For many years, fortune-tellers said I would study for a few more years. But studying for a few more years is actually going to school or reading books to absorb knowledge.

I'm not sure when you graduated now. If you have graduated from undergraduate course, you have studied fortune telling for several years. If you just graduated from junior college or high school, you still haven't studied for a few more years. Read more fortune-telling books for a few years, which means studying in this life. It's impossible not to read in the meantime. When you don't have what you have in your life, you will probably fail in the exam and don't need to study. Reading naturally refers to going to school, not studying at home. If the fortune teller says you should read more books, but you don't, he is wrong. Don't forget that fortune telling is mostly a scam.
