During the lockdown, a young woman decided to dropout of college and instead start her own business, which is now bringing in $10,000 AUD every day.
Sydney, Australia native Chloe Zhu was a bachelor’s student in finance/computer science in the year 2021.
The young woman, then 19, rapidly concluded that it was not a good fit for her and that she had no idea where she could take it. Consequently, she dropout school.
“I couldn’t help but feel extremely lost with the direction I was going down in my career with my university degree,” she told 7Life.
“So I decided that college wasn’t for me when I switched majors twice and still didn’t feel like I belonged there.
I withheld the news that I was leaving college from my loved ones for nearly eight months.
