There Has Got to Be a Better Way

A conversation I often have with parents is something like this:

“College? There Has Got to Be a Better Way”.

College is like a money pit and does not offer such a powerful tool to create wealth and security as perhaps it did. In fact, if chosen poorly, it generates the opposite.

So today, I want to dive into the issue a little deeper and explore some thoughts.

College? There Has Got to Be a Better Way

The college experience has some issues that often go with it.

massive debt
wasted time
opportunity cost
converting good thinking kids into – well, something else (garbage in and reprogramming)

Military
Trade school
Living in the basement forever

Opportunity to do anything they like
Ability to earn and prosper
Success on their own terms

So to think about this, let’s start by unpacking what college does still offer

Measures of success – classes and grades
Accountability – timelines, deadlines
Credentials – diplomas showing success
