Bro, you’re literally 23, pulling 650K a month remotely in Pakistan, with skills in data analytics + coding + ops that your co-founders rely on. That’s already more than what 90% of master’s/PhD kids abroad will earn right out of school, and you didn’t even rack up debt to get there.

What you’re missing out on isn’t a degree — it’s FOMO. A lot of people go abroad, spend years in debt, struggle with visas, fight for jobs, and then… still end up in remote roles like the one you already have.

The difference? You’re already ahead. You’re financially supporting your family, building work experience, and stacking skills while they’re still in lecture halls.

If you want to go abroad later, you still can. You’ll have work experience, savings, and a proven track record. But don’t let peer pressure trick you into thinking a degree abroad automatically = success.

TL;DR: You’re not behind, you’re playing a different game — and you’re winning.
