- Don't just tell them you're going to do something; show them you've done it. Quote by @TheMinimalists
- Your degree is a receipt, not a skill. It proves you paid money and spent time. It doesn't prove you can solve problems, create value, or adapt to change. Employers are figuring this out. Students are still caught in the old game. Play the new game before everyone else does.
- During which did you learn more?
- Just in case any of y’all forgot, we started building *the* college alternative way back before it was trendy to bag on college. And we still here. 😘
- Randi is a quick learner who didn't want to spend time on low-value make-work. She finished high school at 16 and knew college wasn't big enough for her ambitions. She worked with a company founder through Praxis then launched her own marketing company. discoverpraxis.com/stories/randal…
- Several years of career experience, pitching their way into a $100k+ job. Meanwhile, peers still have a year or two of college left, lots of debt, no job prospects, and being taught ineffective ways to market themselves. Which way?
- Big news! Praxis has been acquired by @cboyack and the Libertas Network team. With Libertas’s support, we’ll help more young adults build meaningful careers without college, expand our business partnership network, and offer more support to our alumni community. Read more👇
- Instead of college, try completing one cool project each month. By the time your peers graduate, you'll have close to 50 projects and a much more fulfilling education than sitting in a classroom!
- You have to consume content to be able to produce content. Listening to podcasts and reading blog posts or other articles gets your brain warmed up and sparks more questions. Follow that curiosity and see what you can produce!
- When we launched, opting out of college seemed crazy to most people. Today it doesn’t. In fact, pretty much all the young people we interact with know they can do more and better for their career launch than debt and classrooms.
- Did you know that 32.7% of all college graduates are working in jobs that DON’T require a college degree?
