- Frankly, going to college just isn't necessary any more. Furthermore, experience will almost always trump a degree at this point... More and more jobs do not even necessitate a college degree. The one exception to all of this is that if you do not go to college, you have to work your face off 24/7/365.

I just graduated High School about 3 months ago and I felt like I kinda had it all planned out until the college I was going to attend became a little too expensive for me. Now I’m at home trying to figure out what it is that I actually wanna do. I’m stuck. I’m depressed, but I’ll never give up hope. I wish everyone the best.
I'm the same way. I graduated and don't know what to do. It's depressing.
Breezy Kersey same fck life bruh i dont have a goal to my life idk even why im born😣
Gilthunder 45 just a little update from where I’m at right now: I took the time to understand what it was that I wanted to do and I decided to go to college to study psychology. It’s a lot cheaper where I’m at and so far I’m enjoying it. Starting a new job soon and I’m letting my life take the wheel from there. ♥️ whatever you do, please DO NOT GIVE UP.
Sebastian Watkins 🙏 thanks for the courage
Gilthunder 45 anytime
- College won't guarantee you a job.
- Student Loans after college are really expensive.
- Too much work.
Don't want to do college? Then just *don't*
meatball sub w pepperonis same for me, it’s like university is a way for me to delay choosing what I want to do with my life. I don’t particularly want to go or to not go, because what the fuck do I do if I don’t go
Pineapple I have the same problem and my last day in high school was today
@meatball sub w pepperonis Get a job ????
meatball sub w pepperonis same bro
@meatball sub w pepperonis Real Estate is a lifestyle not a job, it is highly dominated by many many people especially after videos like these. You need to live and breath Real Estate, at the start you should be putting in 60-70 hour work weeks to start to make a living.
My highschool pushed college so hard. Like I never heard from the kids who had other plans.
Teachers at my school look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them I'm going into the Army instead of college. Then they say "Are you gonna go to college after?" And i say I want to go into sales when I get out and don't see a point for college and they think I'm dumb but I know I'll be making more money by the time I'm 25 selling than they're ever gonna make
Dylan Hale those teachers are retarded only reason I don’t like the army is that I gotta move away
Other than that, the benefits of the army is amazing
Dylan Hale one of my biggest regrets was not joining the military. I had the same issue a counselor discouraged me from going and said I’d find more success going to college (which was a fucking lie) now I’m self employed but regardless high schools keep pushing students to go to college instead of teaching or preparing them for the real world. They make it seem like college is the key to solve all your problems.
@@Westcoast10 RIGHT! I'm 26 right now, about to drop from college once this semester ends. I recently started in car sales and I'm too busy for school, plus I realized how successful I can be if I hustle. So I'm looking into getting into being a real estate agent and do car sales. My high school pushed 4yr university and that's it. I'm nearly 27 and finally facing my fear of "giving up college".
@@katieghoul0092 I’m confident you’ll be successful, as long as you hustle and stay consistent you will succeed. I was working retail up until age 23, it took a couple years after that but I was able to find success working for myself doing e-commerce. I was even able to buy my own home earlier this year thanks to it. Good luck I’m wishing you all the best!
I hated college for the same reason I hated high school. I just don't like classroom learning, grades, homework etc. I never really learned anything other than how to cram, pass tests and forget immediately after. I was always better at teaching myself with the occasional assistance of a private tutor ( all though not always necessary).
How has it worked out for you??
Was it better dropping out than going to college? because I'm planning on doing the same. I just can't do college anymore...
Yeah would love to hear how it all turned out
Also like in college we are supposed to have and study one particular major
What if I want to learn tons of things, we are glad to have youtube and online courses , also you can always buy books
I’d actually learn something instead of just focusing on getting that degree 🙄✨~
@@morningglory.213 I only have next year and I graduate, I am honestly scared and always had been and since young I've ignored the "what will I do after high school". I'm stressed, I seriously want a good high paying job but I know that I can't do college I don't want to do college, I hate class work, I hate going to class, sitting, and I most of the times I forget the next day what I've learned 😂. So idk what to do in my life once I'm done with high school and that part stresses me out a lot.
THIS is why i dont Want to go to College it Feel's like High school man but Extra Work and you have to Maintain your GPA...
By the way, "work your ass off" just means always be moving and growing. It doesn't mean always go for a 9-5 job or to cram as many hours as possible into your week. What I say is "never work hard". I know that sounds completely backwards, but, fact is, you don't want to work. Working is not what you really want to do with your life. Yoy want to find a job that is the farthest thing from work possible. For some it may be testing unreleased video games or for others it might be working 80 hours a week in construction. The point is, if you love it, it's not work. Don't ever let money conflict with what you do. Never get a job you hate to make more money.
Quantum Leap thank you for this message:) helps a lot
@Octopod you gotta try making money off both however if you're serious I don't think that's a very productive lifestyle if you're doing it ALL day
Spittin
The key is to work smart not hard. Working hard will barley keep you alive and fed for a day. But working smart will enable you to go above and beyond. And you'll gain financial freedom. There are OTHER ways to be successful than collage. And sometimes its not the most efficient way.
Exactly! Don't work to make ends meet. Rather. Explore for free.
If you don't want to go to college, you *hustle!* 💯
Hustling is part of the equation, regardless of whether you go to college or not. Either you hustle or you starve.
You went to college, you hustle !
you hustle everywhere, it's a mechanism that everything requires
Alec Lifestyle you damn right
If you go to college, you hustle after graduating while all your peers who didn’t go to scam school have a bigger advantage over you in terms of life skills😂

Reality is your personality and work ethic and ability to handle stress mean more than a degree. We are really on the verge of an education bubble pop.
NICKY MGTV 100%
Since you replied to me on here I have to say I definitely watched you at like 10k subs. Pretty crazy how far your channel has come. Keep going!
When you say education bubble pop do you mean you think people will simply lose interest in going to college? If people don't go to college what would be their differentiating factor in the work force?
Bro Cooking With Jay everyone has an interest in learning and doing more with their life. Just like when the housing bubble popped it wasn’t like people said “I don’t want to own homes” it was more about people not being able to pay on those loans so a similar thing will happen with college. I think we’re already seeing a downturn in college and people leave college to go work service industries and are gaining technical skills
Ohhh, you're talking about the student loan bubble. Yeah that's the next one.
Ah man, I wish I had seen this sooner. I have struggled for years because every single person around me told me I had to get some degree. But I swear, school was always and is still killing every bit of my happiness and creativity. It just makes me feel dead. I tried again last year to get a degree from home, but in the end I decided to just do it on my own.
Hey I know this comment is really old liek year ago, but I need someone to talk to and I find your comment is interest me, would you like to talk to me ?
If not, that's okay, I dont want to disturb someone
Same I feel you tried going for law enforcement for 1 year and didn't pass so then know I went for another year for hvac and didn't pass either so I decided to drop out and know I just decided to work a regular job and hussle 🥲

I’m 15 but at this moment I don’t want to go to college anymore due to the fact that as long as I financially sustain myself, pay my bills, have extra money if needed, and don’t stress too much on my work I’ll be happy with my life. I noticed I don’t need to be rich to enjoy my life. On the other hand I want to have more than 1 way to get multiple income without stress
agreed

Corporal Spiro facts that’s what I’m thinking but I have no idea what I want my job to be for my main income.
@Corporal Spiro trading good u wont need any job lmao but u need capital and at least 1 year of 5 hours every fucking day kinda of hard work
If you look at schools from 100 years ago, nothing changed, still someone standing in the front of the room telling you what to do, no adaptation for the modern world, in fact school was mainly used for preparation for factory working, the number one country leading the education system is Finland, and they don’t have homework, just think about that

I’m a 20 year old who dropped out of college because I couldn’t afford to go school anymore, Best decision I could have ever made. Make sure to do research on what “job” it is you want to do for the rest of your life, Majority of the time employers don’t give 2 shits on your degree, they only care about your experience. Don’t spend your time and money if there’s another path to your destination that’s better.
If you don’t mind me asking what path did you end up taking and roughly how much do you make a year?
CaliSupremeCat I was going to school for film, which in that line of work degrees are literally nothing and portfolio and Reel is everything. With that being said I found a job making 40k a year, got my self into a internship with an organization that does film work, and I do freelance on the side. I make probably 10k a year on freelance work but to be honest with you I don’t put in much time and effort as I should on my free lance work.
Glad you figured out what you wanted to pursue without a degree. I wanted to go to college and get into a stem field but shit's too expensive so my only options are to do manual labor work or become a salesman.
Reeaz Ali learn a trade like plumbing or electrical these jobs are paying 60k a year
This is my story too! I'm now working in a job that is allowing me to learn the trade I want to be in (robotics and automation). Eventually I will "retire" and have my own company in the industry! 😁
My parents are forcing me into college I’m just trying to convince them it’s not worth the $100k debt just to learn exactly what I learned in high school plus 1 major
This resonated with me so hard.
I had this conversation with my parents yesterday and they keep trying to push it
PS: I'm African so pushing it literally means PUSHING IT!!
Do what your mind tells you to, trust your gut
Mine says no college so no one changes that
MY HAPPINESS FIRST!
only about 6 classes really matter
This is my case too. What are you doing right now guys?
Same case with me, I'm genuinely tired of repeating school but in a setting where I'm an adult
Bruh i Dont Want to Go To School in The First Place id Wanna Make Connections with Successful People and connect With them and also i'd buy and Read Some Books during the Day to Educate myself etc.
I want to learn, not study. And that’s one of the main problems I have with school right now
I always felt gary’s passion from his content videos but This video i can feel that the teacher cared enough about his students to take his time to tweet him, wait for calls from gary. We need more people like him
mygoldenmonkey Thanks. That was me on the phone with Gary. This job is ONLY ever about the kids. 😊
Went to college straight out of hs. Failed. Worked at a smoke shop for a year, was depressed. Joined the military, served my time and realized college is actually good and I’m here working but also building my side hustle/passion. One advice I would give to anyone from this: MAKE CONNECTIONS AND HAVE FUN YOURE YOUNG!!!
There is so much you can do ! You do not need college! Unless you really wanna be a doctor or lawyer! But if it is only for the money. You can make money many different ways.
What about military
Police academy, firefighter, trade school etc

I absolutely love this! First off, I wish I would have had this teacher. Reynolds has been absolutely amazing for telling his students they don't HAVE to go to college. Every teacher I had in school raved on about going to college. Gary I love how you are willing to get them there to talk to all of them. This is what millenials need more of! Enough preaching college and making it an expectation! You go Gary and Reynolds!
Shoot the Shit with Kyle Thanks so much, it means a lot!
I feel like the people around me is pushing me to finish this degree just to have a peace of paper to make more money. I don't know what I really want to do far as a major. I hate school with a passion. I love entrepreneurship though.
Same ❤😔🤣❤
Ahhh I remember this guy, it was a nice touch by Gary to speak to his students
I am in college now, and I feeling depressed and a lack of motivation.
how about now? any updates?
Are you still in college ?
Update us?
This is why I am scared to tell my parents I don't have the desire to go to college I just can't do it, if I can't handle it in high school I don't think me going and trying to motivate me to doing college will work either 😂 I need to be active and creative, I don't want to waste my time learning nothing in a classroom, depressed and in debt, College isn't for me and I know it deep down but I am confused of what to do after I graduate next year I'm honestly scared because I have no one else to admire and no guidance to know either it's so stressful
Hey man, I feel sleepy and the professors talking with no energy lmao
Im 26 years old and I teach business at a college in Honolulu, HI. Related to this video and found this so valuable on so many levels. ALL ABOUT WORK. YES!
Wow love this! “You are what you create” like honestly! Put in the hard work, hustle, know that it’s going to be hard but just do it. Do what know you are capable of. Like you can do anything and most high schoolers just go to school for the grades and then go home, play X-Box and what ever but people really need to put in the hard work and do anything of they really want to do something bad enough. Of courses it’s going to be brutal if you don’t go to college. Every one know that. College would be not easier bc there is no easy way but it would help you get through the most hardest Shit of your life.
“Misery loves company” hit me like a train
Some colleges cost a lot and you still don't learn enough to get a job, even if they didn't want previous experience. Earn skills, not piece of paper that doesn't mean shit if can't guarantee you any job in the industry. Bootcamps, certificates, internships do that.
I think the rest of 18 years old also needs to hear this.. you an extraordinary man Gary
My biggest fear right now is that I am 27 now but where will I be in the next 20-30 years if all this "hustle and work hard" thing doesn't work out. I've been struggling for the last two years thinking that going to university is the best option in my case but I just don't want to but again, I am very afraid of being 50-60 and miserable for the decision I am making now.
Manuel PES CR if it don’t work out enroll in the navy
how are things for you now?
Hustle now, ball later.
been hearing that all my life and all I see is me hustling till im 60, when id have no energy nor the will to ball or whatver
I'm 15 lol I'll try
@@pursuitsoflife.6119 that's the way it goes if you work in life like the basic people, you know? like if you just go work for some company ur life gon be working all your life, but if you have a real dream like the only thing you really want in life and you do that then your life wont feel like ur hustling and working all day but it'll feel like ur just enjoying your time but obviously you need to do something with an icome if you want to be balling later.
Figure out what you WANT to do and WORK HARD AT IT... day in and day out. It's as simple as that. If what you're doing isn't worth eating shit for, then your stakes aren't high enough!
I hate how my mom is telling me to go to college and my grandparents tell me to go to college but the only one in my family that actually seems happy with where he is at the current moment is my dad who didn’t go to college. I wish I could just leave with no responsibilities and just surf maybe work here and there at a golf course that I’m working at. Life seems so pressured to go to college and fuck man why can’t I just cruise and see what happens. My moms side is like go to college!!! I know I won’t be happy. Life is fucked man.
How happy are you scale 0-10?
Sir Jaquan Jason tbh probably a 5 I don’t have someone to really be happy with other than my 2 homies that I surf with. When I’m with them and out there I’m like an 8 or 9 like nothing could bring my mood down. I don’t have a girlfriend to hang out with and now I’m working so much I feel like I can’t really spend time with friends anymore. Idk I don’t think I’m depressed but this is some of the only times I’ve actually expressed how I felt about it to anyone.

I graduated in May of 2022. Right now I’m taking college classes and something doesn’t sit right with me. I don’t see a purpose for what I’m doing. Other hand I’m working part summer time for my City and I love working there. But I’m only summer help. I love learning new things and working for something that I can have self gratification for. I can’t stare at a computer screen and see that self gratification
Thats how I was when I was young. I had to get out there and do things. Couldn't sit behind a computer all day! Sounds like you have drive...you will be fine.
As someone who doesn’t want to attend College I’ve pressured lately by one of my parents and I can definitely agree on this 👍🙏
GARY !! SWEET GARY!! I loved when you did this!! The interview with those boys was amazing!! Love how you love!!

It's one he did a few months ago... if you search thru his videos between on Gary Vaynerchuk channel, it was like an hour long Q & A plus he did some smaller clips here and there..

Basically starting college and so far I’m just not feeling it but I tried and I just started but after 2 years I will probably see afterwards. I really like horses and if I new that I could have not done college. All I want to live in a small rural area near a town and just relax my mind.
After high school just get into an apprenticeship program and learn a trade. Or just work after high school save some money and start a small business.
Cause trade school costs money too but I just want to work at a store or as a janitor and I'm trying so hard to get a job!
@@texasjohn-mu7cd heyy whats a trade school???
Hello, whats a trade school? Can u explain pls??
amanda google works great! A trade school is pretty much a place where you go learn a specific skill. Wielders, electricians, and other things. The careers usually pay well but it’s not for everyone.
Trade schools are a waste of time. Better off going directly into an apprenticeship on the job
I think people should value doing their dream job, having a great time doing so and meeting great and happy / positive people who grow along with the one person, and that idea the one person has grows into a massive group of people with the same idea, and that idea then eventually grows into a mega / multi billion dollar business, which is what nearly all business should value (and I know some do), over the businesses employees only thinking about becoming wealthy and becoming wealthy only. Also, some workers think daily about becoming wealthy, (which is not a problem), but can be if they are constantly thinking of it 24/7, and that can stress out workers a lot, and make them become extremely stressed, which is not good at all.
I think all business big and small should value having a great time working as a massive or small group, creating ideas that grow into something bigger, and having a great time doing so, over becoming wealthy and only becoming wealthy.
I had a friend with very big aspirations, but he is still in college. Every day, he is so busy that he can't even make time to talk to me. Instead of seeing him even getting closer to achieving his dreams, I instead see him getting closer to working a 9-5 job. That choice isn't inherently bad and all, but I'm honestly a bit disappointed with the benefits of college. I made it my mission, as a high schooler who almost graduated, to not take his steps.

I hate college so much but I’ve been here for 3 years already and I’m not even half way done. I feel like I’ve been wasting my life away 😕 is it still worth it to drop out ?
Tbh if you feel like that then I think you realize ur not happy so dropping out may be the solution
Hell yes
Yeah

Shario Snowfur Same here, ive always wanted to something creative but been put down. CHASE YOUR DREAMSSSSS
It’s possible without a degree actually
Same... Is college necessary for animators? 😭
@@chocomilkfox Check out videos by Ethan Becker, which should also lead you to others in or around the animation industry. They talk a lot about improving your art, portfolio, etc. outside of studios, classes, etc. and how to get places with no degree.
Now both parents and kids are thinking about this topic at this point because of the crisis.
I personally think we should go to college if you have the money and know what your passion is, that way you can meet other people who have the same passion and can build together and find connections that can open doors for opportunities to come in
Exactly like I have the money to go to college I just don't feel like it why would I put myself through something I hate from the beginning just to do it over again or to make my parents proud fuck that and fuck college
Hes right about no one cares and you need work hard but he’s missing that some people will shun you and shit on you if you don’t do what they think is right, like going to college I got shunned for dropping out of college even though I was making a decent amount of money. Continually working and growing my income sources.
Thank you. very inspiring videos. God bless and accompany this video so that many people see and it is a blessing for everyone.
4 semesters of college and I stopped showing up half way through each of them. Not for me
May I ask what do you do now or trying to pursue?
We need more teachers like this dude.

Dude I don't it's easy
You can also hustle and go to uni. Though im studying im already working a lot, because you can't just rely on your degree.
I can win the game of life without going to college
nice 👍
Yes
Did you go to college now ? Or ...
The game is rigged, I wouldn’t play at all.
Honestly , college is just so subjective , to some it may be the best , for others it’s the worse
There’s also exceptions , like you need a medical degree if you want to be a surgeon or anything that’s actually so important with so little margin of error
I freaking love Reynolds!! I watch both of your channels and this video made my entire day!

I need some help here... I’m a fairly smart student in highschool taking all honors and AP classes, currently a sophomore (15 turning 16 years old this year). Schools about to end in a month and I have 2 AP exams going on. All the stress is on me right now and it’s forcing me to take a look at everything around me. Do I really want to go to college? I don’t have a goal and I have absolutely no clue what to do if I were to finish college. I do however have other interests outside of academics and college. I’m interested in streaming video games, cooking, trading etc. My parents say it’s a waste if I don’t go to college because of how smart I am and to an extent I agree but wtf am I going to do other than stressing myself for another 6-8 years, accumulating college debt, and most importantly wasting time. I’m so close to the real world and I’m worried about fucking myself over. I just don’t want to be working a 9-5 job for the rest of my life but I might have to if I don’t come up with a choice soon. I don’t have many interests too, what if they don’t work out? Will I just work in McDonald’s or something for the rest of my life? It’s 3 AM, I feel like I’m in a shitload of shit rn, just letting my thoughts out.
SendNuke its 6am rn and Im in your EXACT spot lets talk Im having a crisis too :/
Ella Hernandez sure let’s talk, you wanna do it here or do u have a discord or insta?
SendNuke dude I’m 18 and I kid you not I don’t know what the fuck I want to do. I graduated high school. My family says I’m smart. All I want to do is surf. I also enjoy cooking but I’m in the same boat as in not wanting to go to school. I just went to school for 12 years and I never wanted to. Why would my family think that I know what to do in my life. I literally don’t know man. I just fucking hate how pressuring it is. Like how in the flying fuck would I know what I want to do for the rest of my life or the next 15 years. I hate school I hate everything about the system but I love surfing with friends and enjoying the real world. I don’t want to sit in a cubicle from 9-5. I want to surf but fuck you cant make money for shit. I feel like everything that I enjoy doing has no benefit to the real world. Idk man I’m in the same boat as you and wish shit was easier.
Ian Hopp what you can do is take a gap year, get a part time/full time job and use all the extra time to explore any slight interests you might have that could possibly financially support you in the future. Don’t use the gap year to fuck around with your friends the whole time, be productive and creative. Hey maybe you can start a TH-cam channel or something. Also reminder, hobbies and jobs are 2 different things, I don’t know if you can earn enough from surfing. If you don’t wanna go to school, then don’t go because you’re only going to waste your time there. Education takes commitment to do, and if you don’t enjoy it then why do it? Sure you MIGHT get the major but after you get that job you’ll feel miserable because that isn’t what you wanted. You might not even use the major after wasting 4-6 years completing it. Then again you have to take a grasp at reality and realize that you may have no choice to financially sustain yourself in the future. So take GAP YEAR/YEARS, however long you may need but be realistic to yourself.
Same bro I feel u 😔
4 years out of school and I'm still figuring out wtf to do. So many things I had planned went wrong.
Same boat. I graduated high school back 2018 but still doesn't have a clue if college is for me. But seems like I don't have choice.
What if you dont know who you are and what your good at?
I'm 20 years old and I been to my community college for almost 2 years and I really want to tell my mom I don't want to do college anymore because it just stresses me out and my anxiety goes with so much work being pilled up and up and it's worse that I have severe depression I been really thinking about dropping out of college so I could just work and make my own money i also want to move in with my gf she's in dallas and she already has a job and so I want to be with her while working together and just making money together I just don't know how to tell my mother about how I feel any thoughts and suggestions???
Skiellarr Wilson My dude I’m 19 and the thought of college with loads of work with stress and anxiety building up kills me lol. College isn’t for me at all so if you think making your own money with your girl is the path you chose go for it.
Cozy thank you dude ! And I totally agree it’s a lot stress on me that I shouldn’t be stressing about
Skiellarr Wilson this is a month late my friend, but I want to respond because your story is VERY similar to mine. I went to community college and one semester in university, after which I dropped out. It just wasn’t for me. I’ve never been book smart, I was never a great student, I have ADHD and had depression and anxiety, I had to call it quits. If you know your alternatives, then you can drop out. It could be an issue since many people don’t even know why they go to college and just go because their high school told them to go. Once I finally went I realize that I was just wasting time and money. Do what you think is best my friend. Cheers
Bob Muller thank you so much for this comment and I’m following my gut with dropping out from college
Skiellarr Wilson good luck friend, make sure you know your alternatives. The decision for me made my life better since I was just miserable in college. I feel so much better now! Cheers! 😄✌🏻
I’m 19, and this just suddenly popped in my mind today. Before I wanted to go to college to take Entrepreneurship, Economics, and Engineering. But as much as I enjoy these courses, I’m not sure I want to make a career out of them. So why go to college then? All I would get is huge debt with a degree I probably wouldn’t even use. Honestly, I’d rather work a job that I enjoy to make a living, and move on from there going forward. I enjoy what I do now, and currently that is working as a grocery stocker. I make decent pay and can easily save money
My dream is to have a creative business where I can make music and inspire people. Unfortunately I have a hard time believing in myself and I keep signing up for school for psychology because it is another thing I'm interested and could see myself doing, it just feels like I'm giving up on a dream that I never even really started, or maybe I'm just changing directions and that's okay? I don't know man, I don't have any debt so that makes it easier...I just wish I could make money making music and for that to be enough.
Same. Only reason I went to school was to have enough free time in the future. I wish I did something I enjoyed now
The problem is you can’t do something’s without a degree and if you don’t want to go to college but want to be something like a doctor your basically fucked because u need a degree to do that and if you don’t want to go to college then you can’t be a doctor it’s fucked up bro
yeah right!
This is very very confusing as someone who is interested in a lot of things and not being very good at any
i feel that oof
Any advice on what I should do if I am currently at college, but I have no real direction, but I have a ton of passion for things that they aren't willing to teach me. here, or anywhere else for that matter, how should I go about planning out my future if I am currently in an undesirable situation?
Hunter Tangwall -what’s skills do you have
Says the trust fun baby!
6:12 the way he said "RENALDS" 😭
College is trash, waste of your valuable time, plus think of this way, Can biology help u to get money or doing stupid essays. ITS ALL CORRUPTED. Learn a trade get some experience in something u like to work on, and make it into a legit company, its all about hustle. Im 22, I spent 1 year in college, didn’t learn anything to make money. Thank god he opened my eyes im dropping off from college.my last semester and BYE Bye. Time to be successful. Hustle Guys..👊🏻
The job market shift means a lot more small business owners. Jobs are starting to become a thing of the past. Why get a degree that will maybe impress some doughebag?
Waiting for the next show with the kids. It's soo amazing to see you Gary. Love you man.
Rahil Ahmad it’s already out, it was amazing and Gary changed their lives. I’m forever grateful. Here’s the link th-cam.com/video/EGw1FRfHmnc/w-d-xo.html I also have more video of our journey on my channel if you want to see more.
Real Rap With Reynolds hey man,i'll see it. Thanks
I’m not ready for your permission. I’m getting it. I’m doing it on IG. I’m grinding and pushing with my content. I trust in your advise and hustle. I know it will help me on my path.
COUNTIZZEE what fo youbdo on I.G.?
Do you need him permission?
What about if you have anxiety though. Reply for the people who struggle...
It’s neither spots for me so I’m 17 in this weird position where my parents want the world for me and I’m grateful for it all, however it almost cripples me because I’ll have to give up my fake reality to drop to rock bottom and then turn around and not push them away but still work on my self. Idk it gives me a migraine because I had a plan and got told not to get a job and focus on school witch through out the plan and now I get the comment I need a job but I don’t get the time back. So it just irritates me and I would love some feedback before I graduate it’s this really silly situation that sucks. Remember if you’re going through a rough spot God loves you even when no one else does. Just go open up the Bible to a random page and just read it for yourself it helps me now and then👍
i was horrible in school but manage to find my carrer.. welding and im happy so i guess im good
3:37 “literally” literally doesn’t mean literally anymore, “literally” literally means “Seriously”... like seriously?(literally) how does that literally (seriously) happen?
It's because people
1) like drama and hyperbole,
2) are smarter than computers and dictionaries that can't react well to tone, context, novelty, etc.
I want to drop out and start a business but what business do I start?
thats something you should figure out before you drop out. Find out what you love/care about. Find a way to establish a business plan, find a way to monetize.
I heard online route is something to consider
Colin I
Consulting is great aswell
you want to drop out because you want to start a business but you don’t even know what business you want to start?? stay in school.
I got in to Cornell University, but now I’m thinking that I do not want to go. If I attend, I must pay up to $70,000 a year including rent and tuition. Is it worth it? That’s $280,000. People have fallen into the illusion that you need to go to college and that if you go to an Ivy League school you will be set for the rest of your life, but they don’t understand how to work hard or the expense of college. They are just used to their parents paying for everything. I went to a prep highschool under a wrestling scholarship and basically the entire class never worked a real job, or if they do, they work 2 hours a day for little ice cream shop in their town. Last summer, I balanced 2 part time jobs, one landscaping and the other at a pizzeria, sometimes I would even end up working both on the same day. I have the work ethic to accomplish anything and I know what I want to do. I am going to open a gym and train people. Right now I have a job working banquets at a country club and I will be making $33,000 minimum a year. After 4 years, while everyone else is at college and in debt, I will have at least $120,000. The gym will cost no more than $100,000, so after that, I will maintain a growing revenue with the gym and continue working at the country club, increasing in my position. I am willing to do this. I don’t want to sit in a classroom and stress about my education for the next 4+ years. What do you think? Is this sustainable?
damn those kids are so lucky😂😂
What a kick ass teacher! Bravo man! We need more teachers like this guy! 🙌🙌🙌
Hustle Hustle Hustle errrrdayyy 🔥🔥🔥
Just do what you like & make some money and stick to it! Don’t ever compare just do you!
Well if your that type of person that don’t have no motivated to take the time to study and learn on your own then in my opinion, I highly suggest that u go to college so that u get help, u have network, and make connection.
I have a question and I want YOUR answer to it. I'm lost and I have talents but none I'm passionate about. I've fucked up, wasted time , disappointed family and friends but more importantly myself, I've made promises to myself and broke them and I want it to end. I need some form of solid advice.
how are you doing now 3 years later ?
i think college is pushed to hard on people if you dont want to go or arent sure if you want to you can always wait to go or not even go
yeah but its like if i don’t go to college what do i do? i’ll get a job but still
I have a college degree (Business Admin) and I consider it to be worthless. I have achieved very high levels of success but I think I would be a lot further if I had skipped college.
@@sixfiguresyndicate if u didn’t go to college what would u do instead?
Reynolds: I want you to talk with my kids directly
Gary: *aight Bring the fukin bus over*
I'm skipping the PSAT rn.....
Man. It’s weird but cathartic to be told no one gives a fuck about me. Everyone says they do, but the actions don’t match. The reality is I’m on my fucking own and I make or break myself.
What is the episode with those kids? It already happened?
Bruno Levi It did th-cam.com/video/EGw1FRfHmnc/w-d-xo.html it was amazing. Much love to Gary for doing that for my boys, it changed some of their lives. I have some other videos about it on channel if your interested.
Real Rap With Reynolds thanks my man. I checked some of them, amazing to see, congrats!!
Gary is sharp af
Gonna have to edit this down for the class.
So many value in this one video
