Do you wanna go to college because it's going to push the envelope for you and open doors, or do you wanna go because it's been conditioned by societal standards? Now more than ever we can accomplish so much without a degree, I'm not here to downplay a formal education but more so to spark thought - real genuine critical thinking. If your goal is to be a teacher, doctor, physical therapist or a division 1 strength coach amongst other professions then you'll need a bachelors or higher. There's no if, and's or but's on that. But have you sat down and thought about what you want to do and if getting a degree actually opens that door for you, or if the position you want requires a degree?If you want to be a small business owner then maybe you don't need that bachelors degree, less than 50% of small business owners have a college degree. If you want to be a player development coach you probably don't need a college degree, think about what you want to do and where you wanna be before going to school and taking out thousands and thousands of dollars of loans and going in debt for the rest of your life. There are other things (IMO) that are more important than a degree:- Traveling- Networking - Experience - Saving & Investing your money in the right things that actually matterI don't want to put down getting a formal education, it's still important and better than not getting one. Some people are the first in their families to do it and that's a massive accomplishment, I just want to spark some thought.
