Read and learn...and if you're still relatively young, go to school. Unfortunately, a certain demographic in our country has decided college is a waste of time which is a really dangerous place to be as a nation. http://www.aplu.org/projects-and-initiatives/college-costs-tuition-and-financial-aid/publicuvalues/employment-earnings.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a handful of advanced degrees and professional licenses. They’re finally starting to bear some fruit from a financial rewards standpoint. But I know a ton of folks who are way more financially successful yet they avoided the academic debt factories. Unless a person is going to school with a professional focus in mind that that degree makes them immediately professionally eligible to do (perhaps after licensure like: engineer, accountant) I think the practical advantageousness of the college degree is a farce. I can get as much edification and intellectual stimulation from a public library for the cost of a quiet afternoon and a library card. I can socialize about something erudite in a reading circle or philosophy group that’s free and meets at any number of groovy places a few nights a week. Just my opinion ...

If you were to eliminate college as a choice, an earning gap would still exist with the same demographics. I remember that one of the speakers at graduation cited a statistic that 50% will NEVER use their degrees. His message was that colleges usher children into the real world by teaching them how to think, instead.- (which used to be a parent's job, but we've destroyed that by compelling two income households). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of the interviews and background checks that some dog breeders will put you through before you are allowed to buy one of their puppies. It’s harder to get approval for raising a dog than it is to raise a kid. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

College used to be a place to gain general knowledge, and to demonstrate your aptitude and motivation, and to prove to a prospective employer that you are a good risk. That model died decades ago. Now college is almost the same as a trade school. Employers want you to hit the ground running. Sadly, the communication and psychology majors of the world haven’t figured this out yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems everywhere communication is an issue these days My son graduated with degrees in finance and accounting, plus a Masters in accounting. When he joined one of the big accounting firms they gathered all the first year people together and told them “Don’t worry, we are aware that you don’t know anything.” (But without the degree you don’t get in the door.) College is certainly not for everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) I was at a luncheon a while back and the speaker was from the economic development commission. He said they could bring more businesses to the area but we don’t have the workers they needed. We have plenty of college educated people looking for jobs, but what they need are welders and electricians, etc. You can have a very nice life doing honest work.
