I Paid Off $194k in Student Loans in Six Years. It Wasn’t Easy
The cost of higher education has been increasing at 3-4x inflation for decades.<p>It has finally nullified any socio-economic advantage it once held as evidenced by the large number of graduates unable to repay their student loans.<p>The solution --- stop steering your kids toward college.  AI is working toward eliminating many of these &quot;careers&quot; in the near future anyway.<p>Instead, orient them toward entrepreneurism.  A business as simple as landscaping or construction can be just as financially rewarding as being a corporate desk jockey ... and even more so in some cases.<p>The key element here is to learn the trade but then move up to hiring&#x2F;managing others who do the actual work --- for a  company owned by you.
