I dedicated a lot of time to school I was a good student started working when I was young I think maybe I was 10 years old 11 years old pretty much as soon as we came to the United States always had some money in my pocket helped the family out by the time I was 17 years old before I went to college I was working in the electronics business like a lot of uh Israelis and syrians did at the time I was already making $1,000 a year so I already knew what money was at a young age but I also knew that I don't want to be in this business forever or even for a long time so I went to college I went to Big MT University at a 3.9 GPA they considered me a in the secular world and after a year I dropped out why I was surrounded by losers saw no purpose of going to college I already knew what I wanted I wanted money and the only reason I think people go to school is the only purpose for school unless you have a specific profession you're going after if you're going to be an architect you're going to be a doctor you're going to be a lawyer you're going to be an accountant where you actually need a degree otherwise it's a waste of time the only purpose for school in general is to teach you how to think you're not going to use the history lessons you learn in social studies the gym classes you took in high school are not going to help you in life unless you continue working out forever math classes you could probably learn just working at a gr grocery store or just use a calculator so generally school is actually a waste of time for most people if you're not willing to dedicate yourself to a specific profession since I already knew what I wanted to do I didn't want to be a lawyer I didn't want to be a doctor and I didn't want to be in school for 100 years I was already used to money 17 years old making a lot of money I go to school everyone is just smoking a pot all day and going to clubs and it was fun but it was a waste of time you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by tor anytime.com
