Let’s say you wanted to be incredibly conceited and write a self help manual filled with slogans for males based on pieces of wisdom you’ve picked up, what would your slogans be?
Mine would be:
1. Unless you are extremely knowledgeable about how to make debt work to your advantage, debt will force you to do things you don’t want to do and carve years off your lifespan through stress and over work. Avoid it if you can.
2. College is not worth the debt accrued unless you intend to go into a profession and pay off your debt fast. There are plenty of ways to get an education without going to college formerly. Most of the educational resources that you could ever want are online for free anyway. If what you value is the social aspect, take some classes that you can afford to pay for upfront.
3. If you want some idea of what to study that will add value to whatever it is you end up doing for $$ and make your life easier, some understanding of logic & epistemology, media literacy, personal finance, and basic psychology with an emphasis on Cluster B personality disorders will help you out a lot.
4. The Internet is not your friend. The social media companies are stealing your intellectual capital and conditioning you on behalf of shadowy third parties. Internet companies try to addict you into spending all of your time and attention on mindless activities. You will tend to thrive the more you are offline.
Now I’m out of ideas and I only made it to 4. What would yours be?
