He explained that people told him to go to university but in just one of his companies, he has 45 people on payroll. Asa added that if he were to count it, he probably pays salaries for about 100 people despite him not having a degree.
In his words:
“Everyone’s story is different, everyone’s path is different. People always feel like you have to go a certain way to get certain goals. Without being condescending or like trying to sound cocky, I have friends who have gone to school and have PhD’s now who work a 9-5 and are making peanuts. I’m like dude okay let’s say at that point in time when everybody is like ‘oh go to Uni, stay in Uni, I’m like dude one of my companies pays 45 people salaries a month and that’s only one of the businesses I run. If I do the maths, I probably pay about 100 salaries a month and I have no degree.”
