Many of us often find ourselves dissatisfied with the education systems around us, but despite that dissatisfaction, we give in to whatever it has to offer for the sake of getting through school. However, young entrepreneur Caden Boof did not continue on the same educational track and decided it was not worth his time. At the young age of 16, Caden dropped out of school after realizing the problems in the school system and feeling like he was wasting his time. So, what did Caden do? And how’s it going?
You don’t often hear about people dropping out at the age of 16. This is because most people are way too young to understand the consequences and the responsibilities that will be thrust upon them, but Caden isn’t like most people his age. Caden started his YouTube channel to teach people about generating incomes through NFTs, crypto, and e-commerce. He uses social media such as TikTok and YouTube to push his content out to his viewers, and since he started, Caden has generated thousands of dollars a day.
Caden understands that while school may be good for some, it’s definitely not for everyone, so he provides an alternative way for people to really understand how to make good money in ways different from what they’re taught in school. Through this, Caden is helping people who don’t want 9–5 jobs but want to diversify their finances and achieve financial literacy.
Coming from a lower-middle-class background, Caden never really had the chance to understand finances, so it took a lot of tinkering and trial and error for him to arrive where he is today. Using his laptop and phone, Caden taught himself everything he knows today, and after perfecting it, he now teaches other people. The demand for his work has been incredible, and at just the age of 17, Caden is making thousands a day.
However, the journey has not been easy. It was uncomfortable for someone as young as Caden to sit in school and feel like his time was being wasted while everyone around him never questioned anything. Caden had already started a business online and realized it was making money and had potential—all he needed to do was put more effort into it. Caden had to go the extra mile, and since he had no help, he had to teach himself everything using Google and Youtube.
Caden says things have now changed, and you need to move with the times. According to him, you do not need a lot of resources to become an entrepreneur—all you need is access to the internet. There are vast, untapped opportunities waiting for you. He says that the internet has the potential to take you places and make you money that a college degree never could.
Moving forward, Caden wants to continue helping people by making more educational videos on TikTok and YouTube. Furthermore, he wants to scale up his e-commerce business as well.
