The Illusion of Freedom: The Three True Paths are Military, College, or Trade School - Financial Freedom, #249

You can do whatever you want; however, the results will speak for themselves. I want young people to be successful. However, cheap or free labor is the best way to earn mega-profits. So, the capitalists WANT you to be stagnant and live unspectacular lives. The average person has three paths to success: joining the military, attending college, or going into the trades. I joined the military. A few outliers can become content creators, athletes, or musicians, but the majority will need to grind our way to the top. If we can avoid the illusion of freedom, we have a chance to become wealthy, own a home, start a family, and retire early.
The path to success eventually leads to freedom. Good Luck!
