I know so many amazing, talented people who feel stuck because the traditional path of "go to college, get a job" wasn't for them—or wasn't possible. Between the massive cost of education and the demands of everyday life, it's just not an option for everyone.
But here’s the inspiring part: the digital world is full of opportunities that value skills, experience, and personality over a formal degree.
