Is going to college a scam?
I'm a 16 year old Junior in High School, and occasionally I think to myself whether I should go to college, or going to trade school or any other alternatives, ultimately avoiding college. Most people end up still paying their college loans 15 years or longer after entering the work force (depending on salary). Should I place myself in that predicament where I have to pay this debt so many years of my life? I'm still figuring out what I should do in my career, but right now I'm kind of lost with no trajectory in my future. I have a slight interest in tech, but if I can be successful in jobs like plumbing, HVAC, and other skilled trades, what should I do? Please guide me.

Feeling lost! Can I build a remote tech/AI career without experience?
Hi everyone, I’m going through a really difficult period in my life and would be incredibly grateful for some honest advice. I am 34 years old and I recently moved to Japan (Fukuoka), and I’m struggling to find a viable career path. I don’t speak Japanese yet (I’ve started studying it), and I’ve been applying for English or Italian teaching jobs (I'm Italian) just to keep things moving but that’s not my real passion. My background is in commercial HVAC pipefitting, with over 10 years of experience on large construction sites across Australia and New Zealand. Unfortunately, without Japanese language skills, it’s nearly impossible to continue in that field here in Japan. In the past 5-6 months I started studying cybersecurity, using platforms like Coursera and TryHackMe (earning two certificates: Google IT Support and Google Cybersecurity). I was really motivated, but just recently I started to feel discouraged, without hands-on experience or industry connections, it felt like I wouldn’t be able to break into the field. I paused my studies because I was afraid I was wasting time, but deep down I still want to continue. I’ve always been passionate about IT. I’ve had a strong interest in this world for as long as I can remember, and recently I’ve become more and more fascinated by how AI is changing the way we work and solve problems. I love exploring tools and workflows that help automate tasks, improve productivity, and create new opportunities for people like me, without a formal background in the industry. I’m also interested in the creative side of AI, such as image generation (which I occasionally share on socials), but my main goal is to find ways to use AI and IT tools to build a remote career, even starting small. That’s why I’m reaching out here. I’d really appreciate any honest, practical advice on: Is it truly possible to start a remote career in IT, without prior experience or a degree? What learning paths, certifications, or tools are actually worth focusing on? How can someone like me start from scratch and build a sustainable future in IT while managing day-to-day survival? Are there beginner-friendly roles where curiosity, consistency, and self-teaching are enough to open doors? Thank you so much for reading. I’m feeling lost, but still hopeful. Even a bit of direction or encouragement would mean a lot to me right now.
