Hello friends! My name is Tobias, and this is my friend Gustav (the red dude in the chair). We just installed a small office at his place, where we will do LOTS of things… Which we are going to share with you guys!
So, who are we, and who am I? And who are you? And who are… nvm.
As I said 2 sentences ago my name is Tobias. It´s pronounced like” t oh - b AY - uh s”. I´m from Sweden and I am 23 years old. I just found Steemit, and I´m pretty new to cryptos and blockchain technology overall. But anyway, I´m going to start share my life with you guys. Mostly I do it for myself, I enjoy writing and I think it will be good for me to write about my life. And maybe someone find my thoughts and my journey interesting. Here is a happy picture of me:
So what´s happening in my life right now?
I moved to another city and dropped out of university less than a week ago. I studied to a” Degree of Master of Science in Business and Economics”. I studied for almost two years, and I just realized it´s a waste of time. At least for me.
I didn´t quit uni because I had a hard time, I never failed an exam. I just felt that like 90% of all the things we learned in classes is worth nothing in life. The remaining 10% I can learn by myself, not by professors holding seminars just because they have to so they can do their research.
I´ve felt this way a long time, but it wasn´t until I talked to Gustav about it I actually did something about it. The last two or three weeks I´ve been realizing a lot of things. One is that it wasn´t me who wanted to study at university, it was society. Ever since I was around 12 years everyone around me (family, friends, society) told me that I have to study at university when I get older to have a great life.
Quick and easy course in how life in todays society works:
- Get a degree in something while living on loaned money for 3-5 years
- Get a job (probably boring job) with a mediocre salary
- Get loans for car and house
- Start a family
- Be in debt the rest of your life
As the zombie I used to be, I just accepted that. But not anymore. You know why? I don´t want to.
All my friends at uni though that I´ve gone completely insane when I told them I was going to leave uni and start trading cryptos instead. And I don´t blame them, they believe fully hearted in society, media and banks hehe. And they think the world economy will look the same for a looong time. I think not.
I didn´t quit uni only to trade with cryptos (but much of my time from now will be spent on reading and learning everything there is to learn.)
The main reason I quit uni is because I realized that I´m not free. And I want to be free. And the best way to start being free is to start being free, right?
