Alloy Personal Training Business Is College Worth it?
It's a valid question, and there's no easy answer that applies to everyone. There are many factors to consider when it comes to deciding whether or not to pursue a college education.
On the one hand, there are undeniable benefits to going to college. For one thing, a college degree can significantly increase your earning potential over the course of your career.
College can also provide you with valuable skills and knowledge that you might not be able to gain elsewhere. You can learn about a wide range of subjects and develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills that can be useful in any career.
That being said, college isn't for everyone. It can be very expensive, time-consuming, and stressful. For some people, pursuing a trade school or certification program might better fit their goals and interests.
Others might enter the workforce immediately after high school, gaining hands-on experience and building their skills on the job.
All these are valid paths to success, whichever you take.
The key point here is that if you decide not to go to college, choose to do something equally challenging. Don't just sit around and be useless.
In this episode, Matt and Rick discuss the value proposition of a college education vs. the alternatives to college and what factors should affect the decision.
