I'm going to talk out of both sides of my mouth for a minute. And I know I’m not the first human being to do this. But all through the years, I've talked about the fact that when you're going to college or you're going to study a trade, you should pursue what you love and then figure out how you're going to make money from it, rather than chase education or training in a field that means nothing to you, but you think it's going to earn you a good income.
Now there's a third thing that I have not mentioned often, and it’s this: Do not feel pressured by a parent or family member to pursue a particular course of education just because it's what they do. You should do what you want to do, not follow in somebody's footsteps.
