I am a big fan of reading blog posts about a man's 20s because I am stuck in them. Chris's posts and videos about being in your 20s were the most memorable for me, especially his story. Before creating this site, Chris hit the club and pickup scene hard in LA and dropped out of law school. I have thought about doing the same myself but I also read Wall Street Playboys and it seems like while they respect Chris, they don't agree with him.
Now I get where Chris is coming from, if you didn't have the wild college experience where you were a part of that 20%, you really need to dedicate your 20s to going out there, hitting the social scene hard, doing all you can to get laid, hitting the club scene, and just getting it out of your system. I like where Chris is coming from with this but I also look at it in regards to a career.
It seems like 20s are also your time to really build a career that will pay six figures, especially in some of the more elite industries like Investment Banking, Management Consulting, Big 4 accounting, and other top tier careers.
Employers, grad schools (especially MBAs), and other places will look closely at what you did in your 20s after college and it seems like 3 years bartending at a nightclub or living the GLL lifestyle will catch up with you in regards to a career.
It will be tougher to get that high paying six figure job now in your 30s as you are behind and you will fall behind in your career if you go that route.
I know Chris started GLL but Chris is fucking brilliant, like he got into a great university and was a bright kid from the get go, top 10% intelligence. Can most of us hope to emulate that? I don't know.
What are your thoughts?
