The Myth of University Success
The biggest lie young people are told when they’re 18, 19, and 20 is go to university and you’re guaranteed to get a high paid job. This lie is drilled into through the school system and then reinforced by parents who are stuck in the past. While it might have been true in my time, it’s not the reality anymore. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that studying is a waste of time. Many degrees are very useful and the student experience is unforgettable. However, relying solely on a degree to make you rich isn’t the right approach. That’s why it’s so important for students to start some kind of side hustle that has the ability to grow into something much bigger in the future. Look, I wasn’t wealthy enough to be able to afford university or probably academically smart enough, but I always had side hustles. Ultimately, my side hustles turned into multimillion dollar businesses and made me a millionaire.
Why Students Should Focus on Side Hustles
That’s why today I’m gonna dive into seven side hustles students can start this year. To be honest, these can actually apply to anyone anywhere in the world, and because I hate those silly videos that just regurgitate the same list of side hustle ideas, I’m actually gonna share real life examples of people smashing it and rate them out of five in these important categories. How much time it takes to learn, how much money you need, and how difficult it is to make a thousand dollars per month.
Side Hustle #1: Faceless Short Form Content
This is Daniel Bitton. Like many of you, he started using social media for fun at the age of 13. Now at 16, he’s earning half a million dollars every single month creating short form content on Snapchat without even showing his face. It sounds unbelievable, but it’s completely true…

Side Hustle #2: Investing for Long-Term Wealth
A lot of people are gonna disagree with me on this one as it’s technically not a side hustle. However, it makes me around about $17,000 per week, so I thought it was definitely worth a mention…

Conclusion
Both of these ideas prove one powerful truth — your path to wealth doesn’t depend on a diploma, but on action. The earlier you start, the faster you’ll learn what really makes money work for you.
