College debt. There are two words that go together like oil and water. I’ve read some articles, recently, that shared some sad statistics. Check out this little snippet about why students take on debt for college.
“Most U.S. students have an incentive to borrow. Because higher education is typically required for the highest-paying jobs. A worker with a bachelor’s degree earns 1.8 times the amount a person with a high school diploma does. And those with doctorates or professional degrees earn more than double, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
However, analysts caution that the return on investment in terms of future income can vary widely, depending on factors including a student’s major and the institution they attended. Some recent research found that although a college education still provides a boost in earnings, the increase in wealth a degree provides has declined significantly over the past fifty years, due to the rising cost of college and the increase in other forms of consumer debt.”
So, is college debt all it’s cracked up to be?
I’ve mentioned this before, quite a few times. But I just don’t believe college is even necessary for many, if not most, business owner and entrepreneur wannabes.
Of course, if you’re gonna be a doctor or lawyer, those systems will require college and beyond. But for the rest of us, not so much. We’d just like to pursue a vision to serve others with our products and services. So, college debt is absolutely not necessary.
In fact, I truly believe you can take a much more focused approach to your dreams. And I truly believe you can make things pay off much faster when you focus on YOU and your system.
And sadly, college (like high school) doesn’t teach you how to set up a system that focuses on YOU and your skills. So, that’s why I created RondaReady YOUniversity.
