What College Should You Go To? Avoiding the Traps of Higher Education
Are we lying to kids when we tell them they have to go to college to be successful? College is not for everyone and some people would be happier working jobs that don’t require a degree. College choices are often based on marketing that preys on emotions, causing students to pick a campus with a lazy river over the one they can actually afford. But when you pick a college for the wrong reasons and take out student loans to do it, you can be screwed.
Customer Reviews
Well worth your time!
Eye Opening! As parents of a high schooler this has completely changed our approach to applying and attending college. Like it or not, colleges are big businesses that have been funded by our government’s borrowing policies. The absurdity must end!
Dave is disgusting
Dave Ramsey pretends to be a Christian but ignores what the Bible teaches about money. The Bible condemns the wealthy for the way they profit from the poor (he buys million dollar houses off of all you people in debt and people who are struggling because they are poor due to a capitalistic society) and it talks A LOT about forgiveness of debt. Get your financial advice from anyone else. If you look at the way he treats and pays his employees and especially women this will tell you all you need to know.
