Is $400k debt worth it if a job isn’t guaranteed⁉️ Hannah shares the story of a mother who refused to pay $90,000 per year for her daughter to attend an Ivy League university — not necessarily because she couldn’t afford it, but because her daughter had no clear direction and was only pursuing college because that’s what was expected of her. It’s a conversation that raises an uncomfortable question: Is college always worth the cost? A degree no longer guarantees employment, yet millions of students continue taking on massive amounts of debt. Student loans are one of the only forms of debt that can’t be erased, making the decision far more significant than many families realize. As an advocate for alternative education, Hannah argues that it’s entirely possible to be highly educated, build valuable skills, and create a successful career without a traditional college degree. Do you agree? Do you think college is the best path to success, or are there better alternatives?
