Why I Think College is Probably a Mistake For Many People | Do I Really Need to Go to College?


I remember I started high school in the fall of 1990.  It was a new world for me.  I got to pick my own classes and be around kids a few years older than me.  It felt like I was getting out of the kiddy pool and jumping into the deep end with the sharks (but in a cool way).  

The most important thing to many of us guys was not college back then, admittedly, but instead...girls.  That's right, I said it, and that's the way it was too.  I was finally truly a TEENAGER, high school and all, and I was ready.

Now, even though a circa 1990 "just hitting adolescence at break neck speed" 14 year old boy cared very little about college and cared much more about the playboy magazine that he managed to hustle from his "less than stellar role model" uncle and managed to hide quite stealthily from his mother all summer...he still generally recognized that college was the answer...

What was the question?

Well, whatever the question was...my parents, my teachers, and most of my high school peers generally recognized college as the answer.  So as a result I went through most of high school with the same idea that many kids my age had...I need to get good grades so I can go to college and have an awesome life!!!

...and I think that was about right...back then.

But look...most kids in 1990 didn't have a computer in their house.  If they did they had AOL and dial up modems.  Youtube did not exist.  There was no facebook.  This was a time before smart phones and tablets.

Let me get to the point.

Times have changed.

The fact is a hungry kid who is still in high school can be earning more than his parents before he is a senior if he has a mind to do so.  The opportunities online are just staggering.

So back to my story...

What happened to me?  Flash forward to my senior year.  I graduated high school with a 1.3 GPA, a serious attitude problem, and I had decided, like many kids my age who do not do very good at something...that I had enough of school for a while.  

I worked a few low level jobs over the next year but finally decided to join the Navy.

Flash forward an honorable discharge, a failed marriage, a few bands, being a father, and we come to the place where I get fired from the job that I needed to support my family.

..and you know that dream of going to college never left me...even after all that time.  I still saw that as...the answer.   

So I went back to school.

Was it worth it?

No.  

Not if you are like me it's not.  Not if you are going to school to figure out how to make more money and provide for your family it's not.

Now if you want to be a doctor or a lawyer...of course, disregard what I say.  However, if you are planning on going to school because you want to start a business, or be an entrepreneur, or just make more money???

Don't bother.

You can learn more in 2 years studying internet marketing and networking with people who are actually doing it than you will in 2 years at college, you will spend far less money, and get far greater results.

By the time you will have spent two years in college getting an associate's degree in business, fortunes will have already been made by people who started their internet marketing careers instead.

That's my opinion.  I have been on both ends of the spectrum.  I went to college, AND I have learned online from people actually doing it.  College is great but it's a business and it treats you like a customer.  It is too slow to keep up and it teaches you far too many useless things in an effort to fund the college. 
Might as well just jump right into it and start trying to do what you want to do.  You have the world's collective knowledge at your fingertips with the internet. If you combine that with, hunger and ambition, I see no reason to waste your time or your money with college. 


That's just me.  These are just my opinions.  Do whatever you want.

This is Kam, some people call me zerofatz.  That's all I got.  I'll see you in the next one.

PEACE!
