With that 4 year study endurance test out of the way, a piece of paper that states we have a BS, BA or some other two letter insignia, and the debt racked up with paying for that piece of paper, do we really know what college costs us?

I think the time is well overdue that we get caught up in a little “analysis paralysis” when it comes to this old school paradigm of parents telling their kids, you MUST go to college to be able to get a good JOB (Just Over Broke). This mentality has proven to not serve our young leaders to date as they are just not prepared mentally or financially in our college curriculums for the “real world” and its challenges. With the whole college experience costing well over 25-30,000 and much more for private schools, it is high time we start to analyze what we are shelling out, how are these kids really benefiting and most importantly the cost of Freedom we might instilling in them by sending them into the JOB(Just Over Broke) market when all the wealth is now being created in Free Enterprise Networks on the internet.

Because we are parents and we have been brainwashed by old paradigms and methodologies we do not think twice about sending our kids to college no matter what it costs as we have this belief that they must have a degree in something to prosper and survive. While it’s never a bad thing to continue your education well beyond high school graduation, hanging on to old methods of learning and launching into adulthood might be dangerous in the long run. As an example, let’s assume a college graduate gets a degree in financial services, lands a job as stock broker or planner and enters the job market with sum financial services firm. He is taught from day 1 about asking baby boomers or other people with investments to entrust them with their hard earned money under a completely false and broken financial system.

We have proven time and time again that our financial fiat paper money system is not going to work in our debt based society! But how can we teach this newly graduated, book smart young kid that our financial sector is manipulated and controlled?

It’s important we begin to look to free enterprise and network marketing as a tool to empower our young graduates and entrepreneurs. Statistics show that there are over 70 millio
Google searches every month on people wanting to start their own home business, WHY? Our model of JOB enslavement is broke and it will continue to be a mass of confusion as we have slowly stripped the American Spirit by layoffs, manipulations in our financial sector and overall isolationism amongst the masses. But people are slowly awakening to the fact that real wealth and residual income is created in Free Enterprise by communicating and exchanging value sets amongst free thinkers.

Sending your children off to college is not necessarily a bad thing but we must begin to also empower them with tools being taught on the internet along with their education after high school. When our entire socioeconomic model shifts to Free Enterprise and Network Marketing and all our children have after four years of book learning is a degree and debt, what have we empowered them with?

A smarter decision would be to continue in a smaller, local college or a stint in the military, learn some more social and life skills and guide them in the direction to learn terms they just did not learn in school. Money Management, residual income, Free Enterprise, Network Marketing, Fiat Money, debt management and many more of life’s real encounters.

As we empower them to get a head start on many of their peers just entering into the prototypical JOB (Just Over Broke), they now have a fighting chance to survive and thrive in this internet driven commerce we have catapulted into. We no longer live in a technological age, that is a given. We live in a Mega Information age whereby information transfer is so fast we must be able to leverage our time and resources to gain valuable life assets well beyond that piece of paper we acquire in College. Along that path of growing into an adult in college life, the best lesson we can give our child is to steer them into the direction of Network Marketing, Free Enterprise Business and home based systems. Watching our kids grow into adults with lessons of a debt free lifestyle, managing their own money, leveraging their time and money in internet wealth and never having a boss would be the best return on investment we could make.
