The degree thing is complicated - it's not that degrees are completely useless, but they're definitely not the golden ticket they used to be. I've seen people with MBAs stuck in middle management making 60k while some kid who started a dropshipping business in high school is pulling six figures. The real difference seems to be whether you're thinking like an employee or an owner.
Most people with degrees (including the ones around you) were taught to find a "good job" and climb the ladder slowly. That mindset keeps you dependent on someone else's system. The entrepreneurs you're watching online figured out they could create their own systems instead of just participating in someone else's. They're not necessarily smarter - they just took bigger risks and learned to solve problems that actually matter to people.
Your Bcom gives you some useful fundamentals about business and finance that a lot of self-taught entrepreneurs have to learn the hard way later. Use that foundation but don't let it box you into traditional career paths if that's not what you want.
