Debating if I should go back to school and finish a bachelors degree.

I could work full time at my 2nd job and receive enough tuition reimbursement for a full ride.

I'd be working two full time jobs and going to school.....but I think i'd be able to handle it. Both jobs are relatively chill and allow me a lot of time typing away on the laptop. I've previously spent the "free time" freelancing learning how to code, creating lo-fi beats and zapping freaks.

The degree might aid me in making more sats into the future, two full time jobs would aid me in making more sats in the present.

Thoughts?

Unless your dream is to be a doctor or something similar which absolutely requires a degree, going to university is probably a waste of time. Unless you do it for the fun.

If your goal is to make money, look at what business you can bootstrap. Read Make by Pieter Levels (https://readmake.com/), listen to some of the episodes from the IndieHackers podcast.

Was thinking lawyer.

Its a moonshot, but i've worked as a legal assistant for 6 years and have around 30 credits.

My primary goal is probably just to stick it to the haters.

Interesting book, I'll checkout the lex interview as well.

Studying law may well be worth it, if it is what you want to do. If you are just doing it because it is prestigious and earns well, research the potential impact of AI on it. Many professions will vanish in the next 10 years. Learning how to bootstrap a business can be as profitable but is much more resistant to change.
