My daughter took a part time office job at a bank. She is now a VP and makes 6 figures.

She finished college while working and jumped at every opportunity for further education.

There are five problems here.

One, we’ve gotten some myth that twelve years of high school is right. The odds are....at least half the kids could be wrapped up and in some trade school by age 16.

Two, the vast majority of kids ought to be in a trade school or community college. Across the nation....at best....only seven kids out of a hundred ought to be in a four-year university program.

Three, the colleges will generally admit that thirty percent of all freshman will wrap up a year and never come back. They were not prepared or wanting such a program.

Four, we’ve got degree programs that are worthless.

Five, the minute you borrow more than $40k for college.....you are in dangerous territory for economic failure in life.

It’s a mess that is waiting for a bubble-collapse, if you ask me.
