Could you get more education from starting and failing at a business than from going to college? If someone said to you sending an 18 year old to college is like sending an 18 year old to Vietnam, would you agree? That’s James Altucher believes and he’s our guest for episode 300.
Having founded over 20 companies along with creating and publishing 11 books, James Altucher knows a few things about how the world works and he doesn’t see the necessity of college for most people.
Today James and I talk about alternatives to college and why they are important to thriving in today’s economy, how the American Dream has gone through a death and a rebirth, how to choose yourself everyday and how James stopped a $30 million financial fraud…accidentally.
Our conversation on the topic of skipping college and alternatives to higher education may be a controversial one but it’s a discussion worth having. As always, we don’t leave you hanging! We point out alternatives and options if you decide not to go or not to send your kids to college. Check the resources section for a complementary copy of James’ 50 Alternatives To College for even more suggestions.
There’s plenty more James and I talk about, I hope you’ll listen and digest all the great takeaways…and then start applying them to your life for self-mastery.
