College is too expensive and BTW a degree is no longer required by some companies.

Imagine if an aspiring athlete pursues a college education solely to satisfy societal expectations, only to encounter an unforeseen injury that derails their athletic dreams. In such a scenario, they may find themselves grappling with the challenge of pivoting their career trajectory without the professional experience they could have gained earlier.

Consider the alternative scenario: a talented individual decides to pursue their passion for sports at a professional level, aligning with their dreams and aspirations. By diving into the professional sphere, they gain invaluable experience, honing their skills and building a foundation for their future endeavors. Later on, when they choose to pursue higher education, they do so with a wealth of real-world experience under their belt, bringing a unique perspective to the classroom.

Reflecting on past examples, would we have advised LeBron James to forgo his basketball career and pursue a traditional college education? His exceptional talent and success speak volumes about the multitude of paths one can take to achieve greatness.

FYI-- I went to an elite college per DCUM standards.


Especially in this area, we're so programmed to join the long line to get on the 9-5 (8-7) hamster wheel to claim societal success.
Even though so many following said route are unhappy and miserable 🤣

You're only young once.

If you had the ability to play professionally but chose the more conservative path and played in college it will eat at you the rest of your life.

Surely you understand that the pay in the NBA and the NWSL are not at all analogous.
