I’ve been playing BitLife - a simulation game genre - for quite some time, and most of my characters end up going to college because it feels like the safest path to a stable career. Recently, I wanted to try something different and skip higher education altogether, but I’m not sure how to make that path successful.

For players who have experience with this, what careers or life choices work best without a college degree? Is it better to focus on jobs, entrepreneurship, fame, crime, social media, or something else entirely? How important are stats like happiness, health, looks, and smarts when taking this route?

I’d really appreciate any tips, strategies, or examples of playthroughs where skipping college still led to a rich, famous, or otherwise successful life in BitLife.
