<prompt> Human: Hello everyone, so a quick bit of info about myself. I am currently 21 years old, male, and have one year of college finished. I live with my parents rent free and only pay for my phone and car insurance. I have been paying my way thru college albeit a bit slowly because of a bit of goofing off at first, and since up until recently I was only making 7.25 an hour I now work 24 hours a week all im gonna get and managed to snag a job at 18 an hour. So if im being 100 honest im in school because thats what I was told would make me successful. I loathe school and really dont have any specific passion. I look around and see my friends graduate with 25,000 dollars or more in debt and those same friends either cant find jobs or make less than I make currently. My current job has no room for promotion so its just a decent hourly wage for now. What the hell should I do?! A trade maybe? Are they a smart move anywhere I can find info or any you recommend? Im realistic about life and try not to expect much so my 5 year plan with hard work hopefully involves me making 50k a year eventually.Assistant: What is it that you do or want to do? Rocket scientist go to school. IT specialist Get certificates and start at the bottom. Construction trade school Professional Video gamer Cheetos, comfy chair, Rockstar Energy drink. Human: To be honest im not sure, im going to school to become an accountant which I know will make me hate my life. I wouldnt mind working with my hands if I got to see my finished project every time. I would really like to be my own boss though and start some kind of business even though I have no idea what kind of business  <response>: What you want to do isnt the question. The question is, are you good enough at a certain skill that you can get paid to do it without a college degreewith an alternative certification available outside of school.That questions determines whether the question is do I need to be in school versus do I want to be in schoolIf you have skills that can make you a living now, develop a base for that business, then quit and go back when you are ready to pursue a degree in an area you know you wantOtherwise, stay in school and get the skills you need to work
