Was it worth it......? Well, kind of.
If you are wondering what I spent $30,000 dollars on what I'm referring to is my undergraduate degree which is currently sitting framed nicely somewhere in my room collecting dust bunnies. Since I haven't bought any property let alone own my own car this is by far my biggest investment to date. In hindsight, I could have thought of a ton of other ways to spend that money but those ‘things’ would not have benefited me later on in my life.
I originally went into university blind as a bat, no direction what so ever, but I knew I needed something more than high school if I wanted to have a decent career. I was not one of those outliers who knew how to succeed without some sort of guidance so university was where I was headed. After four year, I could honestly say I still did not have a single clue what I wanted to do, but I did learn a great deal about people, life and culture in addition to that I knew it opened doors.
A job wasn’t waiting for me after I received my degree which seems to be the case with a lot of people but the degree did definitely helped when I was applying for job against someone who didn’t have one. I eventually found a job at a local marketing company conducting market research. The job grew on me to say the least because I ended up applying to a post-grad program a year later specializing in International Marketing which helped me land an internship at Skedx.
I’m not saying university or college is for everyone but from my experience it certainly opened few opportunities.
Enjoy,
