American Students are piling up HUGE DEBT on their way to an education that may or may not lead to the career field of their choice. Even if they do land the job of their dreams, paying back the debt on that student loan will be crippling.
Perhaps it is time to re-think traditional Education pathways.
Some students are spending the first couple of years in local community colleges reducing greatly the amount of money paid for education. Others are taking advantage of scholarships offered. Some have decided to go the route of a trade school and enter the workforce sooner.
A growing number of parents are starting to think about education differently. Rather than running up a huge debt at a University they are encouraging their children toward Entrepreneurial-sm. Parents teaching their children how to run a business early in life, giving them the opportunity to get an on the job education.
The cost of Education continues to rise and even parents who have saved a lifetime for a college education for their children are beginning to wonder if the Career their child selects will endure a transitioning economy.
Real Estate can be a powerful tool for Education and even to save for an education. A property bought right can be improved and then sold on the open market for a profit. The work involved in improving the property can be a valuable tool for education about work ethic and self reliance. The profit can be used for formal education or to start a new business. Just a thought.
