Leyton life
People in their early twenties can’t defer retirement planning if they want a reasonable lifestyle in later years. But young people today face a financial situation similar to ‘The Perfect Storm’. The elements are combining to create conditions that sink any hope for school leavers to achieve financial independence during their lifetime. A common problem is deciding whether to continue education beyond A-levels and face university tuition fees and student loans or take an alternative route.Those who want to study medicine, law,engineering etc, will have to go to universitybut their earning potential will enable them torepay their debts. However, with graduatesowing as much as £30,000 we should stopencouraging higher education for all and bemore selective in determining who will benefit. Unless the result is a valuable degree, it is reckless to begin working life with a massive debt resulting from study that will have little impact on eventual earnings. Many graduates with mediocre degrees struggle to find employment. Parents who spend tens of thousands funding university degrees should consider investing that money for their children in other more practical ways. A potential student can get a head start in lifeby saving instead. We have to change the stigma attached to not attending university. The pressure and expectation of continuing education needs to be reappraised. For most young adults it’s entirely possible to achieve success in life without a degree. The difference is attitude, focus, enthusiasm and a good work ethic. There are employers who accept theresponsibility of formal career developmentprograms and more companies should followsuit. The employer may argue that a degree isevidence of a job applicant’s intelligence, butperceptive interviewing can reveal the same. If
employers think that a degree is essential, theycan contribute to fees and give time off toemployees. The prospects for a successful future are as good as ever if you plan the right course whether that be university or otherwise. In the meantime we should campaign for companies to take a more enlightened view on recruitment and ‘hire for attitude and train for skills’. Below are ten tips for today’s school leavers:
Think about what your skills and aims and determine the most sensible course for you. Bowing to peer pressure is not a good strategy.Seek advice from qualified, unbiased people - not just mum and dad or family friends.Get a job with a reputable company, regardless of size or poor pay. It’s about experience, developing skills, gaining confidence and developing a reputation You’ll move on to better things before too long.Be an ‘extra miler’. Have a great attitude, enthusiasm and develop self discipline.Start thinking longer term about what you want to do. Plan three to five years ahead.Find a mentor. Most successful people attribute some of it to another person.Begin to set specific goals, both for your career and life.Stand out from the crowd, rather than being influenced by them and choose your friends and associates with care. Finally, and I wanted to put this at the top of the list but modesty prevailed, read my book ‘Power Secrets of the Rich and Successful’ It’s taken from the best university of all....the University of Life! It’s a proven guide to Wealth, Health and Happiness.
