"Why I Quit College — And Chose My Dreams Instead"

 "Why I Quit College — And Chose My Dreams Instead"

"By Dhyanesh Kotyan"

“College taught me how to work for someone else. But I wanted to build something for myself.”

Let me say it straight: "college felt like slavery."

Every day, I sat in classrooms listening to things I couldn’t connect with. I wasn’t learning how to chase my dreams. I was being trained to follow instructions — not create something of my own.

So, I made a bold decision.

  'I quit college.'

And I don’t regret it — because that’s when I truly began living.

 🧠 College Teaches You How to Work — Not How to Grow

Think about it…

* College tells you "how to solve problems" — but not how to find your purpose.

* It tells you how to "work a job" — but not how to build your own business.

* It never teaches "how to earn money", "how to manage life", or "how to create a brand".

But I didn’t want to be just another employee.

I want to be a "YouTuber", a "businessman", a "creator" — someone who works on his own terms and builds something big.

And college was taking me further away from that.

" 🔥 The Day I Said “Enough.”

I reached a point where I felt stuck — like I was wasting my time, energy, and potential.

I asked myself:

> “Why am I learning things I’ll never use, while ignoring the things that truly matter to me?”

That’s when I decided:

"If college won’t teach me how to follow my dreams, I’ll leave and teach myself."

 💪 What I’m Doing Now

I didn’t quit to be lazy. I quit to grow.

Now, I’m learning real things:

* How to make content on YouTube

* How to build my personal brand

* How to earn online

* How to think like an entrepreneur

* How to stay motivated and focused

I read, I work, I learn, I fail, and I get back up.

And most importantly — "I’m building MY life, not someone else’s plan."

 💬 Final Words from Dhyan

If you feel lost in college, or pressured to follow a path that’s not yours, remember:

"You’re allowed to choose differently."

You’re allowed to chase your own dreams.

You’re allowed to leave behind what kills your spirit.

Because real success isn’t about a degree.

It’s about direction.

And this is my direction.
