Education is a matter that is not to be played with .In fact the matter is so serious that parents put aside a life time of savings to give their loved ones a chance of getting the best education possible .
This is just the first aspect of it that I am touching on at this point ,we haven’t even begun to get into the cost of student loans , building good credit scores etc..
If you are reading this having been in high-school like me then you know the routine by now but if you don’t I will get you up to speed.
High Schools start preparing the pupils for college early .I mean Before they enter their senior year they would have been exposed to multiple colleges .
I am going to drill down into this subject so that you can get more enlightenment so stay with me.
I am going to share a list of items that you as the trainee should consider before embarking upon your journey.
- Your career path
The institution that you choose is important yes but you must also pursue subjects that you know and like.
- Go get your training
Know your mission ,stay focused , do not get side tracked.There are enough ghost stories flying around about students up to this day.
I felt compelled to share those 2 points with you to show you that I care .
This is going to get more interesting now because I am going to talk more about student loans, credit scores.
Before I get to my next point allow me to make a quick point or two.
-
Education
There is no facts indicating that learning a specific way guarantees success.
You can learn in the library
you can take seminars
You can listen to Audio books
Each one of us processes information in different ways at different speeds.
Now lets look at the levels of degrees on hand:
- Doctorate
- Bachelors
- associates
- Masters
The doctorate is the highest that one can achieve .
The masters ,bachelors , associates can be obtained anywhere from 2 -8 years.
Now lets dive into the next phase of this conversation .
I know that you are rubbing anxiously awaiting this part of the conversation.
So now without further due let us address the elephant in the room.
One of them is credit scores and loans.
I did a study earlier on www.magnifymoney.com which revealed some interesting things .
1.8 million students make up the u.s class of 2017
out1000 students 48 %regret not being careful about dept 40 % missing debt payments /not building up good credit scores
61% left school with student loan debt
59 % of graduates have credit card debt
2in 1 will need more than 10 years to pay off their debt.
These are real life experiences ,so why aren’t the lodges implementing the basic fundamentals of financial literacy in their curriculums ?
All I can hear is crickets at the moment.
As you can see these mistakes can be very costly if you fail to put checks and balances in place to help minimize debt and maximize credit scores.
Pay more attention .
College isn’t for everyone
We live in a fast paced society ,trends come and go and what we learn today might not benefit us tomorrow.
What are your goals in life .Are they to live up to the expectations of friends,family ,the system ?
Are you focused and driven to do what you love ? So at the end of it all you have to make a decision to appease ,please or pursue your dreams.
I have close family members that have papers but we never clash with one another.
My point here is that we can run around boasting belittling one another yet we are wise enough to respect each others resume.
On the flip side ,I can use my knowledge to motivate others around me or walk around as if I am perfect.
We are all equal ,so therefore you are not less of a person because you do not have a degree and vice versa.
Furthermore life doesn’t discriminate ,challenges do not choose you based on your level of achievement.
No, we need not to chastise or feel inferior either .In order to get balance we must be willing to humble ourselves and learn.
Yes there are folks across the board that feel as if they have arrived because of qualifications and a suit and tie.
This is the truth ,so those of you that take offence I truly understand .We can have a private conversation if your heart so desires and iron things out.
I want you to tune in and answer me this question.
How is it that you can have a degree but do not understand the basic fundamentals of arithmatic
You as the individual must have a mindset to achieve no matter where you go to get your education other-wise you will fail.
Before you finish reading this post I do hope that you feel motivated knowing that you can achieve the highest of awards regardless of your race ,creed, size,gender.
I am here to empower people across the globe hence why I so easily decided to share my knowledge on this subject.
On to my next point.
Be a learner of life’s lessons
If you are anything like me then you are constantly evolving as a person .
Life’s lessons go beyond the boardroom.
So either which way you decide to look at it we are all apprentices in this life .
In conclusion
Do not let anyone define
- what
- where
- how you should go abouteducating your self.
You are in control of your ship but take heed ,listen and be wise.
Give me your feedback on this post each and every way that you can .
