Getting Educated, The Reality

Education is something I am very passionate about. It is something that we have been providing for the last 7 years here at Wealthy Affiliate and it something that I have thoroughly been an advocate of...and in many cases opinionated about.
I promote the idea of getting “educated” and “learning”. If you are not learning in my mind, you are not progressing.
The problem is that people tie getting a degree with being educated and that couldn’t be further from the truth. Going to college or university is definitely not your answer to success although these expensive institutions market themselves as this way.

Education can be expensive, time consuming and offer you FEW opportunities!

In fact, in my opinion you will be worse off if you get an education through a college or university because of the expenses associated with going to school and the jobs that are available to people coming out of school. There is also a considerable amount of time it takes to dedicate to school, 4 years in most cases with very little of the knowledge you obtain being applied knowledge.
Education costs have ran the world economies (in particular the USA) into a debt that I am unsure will ever be properly dealt with. You know why? An average education has gone up nearly 500% in the last 10 years, and it is inflating faster than ever each and every year.
If you go to school to get a degree, it will more than likely become nothing more than a piece of paper hanging from your office wall. What you will come out with is a debt that you won't be paying off for 25 YEARS. Think it is time to reconsider?

Let's look at a typical education.

You go to school for 4 years. You spend the next year trying to get a job. You are $80,000 in debt after all of your school expenses and by year 5, the average "student" does not have a JOB. $0 in income.
Say that you do get a job of $50,000, a decent paying entry level job. If you are like most, you can pay back a maximum of about $4,000 per year to your student loans. It will be another 25 years before you are out of debt.
But don't worry, you have your mediocre $50,000 job that will barely pay the bills and will hardly support a family.
Don't forget, conventional education prices only continue to go up. According to inflationdata.com, since 1985 college tuition prices have gone up an astounding 498.49% will normal consumer inflation (food/gas/clothing) during the same period was only 114%.
This is a REALITY folks...there is nothing hypothetical about this and all you have to do is look around you and see the TRILLION dollars people are in debt to the government over their student loans. The bubble is about to pop.
Universities and Colleges continue to increase their prices, their quality of education and instructors continues to go down.
The opportunities coming out of the school with your "manufactured" degree only becomes worse and worse. I could hit you with some more bad statistics, but instead I am going to "show you the light" of what can be accomplished and what can be with very little investment.
