I 100% relate to this I hate how teachers put onto students how “if you don’t go to uni, you won’t be anything” when a lot of us think and dream bigger and want to forge our own path
This is so absolutely true ❤ and I dropped out of college and I have such a simple job but I’m soo much happier here than at school and I’m not doing the usual pathway or university and apprenticeship as if they’re the only options… when they’re not
Doing what makes you happy and feel confident is all that matters. Life has a way of working itself out and everything falls into place one way or another 🫶
I completely relate to the system, I went to uni only because I had absolutely no idea about other options and was lost, and so I chose what I thought was the next thing to do. I then 4 years later went to technical college to train on day release as a carpenter. If only people sat me down and went through all the options available including travelling. Follow your dreams. As a child I always wanted an old fashioned book shop 😀
@@Finding_Hannah I was speaking to a colleague over the last couple of days about his son. He has achieved 3 A levels but has said uni is not for him. Since then he saw a thatched roof being recovered on a home near them and he spoke to the thatcher. The boy is now going to do a 7 year apprenticeship. He loves the outdoors, enjoys being creative and feels that he has found work where he can be his own boss and be happy. His dad is so proud of him and that he is happy.
I am a teacher myself, but not in a straight line. I usually would also recommend uni, if you can make it, but here in Germany it is tuition free. You still need to provide for yourself, but you do not end up with a big debt. Also, I don't see UA-cam as a valid career. Not because it cannot work, but it is too volatile to bet on. But if someone is not inclined to a study at uni, especially in your case with such a drive in herself, I would advise to go for your passions. You told about video and photography, so seek some education in that, possible a formal one so it can provide a good part time-job. Second, if you want your own business, you need to get a firm grasp on the boring financial side of business, how to keep it afloat and manage it. If you go abroad, keep in mind that outside of tourism language can be a big barrier in day to day life if not going to an anglophonic country. Especially outside a university setting.

An old fashioned book shop sounds like a dream!!
