> In fact, I might go a step further and say that the fear and uncertainty that came with not having a degree actually pushed me to hustle harder than I think I would've otherwise.

Stress caused by feeling behind is not a strong endorsement in my opinion.



How is this any different than going to college because you're afraid you won't be able to get a job without a degree?


I'm glad it helped give me the motivation to push myself to get where I am today - and in the process learn how much that work and dedication could pay off in the long term.

I have little doubt that, had things turned out otherwise, I'd be sitting at a desk working a safe little office job in my home town.
