I hope you don’t mind my bragging, but I recently sealed a commodities deal and I have other clients backed up. At the moment, I am going to simply pay my way and enjoy the monthly income that comes from these deals. Then get some certifications and THEN my degree.
That’s not bragging. That’s using your head! Best of luck to you now and in the future.
Well done. It’s not bragging, IMHO. Earning income because of value you provided to a market is completely honorable. My advise (just in case you care) is what I learned from the Bible: one, never fall in love with earning wealth; two, never depend on having a lot of wealth; three, always save some of it; and four, consider it a blessing to be able to give some if it away.
