0:00.0 | Do you think college is worth it for aspiring entrepreneurs? |
0:03.0 | I went to college. I went to law school. I had a mom who was a second grade teacher who |
0:08.8 | worked two jobs and the fetus wasn't fully developed until after graduate school. In fact, |
0:13.3 | you made me take the bar even though I didn't want to be a lawyer. The way that I feel about |
0:18.8 | college is that the traditional college education will be changing. It always has, but now changing |
0:25.5 | rapidly because more online courses, micro courses, more access to YouTube as a content provider. |
0:34.2 | There's so much content out there. My feeling though about college is if you can afford to go, |
0:42.1 | meaning if your parents are paying for it, you get a scholarship to go or it's just really cheap |
0:47.6 | to go inexpensive, why not? If you're not going to invest in yourself, what are you ever going to |
0:53.2 | invest in? The social aspect of college is extraordinary. The unique ability to have that much |
1:00.8 | fun and surround yourself with people to share and learn in that atmosphere is an extraordinary |
1:06.1 | opportunity that 0.1% of the people on earth get to experience college. If you can afford it, |
1:12.5 | I would not suggest anyone going to deep, deep debt to go to college is not worth it, |
1:19.2 | but if you can facilitate an affordable way to get educated and enjoy yourself, I'll literally |
1:25.2 | send my kids, you know, I'm blessed because I got scholarships to college or I couldn't go on |
1:29.9 | and I'm blessed because I can afford to send my kids to college and I don't care what they learn |
1:34.4 | because I just want them to have the experience, the social experience, the sharing experience, |
1:39.8 | the cultural experience, they can learn way more just online. So if your objective is just to learn |
1:45.8 | about a subject, go online, find a mentor way better, but college as it experience is one, |
1:52.7 | if you don't have to go into major debt, do it. |
