 Is College Right For You ?

student_PNG114.png

Did you know that there's about 1 trillion dollars in student loan . If your just starting out of high school and your parents believe you should go to college. But you don't know what to decide. Well think about it like this, when your parents were young college was cheap and affordable. But college is not cheap and affordable anymore . In 2018 it cost a ton of money to enroll in college. All that college really is is a huge social experiment. About fifty percent of people who leave college with degree are unemployed . That means even with a degree people are unemployed. Isn't that crazy to believe four years for a degree and you still don't have a job. James Altucher had a degree in computer science even when he graduated and got a job being a computer programmer he wasn't even qualified to do his job , they put him in training. To really learn you have to be passionate . Follow your passion and be dedicated and stick to it !

Hell even MIT offers free courses (https://ocw.mit.edu/help/get-started-with-ocw/)that help you get a degree. There's a ton of places where you can learn thing for free. The best experience is being a apart of the real world and learning everyday . Not only that but learning from your failures . Take advantage of your local library ! Studies shown that 45 minutes after a college lecture most students forget about them. You don't need to be in college ! You can make friends anywhere and anytime . Kids automatically have to think you have to go to college when it's the complete opposite . So learn from anything you can online,go to your local library. You have a four year head start , most people won't learn most things from college , with out college you can apply real world experience and learn on hand. Lastly money boils down to college, they are just wasting your money at the end of the day ! So learn from your experiences and take advantage of the power of free people !

Stay Classy

It really depends on what niche you want to work in
If you want to be entrepreneur, you don't need a college.
If you want to be a doctor, you should go to college
Those are just examples, but there are many more.

Certain jobs really do need a college education but a lot of them doesn't
