The Opportunity Cost of Going To College with Jordan Paris

41 minutes

For college we calculate the cost of college, but we rarely look at the lost opportunity of time.

In today's Better Wealth episode, I had the privilege of interviewing a good friend and fellow entrepreneur Jordan Paris. Jordan Paris is a 22-year-old author, podcast host, and entrepreneur featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Men’s Health, Yahoo! Finance, and Market Watch. Listen as Jordan gives us a sneak peek of his upcoming TedTalk on Education. Jordan and I reflect on our own experiences in college. Jordan discusses with us the importance of understanding your why before considering college, the opportunity cost monetarily with college and some alternative mindsets about getting an education. We also discuss why it is important not only to calculate the cost of college, but also look at the lost opportunity of time. Jordan challenges listeners to “truly evaluate what ways you can invest in yourself to grow a company or career that doesn’t involve college. Listen as Jordan also shares his experience as a young entrepreneur in networking and growing his own successful businesses.
