To be thinking about investing and going to school at this age is great. I was not thinking about investing but I was thinking about going to school. To give a short answer, yes you should be doing something to better yourself and the sooner you do something, the better your future will be. All I can talk to you is what I would do. At 18 I was not thinking or had anyone show me what to do. At 18 I was working a full time job and a part time job living at my mom’s place trying to her out. I was going to collage but dropped out due to working so many hours. This happens to a lot of people not knowing what to do with life or what to start.
Before you take any actions, please do your own research before starting anything or buying anything or investing into anything. The one thing I wish I had done was start investing in the stock market. When I was 18 I wished I had invested in the stock market. I can just think investing in the stock market in a early age, I would so far ahead today. But you don’t have to invest all of your money in the stock market, Just $20 to $30 bucks can buy some stocks and hold them. At the same time you can save for school. Two things can happen at the same time, you can invest in the stock market and save for school, so I say do both. Not only do those two things but do other things like start a YouTube channel. Starting a YouTube channel at a young age is a great thing. The sooner you start something, the sooner you will see results later in life so building a YouTube channel now will be better for you in the future
