The result of attending a university could lead to landing a job, gaining more knowledge, debt, and depression. A college degree is the ticket to access a middle class and average life. Obtaining a loan to attend college so you can get a job to pay off the loan in the first place wouldn’t make financial sense. Time is money. Instead students should attend college to network.

Once Upon a Time College was worth it

College was worth attending back when students were paying between $1,000-$5,000 a year for everything and landing a job upon graduation. The economy was different. Purchasing a home was much cheaper, credit card debt didn’t exist, and the population was less compared to today.

College is a Great Business

Banks will give an inexperienced 17 year old $100,000 of student loans but not to open a business. The current national student loan debt in the U.S. is $1.6 Trillion. Every semester Tuition, room and board, textbooks, equipment, personal expenses, insurance, food, and transportation fees must be paid. As a student you must pay $300 or more for a textbook that will only be used once for an online code. Students walk to classes but yet pay for transportation fees. Everyone pays Taxes including citizens and businesses but according to the IRS code 501(C)(3) Colleges and Universities absolutely do not. On campus Concerts and Sport events which has nothing to do with education are also Tax exempt. March Madness, which is a College basketball tournament brings in about $930 billion dollars in revenue every year to colleges. Student athletes who created that revenue by performing on the court receives nothing but a “free” education.

Educational System is Behind

America is ranked 7th in literacy, 29th in Math, 24th in science and yet taxes are being deducted to fund schools. Students are uninterested and because of low wages instructors are not teaching. With low wages comes with no learning and effort in the classroom. Teachers are forced to work multiple jobs as salaries decrease despite having Master and Doctorate degrees. That explains why gym instructors are now math or history teachers. Teachers must follow a curriculum regulated by the government. Parents are not involved, schools are overcrowded, and campuses are unsafe. The U.S. education system is failing.

Read Words or Live Life

In school, children were taught early to never make mistakes and they’ll get penalized for it through bad grades. Fact is, life is the best teacher and it encourages individuals to fail in order to learn. Learning comes from mistakes. Learning is your lesson. Outside of school adults face mortgages, credit card debt, car maintenance, stock market, and big purchases like buying a home or a vehicle every day. The educational system fails to inform students about credit, the home buying process, even changing a flat tire, and basic necessities that are vital to life. Instead the system encourages the idea of clocking in and listening to a professor who has a different age of thinking. Graduates are financially naked and Creditors will make profits from the uneducated. Business professors teaching about business but if they really knew much about it they’ll probably be out running their own businesses. Don’t spend half a decade in college just to acquire massive debt attached to your name when you can learn skills for free.

Learning Early How to be Controlled

For eight hours of control, parents send their children to follow instructions, told to sit down, turn to page 261, solve a problem, and must raise their hands to either speak or use the restroom. For decades the education system destroys creativity. Students are getting prepared for the corporate world in a prison like environment. The school system ignores the simple truth students have different interests and passions. Schools want to teach students the same material simultaneously and will fail them when they only needed more time to be on the same level. The purpose of life is to be mentally and emotionally free.

Exhibit A

Post-Graduation Depression

After the blood, sweat, and tears you finally graduated but what’s next? No more exams, drinking, and parties. It’s time to “grow” up. It’s also probably time to move back in with your parents where it all started. Applying for jobs is an option except after many interviews all you hear is “unfortunately were looking for experience” or being denied because you’re “overqualified”. Yes, depending on the job you can be denied because your level of degree is too high. Thanks to school, students weren’t taught how to handle rejection, be determined, and how to be resilient. On average students who graduate with a four year degree also carry $30,0000 worth of debt with them. Companies we use everyday such as Google, Apple, and Tesla do not require a degree to work for them. College graduates spend time and money only to fight for entry level positions. Now you’re stuck at your parents house financially unstable and bored. This is Post-Graduate Depression. Today, adults are in fields unrelated with their college degrees. Young adults will feel like a failure at life, unorganized, experience lack of motivation, anxiety, and will become desperate. There’s much more to life than school and a JOB (Just Over Broke) that’ll probably no longer exist years from now. Don’t let it discourage you. Life is about creativity and using that to face challenges.

It All Depends…

Skip college, learn how to close more deals and how to negotiate. Attend seminars, take online courses about your field and not about Christopher Columbus. Read more Books, invest more money and Communicate. Everyone needs to decide what’s best for them.
