That's me when I was 15 (2008ish). Started couple of blogs. Learnt wordpress, SEO, graphics design, analytics, ad optimisation, coding etc. Got millions of visitors, lakhs in earnings. Helped family in a difficult time and financed my education 😊
🔮 Imagine a scenario where you’re
• 18 years old
• Don’t have a laptop/PC
• Have a smartphone with internet
What would you do to become financially independent within a year?
Your career and life choices shouldn't be based on the glitter of the best case outcomes, eg. Jeff Bezos, SRK. The trick here is to find out what the median guy's life looks like and if that lifestyle still attracts and energises you.

I remember giving my C++ final coding exam using pen and paper! University system of today is not at all geared towards the challenge of imparting new age digital skills 🙃
The fact that 90% of colleges in India teaching computer science don’t use Git is astonishing.
In my own college years my batchmates used to send zip files of code to each other. It still happens today.
Ignore the circus 🤡, for CS the Internet is your college.
