As an online freelancer today, I've realized I don't need to go to college to have a good and high-paying career...

I've been working as an online freelancer for a few years now and I've come to the realization that college may not be the only path to success and financial stability.

With the rise of the gig economy and the availability of remote work opportunities, there are many ways to build a rewarding and lucrative career without the need for a traditional four-year degree. Times are changing.

As an online freelancer, I have the freedom to work on projects I'm passionate about and earn a fair wage for my skills and experience. I've developed my skills through online courses and practical experience, and I've been able to build a strong portfolio and network of clients who value my work.

In our country nurses, doctors, architects, engineers are highly glorified but severely underpaid.

Maybe because we are too fixated to follow where the crowd is. We were not open to other opportunities especially this digital age.

So if you're considering your career options, don't feel like you have to choose between college and a successful future. Instead, consider the many paths to success that are available to you, and explore the opportunities that best fit your goals and interests. Who knows? You may just find that your dream career is waiting for you online.

High shool grad lang ako. Nag start ako mag freelance nung 2nd year high school pa ko sa Elance, then nag Upwork. Graphic design ang niche ko tapos nag apply ako sa VA agency, may paid trainings kasi sila. Sa ngayon 3 clients ko as a VA, mas mataas pa earnings ko kesa sa aunt ko na head nurse sa Australia :)

when I started freelancing, it really made me for once consider dropping out (usually I'd say it as a joke before) but when I was able to make around minimum wage level onwards and the work kept piling up, it really made me wonder if I still needed the collegiate level education. it's nice to have, honestly (and, if anything, that's another set of fancy text to occupy a CV/resume), especially if you're majoring in something that could potentially help your job opportunities in some way, but I'd imagine there's a lot of people who also could do without it.
