Is College a Scam? You Be the Judge

While scam may be a harsh term for the issue. There are definitely some issues that should be examined. College is a benefit to the graduate who has the right mindset about college. A person attending with old school mindset is likely to simply create debt with insufficient return.

College experience and knowledge can be maximized with creative thinking, strategic planning and financial literacy prior to selecting a school and during attendance. Problem....how many kids are at that level of thinking by the time they are seniors in school? Which is when the decision making for college is usually made.


However, you could also get alternative learning and make your mark in life with success and meaning contributions without creating so much debt from traditional education.

People seem to dismiss the potential of alternative education like community college and private training and even internet course. Not to mention business specialty training and training online. For instance I use this affiliate to make money while driving a truck. Well a college student could be doing the same thing.

I didn't go to college but if I did, it would only enhance my writing, and the information that I could draw from. www.sbiyesican.com (yes it is an affiliate link. I use it to make moneyonline)The truth is that there are other options. Explore all options, not just assume that a tradition 4 year school is the only route to success.

BUT be for real. A lot of what is stated is relay situations that just does not have to exist.

YOU DON't have to go to the most expensive schools.
YOU DON'T have to start creating other high expenses know you have those student loads to pay and then complain about how much of your pay is going to the repayment and you have other obligations. Don't make those obligations if you know you have to pay that loan.
YOU DON'T have to blow your student load money on other stuff that it is not supposed to be spent on.

So take what you will from this entry. Most of all. Think for yourself and do what makes sense for you, not what everyone else does.

It's obvious from this video that there should be college reform. Meanwhile though, use your head and don't get caught up in the hype. Do what is best for you.

What's your opinion?

Bad Things Are Going To Happen To You

Sorry, this is life 101. Best face the facts now so that you can prepare. The most positive and proactive person will continue to face challenges and even life being what most would consider as being unfair. So the question is how will you react when these things happen.


You can't afford to let life push and pull you around. The reason that you do want to think positive is so that you can mentally prepare for the challenges in life. You want to be proactive so that you make better decisions which will help you to avoid some issues and be best positioned to endure and overcome others. Challenges are what makes us grow. Without them we become weak and complacent.

View the challenges and obstacles in your life as opportunities to learn and expand your mind. Shine on my friend and live not in fear. Live in the excitement of progress.

Recovery 2011. We are at a crossroads in the way that we think and live. We have issues that needs to be addressed. Yes, you, I and them!

And we can't control them so our focus first must be on us, no, we, no, I.

There's where our minds are today anyway. I. I. I. I. Me. ME. Me So let's go.....

Truth is, the longer we keep point to someone else for where we find ourselves, the longer we will be where we are. Well there is no need for a bunch of words here, listen to the video.



We can't sit back and wait for others to pave double lane highway back to happiness and prosperity. There is no magic wand that will turn back time. It's time to figure out what we need to do in our own lives in order to make it by now, (which may mean get assistance, no problem with that) and to position ourselves down the road so that we are able to fit into the new reality. Many of the jobs that were around before the recession will not return and shouldn't return as far as that goes.

Each of us MUST assess our skill set and look at the big picture of the economy to determine if we are prepared for the future.

For instance, any smart employer who is able to automate should automate during the downturn while his business was disrupted, that might mean you will not have a job.
Sorry, that's just how things evolve. So if this is the case you can't sit around waiting for that job or similar jobs to be available.

The trend is green. Get trained. Healthcare related opportunities will be available do research and get trained. Network Security, Database Management, etc. find our what jobs will be in demand based on the direction of the economy and the nation and prepared now.

I know, it's tough words. Just like torpedoes of truth.
