Episode #1: Why College is Great - But Also Perilous
Hey, Ric Edelman here, and I'm back with something special: a four-episode podcast series about college. After 32 years on the radio and three years as a Top 1% podcast, I couldn't stay away when I realized how many families are struggling with the biggest decision teenagers face today.
Here's the reality: College graduates earn nearly a million dollars more over their careers and live seven years longer than non-graduates. But here's what's scary: a quarter of freshmen drop out, only 62% graduate in six years, and 42% are still paying student loans 20 years later. No wonder 78% of adults say college isn't worth the cost anymore!
In this first episode, I'm sharing the top 10 mistakes parents make about college - from assuming your teen must go, to not funding their education properly, to giving them unlimited choices without parameters. I've seen these mistakes destroy families financially and emotionally during my decades running the largest independent financial planning firm in the nation.
But here's the good news: when done right, college can set your teen up for an amazing life. I'm going to show you the one goal every college-bound student needs to set - and it's not just "going to college." It's graduating in four years, debt-free, on the Dean's List, with a degree that leads to their dream career.
I even share my personal story of how I went from a 2.1 GPA to straight A's - and the exact study method that got me there. Spoiler alert: it's all about hard work, not being super smart!
This series launches alongside my 14th book, "The Truth About College," coming December 4th. Whether you're a parent, educator, or student, this is your roadmap to making college work - or deciding if it's even the right path.
Ready to help your teen avoid the college trap and find their path to success?
