Lost as a Senior in HS (NEED ADVICE)
I doubt anyone on here has been in my position, i’m 18 years old, a senior in high school and i’m making about 10k a month doing marketing for an onlyfans agency. Weird, I know. For the last couple years my dream career has been in finance, the typical IB->PE->Retire fantasy story. Although I’ve been making decent money online since I started highschool, I’ve always categorized it as just “side money”, until as of late where now I’m pulling in an above average US income.
As someone who has grown up in an affluent area, the expectation for me to goto college is practically a demand (IU Kelley is where I would go). And as I make more and more online, in a position where I am offsite and working no more than 3 hours a day, college dosnt seem to be the move. I got a few months to make my official decision, so if anyone on here who would be willing to give me some advice it would really mean the world. Here are some additional details about my situation for anyone who cares:
-College tuition is covered by my parents
- We are the second biggest OF agency in the US (about to be #1)
-My connections to get into IB/PE are very favorable. (10+ people high up in the industry who I have already met either through family or friends)
-The connections I have made through this career are not anything finance related,but all are either genuinely famous (outside of OF) or really high up in the “internet money space” (2m+/yr)
-No BS, I genuinely believe I have what it takes to handle IB, even after reading this forum almost everyday to see everyone complaining about it.
Again, I truly am lost in all of this and will appreciate any input I can get.
Interesting case, I mean if your are only working 3 hours a day I'd just go to college and work tbh, plenty of people do both nowadays. If all of that money is going right to savings too since it's not to pay for college that's also a bonus you can graduate with 500k in your bank and no debt at 22 which is crazy. So personally I'd do college and when your in college decide from there if you really want IB or are gonna stay with the OF marketing. If you have that many close connections odds are you'll be able to do it given you know your shit, which it seems you do since you've been thinking about this for awhile. Also keep in mind (not speaking for myself here) a lot of people do this just for the crazy money you make in IB & PE. If your making 120k a year at 18 working 15 - 25 hours a week I think people would kill for a job like that. I would ask your boss about upwards mobility though, are you going to be making 120k for next 30years or will you get promoted higher and higher to make more (not really sure how OF marketing works tbh)
With all that said I'd just go to college and work since it gives you more time to make up your mind. It's also never bad to have a college degree if you want to change out of OF marketing industry. College is also free in your case which is a massive bonus.
Thanks for the feedback brother. Most of the money has gone towards savings, the splits at 60% spread through index’s, 20% crypto, 20% just to have.
I'd say that a good split, I personally don't do that much crypto but to each their own. I'm only a few years older than you though so what would I know
Wait, isn’t OF like sexual content? And you have been marketing it for a few years.
They let minors do that?
haha, correct. 1. I don’t handle any of the sexual content. 2.I started with OF specific marketing about 5 months ago (right around when I turned 18).
