I'm writing this from the viewpoint of a 17 year old who is unsure what they want to do with their life. 

Every week lately, I hear the same thing from CEOs, founders, and hiring managers: “We don’t care about degrees anymore.”

Even the brightest teens can feel lost.

Where ambition meets action — and agency leads the way.

Yes, there are alternatives to college. 

“Is college worth it?”
It’s one of the most important - and misunderstood - questions a parent or student can ask today.

From the moment our kids enter the school system, they’re placed on a conveyor belt—standardized tests, rigid schedules, prescribed outcomes. The goal? Compliance. The result? A generation trained to wait for instructions instead of seeking opportunity.

In a world where AI can write essays, answer questions, and automate entry-level jobs, what separates the thriving from the struggling isn't knowledge.

Parents love to talk about the value of a college education. Especially top schools.
