Beyond College: Building Wealth Through Alternative Paths
Today’s podcast asks if, in your case, it is necessary to attend college. Give that serious consideration before building a six-figure debt in a degree that pays the same as a Starbucks Barista. Alternative paths like trade schools and apprenticeships can lead to lucrative careers.
Before pursuing a degree, critically evaluate the return on investment of a college education and consider individual circumstances and career aspirations. Financial freedom can be achieved through various routes, and so can a more personalized approach to education and career planning.

ABOUT ME
I am a proud nerd (as my beautiful wife and daughter have told me) and an investment and finance blogger with an NC State, Chemical Engineering, University of Rutgers MBA, and Harvard University Advanced Management.
I left a corporate career to make a difference as a speaker and writer. I was blessed to be coached and mentored by strong women and men in my family and professional life. It is my time to serve and give back.
DISCLAIMER
I started my first business at ~13 years of age (a small but brilliantly created plant nursery). I am a successful investor in stocks, options, and real estate and am happy to share my finance and investment lessons. I am NOT a licensed financial advisor. Please do not construe my suggestions on this blog as recommendations for your situation. As an investor, you must establish your risk/loss tolerance. Investment in any asset involves risk, including complete loss.
Please seek your licensed CPA or fiduciary financial advisors for individual financial advice.
I write this weekly blog to make an impact by reaching an audience and demonstrating the need for financial literacy. I will help you achieve that goal.
