Crazy Finance: Episode 2 - Is College Still Worth It?
Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player
Today on the James Alteger show. If you're a kid listening to this, if you're an 18-year-old, do not go to college. Please do not go to college. College is just a gigantic scam. I think there are certain people that should just not go to college.
What's happened is because the government guarantees the college the payment, there's no reason for the college to charge less for tuition. There's no reason a product should go up faster than inflation every single year unless there's some sort of weird guarantee that there's no risk in it because they couldn't really assess the risk. Like who gives somebody $200 thousand dollars worth of loans at the age of 18 through 22.
I hope trade schools make a comeback because we need those skills very badly this isn't your average business podcast and he's not your average host. This is the James Alteger show Welcome to another episode of Crazy Finance. Might not be crazy to you, but these are my personal feelings about personal finance. I normally don't like that phrase personal finance.
