Moses Lin says he'll never consider going back to college, despite being one semester shy of graduating with a bachelor's degree.
"I knew that if I went to college and took a traditional route, I'd be hundreds of thousands in debt," he says.
Lin started a YouTube channel during college, where he posted acoustic covers of pop songs, and began teaching guitar lessons for money.
Now, after years of building his own business as a traveling wedding guitarist and investing his earnings into real estate, Lin, 31, is on track to make $500,000 this year.
Lin taught himself everything when it comes to building his business as a wedding guitarist.
