Getting Started - Part 3

Level 1 - Baby Steps

Welcome back! Previously, we discussed 1) the importance of identifying your talents and 2) how to translate those talents into career options.

If you missed them you can find them below:

In this post, we will cover the process of identifying the correct colleges based on your individual needs.

1. Confirm that you need college

Not every single person needs to go to college.

Read that as often as you need to.

Know your talents and understand what those options are. For example, if you have a talent with fixing things and are interested in being a mechanic, you do not need need a college degree.

In the current environment, people tend to fall into extremes:

1. The “College is a Scam, avoid it at all cost” crowd

2. The “Everyone should go to college” crowd

Both are incorrect.

If your talents and career options aren’t in line with college, that’s okay. Don’t go to college just to go.

But if you need a degree for whatever outcome you are looking for, stop avoiding it and acknowledge that you need to go to school.
