There so good ! 😍

Pirates starting to turn up the heating in the second half!

Just doing a spot of autumn gardening, nothing to see here.

I have a college degree, and I’m grateful for it.

But some of the biggest financial opportunities I’ve had in my life came from learning skills that nobody ever taught me in a classroom.

And I think that’s something more young people need to understand.

I graduated college in 2002 and spent 16 years working as a financial advisor.

That career gave me a solid foundation, and I wouldn’t trade that experience.

But you know what college never taught me?

How to start a blog that makes money.

How to build a YouTube channel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

How to turn posting pictures on Facebook into a business generating tens of thousands of dollars a month.

I had to figure all of that out myself.

And believe me, there was plenty of trial and error along the way. 😂

Now we’re living in a world where someone can earn millions playing video games online while another person spends six figures on an advanced degree and struggles to find a decent-paying job.

Does that mean college is worthless?

Absolutely not.

We still need doctors, engineers, accountants, and plenty of other professionals whose careers require formal education.

But I think we’ve spent WAY too long telling kids that college is the only respectable path to financial success.

There are people making incredible incomes in skilled trades, running small businesses, creating content, and building skills they learned outside a classroom.

Not everyone will become a millionaire YouTuber. Those success stories are the exception.

But not everyone who graduates college ends up with a great career, either.

As a dad of four, I want my kids to understand that education matters, but so does learning how to solve problems, develop valuable skills, and recognize opportunities.

Because a diploma might help you get your foot in the door.

But what you do with the opportunities in front of you matters a whole lot more

Paying for dinner in America comes with a few extra steps that Europeans just don’t understand.

In the European Union, menu prices have to include tax, so the number you see is the number you pay, while in the US, sales tax varies by state and city and usually gets added at the end.

Tipping is the other big difference. The federal minimum wage for tipped workers in the US is still just $2.13 an hour, unchanged since 1991, so in many states servers rely on tips for most of their income. In much of Europe, servers earn a regular wage, and in countries like France, a service charge is already built into the menu price by law.

Even the way you pay is different, since European restaurants usually bring a card reader right to the table, while many American spots still take your card away and come back with a receipt to sign. That’s slowly changing as more US restaurants switch to tableside payment, though the tip screen isn’t going anywhere.
