Alternatives To Going To College. Avoid Student Debt | FinCalC

It's not necessary to go to college to get a job and make for a living. It is just a trend, not a necessity.

We go to best colleges around the world in order to get the best jobs. But what we don't realize is we will be working for someone else in the end. Though working for someone else isn't that bad, but you will be working on someone else's orders and routine, not on your own. Ultimately, you work in order to make for a living. It can be done without a College Degree as well.

There are many people around the world who leave their college in the middle or don't go to college at all. They are still doing well to make for a living. What are the alternatives? Let's see.

1. Starting a Business

This is one of the best alternatives if you don't want to follow the trend and go to College. Start a Business.
