There are a lot of students that ask themselves, is college right for me? In this episode we will explore what are the implications of education and opportunity costs. Some students and families are concerned about student loans, acquiring scholarships, traditional methods of education and career in-roads. It’s important to know there are a lot of other ways to get into your career of choice and to create multiple streams of income using your innate talents and self-learned concepts. Some of these alternate paths include cryptocurrency and NFTs. Of course, there are many advantages to being a college graduate, including gaining deeper knowledge and network building. As homeschoolers, we are well versed in taking less traditional routes. We’re exploring ways we can raise our young people to be successful, however they define it, self-sufficient and self-aware adults through both conventional and unconventional methods.
