Are you $80,000.00 in debt for your college education and can’t make
a decent living? A recent story on the CNN’s Money website really
caught my eye and made me wonder, what has your education done for
you lately? Are you learning the right things in school for today’s
global economy? Or, are you learning an antiquated educational
curriculum that is irrelevant to today’s economy? I surmise that you
are still doing the same old thing and expecting a different result
as it relates to your education, your professional career
objectives, and your personal economy.
MBA’s: A Dime a Dozen?
Case in point, the CNN story entitled, “My Master’s wasn’t Worth It” (http://money.cnn.com/gallery/news/economy/2013/01/24/masters-degree-debt/index.html?iid=HP_LN), highlighted a young man who spent
$120,000 to earn a Master of Business Administration(MBA) and
another Masters Degree only to find that he could not find a job.
This young man stated that people with MBA’s and Master Degrees
are a dime a dozen and that after interviewing with various
companies, he was told that he was either “overqualified” or” high
risk”. The high risk part really surprised me. This means that
because of his high level of education, the company did not want to
hire him because they thought he would leave if he were offered
another job making more money.
So back to my question for you, what has your education done for you
lately? Don’t’ get me wrong, I am not against education. As a matter
of fact, I have advanced degrees in business and in management.
However, I believe that you must have the right education for
today’s economy. In addition, without the right education, you end
up at the whim of the business climate, or the company that you work
for. When things are good, things might be good for you. However,
when things are bad, you are thrown on the heap with all of the of
other advance degree holding folk trying to figure out what happened.
What is the Right Education?
So you are asking, what is the right education? Well, I believe that
the people who learn how to invest in real estate, or how to build
and buy businesses are the ones who will be hiring the MBA’s. After
all, somebody will have to run the day to day operations of the
company while the owners are vacationing in Maui. I also believe
that people who take their passions and turn them into businesses
will be wildly more successful than anyone with an MBA from a top
business school.
