Its a decision you'll live to be happy about making, but just know that journey to the world of software engineering is not the same thing as Yahoo Yahoo, it takes a lot of time, it's mentally demanding and tasking. Money dey blockchain oo my guy, cool money, you may not get a job as fast as you may anticipate but the moment you get it, you and bank manager na the same salary una go dey collect grin. What am I saying focus on building yourself throughout the journey and leave out the journey and don't of overwhelm yourself with how much you can make.

Hi
Thank you for opening this post. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated!

I am barber, just turned 19 few weeks ago and I am supposed to start my uni education tomorrow but that is not the problem.

I earned upwards of 40... Maybe 60k most of which I aid my siblings with. But it's too demanding, like 14 or 15 hours a day everyday. And I have some skill trading forex but I don't do it now.

Right now I want to drop barbing and possibly school to learn blockchain development. My mom will prolly take me for deliverance. Lol.
I am buying a laptop tomorrow. Already dropped social media, right now its just Reddit and NL.

I am greatly worried about my future and tired of living inna trap.

I remember learning about Bitcoin like 7 years ago but couldn't get in till this year.

My parents can give moral advice but I need you on this one. Thanks

You don’t need to drop everything just because you want to learn blockchain development or programming. You may spend upto one 1+ year learning software development before getting an entry level or internship role. Can you survive this when you are making any money to feed yourself ?

You don’t need to join any school to learn programming. I will advice you to get a Udemy course or an ebook and start to learn blockchain at night after work. Once you have mastered the basic and gotten an entry or junior role, you can drop your barber shop and focus on it.

If you think you are smart enough to be successful at Blockchain development then you should have the brain to combine school and barbing with it.

Had a senior those days in university. He was working on his ICAN, got a job in Lagos, and still lead the class during exams.

* there is a way that seems right but the d end is ‘slippery and gloomy’
* how on earth will u leave ‘certainty 4 uncertainty’ it seems to me ‘they are frying akara in the front of your house’
* it is good for a young man to bear his burden in the youthful age..
*Bitcoin will come and go’ just like forex( giragira wined down)
* and by the way .. if your learnt about Bitcoin 7years ago (19-7=12??)
if you learnt about Bitcoin 7yrs ago and 7yrs after is still here.... then it show that 4 years to come after your university you could still ‘join Bitcoin’ wagon but then .. you would have had your Degree certificate @hand.
Go to school; continue your barbing business in school and you will never be broke
* take life gently .. gently ‘cos d ground is slippery’

You can always trade when you’re idle
Or do you cut hair non stop for 10 hours
If you ask me, my advice would be
find a way to merge it all with a proper schedule
Just find a way.
The future is unpredictable & you shouldn’t put all eggs in one basket.
If it’s possible to learn at the barbershop while not cutting hair, then do it.
FG recently made crypto somewhat illegal too, so you shouldn’t go about discussing blockchain related topics
FG wants to keep Nigerians poor
Don’t bother going into programming if your IQ isn’t well above average.

You can do all together with time and dedication. Don't rush it . Please go to school. That shouldn't be compromised . You don't have to be the best in your class or anything , just go to school acquire knowledge and make lots of contacts. Walk with likeminds like yourself and you will achieve more . One of the Best thing out of school is the people you will meet.

If you have a laptop and active Internet, your learnings with be easier.

Barbing could be a side hustle.
Don't be greedy, don't compare yourself with others. Be contented.

Doing all these together makes you an HUSTLER. This is king of HUSTLING we are talking about, not some shady,fraud or drug dealings.

You are still young . You have plenty time. I sincerely respect your hustle man. It is a motivation to other youths. Please keep it up and you will see how far you will go.


Don't be greedy, don't compare yourself with others ,live withing your means, Go legit!

I'd advice you go to the university, you should be able to combine the two. More so, student community in the universities now are more invaluable than before. You'd find people who are more knowledgeable than you on the subject and the networking going to a Uni would provide too.

My simple answer would be yes BUT this is a future investment that will pay off when a forward-thinking government comes into power.

Under this administration, their definition of block chain is to block any avenue for the youth or citizens to make money through blockchain applications.
