You need to graduate with your mates because your story can’t be like that of Mark.
2. You must make acquire some service skills.
One thing I loved being a student is that there is time and I had plenty of it. Trust me, students are free. Lectures go from 8:00am to 2:00 pm on a normal day except in few days where it extends to 4 or, but then, there is time.
Use that time well and acquire a skill that can make you money.
During my time, I got involved into graphics design where I made lots of money designing and doing printing business from home.
In my story, that graphics I started is what brought me this far and I’m still kicking up.

Since everything is not all about school, you must read external books to help your life. There are hard copies, there are soft copies, there are audios and videos to watch, which everyone that you find easier, you must go through them to learn from people who have passed the current state you are now. All the top rich men in the world today have attributed their success to reading good books and that’s one thing you mustn’t miss.

Don’t just acquire the skill and wait until you graduate from school, start immediately, no matter how small.
