The College Myth

Bookmark and Share

Today, most people believe that the only sure-fire
road to success is through having a college degree.
Gene says that this belief is just flat out wrong.
This pervasive myth leaves many college graduates
with crushing debt, working in a dead end job and
living at home in their parents’ basement. This is a
colossal waste of time, money and talent.


Gene W. Kelly has a better solution. One that trains workers
for the new manufacturing economy where
even someone with just a high school degree can
earn a good income after only nine months of
accelerated training, without the back-breaking
debt of a college education.


Gene is on a mission to shake up and
fundamentally change how job skills
are taught today.

Corporate Talk: Gene W. Kelly and the College Myth


In The College Myth, Gene Kelly exposes higher education as an over-inflated bubble built on misinformation and debt. The truth is that college is not necessary to achieve success, and in many cases, it is an obstacle to success.

Gene W. Kelly

As a successful businessman and founder and CEO of the Advanced Technical Training Institute, Kelly knows first-hand where the 21st century American jobs will be and where the next generation of American millionaires is coming from: The trades. Before you decide to invest the time and money in a traditional college degree, you owe it to yourself to read Kelly’s book. The traditional college experience is based on a 19th century model that has little relevance to the 21st century world we live in. In The College Myth, Kelly shows you how to get an education that works for the 21st century at a fraction of the cost and time of a traditional college education, and acquire it debt-free and with promising career prospects.
