Should I Go To College Or Real Estate Investing? - YouTube

Alright, alright, alright. I hear you. I'll make a video on college versus real

estate. Dude, I'm kid you not. I have been avoiding

this video for years. But you know what? I'm sick and tired of all you wonderful

young people asking. So you know what? I'm going to share my feelings. Parents may or

may not appreciate is the parental warning. This is rated R for Roar. I don't

know if your parents are really going to like this video or not. But you know what?

I'm finally going to do it. I'm just going to answer this question.

Real estate versus college? It's so weird in thinking about what I'm going to tell

you right now because I have been avoiding it for such a long time because

I hate to think of all of the people from the previous generation that bet

their entire life and their livelihood on this idea that, "If I go to college,

I'll get a degree, I'll work for someone else. and it's going to be good for me." And

the reality is there's truth in that. Like getting a college degree and

working for someone else for 40 years, what a blessing to be able to support

someone else's dream and vision and make enough money that you can cover your

bills. You know, some jobs you don't you can't

pay your bills as well as others. There's a huge blessing in that. And I think

there will always be a need for that. But make no mistake what is changing in the

world today is how people are educating themselves. There always has been and

there always will be 2 different schools for training and education. There

will always be the universities and the college that you go to for your training

like... Listen, if you want to be a doctor or a lawyer, you have to get a degree

like I wouldn't want anyone to operate on me that hadn't spent a decade of

their life in school learning and practicing and doing all that jazz. But

you know, most of the world is not going to college for things like that. Most of

the world is going to college out of default because someone said, "Get good

grades and go to college." And I think that we need to transform our "Why." I mean,

right downstairs right now. I have my near 13 year old daughter that

it has it ingrained. That she needs good grades so that she can go to college.

But I was on campus with her during a dance recital the other day I said, "Wow,

you know, do you think you want to go to college?" And she looked at me weird. She's

like, "What Dad? Of course I am." And I said, "Why won't you understand?" College really

may be the perfect place for you and you should be prepared and ready for it. But

it also might not be what will help you achieve what you want in life. Because my

daughter for example, she's got an entrepreneurial spirit like me. And I've

been Fanning that flame, I'm not lying. And I'm letting her knows it's like,

"College is not where you go to learn how to be brilliant business." You can get an

MBA but oh, my gosh. Like total kindergarten for the real world

education. There's 2 schools of thought. There's colleges for that career

training but then there's the College of the successful. And this is where you

actually spend time with individuals. Whether it starts in books and then

events and then graduates to mentorship. You want to spend time with individuals

that have lived through the school of hard knocks and just in the school of

life, have actually found the way to tremendous success and now can teach it.

The people that are the most successful out there on the planet.

I got news for you, they're not found in colleges. The people that are found in

colleges are people that can repeat very intelligently what's in textbooks. And

there's a total place for that. But there's a lot of you there saying, "Well,

what if I want to be an entrepreneur? What if I want to be self-made? What if I

want to be you know a millionaire or a billionaire in real estate? What if I

want more success in those areas?" College is not where you're going to go. And so

that's not a bagon College, it's just you got to really ask yourself, "Where do I go

to get the education I need?" Pause and just hear it again. That's the magic

question. "Where do I go to get the education that I need?" You see, it's not

College versus real estate. It can be college and real estate. It can be

college or real estate. And that's what you've got to figure out. There are some

young people that benefit a lot from going to college to learn how to learn.

It's still a somewhat disciplined structure and it's a place where you can

hang out and have a social experience outside your family's home and

learn and grow and experiment and try to figure out what's... What really is the

career that I want to spend time in? But you need to understand that college is

not an appropriate place to learn about business,

entrepreneurship, a real estate. You got to go outside those walls. And so for

example, if you're saying, "I'm young and I'm in college years. but I feel really

drawn to real estate." Listen, I was a coward. Kind of sucks saying that. But I

mean, the truth is dude I was terrified my mother-in-law was going to bite my head

off if I didn't get my degree. And it had been so engrained. I was part of that

transitional generation where go to college, go to college. And I got my good

grades as best as I could. And I I got into the university that I wanted to and...

But when I look back you know, I kind of raced through my college experience and

it's defined by what I did outside of college. Outside of college, while I was

going to college I built up a multi-million dollar portfolio in real

estate. And I made it so that the year I graduated, I could also quit my job and

never had to step foot in the corporate world again.

That was important for me. I don't know if that's important to you. I don't know

if that serves you. Some of you... Now listen to this, some of you have like

careers and things that you want to do where you need a college degree and

you're going to love your career and you're going to love what you do. Dude, you can

still have real estate happening on the side. I work with some people with their

hands on active or their passive. And the big difference between active and

passive is if you're saying, "This is my career." Good. Then whether you go to

college or not, that's up to you. But you need a secondary education you won't get

in college. And that is learning how to be a successful investor that is

hands-on. You can click the link in the description below and talk to my team

and will actually give you a crazy education but not for the tuition of

college, right? For a really tiny fee, you can work with my team and I'll be your

mentor. And I will show you how to do real estate full-time. There are also

others that say, "Well Kris, I've got a career that I got based on college and I

love what I do. And I want to keep doing that but I want the benefits of college.

But I want to be more passive." I've got other people that will click that link

and say, "Kris..." When you talk to my team you let them know. "I have some funds or

some assets and I actually want to partner with you. And I want to be pretty

passive but I want to know what's going on and I want to make strategic

decisions. But dude, you're the master of freaking building and growing

wealth. Done of thousands..." You do it. And we'll do it together. We'll do it as a

team. What I'm saying is that there's a way for everybody.

One's not bad, one's not good. Just understand that they're

different. And so when you figure out what you want to do, ask yourself how

you're going to get that education. It will say this, I mean... Far too many of you that

are in college, kind of confused at what you want to do with your life and you

think that it's real estate or bust. Listen, if you're really passionate about

real estate then click that link and get yourself a real estate education so that

you can create the wealth that you need outside of the... Workforce outside of the

job. And then if you get a degree, you'd get it for the same reason I did. Maybe

it's not to avoid your mother-in-law killing you. But I got it because I did

go to college and I did learn how to learn. It's actually ironic. I wanted to

get an MBA. My father-in-law has an MBA and I thought that that'd be a very

worthwhile education. It can be a support to entrepreneurs. Although I still feel

like there's probably many other successful platforms for making a lot of

money in real estate and business without getting an MBA. But I got an

honorary MBA. Because of all of my achievements in business. Some people

joke that an MBA stands for a Massive Bank Account or a Massive Bowel Movement.

I think I like massive bank account better. I can hear you laughing on that

one. So to kind of wrap this up, this whole video in is a college or is it

real estate? I hope that I've answered this question that says it's not one or

the other unless real estate really is where you want to build your career. In

which case, get a mentor, get a system get after it. Learn how to do it and crush it

and that way you can let that be your career. Because that career is not going

to be taught in college. Listen, thank you so much for watching today's video.

Honestly every one of you that clicks and watches these videos. Even if you get

30 seconds of help or maybe it's the full length of the video, it's validating

for me and knowing, "Hey, these videos, they're useful." I appreciate your

comments so feel free to comment below. I love getting a chance to read through

those. And for those you that are saying, "You know, I really do think that real

estate is going to my real career life." Then what I would

say is invest in yourself and click that link and get started down that track. I

can be your mentor or maybe feel like someone else was meant to be. But I have

a system that can get you launched and making money now. That's what it was for

me when I was in college and that's what it might be for you.

Thanks for watching this we'll see you on tomorrow's video.
