I went to college on the GI bill.

But I have encouraged loved ones to consider this path. For multiple reasons.

I’m the poster child for someone who had a successful college experience. But I’ve seen many family members not be able to navigate the education industrial complex without getting burned and buried. A lot more thought needs to go into “what I want to be when I grow up” this chart is a good start. There are some degrees from some schools that will make up the difference over time and come out ahead. But it’s good to see the college path start at negative upon graduation. And ask the question “why?”. And what risk am I taking for what benefit.
