Dave Ramsey is a better career counselor than most high school/university counselors

[Case_Slay]

You can tell she listens to Dave. "Rice and beans, beans and rice, I'm not a doctor or a lawyer, I have a shovel problem"

[mph]

Your an "academic financial specialist" at a university? Hopefully you are teaching 18 year olds not to get 200k in the hole in student loans.

Before I started college I told a woman that I wanted to major in Music. She looked me dead in the eyes and said "that's a worthless degree." Back then I was offended because music was my passion. But, knowing what I know now she warned me. I wouldn't recommend going to school for a liberal arts degree. It sad how High schools mentors are not warning students about debt and degrees.

[ChrisInvests]

There are so many people working in fields unrelated to their degree...the problem with 17 and 18 year olds deciding what they want to do for 40 years 🤷‍♂️👎

[ChrisInvests]

You can tell she listens to Dave when she said she's not a doctor or a lawyer 😂😂

[RealLifeMoney]

At least she’s aware of the situation and willing to move in the right direction starting now. That’s the most important part 😄

[DanTheMentor]

I have a feeling this young lady is about to make a MAJOR comeback... Keep at it, stay optimistic and grind it out every day Heidi. 👍🏽

[michelhanson]

After college, our expectations be getting smashed by reality HARD!
My sincerest condolences. We all went through it.

[derickrobinson]

Please folks, further your education but don't go into debt for it...

I needed to hear this today. I got a business degree only to discover I want to turn my channel into tours, shows, etc. You may get distracted but the key is to keep moving.

[aeromedical]

My friends:

1. Make about $130K between them
2. Just bought a home that cost over $350K
3. Are currently financing about $80K in vehicles
4. Credit card debt — who knows
5. Student loan debt over $60k
6. Go on expensive vacations at least 3 to 4 times a year
7. Contribute very little to their 401k
8. Swear by cash back credit cards
9. Try to convince me they are winning and give me financial advice all the time.

Meanwhile, I’m debt free and have a net worth of over $500K. I’ll go with my plan.

I love the calls where the caller actually wants his advice and will take it to heart and apply it. She’s smart. She knows exactly what her problem is. She just needed an outside voice to point in the right direction.

When I first got out of school with that 4 year degree I thought I was so smart and knew everything. I didn't know squat about anything useful. All valuable learning was on the job. That degree just got me in the door. Nothing else. And this was a business degree. If employers weren't so stuck on a degree, they could find a lot of great people, and the employees could start out at 18 years old and learn real skills instead of wasting 4+ years of their lives. Yeah, medical/law/engineering needs schooling. But most jobs? Nah. It's work experience that counts.

[crazeekids]

My daughter is in her first year of college getting a business degree. She picked the school that gave her the best deal. ZERO loans. I keep telling her that when she graduates, she will already be ahead of most people her she because she will have no student loan debt.

It's hard to decide what you want to do at a young age, With little to no exposure to the real world it becomes harder to decide where your heart lies.

“I’ve always been business mind”

** takes out 200, 000 In debt**

[yamamancha]

"academic financial specialist" = helping kids ruin their futures by helping them take on debt to pay for the "college experience"

[QAX]

She spent 200k to get a degree to help other students spend 200k to get a degree😳🤦🏾‍♂️

[psharpe]

Her: "I want to help people get where they need to go."

Also her: "I don't know where to go."
