Continuing our student loan series, we invite you to ask yourself if college is the right choice for you, especially if you're not sure of what you want to study. We also look at different types of intelligences, fields that don't require a degree, and the importance of finding a mentor in your field of interest.
In this first episode of our student loan series, we dive into how this system is set up against you. We examine some common myths about the value of a college education, how the student loan system works under a skewed version of true capitalism, and how universities are incentivized to sell students a dream.
What we recognize as true right now is this: If you aren’t paying attention, capitalism will eat you alive. For your entire life, people and companies will be trying to sell you anything and everything. They will try to get you locked into a cycle of consumerism where your money comes in, and just as quickly goes out, keeping you trapped on the hamster wheel.
