As a North Carolinian, I am here to explain why the University of North Carolina School of Arts has a pickle as their mascot. The school originally had no mascot so they were taking suggestions. There was a guy who was an oboe major who loved pickles and long story short he didn't get the pickles he wanted from this deli and they ran over a bunch of pickles in the parking lot, and then they submitted a bunch of pickle related stuff to the school for the school mascot and he school accepted the idea and now they're the pickles.
@@lauranolastnamegiven3385assuming it’s because the French are highly associated with the arts, not too sure otherwise. Unless the Pickle guy was French
As a guy who didn't go to college, learned a union trade and isn't in debt. I'ma say don't be afraid of NOT going to college and doing "manual labor". It can pay off.
As someone who did community college for the first two years, it is definitely worth it. Way more flexible in scheduling in comparison to 4 year colleges both for personal things as well as jobs. Easier to transfer to the "dream school" even if you get rejected in high school (happened to me). Also gives you an idea of what the classes will be like, except for the fact people are more likely to be accommodating in the community college compared to the four year. Not always, but it's a smidge more noticeable. Weird/difficult/easy/awesome teachers can be found at both, there is genuinely no difference when it comes to teachers, curriculum, or what you learn. Really just need to keep track of credits and what's accepted.
Community is where it's AT. I heard Kevin Heart bashing community college once and I was LIVID. We don't need to be telling kids that going to a two year college is lame and makes you an indecisive loser; community college keeps you from being a lame and indecisive loser with mountains of debt and depression.
Sorry if this question is a bit odd but what community college classes could one take to get a good office job? I’m 22 and I know I’m not meant to be a fast food worker my whole life
@@PhantomOutlawit depends on what you are interested in but there are some really great options for associates programs, I'm getting my associates in engineering technology to become a mechanical drafter, trade schools are another great option if you don't necessarily want an office job but you can also look into a trade focusing in cyber security which has been booming recently
@PhantomOutlaw since no one has answered ya, i will. For office jobs, anything that prioritzes work with Excel, writing skills and organizing skills. I know of some community colleges that have secretarial associates degree programs, or offer certification in Word, Excel, etc. However, you're best bet would be to pick a 2 year program and get an associates degree. This allows for you to have certification, but also opens the door for you to continue your higher education in an easier way later should you ever want to. I'd focus on programs such as: -Office Administration (secretary degree) -Coding, Software Development, etc -General Studies -Economics, Finance, Accounting, etc -Human Resources Another good transitional job is being a bank teller or receptionist. These jobs tend to not require college degrees yet make transitioning to professional jobs easier. But the most important thing would be to chose something that interests you. I hope this is a good launching point for you. Best of luck!
I have a culinary degree! Since you asked, our final was a fixed 7 course menu and we were graded on knife skills, flavor, plating, cleanliness, efficiency and speed! Thanks for saying something I did is cool 😂
I know I'm late to the party on this one but. This made me feel so good about my decision to go to community college while my friends went to the local university. I owe no money now, got my degree and got to party at the university on weekends then go home and sleep uninterrupted, and make whatever food I want with no repercussions.
if your thinking about community college, DO IT!!!! they offer SO MUCH SUPPORT and have TONS of options and financial aid especially if you transfer later
Agreed. If you don't need college, avoid it like the plague. But if you do, do it right. Go to community college first, then transfer to a smaller state school if they offer your degree. Also, even while you're at the community college, make sure you take only the classes that are required for your major, and follow the degree plan from the school you're transferring to. And take as much as you can (i.e., as many credits as will transfer without any form of penalty) at the community college before transferring. In other words: Get in, get out, as quickly and cheaply as possible.
California community college has completely free tuition! Once you get your AA, you have guaranteed acceptance to state universities if you follow their education plan. It’s really great how they do it here.
Only warning is that I found that community college professors are a bigger crapshoot than the ones you’ll find in universities. Not saying that they’re better, but from my experience my professors in my university helped me leagues more than my community college professors.
i was an RA cause u get free housing and paid on top of it, and i would tell my residents "just break the rules quietly." and i 100% drank with them A LOT. 😂
The only time I saw my RA was when they hammered on the door in the middle of the night to take us all to hospital to get meningitis shots because one of our housemates was really sick with it.

I'm currently in the really scary position of becoming physically disabled while in college. I was actually considering dropping out and going to trade school bc money, but now I know I literally can't. So its become a "I have to finish college and get a good paying job or I won't be able to live" kind of situation, which I deeply hate and it does not help with the stress of trying to figure out wtf is wrong with my body. And I'm so broke
Community college is definitely the way to go. No one cares that you went to one and the benefits are massive. Not only does it give you time to figure out what you're doing so you can pick a major you love and/or will make money with, but it saves you so much money
I did community college my first couple years. Made for a really nice transition saved me a ton of money, and when I transferred to a state school for the last couple years I felt much more prepared. And no one even really knows because I just say where I graduated from, so they only find out when I tell them
I went to a community college, I was able to have the college experience. My friends & I knew people at nearby 4-year schools, so we were able to go to college parties. We went on road trips. I met a lot of great people. When I transferred to our state university, I knew people from community college when I first arrived.
I went to community college for a 2-year associate's degree in mortuary science, discovered if you just show up for class and complete the assigned reading and homework, then you're in the top third of students there. Went all the way through university and law school, but when talking to young people about to graduate high school, I steer them to look at TRADE SCHOOLS instead of college. HVAC, electric car repair, air traffic controller, elevator repair, dental hygienist, diagnostic medical sonography, aviation maintenance technology (or learn this in the military and be an aircraft or helicopter repairman in civilian life), home inspector, petroleum technology (especially offshore oil rig worker), and remember some plumbers charge more than patent attorneys!
I hated my freshman year of college I lived on campus, big state school. I transferred to online and I’m about to be a senior. Love it so much. Saved so much money, I’m able to work full Time, and do all my assignments on my own time.
Hot tip: get the 2-year degree (associates of whatever) because when applying to a 4-year institution they cannot pick and choose credits they will/will not accept. They have to either accept or decline your entire 2-year degree. Best advice a community College professor gave me
Went to community college and all my credits transferred to the state college. I graduated college with $6000 in debt, and paid it off within a year. I didn't get to live on campus but in the end I got the degree.
I waited breathlessly for my weird college mascot and cant believe you missed it. The fighting okra. OKRA. Delta State University. It' s okra and it will fight you.
Because I can’t get hired without them ding a ling. I think that we could pretty easily restructure things so that the majority of learning these skills is done on the job or in a far shorter manner as to avoid useless wasting of money. Also I never said they were useless. Did I not specifically say that I learned things? They may sound silly but they are important skills.
I fully regret going to college. I made one friend, and we’re still friends and meet up a few times a year. Everything else was just useless, expensive, or stressful. I had a full blown nervous breakdown senior year because I was a full time student working 2 jobs. Then after I graduated I became disabled so I can’t work enough to pay off my student loans. Yay.
Fun fact in scotland our tuition fees are normally around $2500 a year and if you're a scottish citizen your tuition is covered by the government for up to 5 years of tuition. Though this also includes any years you spent to do low level qualifications at community college Our student loans are actually just living costs loans. The minimum you're elligible for is around $650 a month and this goes up with some of the loan waived if your parents make less than $60k a year or therabouts. Also when it comes time to repay the loan there is no interest on it and you're under no obligation to start paying it back until you're earning over a certain amount per year. At which point it comes off as a low percentage of your monthly pay automatically like taxes. Oh wait u guys dont have ur taxes done automatically either lol

@@drm.himself yeah i agree that it's a massive L that we do our own taxes when a whole organization exists that already knows what we owe and just makes us figure it out anyway just so companies can exist to make money off you trying to figure it out.
I completely flunked my first year of traditional university and I never went back. I payed my thankfully minimal debt, worked and took a few certification courses (EMT and CNA) and now I'm working a night shift hospital desk job that basically allows me to do whatever I want for ten hours so long as my work is done. And it's been pretty okay. I honestly feel privileged to have the job I have for the level of education I have.
The community college plug for the first 2 years is the best advice you can give. Perfect idea and will cut down the ultimate overall cost and likely debt. Good job and the video and for sure saying the above!

Culinary graduate here, got a job immediately after college, I apparently didn’t really need that degree, and I regret everything except the fact that I can cook really amazing food and I impress everyone with my skills
The worst part of college is the filler courses that only exist to get more money out of you that know they're useless and make up for that by giving 10 courses worth of useless homework every single day.
In order: 1) Find the state school--not the prestigious place--that has the program you want. 2) Find out what pre-reqs they want. 3) Get those pre-reqs out of the way at the nearest Community College while you work a service job. Those jobs are easy to get with experience and tipped ones pay well. 4) Transfer when you're ready, but leave the job on good terms if you have to move. 5) Get settled into your new school and find a comparable job to the one you left. 6) Finish the degree. 7) Stay put or go home depending on your job prospects/major. 8a) If you'll need postgrad work, go to the prestigious place now. 8b) If you just have to job hunt and need to go home to save money while you do, check back in with the old employer. 9) Be good to your parents. Do more around the house than you used to. Tell your parents you love and appreciate them. 10) Slowly retreat from bursts of effort job hunting as you take on more responsibilities at the good ol' job. 11a) You'll eventually find a good job that makes as much use of your work experience as your degree. 11b) You'll end up running the good ol' job. 12) Make peace with either. You'll be okay. 13) Care for and cherish your time, health, and the people around you.
Computer Science major, went to community college first, was an RA for a year, was an alcoholic for a couple semesters, then got a job with my degree (eventually). I agree with everything you said.
I've been on the fence about pursuing pharmacy after finishing my chemistry degree (only halfway so far) - the job market seems pretty dismal here. Like there was negative job growth for pharmacists not too long ago. Is it any better where you are?
Ya I’m a little confused why you would go to college for art you can learn that pretty much anywhere and as long as you practice it’s not that bad also the pay is shit
@@joshua9035 Connections, internships, whatever. But only the graphic design concentrations at my school get internships. For the drawing, painting, ceramics majors... I guess they tell them good luck?? No clue lol.
Yep went to college for art, only a one year program at a private school... only $12k CAD which isnt that bad I guess, but now I got a fancy piece of paper framed on my wall! How about that! I learned basically nothing and sacrificed a year of my life and several years of fees for that paper and title and thats it.
Oh my gosh, I don’t normally think young people are so funny but you nailed joke after joke after joke I seem to agree with your sense of humor perfectly you just have a subscriber for life bro for life
I know this video is a year old but for anyone who is in or is going to college next year. Just know that college isnt a place to learn, its a place to build connections and yoyr network. You can't be beaten to the head enough how important who you know is.
It’s even hard for engineer majors. I know dudes who either work low entry jobs still or aren’t in their field at all even tho it’s been 3 years since we walked the aisle.
Community college nursing is the GOAT. It's only about $10k for the whole degree all said and done (and very easy to get covered by grants or tax incentives). Then most jobs start at $40-$50/hr with starting bonuses upwards of $20k and beyond.
1. College does not make you smarter. 2. College does not prepare you for the private sector. Your employer will still have to train you. 3. College does not pay for itself. 4. College does not make you more "cultured". This is coming from a Civil engineering major.
“College does not make you more cultured” my ass. I got so cultured during college. I’m talking E. coli, the common cold, the flu, rabies, the plague, I got so many cultures I’m more microbe than man
I dropped out of college after one year. I didn't do well in high school or enjoy it at all, and only went because of the expectation. Luckily, I went to community college, so it wasn't an insane amount of debt, but I still was thousands of dollars. Everyone's journey is different, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Don't let someone else push you to do it if you don't want to or don't feel ready, because at the end of the day, they're probably not the one paying your bills lol
haha as a high school senior with no plans for college I %100 agree. I keep getting teachers who are like "I hope you change your mind" and it drives me crazy. I have a job. I'm going to do that job and I'm doing great, thanks. yeah the expectation to go to college is pretty dumb lol
@atlanticamnesia5139 If someone is paying for your tuition,then they should ask about school. If not they should mind their business. I had a "wonderful" therapist who kept saying that I "wouldn't be happy or successful without a college degree". Meanwhile it's too expensive for me and I never really liked the idea of college anyway.
I hate college rich kids so much! my roommate kept complaining about how poor she was so I thought she was worse off than me but turns out her mom paid her whole tuition and she just felt bad using her mom’s credit card to buy groceries 😀 the shock I had that day. She was also surprised I didn’t have a savings account and told me to “just put a little money aside even like $1k it’ll be good for you.”
What do people mean by "college rich kids" anyway? If you're rich you don't have to work so why go to college? Maybe their parents are actually wealthy but the college students sure as hell aren't, why study and/or work if you're already fucking wealthy?!
Best way to describe “college rich kids” is they typically dont have part time jobs, parents are financially set and readily available to pay for the needs and some wants the kids have, their parents also typically pay for the loans, and overall have no grasp of how much things are worth. Its basically college on easy mode. Without most adult responsibilites, college is dumd fuck easy.In my 6 years, ive only met a couple “rich college kids” that were genuine people who didnt just get bankrolled through college, and they were all children of people who did extremely well in trades . As far as why they do to college, its because the parents need to believe their kids are doing something, and the kids have been told their whole life to go to college
@@ericbeaudry8118This comes off like your jealous of them and the "college rich kids" didn't actually so anything wrong. Plus this doesn't put college on easy mode, having a part time job or no car just makes it harder.
I was art education so most classes in the visual arts building…hated the business majors lol. One time their pipe burst and all the water went downhill into our building and flooded the elevator and brought out even more cockroaches lol. Also the theater majors just screaming Shakespeare in the snack lounge we shared.
As someone who graduated college with dual honors degrees, I really want to encourage high schoolers to consider two year/community colleges or trade schools. Please please PLEASE don't throw your money into a scam like four year colleges unless you are 100% certain you want to pursue a higher degree like a masters, law degree, medical degree, etc.
And make sure you know which degree you want with backup plans! I wasted about 2 years in uni figuring out what I wanted to do when I could have been taking gap years working full time.
100% this. You get the same education as a university, with fewer fees and less bullshit. No point in throwing your money away to those institutions for basic classes.
And also if the med degree thing doesn’t pan out, give yourself grace. It isn’t the end of the world even though it feels like it. Pivot and survive to thrive, my friend. Sincerely, a STEM grad whose life got thrown way off course bc trauma.
I'm doing chemical engineering and 4 years straight at a university. I am definitely the outlier of this video cause I'm getting a job straight out. It definitely sucks that so many others have a shit time out of school
I was making $15 an hour prior to graduating. After getting my bachelor's, I got a job which required my degree and was making $18.5 an hour. Yeah, it wasn't much more pay but the work life balance of the job was amazing. Any low wage high school diploma job is soul (and back) crushing. My bachelor's job allowed me to completely make my own schedule and I could just chill at home most days. Obviously, I wanted more pay though, and after finishing grad school, I now make nearly double what I was making before. Definitely think it was worth it. I have no idea how else I would be making the amount of money I do at my age without going to college.
Considering all the panic attacks I’m having about college, and the fact I recently learned I can go into my field without a degree, I’m about to drop out. The guilt has been eating me alive but this video helped me feel less awful. Thanks for putting a smile on my face! Keep making amazing videos man ❤
@@IDK-no7od currently applying for full time jobs, and have a part time job in my field! Planning to move out soon, and my friends support my decision whole heartedly! I’m doing so much better mentally too, now that I have time to focus on hobbies I find joy in them again as well! Thank you for asking :)
As a 5 year old who has invested big time into the stock market, went to a community college to train on how to find cool looking things in the sandbox and then went to an actual university to then find out depression is a thing(and so is thoughts and a conscience) to then get drunk with the boys which would soon make me look like I just got out of the shower whilst singing “Baka Mitai” whilst also crying uncontrollably, I find this relatable.
I think doing community college first is helpful depending on your major and what you plan to do and where you plan to go. There are benefits to getting out of your parent's house and getting exposed to a lot of new people and new ideas, and if the major is one that gets progressively harder over time, having that pre-existing support structure can make or break you passing class.
These are all valid points, but as an upcoming college sophomore, I just experienced one of the best years of my entire life, and I don't think I'll ever regret immediately going to a four year college after high school. It's not the path for everyone, but if it is, it *really is.* I was happier than I've been in YEARS, and it's because I was enveloped in an environment surrounded by people my age with common interests, had access to a fascinating education and resources, a beautiful community and campus, and so many fun, interesting people and events. So basically, all this to say, if you're planning on going to college, all of what Big Tugg said is pretty much true, but if you think college is the right thing for you, those things will be minor issues in the overall picture :) (other than the debt, that is defo an issue, but just be smart with your goals)
As someone who's getting a communications degree because it's the best degree for my dream job the fact you have one makes me both nervous and excited for what I'll experience.
Currently in college 1. The people here are literal demons, they won't stop screaming for no reason 2. 8 very loud people crammed in one dorm room does not make me slightly happy to live here
Lack of etiquette regarding common laundry rooms was and continues to be the bane of my existence. People will leave their stuff in the dryers in my building for hours. The longest time anyone ever left their stuff is indeterminate because they never came back for it. What in the hell. I go to the laundromat now instead.
Went to a community college while in High School that was fully paid for by my High School due to a STEM program. Then went to a University for 2 years and was paid by Financial Aid and got a degree in computer science. Now I'm making the big bucks before AI comes and gets me
Most RAs at my college are pretty chill so I got lucky I guess(people basically said that any strict RAs loosen up really quickly as it’s more stressful to be strict than anything), but my RA for one semester straight up told us that if we don’t want something to be reported, don’t have it in plain sight. If it’s seen, it has to be reported, but if it isn’t, it doesn’t have to be and it’s not worth the trouble for them to search 40+ people’s rooms since they have classes and hobbies as well.
Incredible! I was too nervious and broke to go to college. Seeing everyone I knew end up in massive debt while I joined the military, I just feel bad. Now the military pays for my degree. (Not saying it is a good path, but it is a cheaper one). I just think everyone should take a few years for their brain to fully develop before going.
Something I'm thinkin about forreal not huge fan of war and shit cause I'm a hippie but shit it pays for my school and gives me something to do with my life so
we in the uk have pretty similar experiences at uni, With the singular biggest difference being that you pay a percentage of the money you make over 26k a year, and the debt is wiped after a long ass period of time if you never pay it. I would never suggest you go to uni unless you 1. Genuinely love, or know you will pursue that career for many years to come, and 2 .Are choosing a degree that will actually lead to a career as allot of them are just created to spung of the government. And yes, you can learn pretty much everything from uni for a fraction of the price in a much more condescend period of time online, but almost know one does that cuz they want the socialization and party's.
If I could go back in time, I wouldn't (lol), but only because I met my husband at my first college (took three schools and 5.5 years - with a semester off - to get the dang BA). But that aside, if I could, I'd go to my local community college and also work at some dumb minimally paid internship or apprenticeship, then reassess my plans/dreams once I completed the Associate degree. I'd probably then attend an in-state school (my parents covered what they could, but I went to a private and then an out-of-state public university) to avoid debt, and study something that really roused my curiosity - whether or not I already had a knack for it - and actually just focus on studying for learning's sake.
I freaking hate the laundry room in my dorm because there are always some dipshjt that will STOP MY FCKING WASHING MACHINE, UNLOAD MY WET CLOTHES, AND SHOVE THEIRS IN, AND CONTINUE WASHING FOR FREE SINCE I HAVE PAID FOR THAT WASH CYCLE. I have set timers and come back to a wet pile of clothes on the floor so many freaking times, and no security or floor master cared enough to investigate it.
As a french person, your impression of French ppl was rly good, also, I'm in college in France, and I don't relate to a lot of things in this video but it was pretty funny
In high school, my grandpa was the mascot of the school, the blue devil, and I forgot what he did but he started a big old tradition there that had to do with fire lol.
My high school had TWO mascots. A ladyhorn and a longhorn. Apparently the ladyhorn stepped into the longhorns turf and he didn’t like it and they hate each other? Ironically the mascots were a couple. At a pep rally they got into a fist fight. An ACTUAL fight. It took ten teachers to seperate them (four for the girl and six for they guy) because it looked like they were actively trying to kill each other. Turns out the guy forgot their three year anniversary and it was the last straw for the girl lmao.
that knuckle crack at 5:10 was ominous. ETA: Culinary major, you nailed it on the head. There are a LOT of cooking skills people just don't know, but knowing it will make real life a hell of a lot tastier. As for the final, it's usually a dinner service or something.
I love watching him trying to keep it together for the green weevil part bro was strugglin EDIT: for the major roasting part you did my cs major pretty well I appreciate it EDIT 2: and yes, community colleges are OP and I highly recommend. The one I go to even allows high school students like me to start college 2 years early so I will be basically a sophomore in college when I graduate.
9:12 It could be worse. We had a vending machine in the Laundry room at my dorm, and someone managed to get into it and steal a bunch of stuff like chocolate bars, and sodas, then opened them, threw them in a dryer for a while, and somehow thought it was cool and funny. He was kicked out by the end of the day, because somehow, even though there were signs, he forgot not only that there were cameras, but that you had to use your student badge to scan into the room, so they knew exactly who it was.
i was in an accredited culinary program. our finals vary depending on the class. my final for advanced pastry arts was to make a tiered wedding cake based on a color theme, with tasting cupcakes, a filling, and some other components. We were graded on a few things - like we needed to have all of the components, needed to fit the theme. Then we were graded on things like texture (so for example if you overmixed your batter, the cupcakes are tough and not fluffy). Presentation - if you had fondant, was it smooth or full of rips? same for buttercream. Did you make the buttercream correctly? did it split? Lots of stuff. I wouldn't say you need to go to culinary school to have a career as a cook. if you want to do that. :)
The best decision I made after high school was to go to a community college and later make the decision that college wasn't for me. Saved me a lot money.
As a young gen z (2004) i made the decision to not go to college and focus starting my own business. Basically i work on motorbikes and cars and sell them online. It's been almost a year and i can definitely say i made the right decision and saved the money i would've otherwise wasted into my bank account, investments, and back into my business. The toughest part is that i don't see people my age at all and it really sucks. I'm an extrovert and i don't usually get the chance to interact with or make friends with people my age other than on discord. We are facing a demographic crisis atm. Less and less people are being born nowadays due toba rising cost in living and college is really the only haven for young people to meet other young people. Socializing is pretty important but there are definitely workarounds. Like i said, discord is a surefire way to meet people your age but they'll be all over the world and the timezones might be all wonky especially if you're not EST. Also face to face connection is still and always will be important for mental health. One way to do so is to just go for walks or jogs around your neighborhood and just give a friendly hi or wave to people who seem close to your age. This is especially useful if you have a dog. In general it's just a friendly gesture and most people don't usually have someone say hi to them these days so it'll make them feel good and like you more. If you do this regularly enough to the same people, they'll surely get chummy enough to talk to you. Another great way to meet people your age is to go to events where there's gonna be alot of young people. For me, there's a theme park very close to where i live and i've met alot of my friends there. That might not exactly apply to you but there are many other community events you can participate in. It's june so it's pride month so if you're gay or lesbian or bisexual or even if you're straight it's a great way to make friends and socialize with people your age and have some common interest or even just have fun and enjoy yourself and all around the vibes are good. Bars and clubs might also work too. I mean hey, in all likelihood you were gonna get hammered in college anyway. The key is just to open up. If you're leaving high school and you're not sure if you want to go to college, don't feel pressured to go right after high school. You have time. Don't rush. Feel free to take a break year or 2 to figure out what you really want to do. Living with your parents after high school is underrated and in all likelihood if your honest with them they'll be chill about letting you stay with them depending on how strict they are. Worst case scenario you can take a job at subway or something and have enough to afford a few roommates. Use your break year to figure out what you want to do and whether or not college is really necessary for that skill. We live in the age of information and basically any in demand skill can basically be learned for free on youtube. You don't even necessarily need to start a business like i did. TH-cam content for instance is an extremely in demand market and probably will continue to be for the foreseeable future. You can learn video editing and try to get hired by youtubers to edit their videos. From what i know video editing is not very difficult to learn and will get you started working online with content creators and can open a world of networking with creators with already big audiences. At the very least it's a great side hustle and will give you a good portfolio. Videography is also another skill that's relatively easy to learn on youtube. All you really need is a few months of knowledge and some equipment. If you live in or around decently big urban area, you can film music videos for young aspiring rappers and musicians in your city. These musicians need to get their content out there and the best way to do it is with music videos. These can work as freelance or specialize with one or a group of artists. If you already have skills that you just do for fun like drawing or music, you can absolutely use that to your advantage. If you love to draw, and especially if you're really talented, hone in on those skills even more and leverage them for other creators. There's this channel named "The Histocrat". He makes videos about ancient history and he hires artists to draw visual representations of life during those time periods. Many creators can use your skills for more visual appeal. If you wanna delve into the realm of animation, many big and medium sized animation channels hire other animators to do inbetweens to make life easier for them and so they can make videos at a faster and more efficiently. The same thing may also apply to 3D animation with softwares like Blendr. If you're really into music, you can hone more into production and composition skills and make beats for rappers or collaborate with other musicians. All of these come with networking perks. Even more complex skills like programming or computer hardware can be learned on youtube. It might take a few years rather than months to really get it down but compare 4 years of practical learning and youtube to 4 years of practical learning, plus tests and assignments, minus a few thousand dollars. These are all just off the top of my head. The key is to think outside the box. If you have something you're even vaguely interested in, chances are there is a very marketable skill associated with that you can learn for free online. Even tho many of us gen z don't remember a time before the internet alot of us still have this old gen x mentality of going to college to get a degree that you'll put on your resumé to get hired by a big company that you'll work at for the rest of your life and use the money you make from that job to someday pay off your college debt when the new paradigm allows for way more freedom and flexibility than that. There are of course exceptions to this like if you want to become a professional athlete or a doctor, or a lawyer or an engineer or a professor then yes, you legally have to get a degree, but for the most part, employers are not really looking for a piece of paper with the name of a fancy academic institution on it, they're looking for practical skills that can be immediately useful to them. Like he said in the video trade schools and community colleges are great alternatives. You'll learn practical hands on skills for a low price and possibly even for free. But for the most part, most people who are going to college don't need to. College is a bubble. In the US and Japan (not sure about everywhere else in the world) college is heavily subsidized by the government just like the housing bubble before the 2008 crash and same will likely happen with college in the near future. Don't just go to college because your parents and friends are pressuring you to. How you prepare yourself for the workplace and what line of work you eventually go into is entirely a personal decision. Who knows, you might find you saved a few thousand dollars. good luck to everyone out there.

Hi everyone, I’m going to community college right now. Every adult out of college that I tell about this says 1 of 2 things: “you are a genius” or “that’s what I should’ve done” Here are some of the many benefits I get: -Significantly cheaper tuition cost for the same gen eds as any other college in the US -Smaller, more intimate classes where all of my teachers know and care about me - The ability to explore classes and electives to find what it is I want to do in life - 2 extra years to decide what I want to study - pretty easy classes and forgiving class times (earliest class starts at 11, classes end at 1:45 daily except for wed when I have a lab) - a LOT of free time to enjoy hobbies - more time with family - many many more Feel free to ask questions, I would 1000% advocate for going to community college instead of committing to a college that wants to suck all your money out of you. I do plan on transferring to a regular college after my 2 years, but I’ve saved so much money already.

As a fellow communications graduate, I feel your pain. I ended up having to go back to school to get certifications to work in my current field. The first 4 years of my degree were essentially a giant waste of money.
As someone who went to a technical college, then transferred to a state school for a bachelors degree, and finally went on to get a professional masters - I am *so* glad I didn’t have to deal with ANY OF THIS. Except for the soul-crippling financial shit I’m in now. That shit… that shit never. Goes. AWAY.
As someone with a bfa (bachelors in fine arts) I don’t think I can use the degree itself for anything really. _HOWEVER_ , I’m about a million times better at illustration now than I was, so hey that’ll be pretty helpful.
If, I may ask, why do the French hate Americans? I do get why the world has beef with us and a lot of Americans have beef with the US as well, but what is France's beef?
@@chopitup9950 I don't speak for everyone but as French i think we don't like Americans because they seem ignorant about others cultures and they tend to believe they are the center of the world.. Plus the amount of food i see that is disrespect in american culture, French are very attached to food and our gastronomy! Ps: this is just a vision of America we can have, i don't think this is the case of every Americans, everybody is différent and if you want to feel better, the people's French hates the most is other French people so..
@@chopitup9950 yeah I’ll tend to agree with the other comment, but also adding French bashing. Especially with what happened during WW2, even worsen by the fact that Americans truly don’t understand why France surrendered so fast and that also we really didn’t surrender, our government was just fucking bad tbf (I’m not going to bore you with a French history lesson but if you’re interested just search up Maréchal Petin and you’ll see the problem) Yeah also like the food culture is insane there

Community college is great for exploring all the electives you weren’t allowed to in high school
AND ITS CHEAP COMPARED TO A UNIVERSITY
Cool
Or that your high school just didn't offer.
And it’s great for becoming depressed! Without all the thousand dollar loans
It really is 😂
As a North Carolinian, I am here to explain why the University of North Carolina School of Arts has a pickle as their mascot. The school originally had no mascot so they were taking suggestions. There was a guy who was an oboe major who loved pickles and long story short he didn't get the pickles he wanted from this deli and they ran over a bunch of pickles in the parking lot, and then they submitted a bunch of pickle related stuff to the school for the school mascot and he school accepted the idea and now they're the pickles.
why does the pickle look French, though? the beret, the moustache?
@@lauranolastnamegiven3385assuming it’s because the French are highly associated with the arts, not too sure otherwise. Unless the Pickle guy was French
I like the pickle mascot! I think he's funny and more mascots should have moustaches
I just went to see a friend's graduation there and was very confused about the pickle.
Nope! Stopped reading after “...has a pickle as their mascot.”
As a guy who didn't go to college, learned a union trade and isn't in debt. I'ma say don't be afraid of NOT going to college and doing "manual labor". It can pay off.

As someone who did community college for the first two years, it is definitely worth it. Way more flexible in scheduling in comparison to 4 year colleges both for personal things as well as jobs. Easier to transfer to the "dream school" even if you get rejected in high school (happened to me). Also gives you an idea of what the classes will be like, except for the fact people are more likely to be accommodating in the community college compared to the four year. Not always, but it's a smidge more noticeable. Weird/difficult/easy/awesome teachers can be found at both, there is genuinely no difference when it comes to teachers, curriculum, or what you learn. Really just need to keep track of credits and what's accepted.
Whats your job
Especially when you use ratemyprofessor to find the best teachers
Community is where it's AT. I heard Kevin Heart bashing community college once and I was LIVID. We don't need to be telling kids that going to a two year college is lame and makes you an indecisive loser; community college keeps you from being a lame and indecisive loser with mountains of debt and depression.
Sorry if this question is a bit odd but what community college classes could one take to get a good office job? I’m 22 and I know I’m not meant to be a fast food worker my whole life
@@PhantomOutlawbest to lookup you nearest community college, and look at the different programs they teach and what sounds like the best fit for you
@@PhantomOutlawit depends on what you are interested in but there are some really great options for associates programs, I'm getting my associates in engineering technology to become a mechanical drafter, trade schools are another great option if you don't necessarily want an office job but you can also look into a trade focusing in cyber security which has been booming recently
@PhantomOutlaw since no one has answered ya, i will.
For office jobs, anything that prioritzes work with Excel, writing skills and organizing skills. I know of some community colleges that have secretarial associates degree programs, or offer certification in Word, Excel, etc.
However, you're best bet would be to pick a 2 year program and get an associates degree. This allows for you to have certification, but also opens the door for you to continue your higher education in an easier way later should you ever want to. I'd focus on programs such as:
-Office Administration (secretary degree)
-Coding, Software Development, etc
-General Studies
-Economics, Finance, Accounting, etc
-Human Resources
Another good transitional job is being a bank teller or receptionist. These jobs tend to not require college degrees yet make transitioning to professional jobs easier.
But the most important thing would be to chose something that interests you. I hope this is a good launching point for you. Best of luck!

"I think we need a class war" - exactly how I feel when rich people complain about small things or I read about all the ways they try to evade taxes.
I know I'm late to the party on this one but. This made me feel so good about my decision to go to community college while my friends went to the local university. I owe no money now, got my degree and got to party at the university on weekends then go home and sleep uninterrupted, and make whatever food I want with no repercussions.
if your thinking about community college, DO IT!!!! they offer SO MUCH SUPPORT and have TONS of options and financial aid especially if you transfer later
Agreed. If you don't need college, avoid it like the plague. But if you do, do it right. Go to community college first, then transfer to a smaller state school if they offer your degree.
Also, even while you're at the community college, make sure you take only the classes that are required for your major, and follow the degree plan from the school you're transferring to. And take as much as you can (i.e., as many credits as will transfer without any form of penalty) at the community college before transferring.
In other words: Get in, get out, as quickly and cheaply as possible.
California community college has completely free tuition! Once you get your AA, you have guaranteed acceptance to state universities if you follow their education plan. It’s really great how they do it here.
Only warning is that I found that community college professors are a bigger crapshoot than the ones you’ll find in universities. Not saying that they’re better, but from my experience my professors in my university helped me leagues more than my community college professors.
Also in community college you get WAY better grades. You can half ass an A. In 4 year college you will likely struggle for a B.
Screenshoting yalls comments for when I go to college lol
i was an RA cause u get free housing and paid on top of it, and i would tell my residents "just break the rules quietly."

I'm currently in the really scary position of becoming physically disabled while in college. I was actually considering dropping out and going to trade school bc money, but now I know I literally can't. So its become a "I have to finish college and get a good paying job or I won't be able to live" kind of situation, which I deeply hate and it does not help with the stress of trying to figure out wtf is wrong with my body. And I'm so broke

@@katylove8455 best of luck to you
The laundry rant was the most valid rant I've ever heard
Community college is definitely the way to go. No one cares that you went to one and the benefits are massive. Not only does it give you time to figure out what you're doing so you can pick a major you love and/or will make money with, but it saves you so much money
I did community college my first couple years. Made for a really nice transition saved me a ton of money, and when I transferred to a state school for the last couple years I felt much more prepared. And no one even really knows because I just say where I graduated from, so they only find out when I tell them
I went to a community college, I was able to have the college experience. My friends & I knew people at nearby 4-year schools, so we were able to go to college parties. We went on road trips. I met a lot of great people. When I transferred to our state university, I knew people from community college when I first arrived.
I fucking hate myself for not going to community college first
As a fifteen year old on summer vacation i can relate
Same 😂
to what??
Lowkey me
💀
Getting bold you pizza freaks are
I went to community college for a 2-year associate's degree in mortuary science, discovered if you just show up for class and complete the assigned reading and homework, then you're in the top third of students there. Went all the way through university and law school, but when talking to young people about to graduate high school, I steer them to look at TRADE SCHOOLS instead of college. HVAC, electric car repair, air traffic controller, elevator repair, dental hygienist, diagnostic medical sonography, aviation maintenance technology (or learn this in the military and be an aircraft or helicopter repairman in civilian life), home inspector, petroleum technology (especially offshore oil rig worker), and remember some plumbers charge more than patent attorneys!
I hated my freshman year of college I lived on campus, big state school. I transferred to online and I’m about to be a senior. Love it so much. Saved so much money, I’m able to work full
Time, and do all my assignments on my own time.
Hot tip: get the 2-year degree (associates of whatever) because when applying to a 4-year institution they cannot pick and choose credits they will/will not accept. They have to either accept or decline your entire 2-year degree.
Best advice a community College professor gave me
I love this idea and wish I had used it...
Went to community college and all my credits transferred to the state college. I graduated college with $6000 in debt, and paid it off within a year. I didn't get to live on campus but in the end I got the degree.
I see this as an absolute win. 🤔

My fire and forestry degrees are very important! I’ve learned valuable things such as not dropping trees on my head and not lighting myself on fire!
So if you feel they are useless, why did you choose them? Wanted to have fun for parents' money and choose random degree, huh?
Because I can’t get hired without them ding a ling. I think that we could pretty easily restructure things so that the majority of learning these skills is done on the job or in a far shorter manner as to avoid useless wasting of money. Also I never said they were useless. Did I not specifically say that I learned things? They may sound silly but they are important skills.
I fully regret going to college. I made one friend, and we’re still friends and meet up a few times a year. Everything else was just useless, expensive, or stressful. I had a full blown nervous breakdown senior year because I was a full time student working 2 jobs. Then after I graduated I became disabled so I can’t work enough to pay off my student loans. Yay.

Fun fact in scotland our tuition fees are normally around $2500 a year and if you're a scottish citizen your tuition is covered by the government for up to 5 years of tuition. Though this also includes any years you spent to do low level qualifications at community college
Our student loans are actually just living costs loans. The minimum you're elligible for is around $650 a month and this goes up with some of the loan waived if your parents make less than $60k a year or therabouts.
Also when it comes time to repay the loan there is no interest on it and you're under no obligation to start paying it back until you're earning over a certain amount per year. At which point it comes off as a low percentage of your monthly pay automatically like taxes. Oh wait u guys dont have ur taxes done automatically either lol

The worst part of college is the filler courses that only exist to get more money out of you that know they're useless and make up for that by giving 10 courses worth of useless homework every single day.
In order:
1) Find the state school--not the prestigious place--that has the program you want.
2) Find out what pre-reqs they want.
3) Get those pre-reqs out of the way at the nearest Community College while you work a service job. Those jobs are easy to get with experience and tipped ones pay well.
4) Transfer when you're ready, but leave the job on good terms if you have to move.
5) Get settled into your new school and find a comparable job to the one you left.
6) Finish the degree.
7) Stay put or go home depending on your job prospects/major.
8a) If you'll need postgrad work, go to the prestigious place now.
8b) If you just have to job hunt and need to go home to save money while you do, check back in with the old employer.
9) Be good to your parents. Do more around the house than you used to. Tell your parents you love and appreciate them.
10) Slowly retreat from bursts of effort job hunting as you take on more responsibilities at the good ol' job.
11a) You'll eventually find a good job that makes as much use of your work experience as your degree.
11b) You'll end up running the good ol' job.
12) Make peace with either. You'll be okay.
13) Care for and cherish your time, health, and the people around you.

haha as a high school senior with no plans for college I %100 agree. I keep getting teachers who are like "I hope you change your mind" and it drives me crazy. I have a job. I'm going to do that job and I'm doing great, thanks. yeah the expectation to go to college is pretty dumb lol
@atlanticamnesia5139 If someone is paying for your tuition,then they should ask about school. If not they should mind their business. I had a "wonderful" therapist who kept saying that I "wouldn't be happy or successful without a college degree". Meanwhile it's too expensive for me and I never really liked the idea of college anyway.
Hey me 2 lol went from a 4.5 GPA student in high school to failing literally my one class I was taking haha.
@@mitch5944literally me too! I hated the few semesters I spent at college and am so far in debt. .... College sucks for sure
Same here! Flunked almost every class my first year except like 1 class. Maybe 2. Mental health was terrible. Rather just get money lol
I hate college rich kids so much! my roommate kept complaining about how poor she was so I thought she was worse off than me but turns out her mom paid her whole tuition and she just felt bad using her mom’s credit card to buy groceries 😀 the shock I had that day. She was also surprised I didn’t have a savings account and told me to “just put a little money aside even like $1k it’ll be good for you.”
Keep whining about being poor and one day your kids will be able to do the same
What do people mean by "college rich kids" anyway? If you're rich you don't have to work so why go to college?
Maybe their parents are actually wealthy but the college students sure as hell aren't, why study and/or work if you're already fucking wealthy?!
Best way to describe “college rich kids” is they typically dont have part time jobs, parents are financially set and readily available to pay for the needs and some wants the kids have, their parents also typically pay for the loans, and overall have no grasp of how much things are worth. Its basically college on easy mode. Without most adult responsibilites, college is dumd fuck easy.In my 6 years, ive only met a couple “rich college kids” that were genuine people who didnt just get bankrolled through college, and they were all children of people who did extremely well in trades . As far as why they do to college, its because the parents need to believe their kids are doing something, and the kids have been told their whole life to go to college
@@devilsoffspring5519 some still want to have some kind of career instead of riding off their parents coattails im guessing
@@ericbeaudry8118This comes off like your jealous of them and the "college rich kids" didn't actually so anything wrong. Plus this doesn't put college on easy mode, having a part time job or no car just makes it harder.
I was art education so most classes in the visual arts building…hated the business majors lol.

As someone who graduated college with dual honors degrees, I really want to encourage high schoolers to consider two year/community colleges or trade schools. Please please PLEASE don't throw your money into a scam like four year colleges unless you are 100% certain you want to pursue a higher degree like a masters, law degree, medical degree, etc.
And make sure you know which degree you want with backup plans! I wasted about 2 years in uni figuring out what I wanted to do when I could have been taking gap years working full time.
100% this. You get the same education as a university, with fewer fees and less bullshit. No point in throwing your money away to those institutions for basic classes.
unrelated but aziraphale.
And also if the med degree thing doesn’t pan out, give yourself grace. It isn’t the end of the world even though it feels like it. Pivot and survive to thrive, my friend. Sincerely, a STEM grad whose life got thrown way off course bc trauma.
I'm doing chemical engineering and 4 years straight at a university. I am definitely the outlier of this video cause I'm getting a job straight out. It definitely sucks that so many others have a shit time out of school
the job must be at your father’s company
@@fearlesstaymany STEM companies will seek out new hires to brutally underpay right out the gate, it’s not rare
I was making $15 an hour prior to graduating. After getting my bachelor's, I got a job which required my degree and was making $18.5 an hour. Yeah, it wasn't much more pay but the work life balance of the job was amazing. Any low wage high school diploma job is soul (and back) crushing. My bachelor's job allowed me to completely make my own schedule and I could just chill at home most days. Obviously, I wanted more pay though, and after finishing grad school, I now make nearly double what I was making before. Definitely think it was worth it. I have no idea how else I would be making the amount of money I do at my age without going to college.
Considering all the panic attacks I’m having about college, and the fact I recently learned I can go into my field without a degree, I’m about to drop out. The guilt has been eating me alive but this video helped me feel less awful. Thanks for putting a smile on my face! Keep making amazing videos man ❤

As a 5 year old who has invested big time into the stock market, went to a community college to train on how to find cool looking things in the sandbox and then went to an actual university to then find out depression is a thing(and so is thoughts and a conscience) to then get drunk with the boys which would soon make me look like I just got out of the shower whilst singing “Baka Mitai” whilst also crying uncontrollably, I find this relatable.
7:40 WHAT IS HE SAYING HERE-
School shootings h can tell by the photos and the letter s being used and how long it’s bleeped
I think doing community college first is helpful depending on your major and what you plan to do and where you plan to go. There are benefits to getting out of your parent's house and getting exposed to a lot of new people and new ideas, and if the major is one that gets progressively harder over time, having that pre-existing support structure can make or break you passing class.
This long form video was absolutely brilliant.
These are all valid points, but as an upcoming college sophomore, I just experienced one of the best years of my entire life, and I don't think I'll ever regret immediately going to a four year college after high school. It's not the path for everyone, but if it is, it *really is.* I was happier than I've been in YEARS, and it's because I was enveloped in an environment surrounded by people my age with common interests, had access to a fascinating education and resources, a beautiful community and campus, and so many fun, interesting people and events. So basically, all this to say, if you're planning on going to college, all of what Big Tugg said is pretty much true, but if you think college is the right thing for you, those things will be minor issues in the overall picture :) (other than the debt, that is defo an issue, but just be smart with your goals)
What degree are you going for?
Just never take an Introduction to Business class while also taking driving lessons with Oscar Bravo. Most hellish time of your life ever.
Come back to this thread in 2028 and we'll see
As someone who's getting a communications degree because it's the best degree for my dream job the fact you have one makes me both nervous and excited for what I'll experience.
Currently in college
1. The people here are literal demons, they won't stop screaming for no reason
2. 8 very loud people crammed in one dorm room does not make me slightly happy to live here
Lack of etiquette regarding common laundry rooms was and continues to be the bane of my existence. People will leave their stuff in the dryers in my building for hours. The longest time anyone ever left their stuff is indeterminate because they never came back for it. What in the hell. I go to the laundromat now instead.
Went to a community college while in High School that was fully paid for by my High School due to a STEM program. Then went to a University for 2 years and was paid by Financial Aid and got a degree in computer science. Now I'm making the big bucks before AI comes and gets me
Most RAs at my college are pretty chill so I got lucky I guess(people basically said that any strict RAs loosen up really quickly as it’s more stressful to be strict than anything), but my RA for one semester straight up told us that if we don’t want something to be reported, don’t have it in plain sight. If it’s seen, it has to be reported, but if it isn’t, it doesn’t have to be and it’s not worth the trouble for them to search 40+ people’s rooms since they have classes and hobbies as well.
Incredible! I was too nervious and broke to go to college. Seeing everyone I knew end up in massive debt while I joined the military, I just feel bad. Now the military pays for my degree. (Not saying it is a good path, but it is a cheaper one). I just think everyone should take a few years for their brain to fully develop before going.
Something I'm thinkin about forreal not huge fan of war and shit cause I'm a hippie but shit it pays for my school and gives me something to do with my life so
we in the uk have pretty similar experiences at uni, With the singular biggest difference being that you pay a percentage of the money you make over 26k a year, and the debt is wiped after a long ass period of time if you never pay it. I would never suggest you go to uni unless you 1. Genuinely love, or know you will pursue that career for many years to come, and 2 .Are choosing a degree that will actually lead to a career as allot of them are just created to spung of the government. And yes, you can learn pretty much everything from uni for a fraction of the price in a much more condescend period of time online, but almost know one does that cuz they want the socialization and party's.
If I could go back in time, I wouldn't (lol), but only because I met my husband at my first college (took three schools and 5.5 years - with a semester off - to get the dang BA).
But that aside, if I could, I'd go to my local community college and also work at some dumb minimally paid internship or apprenticeship, then reassess my plans/dreams once I completed the Associate degree. I'd probably then attend an in-state school (my parents covered what they could, but I went to a private and then an out-of-state public university) to avoid debt, and study something that really roused my curiosity - whether or not I already had a knack for it - and actually just focus on studying for learning's sake.
I freaking hate the laundry room in my dorm because there are always some dipshjt that will STOP MY FCKING WASHING MACHINE, UNLOAD MY WET CLOTHES, AND SHOVE THEIRS IN, AND CONTINUE WASHING FOR FREE SINCE I HAVE PAID FOR THAT WASH CYCLE. I have set timers and come back to a wet pile of clothes on the floor so many freaking times, and no security or floor master cared enough to investigate it.
As a french person, your impression of French ppl was rly good, also, I'm in college in France, and I don't relate to a lot of things in this video but it was pretty funny
I love the longer videos Tugg! I went to a STEM school (African dad, high standards) and I felt every bit of this
Nothing like watching this while I'm waiting for my clothes to dry in my dorm's shitty ass, hot, un-airconditioned laundry room.
In high school, my grandpa was the mascot of the school, the blue devil, and I forgot what he did but he started a big old tradition there that had to do with fire lol.
My high school had TWO mascots. A ladyhorn and a longhorn. Apparently the ladyhorn stepped into the longhorns turf and he didn’t like it and they hate each other? Ironically the mascots were a couple. At a pep rally they got into a fist fight. An ACTUAL fight. It took ten teachers to seperate them (four for the girl and six for they guy) because it looked like they were actively trying to kill each other. Turns out the guy forgot their three year anniversary and it was the last straw for the girl lmao.
that knuckle crack at 5:10 was ominous.
ETA: Culinary major, you nailed it on the head. There are a LOT of cooking skills people just don't know, but knowing it will make real life a hell of a lot tastier. As for the final, it's usually a dinner service or something.
I love watching him trying to keep it together for the green weevil part
bro was strugglin
EDIT: for the major roasting part you did my cs major pretty well I appreciate it
EDIT 2: and yes, community colleges are OP and I highly recommend. The one I go to even allows high school students like me to start college 2 years early so I will be basically a sophomore in college when I graduate.

It could be worse. We had a vending machine in the Laundry room at my dorm, and someone managed to get into it and steal a bunch of stuff like chocolate bars, and sodas, then opened them, threw them in a dryer for a while, and somehow thought it was cool and funny. He was kicked out by the end of the day, because somehow, even though there were signs, he forgot not only that there were cameras, but that you had to use your student badge to scan into the room, so they knew exactly who it was.
i was in an accredited culinary program. our finals vary depending on the class. my final for advanced pastry arts was to make a tiered wedding cake based on a color theme, with tasting cupcakes, a filling, and some other components. We were graded on a few things - like we needed to have all of the components, needed to fit the theme. Then we were graded on things like texture (so for example if you overmixed your batter, the cupcakes are tough and not fluffy). Presentation - if you had fondant, was it smooth or full of rips? same for buttercream. Did you make the buttercream correctly? did it split? Lots of stuff. I wouldn't say you need to go to culinary school to have a career as a cook. if you want to do that. :)
The best decision I made after high school was to go to a community college and later make the decision that college wasn't for me. Saved me a lot money.
As a young gen z (2004) i made the decision to not go to college and focus starting my own business. Basically i work on motorbikes and cars and sell them online. It's been almost a year and i can definitely say i made the right decision and saved the money i would've otherwise wasted into my bank account, investments, and back into my business.
The toughest part is that i don't see people my age at all and it really sucks. I'm an extrovert and i don't usually get the chance to interact with or make friends with people my age other than on discord. We are facing a demographic crisis atm. Less and less people are being born nowadays due toba rising cost in living and college is really the only haven for young people to meet other young people.
Socializing is pretty important but there are definitely workarounds. Like i said, discord is a surefire way to meet people your age but they'll be all over the world and the timezones might be all wonky especially if you're not EST.
Also face to face connection is still and always will be important for mental health. One way to do so is to just go for walks or jogs around your neighborhood and just give a friendly hi or wave to people who seem close to your age. This is especially useful if you have a dog. In general it's just a friendly gesture and most people don't usually have someone say hi to them these days so it'll make them feel good and like you more. If you do this regularly enough to the same people, they'll surely get chummy enough to talk to you.
Another great way to meet people your age is to go to events where there's gonna be alot of young people. For me, there's a theme park very close to where i live and i've met alot of my friends there. That might not exactly apply to you but there are many other community events you can participate in.
It's june so it's pride month so if you're gay or lesbian or bisexual or even if you're straight it's a great way to make friends and socialize with people your age and have some common interest or even just have fun and enjoy yourself and all around the vibes are good.
Bars and clubs might also work too. I mean hey, in all likelihood you were gonna get hammered in college anyway. The key is just to open up.
If you're leaving high school and you're not sure if you want to go to college, don't feel pressured to go right after high school. You have time. Don't rush. Feel free to take a break year or 2 to figure out what you really want to do. Living with your parents after high school is underrated and in all likelihood if your honest with them they'll be chill about letting you stay with them depending on how strict they are. Worst case scenario you can take a job at subway or something and have enough to afford a few roommates.
Use your break year to figure out what you want to do and whether or not college is really necessary for that skill. We live in the age of information and basically any in demand skill can basically be learned for free on youtube.
You don't even necessarily need to start a business like i did. TH-cam content for instance is an extremely in demand market and probably will continue to be for the foreseeable future. You can learn video editing and try to get hired by youtubers to edit their videos. From what i know video editing is not very difficult to learn and will get you started working online with content creators and can open a world of networking with creators with already big audiences. At the very least it's a great side hustle and will give you a good portfolio.
Videography is also another skill that's relatively easy to learn on youtube. All you really need is a few months of knowledge and some equipment. If you live in or around decently big urban area, you can film music videos for young aspiring rappers and musicians in your city. These musicians need to get their content out there and the best way to do it is with music videos. These can work as freelance or specialize with one or a group of artists.
If you already have skills that you just do for fun like drawing or music, you can absolutely use that to your advantage. If you love to draw, and especially if you're really talented, hone in on those skills even more and leverage them for other creators. There's this channel named "The Histocrat". He makes videos about ancient history and he hires artists to draw visual representations of life during those time periods. Many creators can use your skills for more visual appeal.
If you wanna delve into the realm of animation, many big and medium sized animation channels hire other animators to do inbetweens to make life easier for them and so they can make videos at a faster and more efficiently. The same thing may also apply to 3D animation with softwares like Blendr.
If you're really into music, you can hone more into production and composition skills and make beats for rappers or collaborate with other musicians. All of these come with networking perks.
Even more complex skills like programming or computer hardware can be learned on youtube. It might take a few years rather than months to really get it down but compare 4 years of practical learning and youtube to 4 years of practical learning, plus tests and assignments, minus a few thousand dollars.
These are all just off the top of my head. The key is to think outside the box. If you have something you're even vaguely interested in, chances are there is a very marketable skill associated with that you can learn for free online.
Even tho many of us gen z don't remember a time before the internet alot of us still have this old gen x mentality of going to college to get a degree that you'll put on your resumé to get hired by a big company that you'll work at for the rest of your life and use the money you make from that job to someday pay off your college debt when the new paradigm allows for way more freedom and flexibility than that.
There are of course exceptions to this like if you want to become a professional athlete or a doctor, or a lawyer or an engineer or a professor then yes, you legally have to get a degree, but for the most part, employers are not really looking for a piece of paper with the name of a fancy academic institution on it, they're looking for practical skills that can be immediately useful to them.
Like he said in the video trade schools and community colleges are great alternatives. You'll learn practical hands on skills for a low price and possibly even for free. But for the most part, most people who are going to college don't need to.
College is a bubble. In the US and Japan (not sure about everywhere else in the world) college is heavily subsidized by the government just like the housing bubble before the 2008 crash and same will likely happen with college in the near future.
Don't just go to college because your parents and friends are pressuring you to. How you prepare yourself for the workplace and what line of work you eventually go into is entirely a personal decision. Who knows, you might find you saved a few thousand dollars. good luck to everyone out there.
As someone born in 2005 this is very helpful because I'm still deciding whether to go to college or not.
Bro wrote a whole book😂.
I wish I was as brave as you. Anytime I brought up the idea of a gap year my parents were always apprehensive so I just accepted that I had no choice but to go to university
How's it feel being in your last year of teenage years? I sometimes think huh that's pretty strange time flies but then I'm glad I get to live another day lucky if I live another year

Before this video started playing, I got an ad for college
Hi everyone, I’m going to community college right now. Every adult out of college that I tell about this says 1 of 2 things: “you are a genius” or “that’s what I should’ve done” Here are some of the many benefits I get:
-Significantly cheaper tuition cost for the same gen eds as any other college in the US
-Smaller, more intimate classes where all of my teachers know and care about me
- The ability to explore classes and electives to find what it is I want to do in life
- 2 extra years to decide what I want to study
- pretty easy classes and forgiving class times (earliest class starts at 11, classes end at 1:45 daily except for wed when I have a lab)
- a LOT of free time to enjoy hobbies
- more time with family
- many many more
Feel free to ask questions, I would 1000% advocate for going to community college instead of committing to a college that wants to suck all your money out of you. I do plan on transferring to a regular college after my 2 years, but I’ve saved so much money already.

As a fellow communications graduate, I feel your pain. I ended up having to go back to school to get certifications to work in my current field. The first 4 years of my degree were essentially a giant waste of money.

@@chopitup9950 I don't speak for everyone but as French i think we don't like Americans because they seem ignorant about others cultures and they tend to believe they are the center of the world..
Plus the amount of food i see that is disrespect in american culture, French are very attached to food and our gastronomy!
Ps: this is just a vision of America we can have, i don't think this is the case of every Americans, everybody is différent and if you want to feel better, the people's French hates the most is other French people so..
@@chopitup9950 yeah I’ll tend to agree with the other comment, but also adding French bashing. Especially with what happened during WW2, even worsen by the fact that Americans truly don’t understand why France surrendered so fast and that also we really didn’t surrender, our government was just fucking bad tbf (I’m not going to bore you with a French history lesson but if you’re interested just search up Maréchal Petin and you’ll see the problem)
