Is a Degree Worth It? Depends on your GPA

Is a degree worth it? It can be, but only if you treat your GPA - and not just your degree - as the investment it is. In this video, I break down why your GPA matters, and what you're risking if you don't protect it. Most of the debate about whether college is worth it focuses just on whether you have that piece of paper or not. But two students with the same degree can get very different returns, and GPA is one of the biggest reasons. It affects your professional and educational opportunities, and the depth of the skillset you develop, all of which compound over time. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Your GPA has an ROI 0:58 The real price of college 3:08 The math that makes a degree worth it 4:34 The 3 payoffs of a high GPA 7:17 High GPA = high returns.
