My hot take on uni:
If you’re born in a country like Nigeria where life is already on hard mode, going to university is a complete waste of time. It only makes sense if you’re studying outside the country.
If you’re lucky enough to figure out what you want to do early, the smartest move is to compress your life’s work into a short, intense period. Doing this outside the university system is a blessing.
Imagine starting at 16, working 7 days a week, coding or designing. In just ~3 years, you could become a millionaire. Most of the people doing incredibly well today figured it out early.
