Lately, we have all been bombarded with the topic of how effective is a college degree to make more money than average people.
Is School Worth It?
I know why I went to school and you know too. You suppose to learn how to make money and how to make a living from it.
16 years I’ve spent in total to earn this knowledge.
In the end, I earn some diplomas and some handshakes, but no guarantees or job offers. I was confused when I finished college. Didn’t know where I was going.
Preoccupied with learning for my exams, I forgot about, what I wanted to do in this world.
So, here I was in 2021 looking for an answer. And all that I’ve seen all over the place was…YOU ARE A FAILURE.
Disappointed in myself and in the fact that I’ve invested so much time to learn the secrets of making money, and here I’m with a college degree not having any cent.
Frustrating built up and finally, I’ve started earning money from things I like to do. I was taking my writing career seriously and I’ve seen the reward. No degree was involved, just curiosity and the hunger for succeeding.
Now, statistics say that more school doesn’t guarantee you more money and this is true.
But, some professions give you much more opportunity to make money faster than anywhere else. Like architecture and engineering, health, or the law.
Luckily these are not the only professions that the world needs. And nowadays with all this technology you have the opportunity to learn everything from home. Education comes to you nowadays and you have the chance to become more and more educated in your interested areas.
What College Degree Pretends to Offer Me?
The illusion that you have experience in the field and you are an expert. This is what a college degree gives you, the title which helps you as I’ve said before more money quicker.
Also, the status that comes with it. Sadly, people take this title as an opportunity to be superior to others.
Yes, ego plays in bigger leagues too.

What can I do without a college degree?
A lot of things. You can still earn money without a college degree. The most important thing in the world is to want to make money and to put in the work. Be true to yourself, learn how to communicate with the world around you, and be consistent in your journey. Money will follow you.
I wrote an article back in the day where I was talking about the 3 most important jobs I know will create millionaires in 2023.
This is my personal view on how things will evolve in the future. The world will always need these 3 jobs/businesses.
Personal Chef
As time passes by and everyone wants to become a star on TikTok or a top leader in a corporation, nobody is willing to learn how to cook. There is no time and no patience.
Hiring a personal chef will be the new rule of the world. There are a few people who have the time, the pleasure, and the knowledge to put aside a dish.
In a busy world where everyone is occupied with Zoom meetings hiring a chef becomes the new order.
People are sick of the restaurants and the high prices that they have there. They want something personalized, good for their health, and fresh.
This is what a personal chef is for.
Pool/Roof Cleaning+House Cleaning
I never thought that this job will become one of the best jobs in the world. Yes, their paycheck is crazy.
If you want to start a business I would recommend you to be in a country where there is this need. And mostly this job is highly required in USA and UK.
Like the personal chef, a professional cleaner has the knowledge, the instruments, and the time to resolve your issue every time you want.
House cleaning is high searched theses days. There a lot of people who are earning millions of dollars from this bussiness.
Matchmaker
Looking for love isn’t an easy job and we all know it. Why won’t you hire someone who searches for potential candidates for your soul?
Yes, this one will be huge. And the reason why is that people will get tired of Tinder, Bumble, and other apps that exist.
Let’s be honest on these apps most of the people that we find are just for a 1 night stand not for life. I saw people desperate to find a partner for the long term, and trust me they are willing to pay big bucks for it.
I’ve seen the popularity that it has in India and my gut is telling me that this job will become the highest-paid job in the world.
Of course there are many other jobs that you should take in consideration: commercial pilot, web developer, real estate broker, electrician.
Jobs that require physical activity will become more and more appreciated and valued by the whole world. The world is changing every day and being flexible is the new norm.
Every job is unique and requires a lot of work, dedication, and passion. No matter what job you choose (management, medical services, data, marketing) do everything with an open heart.
