AyoBacaNews.com - The biggest lie told to young people aged 18, 19, and 20 is that going to university guarantees a high-paying job. This notion, drilled into us by schools and reinforced by parents, is outdated.
While a degree may still have value, relying solely on it won't guarantee wealth. Many degrees are useful, and the university experience is unforgettable, but times have changed.
Academics help to open a broader mindset and learn various theories. However, side hustle are also very important to do since college because this will open the door to a career path.
In technology era, you have many choice for start side hustle. For example, you can open freelance services from just from online.
Content creator
That's why students need to build side hustles that can grow into bigger opportunities. For example, Daniel Bitten, a 16-year-old, earns half a million dollars a month with short-form content on Snapchat.
He doesn't even show his face. He started using social media for fun, and now it's his business. Platforms like Snapchat, YouTube, and TikTok pay creators for original content.
Repoted from YouTube Mark Tilbury on Wednesday, 04 September 2024, by adding unique edits and voiceovers, Daniel built multiple successful channels.
His success demonstrates how short-form content is not just quick cash but also a long-term strategy.
But don't get me wrong—it requires effort. Creating viral short-form content takes creativity and understanding human psychology, not just fancy editing. Just keep learning daily.
Investing
Another side hustle is investing. Some may argue it’s not a hustle, but it can bring wealth over time. Dollar-cost averaging into stocks or index funds can compound wealth over years.
Even starting with $200 a month can grow into $1.2 million over 40 years with a 10% annual return. Consistency is key, but it should be paired with a side hustle for faster wealth.
Then there's Discord building. Chris Peters, at 19, earns $115,000 per month managing Discord servers for clients. He learned to offer value and is now indispensable.
From online coaching to AI animation, side hustles are everywhere. You don't need to follow old advice. You can forge your own path and create wealth in new ways. (*)
