I'm 20 and made $150k online... So I'm Dropping Out of College

I Made $150,000 at 20… So I’m Leaving College If you’re trying to grow on social media, make money online, build a YouTube channel, turn content creation into a real business, or figure out whether college is actually the right path for you, this video is for you. I break down how making money through YouTube and social media changed the way I look at college, work, and the traditional path, and why I’m taking next semester off to go all in on content creation for the rest of 2026. At just 20 years old, I’ve made over $150,000 in the last year and a half through content creation on social media. And that completely changed the way I look at success, college, and what it really means to choose a path for yourself instead of just following the one that everybody else expects you to take. Because for some people, college is absolutely the right move. But for a lot of others, it’s not really a plan at all — it’s just the default. And I think way too many people stay on paths they don’t even truly want, simply because they’re scared to fully test themselves outside of them. If you want to: Grow on social media Make money online through content creation Build a YouTube channel or online business Stop playing it safe and actually test your potential Hear a real perspective from someone actually trying to build something through social media Then this video is for you. In this video, I break down: Why college is not automatically the smart decision for everyone Why so many people stay stuck on paths they don’t actually want Why I decided to take next semester off and go full time on YouTube My plan to give myself until the end of 2026 to prove this to myself Why I’d rather fail at something I love than never know how far I could’ve taken it The bigger vision I have to build multiple channels, grow a team, and turn this into a real media business Why the safer-looking option is not always the smarter one I’m not here to say college is useless. I’m here to say that a lot of people confuse the safer-looking path with the smarter one — and those are not always the same thing. 👉 Let me know in the comments what you think. Do you think taking the semester off is smart or stupid? What would you do if you were in my position? I’ll be making more videos like this — talking about life, business, social media, YouTube, and what this journey actually looks like in real time — so if you have topics you want me to cover, drop them below. sub count: 4,128! Thanks for watching. I’ll see you in the next one.
