If there's one thing I learned from being undocumented it's that nothing comes easy but at the same time you shouldn't get weak or lazy because everything is harder.
I graduated less than a year ago from a private university with a double major plus minor and all on a full ride (which in itself was a whole lot of work to get). Went into the entrepreneur game in the middle of it and continue to do so today. I do the kind of work that many citizens wish they could do. For the protection of my interests I wont go too much into it but I'm doing good in a cool/trendy market.
To be honest, even if I was legal, I didn't really learn anything worthwhile in college (Not to say that you should give up on college, because you shouldn't!! just saying that you should prepare yourself in every way possible). My first business was basically me doing everything and a partner just helping with random stuff I didn't want to do. But to be real, like I said earlier, it ain't, wasn't and still ain't all easy (but hopefully soon it will be

).
Went through some rough patches but I just didn't give up. Just letting all of you all know that it's possible to make things work.
