Do college degrees really guarantee success, or is hustle and vision the true path? From biology degrees to event planning, from corporate dreams to entrepreneurship, the ladies get candid about family pressures, cultural expectations, student loans, and the grit it takes to turn dreams into reality.Takeaways: A degree doesn’t guarantee success—hustle and resilience matter most. Family and culture often push education without explaining the realities after graduation. Internships, networking, and mentors create more opportunities than a diploma alone. Dreams require action—ideas only matter when paired with execution. Every “no” is just a redirection toward your true path. Soundbites:“Every no is just a redirection to the step you’re supposed to be.” “Failure is not an option—resilience wins every time.” “Degrees don’t guarantee dreams; hustle does.” “Dreams are only ideas until you put in the work.”
