Education prices at an all-time low

Hey Vrmsreddy,

Kyle here...today I want to chat with you about education prices.

I don't know about you, but when I went to college it came with a very high
price tag. I believe it was just over $12,000 for a 2.5 year diploma taking
a computer science course.

Yes, it was a good education, but was it really worth $12,000? I got
thinking about this...

What do you pay for when you go to school?

Tuition is a huge expense, and this typically covers the teachers and the
facility. Yes, it does cost money to operate a school. However, a college or
university is a business and they are all about "earning money". So,
obviously their costs are WAY lower than the costs to run.

In fact, some of these University's are publicly traded and after the
teachers, administration and working staff are paid out their high wages
(don't forget the Dean of every department), they are on average 16-20% in
the net profit.

Here is an example stock of public educational corporation Devry Inc:

And don't forget about your books. Geez, I remember walking to the book
store with a heavy wallet and walking out feeling violated. I was paying
upwards of $200 for a book that I likely would not even open as all the
training was online. But guess what, this book was REQUIRED...meaning in
order to take the course, I had to have it. Another cash grab.

And then there is residence, food, travel, parking...the list goes on and
on. Before you know it, your "extra" expenses on top of your education can
easily amount to another $10,000 per year.

I was reading a report the other day stating the average 4 year education is
a minimum of $20,000...and that is on the low end. For what?

An awesome job waiting for you? Not usually. Maybe if you work your butt off
and send out 100 resumes to every employer in town, you might start of at a
Newbie Pay Level, or $40,000 per year. However, if you went straight into
the work force instead of getting educated, you would have a 4 year
advantage over someone else. I know first hand as an employer that we hire
based on "experience" not "education".

A bunch of newly acquired knowledge? I guess to some degree. I can honestly
say that after I finished school I had forgotten 90% of what was taught to
me within the 1st year...and I also didn't utilize 90% of what was taught to
me! Also, every single exam becomes a "cram exam" and by this I mean, you
cram knowledge (and a bunch of coffee) into your brain the night before you
are tested...and then this info is deleted from your brain the next day
after the exam.

Applied knowledge? Not really...most schools put there emphasis on
theoretical knowledge. It is like trying to learn how to play basketball
from a book. It doesn't happen. You become good once you apply your
knowledge, ie, once you finish school and get a job. So, in theory, in order
to become good, you need to finish school first. I can 100% guarantee you
that if you spent 4 years in a job, you would be way further ahead in skill
level, experience, and common sense knowledge than someone that was doing
the same study in school for 4 years.

A piece of paper? Now we are onto something. When you graduate you have a
piece of paer to hang on your wall. Yeah, that is about it. I left college
with a piece of friggin' paper.

No high paying job. No career in place (from what I learned). And really, I
did not feel like I had acquired a skill just yet as I had not been put in
the real world, with real experienced people.

So, I paid $12,000 and invested 2.5 years of my time into school only to
come out with a feeling of "uncertainty" and "being under prepared".

What I did do well I was in school, is what prepared me for where I am at
today. I started working on my own Internet marketing business in the first
year of school...and as you may have heard from some of my writings in the
past, on a credit card I borrowed from my girlfriend.

By year 2 of school I was earning more than all of my professors and likely
more than the Dean of Computer Science. People were shocked as I pulled up
to school in my brand new car and as I paid cash for my tuition
fees...apparently something that is not common place for "students".

I left college with no debt because of the fact that I worked on my own
business during the time I was in college. Kind of an oxymoron as apparently
you are not supposed to be prepared for the "real world" until you finish
school.

Now I ask myself, was that a big waste of time? Where would I be now if I
could get back those 8 hours/day I was at school for the 2.5 years I was
there. Would I be more successful? Would I have helped more people succeed
by now?

Conclusively, I fully believe the answer is yes.

The reason I am telling you all of this is because I know the type of
education we offer at Wealthy Affiliate University and I know how
undervalued it is at $39. I also know how much you will learn and how you
will learn a lot of the applied principles that you would even learn in the
top Universities around the world.

I also know that at our new price (on June 7th) of $97 we will still be a
more than fair offer.

Within the first couple of months you can start earning money at Wealthy
Affiliate. For some people this is much quicker, for some a bit slower...but
you get the point.

It does not take 4 years of education before you can earn a substantial
amount of income.

In fact, by my 6th month online I was earning $10K+ every month and I think
the opportunities now are equivalent to, if not greater then when I started!

So, here you have it. We are offering our training, tools, support and
services at Wealthy Affiliate for one last week at the ridiculous (very
ridiculous price) of $39/mth. Our Internet marketing education is better
than any Unverisity can provide out there...why?

Because it is based on our experience, not a textbook.

We teach what works. We know what works. And you will be able to learn and
implement what works.

You have only 3 days left to get the most affordable education of your life.
You could become a member at WA for 4 years for $1400....not $20,000 and you
can do it from the comfort of yoru own home, a coffee shop, or while on
vacation. Think about it! Join today...you will be impressed.

Cheers,

Kyle

PS. I just want to make sure you don't think we are "bluffing" you here. 3
days is all the time there is left at this price. You WILL NEVER see WA at
this price again!
