Brannon Howse: August 5, 2010
Topic One: Brannon reads seven reasons NOT to send your kids to college by James Altucher of Daily Finance and then shares his own thoughts on this topic that he has kept to himself until now. Topic Two: Colleges and universities are businesses and are largely now a racket and complete rip-off. Numerous studies reveal that college graduates do not necessarily make more money than the individual who does not go to college. Reality is the student who does not go to college but invests his time and resources into a business instead of tuition can make hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars more in their lifetime than a college graduate. In fact, in the bestselling book "The Millionaire Next Door" that came out about 15 years ago, revealed then that the average millionaire in America was in a service oriented business like plumbing, roofing, sanitation, scrap metal etc. Of course the elite want to push you into college so they can brainwash more students and take your money in tuition and get you into debt. Topic Three: Colleges and universities have largely become one third house of ill repute, one third drug den and one third vomitorium. Topic Four: Little real education takes place at most universities as the agenda today is really not to teach facts, reason, and logic but postmodernism, humanism, socialism, and cultural Marxism. Kerby Andreson is correct when he wrote that Geology 101 is really Evolution 101, Philosophy 101 is really Atheism 101, and Sociology 101 is really Relative Situational Ethics 101. Topic Five: So, what should Christian families do if their students do not want to become a doctor or attorney that requires a college education? How can the family be a place to create entrepreneurs? How can families teach their children that work is rewarding and even fun? Topic Six: Why are so many college graduates not using their expensive diplomas? How can an entrepreneur zig and zag in an up and down economy where those stuck on a one career track have little options in a sour economy? Topic Seven: What Biblical virtues and principles make for a successful entrepreneur? Topic Eight: Should parents be considered bad parents if they do not pay for their child's college education? Topic Nine: Should a parent provide the startup capital for their child to start a business? Topic Ten: How is Obama using college as an entitlement so he can collapse the economy through the Cloward-Piven Strategy? Topic Eleven: We take your calls.
