Love that question by @nikokampouris:

Dropped out of my PhD in tumor immunology.

I like to tell myself that those 7–8 years in academia at least taught me how to think logically, analyze critically, and question things twice or even three times - which helps a lot when doing due diligence today.

But honestly? It did absolutely nothing to help me enter the crypto market. There were way more time-efficient paths I could’ve taken lol.

Looking back, it was probably a net negative. If I had to give advice, I’d tell people not to go to university - instead, find a hustle, go all in, and tough it out.

Nothing teaches you more than being thrown into cold water and learning to swim.
