I went to a community college and did a certificate of completion doing game art and programming. I loved it. I only took the classes I wanted to earn the certificate and some extra art classes and I didn't take out any loans and paid it all out of pocket. I met my current boyfriend of 2 years at my college's gaming club. The college experience was worth it for me because I knew right out of highschool I didn't want to go into debt just to get an art degree that's not really needed for me and that's how I stumbled upon the certificates of completion. They're not degrees, take less time, you only take the classes you need for it (no core curriculum) and you still get a piece of paper saying you went to college. I'm now working at an art nonprofit, a painting studio and I have my own business selling my artwork.

I was paid nearly $700 although I didn't put it aside, it lasted me through my freshman year, helped me with car troubles, helped my mom out at home, put gas in my car, got me snacks I wanted. Now that I have debt I've decided that IF I take out another loan I'll immediately put that money aside and get it into an account for my debt. I've saved $400 already on a $150 a week pay (and no, I didn't give up living for saving. I still go out) from a 2 month job. I'm really proud of where God brought me.

I worked in HR for years and I always try and steer young people to civil service after high school. If you get into an entry level civil service position, you may be able to get college paid for by the agency or union. Many civil service employees earn their degrees for free then promote into a new gig by bidding. If you're already in college and needing experience, look into temping. Check with every temp agency in your area and see if they have any positions that would fit you. Apply for all of them. If none of them do, please look into volunteer opportunities. Volunteer experience will count on civil service applications IF the volunteer duties match the civil service position you're applying for. Pro tip: MS Office skills tend to be very prized when looking for temp office positions and entry level civil service clerical positions. In most civil service grading, you get points based on experience and education. I also recommend getting one or more of the MOS certificates. These make you highly hireable. I wish all job hunters success! I'm in a transitional time in my life right now but some day I want to start a nonprofit that assists those looking for stable, permanent, employment that pays a living wage.

Read this book called "Four Lost Cities" and it talked about 4 ancient societies that crumbled. One was Pompei, one was this Thai society that ran on debt. People went into debt, which motivated people to work. But the society guaranteed, GUARANTEED that the debt would not crush them. They made sure everyone had necessities. Housing, CLEAN water, food, etc, no matter their debt. And no one's debt was INHERITED, it was only attached to that one person. So yeah, our model of student debt is WILD since bankruptcy doesn't even get rid of it, and debt can be inherited.

Okay, as a person who did do the original college thing. I can honestly say kids should go, but some need to go to community and work, others need to go completely online and work. Others need to save before they go and parents should pay for their kids and plan ahead to help them get started (within reason). So many jobs say they are hiring people without degrees now and they only mean specific people. People with a military background, people with experience, people “who know a guy”. College is still very valid, but no one should go into debt for more than the actual career pays, no one should take out more than the degree costs trying to flex, and everyone should research the careers trajectory before committing to the degree. Some people may go the military which is good, work a regular job and go online, but the gatekeepers of companies have degrees. Love the vid!

This field is not easy to get into, just like many other fields in tech, without connections. Demand is high but NOT for entry level positions; it's so hard to just get in I feel for you. It's a lucrative field and if you can get in, secure. I'm absolutely not telling you to give up, but just be careful! 12k is a LOT for a bootcamp when there are many free online courses that teach the same thing. Where a bootcamp would help is those industry connections so you wanna vet that they WILL help you with that. Good luck!!!

I am speculating so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I am currently working my first entry level job out of college and can see avenues towards the cybersecurity field with enough time and effort put into networking. I majored in accounting and information systems at my state university and got hired by an accounting firm to do IT audit consulting. Not gonna lie, the expectations and stress have been grueling but it pays 80k for entry level and my team is full of great people. I think the stress will be well worth it for the range of career trajectories I can follow. If I were interested in getting into cybersecurity, then I would stay on my current client where we’re working with management to remediate their IT controls and facilitate the annual audits of the company. This project will only last another year or two, but it’s likely a large portion of our team will stay on the same client with different projects that target more IT needs of the company. Some of the managers on my team are expecting to stay on projects with this company until the point the company hires them directly at a director+ role. This is because they will have 5+ years of knowledge in the company’s environment and that is valuable experience. Committing to a career in IT compliance seems like a solid way to learn IT infrastructure and network with IT departments at the various companies you end up working for as a contractor. I’m personally unsure where I’m heading, because the consulting route seems too high-stress for me. This should point me to find a laidback IT career but I’m unsure with the layoffs if that still exists. And I do like business for other aspects, so I am looking into staying in compliance consulting until I’m ready to leave corporate all together.

Best thing I ever Did was get into a Trade! When I was in my senior year I told people I wasn’t going to college and everybody looked at me like I was crazy 🤣 I graduated at 18, got into the electrical trade at 21, bought a house at 22, I live below my means and I haven’t even reached my highest earning potential yet. I hate that there’s this push for 17/18 year olds to go to college when you really don’t even know what you want to do that at that age yet. You need time to figure life out not just jump into the next life long commitment

Some forms of education are actually worth it. A 2-year nursing or physical therapist assistant degree is worth the cost. These two degrees can cost under 50k and Artificial cannot replace these two positions. Some trades are worth the cost.... plumbing, electrician, construction ect... College is a business and you must be strategic about your major. You usually need a doctorate for degrees in social science to gross six figures. Do your own thorough research about the ROI

Pro Tip: college degrees are not created equal. Paying $100,000 for a communications degree is not the same as paying $100,000 for a software engineering degree. I am not knocking any degree, but the amount of money you should pay for a degree should scale with the average income coming out of college. Its ok to pay $100,000 for a degree if the average income coming out is close to that number. The issue is, people are paying these student loans when they have nearly 0 chance of having an income even close to the amount they owe. Which means they will be burden by the this for a very long time.

I own a home that I rented out once I moved as well. But what I hate about the college landscape now is how prevalent cheating and lack of integrity is. Nobody genuinely cares about getting their moneys worth and actually learning/applying the concepts. They just use chatGPT or AI or BS everything and then complain about their letter grades. Then wonder why when they graduate, they still can hardly critically think or write well or speak well. You have to use college as a means to getting out of your comfort zone and actually pushing yourself. Nowadays no one wants to do the work but they will cry and whine about their instructor not giving them an A despite them not even deserving it. Also too many kids are choosing schools just so they can go and party somewhere or be laid up with someone’s son when that someone’s son is not gonna pay that damn tuition 😂

This is why I always advocate for people to get certifications over going to university until you 100% know you need a degree for the path you want. I also tell people who are looking to figure out their major is that if you can’t finish one book about a particular profession then you shouldn’t major in it. The more books you can read & remember about a topic the more likely you should major in it. My last tip for people who are considering college is to pay as much as you can in cash & make a loan your final option. People I see with 50k+ in debt are people who “focused on school” and did not work. So their loans also paid for their rent, car, food etc. Or they went to a private school with limited scholarship options. Look at the full financial picture before you commit.

For anyone looking into getting an associates or bachelors, check if your state has a Community College Opportunity Grant. If you make less than $65k a year, you qualify for a fully funded education via community college (less than $100k still qualifies, but for a percentage). And there's a grant for the following 2 years of a bachelors. It's a great option for those who can't afford a loan. I know California and NJ have it, other states might too.

Loan was soul crushingly high when I left but I've been paying over the minimum and being relatively frugal has so it's down way ahead of schedule and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's not fun making a lot of money and being unable to live/save like I do because of the debt. I always tell people not to go if they can work a trade as you're going to be a lot further along a lot faster than myself, but as a backend engineer getting to play video games during meetings and how chill the job is does make the ends justify the means to me. I can't imagine the stress people making under 100 feel trying to live and pay off their loans.

You must work at least 20 hours a week to maintain it, which isn't too bad. These programs are great, but you'll want to make sure you figure out which schools and degrees are covered and how much. Universal Studios, where my hubby works, has a program but they don't cover everything even though it is pitched that way. Disney World will not let you know what colleges or degrees they cover until after hired, which I felt was kinda sketch but they're actually really good to work compared to others in Florida.

Great topic today! I have a very unfavorable opinion and that would be that most college even community colleges might be a waste of time.. It really depends on the field you want to work in, which most of us really don't know when we're that young! Four of my siblings older and younger who went to college can only get a job working at Walmart or an Amazon Warehouse... I dropped out of high school when I was about 16, I make more than most of my family in a year and I'm 27 now. The only exception might be my grandpa who also dropped out of high-school believe it or not. (I didn't know that until a little later in life) Thats not the point though and I'm not advocating for anyone to drop out of school I'm just trying to say that "the path" most people try to tell you to take isn't always the best for you. Before anyone here wants to throw shade or something, my dad knew how bored I was in school and we had an agreement where if i made straight A's for so long I could drop out. I was also in all AP classes. To sum everything up I just don't think you need to put yourself through that much stress especially if your income after it's all said and done isn't going to even come close to what you had to pay to go and what it will take to live.

I went to college. I was low income paying the different FAFSA couldn't cover by working the whole time. Because of this, only affording part-time, it took 10 years total for my multiple degrees. Degrees that at the time I entered college were required to get my dream job. During the pandemic, I graduated. But the pandemic changed my industry and so many people left it that they stopped requiring the degree and cut the salaries. So, now I have debt and a degree. But, to work in my industry would mean getting paid $30k a year and having to be required to live in NYC. So, I work as an editor in law for a legal service provider instead at make over 10k more than that and get to work remote. The level of anger I felt for my industry to remove degree requirements and slash the salaries from 60k to 30k the year I graduated cannot be understated. Edit: When I say my industry, I mean book publishing. Not the industry I now work in, law pays pretty well.

If your parents did not set you up to succeed to even go to college, then you should not go to college (unless it is a major that would pay well). Even better, why is it that people hate community college? You can transfer after you graduate and it is much cheaper. The problem is that parents will push the American dream but don't even set their their children to start with that dream. It is the same with credit cards, mortgages, medical bills, personal loans, etc. If people knew how to not overspend as well as understand you don’t need to go to college for an arts degree, then we wouldn't be that much in debt.

My family is in poverty and I was going to go into computer science cause it had a lot of well paying job, but I couldn't afford college at all so I can't get into the jobs I wanted cause I can't afford college but dispite my family knowing very well how much college cost dispite us having no money just so I stay In loads of debt cause they wanted money from me
