The College Option

Contrary to popular conception, don’t go to college just to make money. You can work at many skills, jobs and professions without a college degree.

Should you need a degree for window dressing or social reasons, you can acquire one, part-time, and cheaply, from recognized schools via the internet. And while you are creating your career at a paying job.

Make up a list of job categories or small businesses you would like to be in. You will see how just a few require college expense. Some might need trade school training for a short time.

When academics tell you that college grads earn more, the numbers are often suspect. Comparisons are made with those close to minimum wage, not at skilled, non-college jobs. .(See my Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments on college).
