He was a consultant for businesses WHILE he attended high school. Faisal Abid went to college but dropped out after serious consideration.

In this episode, he delves into his career path, underscoring self-learning and constructive criticism as key growth factors. He narrates navigating through his insecurity around not having a degree, his shift into AI and starting and stopping business. Tune in to find out how networking and selling skills can benefit your career if you don’t have a degree, as well as how budding engineers can differentiate themselves in the competitive job market.

Key points discussed:

- Networking and continuously talking to people is crucial for success, especially for those without a college degree, as it compensates for the networking opportunities that universities typically provide.

- Learning through doing, such as reverse engineering problems and seeking practical experience, is more valuable than simply acquiring theoretical knowledge from formal education.

- The ability to sell oneself and one's skills effectively is as important as technical knowledge in engineering, particularly in a competitive job market.
