Published

on

After the cap and gown come off, the world becomes an open canvas for recent graduates.

The transition from the structured life of school to the uncharted territory of adulthood can be both exhilarating and daunting. But what lies beyond the classroom? Let’s dive into the exciting possibilities that await.

In today’s fast-paced world, the traditional path of immediately jumping into a 9-to-5 job is no longer the only option for fresh graduates.

Many are choosing unconventional routes, such as freelancing, entrepreneurship, or gap years filled with travel and self-discovery. The question becomes, “Is it time to redefine success post-graduation?”

From exploring the world through programs like Work and Travel, to embracing the gig economy and remote work, young adults are taking charge of their destinies like never before.

With access to online learning, they can upskill and pivot into entirely new industries. But what challenges and opportunities do these alternative paths present?

While some may worry about the lack of structure after school, others see it as an opportunity to shape their own lives. The key lies in striking a balance between personal growth and financial stability. So, is the road less traveled the way to go, or is there still merit in the tried-and-true career path?

The answer may vary for each graduate, but one thing is clear: life after school is an adventure waiting to unfold.

The difference between a high-risk gamble and a calculated move often comes down to understanding the odds — and respecting them. In this interview, Dr. Steve Enticott from CIA Tax breaks down the psychology behind risky bets.

The surge in Bitcoin’s price is driven by increased interest in safe-haven assets amid the government shutdown. Since October 1st, 750,000 federal employees have been placed on unpaid leave, leading investors to consider alternative assets.

Jeff Kendrick of Standard Chartered remarked that the current market situation differs from the 2018-2019 shutdown, as Bitcoin now closely correlates with U.S. government risk.

Bitcoin’s Future

Forecasts suggest Bitcoin’s upward momentum will persist. Standard Chartered predicts Bitcoin could break its all-time high and reach $135,000. JP Morgan analysts foresee a potential rise to $165,000 by year-end.

Historically, October has been a bullish month for Bitcoin, coining the term ‘Uptober’ due to average returns of 20.63% over the last decade. Ethereum is also on the rise, trading around $4,500, contributing to a larger $4.12 trillion cryptocurrency market.
