Go to College

Is College Worth It?

• “Yes, according to the [Federal Reserve] average college graduate earns $78,000 per year, compared to $45,000 for those with only a high school diploma, which represents a premium of $33,000.”
• Exceptions, if you drop out, big risk.
• Consider debt, costs, and consider a financial plan.
• If you’re in a technical field yes.
• Make decision right for you. Every situation is unique.

Don’t go to College

• Is University Worth it Anymore? My HONEST advice on the state of Universities in 2020.
• You’re in a technical field you have to go to college to learn the info.
• If not in technical field, consider taking a gap year.

My Thoughts

• Sigh. Okay I think I’m leaning toward the side of… College isn’t for everyone. If it’s a technical field, then yes you need to go to college to learn the content.
• But, if it’s not a technical field, you don’t have to. It may not be as beneficial.

• Everyone’s situation is unique.

Back to School

Dominics - Back to School

• School isn’t for everyone. Yes, elementary, middle, and high school help develop you fundamentally as an adult but after that you should be free to choose what to do. You could learn skills online in the 21st century and from other programs to make a living.

“As long as you have a drive for knowledge and to improve yourself as a person then it doesn’t really matter which direction you go.”

“School is simply a platform where things could take place, but you can’t teach someone that is not willing to learn.”

It’s not cool to claim that you’re incapable of something without trying.

Make friend with those that you are comfortable with not those that are friends under condition (Friends only if providing a certain benefit to them. These are convenient acquaintances that you see on a daily basis.).

• “Even with good friends you have to accept the possibility of drifting apart from them.”
