It's really this simple. There is a direct correlation between education and success. Everyone else seems to understand this. College grads earn double that of non college grads over a lifetime. There are things you can control and there are things you cant. One thing you can control is getting as educated as possible to maximize your earning potential.
Successful doesn't mean privileged or super wealthy. Folks need to stop worrying about being a ceo and puff daddy and start worrying about the basics. Let's start with being able to raise your family in a decent neighborhood, debts paid off, good health, and making enough to enjoy life while still saving money for retirement. Folks cant even do that but are worried about trying to start a business or be a boss or how priveleged Timmy is doing. As a collective our priorities are screwed up.
It doesnt take private school to get into a state or community college.
And it doesnt take an Ivy league school to get an engineering degree, law degree, phd etc. You can get those from state schools.
And with those degrees you can still earn over 6 figures a year and be successful in your own right.
Literally anybody can do this if they decide to apply themselves. There is more access to education in America than almost anywhere else in the world. We got HBCU's that are begging for more black kids to apply. Just ask any HBCU recruiter and they will tell you. The door is wide open.
