Would you - Stay studying, or travel the world?

Anyone who has read my replies to similar "should I stay in school" threads will be expecting me to tell you to stay in school.

First off, you say "I don't really enjoy university that much anyway", but you don't say how far into your chosen program you are. If you're still in the early stages, this is common. Most courses of study have required courses and basic foundation courses that often are not that interesting. Those are the ones you gut through if your actual chosen field interests you.

So the first thing is to sort out how you feel about your field in general, and is your current discontent coming from actual dislike or boredom with required classes.

The next thing to think about is whether you'll find yourself in the same position a short time into a new field of study.

Only you can decide if the "chuck it all and roam the world" option is right for you.

If you do decide to follow the wild goose, don't burn any bridges. After a few months or even a couple of years, you may decide to pick up your studies again.

My final piece of advice would be to have a backup plan. What could you do if something happened to your online income? What if you were stuck someplace with no Internet connection or no way to access that money? Have a backup skill that doesn't depend on the Internet.

For example, a friend of mine decided to sail around the world. He had money from some wise investments, but he also knew he could find himself needing cash quickly. So part of his preparations involved learning a couple of skills he could use anywhere. He chose tailoring and small engine repair. For the places he planned to go, he knew that he could always fall back on making/repairing clothes and fixing boat engines. I don't know how much tailoring he did, but he never had trouble finding demand for someone who could make dead engines live again.

As Big Mike said, the time to travel is while you are young and without responsibilities.

Whatever you decide, good luck to you...

Hello, well Sam that was an interesting post and I would have to say that I agree. I am 33 and I have thought like that for many years. My family was always telling me to go and focus on education.
However for those that want to do something else, going and spending $90,000 on an education or an MBA is the best plan. You have to apply to get a job and f there is an employment glut then...? You will have to pay off those big loans. If you get the job then you are stuck having to dance to their rhythm to keep your head above water.
Develop your own skills that can assist the world and create value for the people. You will be able to make it on your own.

Just because a person is 50 years old doesn't mean they have wisdom - if they were a fool 20 years ago, they still are today.

Most people get their information through the TV, or through their family/friends, who aren't even successful themselves. (The Blind leading the Blind)

You have got to cut off the Underachievers, and only associate with Successful people, who will encourage you to step your game up. Once you change your social circle, you will be coming up with creative ideas all the time, and the idea of college and formal education will seem like just a joke.

Most people go to work 8 hours, come home watch TV fall asleep and do it all over again. Being an entrepreneur requires you to have greater discipline and tenacity, if you gotta stay up 3 days straight to get something done, then thats what you gotta do.

It's become too easy for Americans to have Food on their plate, a roof over their head, without enduring any real struggles. In a place like South America, you have to be very skilled and knowledgable to attain even a middle class lifestyle, otherwise you will be in poverty. That's why when these immigrants come over here, they start dominating cause America is a piece of cake to them. I've seen alot of Dudes who cant even speak English, accomplish in 2 years what takes an American almost 2 decades.
