As someone who invested in a Bachelors Degree and a Master's Degree, I am not one to advocate skipping college. I know that a college education is valuable.
On the other hand, times have changed. The number of college graduates loaded with debt and no employment prospects is astonishing. There is no reason to believe that the job situation is going to improve in the next decade. So how can the tremendous debt which recent college graduates incurred ever be paid off?
What about recent highschool graduates who are now considering college? Is attending college a good idea for them, or is there a better alternative?
As mentioned above I have two university degrees. However, these days, going deep into debt for a college education is not a good investment in my opinion. If one is able to finish college without going into debt then they should probably do so. But for those who must incur a large amount of debt to earn a degree I believe it's a bad choice.
Four years is a very long time. If a young person were to invest four years into building their own business, by the end of those four years they might well be able to retire! This is true if they built almost any one of the reputable network marketing businesses available in the world today.
On the other hand, if that person were to borrow heavily to attend college, they will likely end with a worthless degree, and saddled with a debt they will not be able to pay off for decades.
I would urge those that are contemplating college to give serious thought to building their own business instead. The next four years will pass regardless of the path you choose. If today's high school graduates play their cards right, four years from now they will be financially free.
I like Skinny Body Care. In my estimation it is one of the most promising companies available today. My advice, to those who would take it, is to forgo going into debt to go to college. Build your own business instead. Four years from now you could well be living in a mansion on a hill mortgage-free, with a world-class sports car in the garage. Meanwhile, many of your peers will be head over heels in debt with no decent job prospects.
Is it really a hard decision? It shouldn't be.
