70% Chance Your Education Will Fail You, But it's Not Your Fault

Why? Well, an education that force-feeds you knowledge with little concern for your abilities, talents, and gifts is bound to fail.

Two, rarely if ever is an explanation given as to why you're taking the "required" courses nor is a detailed explanation given of the "alleged" match between knowledge acquired and its use in your given career. That's why so many grads say that "Most of what I've learned is on the job."

Three, the 6 regional accrediting institutions have no clue as to what the affect of your education is, for they never survey, inquire, or ask how satisfied you are with your college degree nor do they ask how great of a match there is between it and what you expected or what you are actually using in your career and life. Keep in mind that these agencies are non-profit organizations and that none are government agencies or for-profit.

Unfortunately, "for profit" agencies would be your best bet, for they then would have to cater to the customer making absolutely sure that what they are doing is best for the customer to ensure after-purchase customer satisfaction. Agencies that are non-profit often simply do as they see fit with little concern for the customer. For example, consider the difference between the service the DMV or US Post Office gives compared to any for-profit company and its service and focus on customer satisfaction. For profits say "The customer is always right." Non-profits say "Listen customer, I know what's right for you."

Four, few if any educators at the school or college level work with you enough to determine talents, abilities, mind-set, goals, and desires and match them appropriately with an education in the first place. And few will tell you of the difficulties, failures, changes, challenges, and trials that are sure to come that will knock you off your path if you don't have solid skills and attitudes and understandings in place to stay on track to achieve the goals that you not only desire but critically need to not only maximize your potential but to find true joy and purpose in life. It's not simple and it's certainly not easy.

Five, you may acquire knowledge but are left with little in the way of critical skills and attitudes needed to succeed at any level. What do you know of self-control? how to benefit from failure? the necessity to do more than you're asked? accountability? how to work well with others, especially those not interested in your welfare, and so much more.

Another reason most don't achieve their goals, or 70% get off track from their original goals, is that they don't know of the work needed to stay on track nor are they aware of the myriad ways in which others will attempt to derail them. But heaven help you if you do, for you either stick to your reason for being or do otherwise and shortchange yourself and the short time you have here on earth. Not a wise choice in regards to self-actualization and the satisfaction and joy we all have a right to. All are called to greatness, but few take the time and make the effort needed to obtain it.

Bottom line, your education is lacking the 80% that is required but rarely acquired in school or college, and it's the main reason that within 5 to 10 years 70% of grads no longer work in a field related to their major. Don't believe me? Just ask around. You'll see many who have wasted years and left thousands on the table in lost salary due to no fault of their own but that of an inadequate education system, a system that is not a primary concern for the government, even though lip service is paid to it. But if education is so important, why is it one of the first things to be cut when a budget crises occurs? Just as you're seeing now.

Don't want to waste your time and money? Contact me for the dire help you need. Cost is not a concern here. Regardless of your situation an affordable payment plan will be arranged. But the few hundred you spend now will save you years of lost time and thousands of lost dollars. But then again, it's up to you. Your choice. May you make one that has your best interest in mind.
