You can get those degrees for other reasons (if you feel they will enrich your life, for instance). But never again should you feel that they’ll give you a massive advantage in job searches or economic opportunity. For your typical job search, those advantages are massively overhyped.

Eben, with his lackluster resume, wouldn. These guys are trying to sell you on something, so they! I told them about my experience at the workshop and became friendly with them. I found out they were all fans of Tony Robbins. Once, I found this set of Tony Robbins tapes at Goodwill for ten bucks, so I packed the tapes up and sent them to them. I called them up and said, . So I talked to the general manager of the company, and I went to work for them, first doing audiovisual for their live seminars. I worked there for three years, rising up the ranks.”The skills Eben learned in those three years, studying from a world- class master of marketing and sales, set him up for the massive business success he. Shortly after, Eben began selling info- products (mainly e- books, membership communities, Web- based trainings, and in- person weekend workshops) on the Internet. He founded it himself, and grew it over a decade with no investors. He is a self- made multimillionaire, and would never have to work another day in his life if he didn. He runs his business off his Mac. Book, and spends his time either working from his home office in New York (which has a majestic view of the Empire State Building), or his beach- side home office in Miami. The story of how Eben got this all- important first job demonstrates a distinction that will be crucial for you in seeking opportunities throughout your life, no matter the status of your formal credentials. It. Usually, these are jobs that are filled through relationships. Either there is a position at the firm that needs to be filled, and an employee at the firm knows someone who’s qualified. Or, the firm wants to bring a specific person they know to join the team, and they create a position for that person out of thin air. If you do some Googling on the informal job market, you. In other words, only 2. So, how does the 8. The way Eben did it: by building up a professional relationship with people within the organization doing the hiring, long before the hire is made. Connections. Knowing people who know people. This means that, in the vastly larger informal job market, human relationships and a solid network are far more important than GPA figures on a resume. Yet, nearly all the educational and career advice you. Seems a bit ridiculous, given that the informal job market is much larger and easier to ? In most cases, absolutely zippo. What employers actually mean when they say, . Specifically, they’re looking for organizational skills, the ability to follow instructions and make deadlines, critical thinking skills, writing and communication skills, research skills, and so forth. Plus, they want applicants with the general maturity, stability, perseverance, respect for authority, and work ethic required to get through a multi- year academic program. In the formal job market, there. Educational attainment has become that screening tool. So let. Saying that a BA and MA is . These degrees are not actually required to do the job well. Rather, they serve as convenient screening tools for recruiters needing to wade through piles of cold resumes on the formal job market. It happens through the layers of trust, credibility, and reputation that occur naturally within flesh- and- blood, offline social networks. Thus, in seeking opportunity within the informal job market, your networking, connecting, and relationship- forging skills are far more important than your academic test- taking skills. People like to give economic opportunities to people they know and trust. Requirements be damned. Create Your Own Damn Credentials; Create Your Own Damn Job. Most people wouldn’t dream of opening a designer wellness center, charging $5.

Then you do it without even having an undergraduate degree. Jena dropped out of college her junior year to travel around India for two years using the $6,0. English in Martinique. Through self- education in eating and nutrition, she was finally able to end her struggle with food, and lost the weight. She started coaching other women on how to do this, initially charging $1. Reading The 4- Hour Workweek. She began studying marketing and sales (learning much of it from college dropout Eben Pagan), and her business exploded. Soon, Jena’s time became so scarce as her business grew that, if clients wanted access to her training, they started having to pay more and more for it — $2. Today, she charges more than a lot of lawyers and Ph. D. A large following online, free content in her blog and newsletter, a great set of real- world testimonials, her public image and reputation through great marketing, and her personal story.

Imagine investing $1 million in the following manner: You are to call up companies in the Yellow Pages, in alphabetical order, and see if they. The first ten companies that say “yes” will complete your investment. That’s your $1 million portfolio. Now, compare the financial future of two people who have an identical overall investment portfolio (stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.), except that one person also has this extra $1 million Yellow Pages Portfolio on top of all their other investments. Who earns higher returns from their overall profile of investments? All else equal, the person with the Yellow Pages Portfolio. Therefore you should invest $1 million in the Yellow Pages Portfolio, as well. Uh, actually, no. That is the Yellow Pages Portfolio Fallacy in action. All the example above suggests is that having an additional $1 million in netcapital (no matter how moronically it is invested) is financially superior to having $1 million less in net capital. The example says nothing about the best way for you to invest $1 million! The above College Board statistics, which are the basis for nearly all public arguments about the financial advantages of higher education, are riddled with the Yellow Pages Portfolio Fallacy through and through. All they show is that, on average, people who have invested more in their learning earn more. They will never answer the more important question: Is spending your time and money on formal credentials the best way of investing in your continued learning? Cheaper and more informal modes of career development, such as learning to become a great networker (.

But the primary advantage it gives you is in slipping past screeners in the formal job market, where there are such things as . Thus, the advantage a master’s gives you is far less salient. I could think of a lot of ways you could spend $1. There is only data showing that more investment in your learning is better than less. The other option, of course, is to spend years of your life in an undergraduate or graduate program, dropping major cash on tuition, incurring foregone earnings, and going into massive debt in order to rack up ever- more formal credentials, so you can .
