A way too look at education

If you look at our generation today you might find that most kids out of high school choose to go to college. Obama has said he wants to further increase the number of college graduates and thats a fantastic thing to some and a curse to others.

Many think that by getting a college degree that the world will be their oyster and give them all the riches that they rightfully deserve but some our not so sure. The Uncollege blog that is rapidly expanding teaches a radical idea of the recent age of challenging the societal notion that by going to college gets you into a great job and teaches you what you need to know. Dale J. Stephens, who runs the site, preaches that college costs too much
and teaches too little.

" We simply challenge the notion that college is the only path to success."

This is what most people don't want to hear but its troubling too see so many students reach the final years of college, graduate, and not have the slightest clue of how the real world works. With the U.S sitting on a massive college loan bubble and exceeding credit debt, it seems like the time is just ticking for the worst to happen.

The average college students graduate with somewhere around 27 thousand dollars in debt. Such an astonishing amount for someone who gets a job only making very sub par to that. 


If I have to say anything to the people who are interested in going to be an entrepreneur in the next few years, then go about and experience life and figure out what exactly you want to do. It's a terrible thought to think there are so little doors in life to choose from. I know it's a terrifying experience to think and have to figure out a plan for the rest of your life, though if you want something bad enough the only way to get it, is to start right now.

Every day realize that each day brings you a new chance of expanding your knowledge of the world and knowing what you want to specialize in life.

A passion is needed.
A fire.

Go out and get what you want.
