A friend of mine dropped out of college 1 semester short of a CS degree, wrote some iOS apps, sold them for a lot of money, started several software companies, wrote a book on how to do this, invested in several more startups and lost most of what he had made - and now runs a land clearing company and is having loads of fun and success doing it. Sometimes you don't realize what you really want to do until something bad happens.
- Winterflow3r 5y agoHow did he lose what he had, if I may ask? Was it the startup investments? What is a land clearing company?
- coldcode 5y agoHe invested in startups that failed miserably. Land clearing is how you turn bare land/forest/swamp into something people can build on. i.e he and his employees drive big construction equipment. Actually a profitable business in the right area.
