People are put into our path on purpose. The path you are walking can change. We are in a fourth turning, this means the change is accelerating. I studied in higher level education over six years. I would not suggest this for someone starting out in 2025. My top suggestions/opinions are:

• go to a in person bitcoin meetup
• think about what your childhood self wished to pursue and align with that vision
• people make mistakes when they are young (like your father and maybe yourself), keep moving
• the internet has the only curriculum you need
