Not going to college when I was 18 is the best decision I've made in my life so far. I've felt some regret in the past about missing out on the social experience, but that sacrifice was 100% worth it.

I would be nowhere near where I am now, in terms of my career and overall happiness, if I spent the majority of my time studying instead of doing.

Choosing a different path than traditional education can lead to unexpected opportunities and personal growth. Embracing experiences outside the classroom has clearly paid off, shaping a successful career and fulfilling life. Trusting your instincts can sometimes be the best decision one can make.
