It's an investment. It's an investment of time and it's an investment of resources. And I think any student is worth investing in, right? And so to me, one of the two things I used to tell people is that, you know, there's two things that nobody can never take away from you, your high school diploma or your college degree. They can never take that away from you. They can never take that away from you. So let's just say for the sake of argument, you spent $60,000 on a car. Well, if you go down the street and get hit, you don't get that $60,000 back, right? But let's just say you invested $60,000 in your life. Once you get that college degree, that's going to, that's going to work for you for the rest of your life. They can never take it away. So that $60,000 that you invested 10 years ago, 5 years ago, will work for you forever. At the end of the day, I wouldn't be here today if I didn't go to college. It's paying off for me.
