I'm starting this thread because I think people can benefit from some simple/strategic life tips that they may have learned or experienced in their life and want to share with others or warn others on what NOT to do and what are some good decisions in life to make. Below is my example.
You are planning on going to college for computer engineering. From my experience, I would recommend you 3 paths. Path 1 consists of you going to a local community college first for the first 2 years and collecting any business/computer/math classes so you have don't have to waste your time with the beginner classes at your dream college. Path 2 consists of you thinking strategically and making one of your parents work for the university you have interest in going. In this way, you don't pay tuition. You would attend your first 2 years at a community college collecting the necessary classes and finishing whatever you need at your local university without paying tuition costs. Path 3 just consists of you going ONLY to your local university instead of another state because it's a lot more expensive. However path 3 will need you to go into debt, and debt here, is something we advise you not to go into.
So stuff like this. I think it's something useful in life for people who are younger or older, to guide them, teach them of the mistakes you have made and make sure someone else doesn't make that same mistake. Obviously with the example above, you could also skip college altogether and just learn coding/business/math on your own and see where that takes you. It's that we are just presenting options that seem a little wiser to take, instead of the path society expects you to take.
So feel free to share your experiences. Maybe you can make a difference in someone's life.
