Is COLLEGE Worth It?
The numbers tell us no… over 50% of students who begin college walk out with debt. Many times, if the student stays the 4-5 year duration, the debt is over $100K.
We must now take note and tell our children:
1. If you are going to college, choose from the following professions: medical school or medical technology, engineering, law school, teacher education, social work, and health sciences. Seek Ancestral/energy guidance to know your child’s compatibility with the chosen profession.
2. Otherwise, choose a trade or vocational school where your child can learn a skill that will pay well and CASH can be STACKED to eventually launch a business. Seek Ancestral/energy guidance for your child’s compatibility with the chosen field of study.
3. Start a business during college to offset/pay off the debt that you are accumulating (and build WEALTH). This can be a FAMILY effort or through DIGITAL entrepreneurship.
The goal is to scale at least $5K/mo (with your family as support) knowing that this is the most amount of Free Time they will have in their lives. No going out drinking, partying on the weekends, or wasting time playing video games. BUILD YOUR BUSINESS NOW! Find a problem, create an offer, sell a solution, and scale to pay off the education and have a FAST START before graduation.
4. PICK ONE social platform or channel and go all in on sharing your story, journey, and Building the ultimate NETWORKING/COLLABORATING MACHINE. Start on the short-form/long form video platform like YouTube, Instagram. The goal here is to start accumulating followers/subscribers that can be leveraged for business opportunities.
5. The last step is to understand that if you follow the above steps, you will not be accepted by most of your peers, and you will be able count your friends on one hand. Most peers will try to bring you back down to their level. The ability to accept the path that few choose will determine long-term success and the ability to choose whatever you want later in life.
BONUS: If you are in FAMILY partnership, the first 2 houses (including the house you live in during college or trade school) should be bought and subleased to roommates if possible. These will serve as your first 2 rental properties and will give you the ability to save BIG on taxes.
