When the majority “zigs,” you should “zag.” Be different. Stand out from the crowd. Being the same as everyone else will get you “normal” results. And right now, “normal” means carrying a lot of student loans, car debt, house debt, credit card debt, being overweight, not reading/improving yourself, etc. Why be normal? When everyone does the same thing, they become replaceable. The supply is high and the demand is low. Be irreplaceable. Develop skills that are useful, in high demand, and differentiate you from others.
