Why you don't need a college degree

in #economy7 years ago

Intro

I will talk about how university is a waste of time and money unless you want to be drowning in debt and work in a job that pay an above average salary. I think it is a good idea for earning money but it can be great for other things. I will list the reason why.

Your time, energy and money could be used elsewhere 

The time, energy and money that you spent in university could be spent making a business. This will turn your yearly income from a job to a monthly income or more. I don't know many billionaires that made that money thanks to their college degree. 

The market is changing 

Traditional jobs are being replaced. We are in a new age where digital skills and entrepreneurship is the skill you need now. You don't need to enter debt to get a job when you could use Udemy which is so cheap compared to university that is is insane. The free market demands freelancers not employees. 

It's not all bad 

Now university is not all bad. Don't go for the degree as that is a waste of time that could go into a business. Instead go for the experience and start a business there. Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook at his university and a lot of people like to go to party. Take advantage of that. 

Conclusion 

In conclusion,  university is a waste of time if you want to earn a lot of money but can be beneficent. I think the money can be spent elsewhere but you do get to meet some cool people. It is a good idea to focus more on the business aspect as that will give you the most ROI.
