Freedom to enjoy life

I recently read a post from a fellow WA member. In it, the question about society's skewed view of what is considered success. The post related how society encourages our children to pursue a graduate education by getting into hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. Generally speaking, few college graduates make the six figure income promised to them.

Most college graduates, fail to finish their education while accumulating debts between 50K to 175k. The sad truth is faced when post graduate school they are told that in order to get their license it is required to them to work for two years (post graduate work) for free.

My wife is the person I am speaking about. She went to graduate school and in order to get licensed in she is required to work under a licensed practitioner for 100 weeks 10-20 hours per week of pro-bono work. Her student loans are in excess of $150k which she will never make in a single year of working and perpetuating the "rat race".

I have found that so many of my friends look down and doubt the "online marketing' opportunity. I find myself defending the fact that with half the effort most of us put into our day-time jobs they could be making thousands of dollars within the online marketing careers.

"Yes," I said online marketing career. At WA, we are privileged as this is a community that emphasizes education and learning through helping one another (through sharing our experiences). At the end of each of my training, I have always had the support of not only Kyle, Carson, and the entire WA community.

When my wife and I completed our degrees, we had none of our professors grabbing us by the hand to guide us on where to go. And at the end of the game, we finished our education in debt and working for Corporate America (on average 50-80 hours per week).

Makes one think (???) ....

What would you prefer? Master Degree or PHD ($150+K in debt)
