Do you really need a college education?

by mattmatt7 on May 14, 2010

College Diploma copy Do you really need a college education? college blog

So, you’re whole life you’ve probably had this drilled into your head:

“Go to college so you can make a lot of money.”

Well, even though I’m the owner of a college review website (RealCollegeTour.com), I’ll be the first to agree with a recent story hot off the AP wire:

Many economists and academics say more Americans should consider technical training or two-year schools, which have been embraced in Europe for decades.

I consider my liberal arts education at Northwestern University to have been a waste of money. Other than learning “about life,” the $200,000 education didn’t teach me a single job skill.

But as long as you choose a “real major” like engineering, business, or even film, then you can use your education to make some money after you graduate. Otherwise, you might be S.O.L.

My recommendation is to start your own business and focus on creating several rental streams. FYI, if you work FOR someone after college, then you’ll have a hard time making the big bucks…

That said, most people have great college experiences that they consider to be the best times of their lives. People even try to re-live their college days when they’re in their 40s and 50s by attending tailgates and watching every college football game of the season.

Every college is different, and your experience will vary by location. Think about what you want out of life and let us help you with your college decision. It’s a decision that will affect you for the rest of your life.
