College can be a safety net,” says Kris Jenner: Why she
wants young people to follow their passion
Los Angeles, March 16, 2026 — Media mogul and
momager Kris Jenner shared her views on higher education during a recent
appearance on the SmartLess podcast, emphasizing that while
college can serve as a valuable "safety net," young people should
prioritize pursuing their passions.
Jenner, 70, who did not attend college herself, reflected on
her own experiences and those of her children. "I'm going to get in
trouble here because I did not go to college," she said. "That wasn't
important to me because I wasn't the most amazing. I didn't love school because
I was social."
She highlighted the diverse educational paths taken by her
family. Her son Rob attended the University of Southern California (USC),
Kourtney Kardashian graduated from college, and Kim Kardashian briefly enrolled
before dropping out after a couple of weeks. "Half of my kids did it and
half of my kids didn't, so it's a mixed bag for me," Jenner noted.
While acknowledging the necessity of formal education for
certain professions, Jenner advocated for personal fulfillment. "If you
want to be a doctor or a physician of any kind or surgeon or go into law,
obviously you need that education," she explained. However, she encouraged
listeners to consider what truly excites them: "What is it that gets you
excited about life and what you want to do with your career? Follow your
heart."
Jenner's comments come amid ongoing debates about the value
of college in an era of rising tuition costs and alternative career paths. Her
perspective blends practicality with inspiration, positioning higher education
as a supportive option rather than a mandatory step.
The SmartLess episode featuring Jenner has
sparked discussions in entertainment and education circles, with outlets
like Times of India and The News International covering
her advice to youth.
Jenner, known for managing the careers of her children
including Kim, Kourtney, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie Jenner, continues to
influence public discourse on ambition and family dynamics.
