College is worth it if you don't overpay for it. (I walked away from college with very little debt because of scholarships and grants.) I think college made me a very knowledgeable and dynamic software developer and it really is helpful having someone talk you through something in different ways until you understand it. I also love the experiences I got to have while being an "adult with training wheels".
I hated school with the white hot passion of a thousand suns. ADD I suppose. I somehow managed to end up working in IT and engineering. I make $80k, not bad not great. Wife and I are content, kids raised, house paid off. A few minor bills, new roof, some medical since I just beat cancer.
The right question is if student loans are worth it, learning is always worth it
Ken Coleman out there mixing it up with the people. Impressive.
Yes, it's out of the ordinary to see him out of his studio.! I want to see more of these types of videos.
love these types on interviews! Keep it up Ken! Bravo
Ken talking to the people 👏👏👏
👏🏻👏🏻 The BEST video ever Ken! Love it. Stayed through the whole video 😅
Well done Ken, this is cool. Would like to see more of the Ramsey crew out in the public making different types of content.
All my siblings make their living with their hands. I went to college because I didn't have those skills. My ROI on my undergrad and graduate degrees has been well worth what I paid. I also "own" my degrees free and clear; I paid all my student loans off years and years ago.
Good job, Ken. It would have been easy to put a bunch of people up there saying "It was awful. Never do it. IT's for the elite" but you were intellectually honest on this. You're right - it's not for everyone, nor the only way and we need to ask questions but higher ed isn't worthless.
You have access to way higher paying jobs with (a good) degree. Certain fields will lead to being a high earner no matter what. Can you be successful without a degree ? Yes. But that route can often be longer and harder. A degree is a verifiable credential. It’s good to have.
that was true for my dad and his generation
im 30 and out of all the friends i have who went to college the last 7 years.....only 1 is outta debt from college. So technically none of them are better off then me after several years of being out of college. And almost all of them make the same or less money...so was kinda pointless
Man I don’t wanna work for anyone or boss people I just want free money while I’m sleeping and Hanging out on the beach with models. 😭
I really liked the on-the-street interviews!
I LOVE this!! Please do more of these!
I’m supper iffy on degrees. Especially if your family never helped build a savings account to help pay for your college. It’s no fun graduating college and then getting a job that barely pays enough to cover your bills and seeing a large chunk of your paycheck going to student loans. At that point you don’t have any money to put toward things you enjoy, it’s all going towards making lenders filthy rich. There are jobs that require book smarts and then there are jobs that are street smart and I’d take street smart jobs over a huge amount of college debt any day.
STEM or bust
Love these types of videos.
I'd like to hear more from people who never made it to college, but became successful self-sustaining humans.
Don Peebles and Chris Gardner are my favorite people for this
I went to college and all my sisters make more money than me LOL but then again i am a teacher, i love what i do but let’s be real, i get paid crumbs
Love this change. Way to go Ken!
For what I thought I wanted, it was the only way.
But, I really needed better counseling because it wasn’t really what I wanted, and I should have known that going in.
Love this content!
Cool concept!
I like the hustle Ken!
Very well done content. I think college is worth it if you can match the degree to a direct profession. Otherwise, chart another course without college.
I'd say it's worth it if you pick the right career that's in demand or that you'll be able to find a job on
It was absolutely worth it in my case! Without it I wouldn’t be able to access the type and level of work I am doing now. Is it worth from financial point? Can’t complain, as I have enough to live and I’m very happy professionally…but to each their own! 😊

I don't regret college, cause you learn alot of knowledge
For some reason the guy with the glasses remind me of Gus from breaking bad
Didn't realize Ken was so short
I like this. Ken, you’re awesome
Like the video, but he needs to go to the burbs... downtown Nashville you going to be sampling the high end and low end of the income bell curve.
Go to college if you're in STEM. Otherwise stay clear
College wasn't worth it for the education, it was far more valuable for the networking! Elementary Education graduate now COO and CMO of two large companies!
Our student loans are interest free, and I still regret it.
It fascinating to me to see how peoples brains work and how they justify things that they don’t have actually being helpful anymore. Like I have a degree in fashion design and I make 15,000 and it paid off???? My ROI number must be too high but it seems like there’s better money at the fast food place at the corner??
Love this
Does Dave have a degree at all? What about Rachel?
Dave has a finance degree. Rachel has a communications degree.
They're both UT Vols.
Going to college to earn a piece of paper from a prestigious school to impress others and not being mindful of cost...not worth it. Going to college to actually learn something that you can apply to advance your career AND treating it as an INVESTMENT...1000% WORTH IT! I hate it when people blindly bash college...
If I got a job ( locally) that paid me $100k a year I would be 100% debt free in 3 years or less.
The 🐐!
Love all the comments on here from people trying to rationalize mediocrity as being the smart move.
What exactly do you mean by mediocrity?
@@Q.b.9378 People rationalizing to themselves why it was actually smarter to drop out of college. Because let’s face it, almost everybody attempts at least a semester of college at some point. But the ones who didn’t finish try to fool themselves into thinking it was somehow wise.
*YES PAY FOR A DEGREE IN CASH* *PAY FOR ANY QAULIFICATION OR AS MANY THINGS AS IS POSSIBLE IN CASH.* *BETTER TO BE FREE FROM SLAVERY OF DEBT*
*COLLEGE / A FOUR YEAR DEGREE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE ONLY WAY. SEARCH THINGS OUT WELL BEFORE MAKING A DECISION.*
*THE TRADES, AND ASSOCIATES, ETC, ARE EQUALLY AWESOME OR AS GOOD, DEPENDING ON YOUR LIFE PATH AND WHAT YOUR JOB FIELD REQUIRES*
*ANY LEARNING SITUATION IS MORE THAN JUST THE EDUCATION. YOU LEARN OTHER SKILLS THAT ARE TRANSFERRABLE. YOU LEARN ABOUT LIFE AS WELL*
*EVEN IF ONE DOES NOT EXACTLY/DIRECTLY WORK IN THE FEILD STUDIED, THEY ACTUALLY TECHNICALLY DO, BECAUSE THEY ACQUIRED OTHER SKILLS IN THAT IS ALLOWING THEM TO STILL FUNTION IN THE OTHER FIELD*
OK, but why are you YELLING at us? (using all caps for everything)
no college is not worth it. I am in I.T. .. I make great money and never needed a college degree to do what I do.
Amen!
I want to get into IT but have no experience. What do you recommend?
Congrats for being the first ignorant comment posted!
@@edhcb9359 when most college degrees being awarded are in the liberal arts with no means of return on investment, this guy is not wrong. College only makes sense for STEM, medicine, or law.
@@alrbredwall Wow, OK. I have a degree in business. $250k+ sales management job. My wife has a degree in Leisure Studies. $200k public sector job. I’m glad we missed your memo on STEM.🤣
I wonder how much in college loans does the fashion chick owe since 50k salary is eh.
✝️🙏
Honestly no I don't think it is. Got a degree in network engineering and it took me no where. All the tech places want people who already have experience, send jobs overseas or hire visa workers for less. No company wanted to give me chance or offer training programs and internships were basically trial runs before hiring. 3 years of my life wasted for nothing. So no I don't think it's worth it.
I have a physics degree. I had to apply to over 500 jobs online for 3 months. Barely got any interviews but got 3 offers after all that time.
Gotta still work to put your foot in the door
@@DarthVader964 I'm over it and moved on some time ago, looking into trades now.
