IS COLLEGE WORTH IT: The ROI Parents Need to Know
College costs are through the roof, leaving families wondering - Is college worth it?
Spoiler: Sometimes yes. Sometimes no.
In this straight-talking, data-backed session, Kristin Clark breaks down when college is the right move for your teen and when it’s just a very expensive detour. It’s not about pushing college or ditching it. It’s about doing what’s smart.
You’ll walk away with:
- What’s the income difference between grads and non-grads (and when does it pay off)?
- How do we measure the ROI of any education path, whether it’s college, trade school, or something totally different and make sure our kid is on the one that fits them?
- What’s the #1 factor that determines whether your teen thrives or flounders in their future? (Hint: It’s not GPA.)
No fluff. No guilt. Just facts, strategy, and a practical lens for making one of the biggest decisions your family will face.
Come ready to participate in this eye-opening discussion!
Kristin Clark helps 16–26-year-olds create a career they can love by understanding who they are and what they want in their work.
