I went to McNeese State University.
I promise you I’m not where I am today financially because of the formal education I received. Going to college is a path to the middle class -- not to becoming a millionaire or even a billionaire.
I wish I would have gone to Harvard -- for the connections, not for the education. I also wish I would have paid more attention when I was going to college. Unfortunately for me -- and so many others -- I had no direction on why I was there and had no purpose for what I was learning, so I left my university with a piece of paper, debt and no idea about my future and very few skills.
Successful people don’t value effort or time spent on an activity; they value the results.
If college gave you great results, then that’s great. I know many people leave school wondering why they went into massive debt while they are still unable to land a decent job.
The problem is not in education, but the approach. When you approach an education you must think about skills, not just information or knowledge. Only 27 percent of college graduates are even working in the field they studied. One of the reasons you should study is to gain skills. The only things you can use every day to bring more value to the marketplace are your skills.
Skills that result in you having an increased value in the marketplace is the reason I created Cardone University. --------> https://grantcardone.com/cu
Here is what Steem's @Stackin has said about this program:
I can promise you...if you USE it and apply it, it will be better than college for you.
