Should you go to college? Of course, you're absolutely nothing without a college degree. Plus, the best way to get ahead in life is by starting out behind in $100K of debt.
This is Sally.
Sally has a bachelors liberal arts degree and is currently $40k in debt. She works at Starbucks and makes approximately $25k a year. She believes anyone who did not go to college and has anything less than a 4 year degree is essentially worthless. This month she cannot pay her electric bill.
This if Frank. Frank went to trade school to learn to be an electrician. He has no debt and makes approximately $80k a year. he just turned off Sally's electricity she couldn't pay for.
35K$ a year is a lot of money. Sally should consider being less extravagant
@@sofitocyn100 no its not, you should look at rent prices. its a lot for starbucks pay though, probably more like 30k/year
@@bradhaines3142 yeah 30k is likely more acurate.
@Small Business Defense I live in france, very comfortably with 700 e a month in a major city. my place is very small and I don't go to the restaurant. Fair enough. But I don't need the money you make to be happy and live well. To each their own...
@@sofitocyn100 ok so the socialist ways your country go by work great for you guys, but Americans have much lower taxes, and we like it that way. also the way our government does things is incredibly wasteful and they spend 3x the money to do the same thing as a private company, which the private company does 5x better (faster, higher quality, just every way possible) and thats why people dont want the government to do things, because they burn too much of our money already. anyone who thinks differently doesnt have a clue how much money the government wastes.
as for income, that makes sense. but youre talking /month, i stated /year, so scale that down lol.
Wait.... you’re saying my degree in lesbian dance theory won’t get me a six-figure income?
No, you need to have a degree in lesbian political dance economics for that kinda money.

Equally part of the problem are those jobs that require a degree that you clearly don't need one for.
Derek Bamford , I think he's talking about those useless degrees in the liberal arts. There are some jobs that have a discipline that needs the structure of college. One would be accounting, having said that, when it comes to being an entrepreneur I don't think it's that necessary.
Barry Taylor , Antifa people are college educated, but trained for nothing useful, and hold a lot of debt. I don't blame them for being angry, but they're angry at the wrong people!
That is a problem, but one of the main reasons that is the case is because schools colleges and universities often pay gov to mandate that people must be their customer to get that degree to work in that job. The companies usuallly just want the potential employee to be able to do the job properly and do not care about a degree when they kno its useless, they just require it cuz gov requires it.
Derek Bamford
It’s a money-making scam job.
Fake degrees like that are an insult to real education.
The idea of studying to get a degree in general is an insult to the eternal quest for knowledge.

It's not what their heart desires.lol. And who cares what you think??
@@ASmith-jn7kf @A. Smith Are you ED? Clearly there are people who go to college to become a doctor or a politician nurse etc because it what they're heart desires, unless your one of those rtards who got a liberal arts degree to brag about finishing college and then complain about being and debt working a job you can get without a degree which you paid so much for when college is best for STEM related field or otherwise better to learn a trade or work a job you can enjoy and pays the bills . I know people who love working in McDonald's and good for them I also know salesmen no degrees making 100k+ a year and also know people who people who make decent money and are fine with what they got, but just because you seem to hate your job doesn't mean the rest of the world does too and maybe go talk to people and learn something in the real life world and realize not everyone is miserable as you and enjoy working the job you look down on. And clearly you seem to care what I think because your over here responding a year later you bozo lol
Yeah its great people go £50k into debt to end up in some retail wagie job or an awful entry level dead end office job where they earn £30k a year they then cry they have no money and can't pay back the student loans. These people will also get on the Bus I used to drive when I was a bus driver and look down their nose at you as if you're some sort of idiot because you aren't an academic or whatever. The bus driver aka me however paid sod all to get their bus license and earn 50% more than most of these clowns who've come out of college. I now have a class 1 Lorry license and earn probably double what people who've got out of university make and with all the money I've saved I've managed to get a mortgage.

Which is?

People don't understand that when education becomes a profitable business they are NOT in it for your best interests. That's why I didn't go to college.
Mr.Raj Daddy college is for followers, the latter is for leaders
@Mr.Raj Daddy Yes, let him explain. Is it in celcius?
Hugh Janis Ment that when you do what society expects you to do without a bit of rationality in it, Your'e a follower. But if you do what makes you happy and find ways to make a lot of profit of it/doing what you like with little to no profit but making profit from fairly passive sources (long term investments), your'e a leader. NOT doing what society expects you to do DOESN'T automatically turn you into a leader, but it is extremely hard to find a leader that is a sheep.
My sister and cousin aren't using what they went to college for, so they might as well have never gone. I stayed a dishwasher for over a decade but I'm about to become a high paying welder after going to a technology center for four months.
Now that's inspiration. Good shit.
There is a quote i really like, it says "go to school to make a living, or teach your self to make a fortune"
Follow your passion, create your own success. Education isn’t everything.
Passion is a feeling 5 years from now people probably won’t feel the same way they do today so basically people should just work for money even if they don’t like the job.
Education , knowledge is everything, going to school isn’t everything !!
Except if u wanna be a surgeon, then you're absolutely fucked
I agree that education isn't everything but follow your passiom is just not a good advice

Looking back I could've gone to trade school at the age of sixteen and within three years been earning £40k annually, no debt, building my own business with skills that last a life time. Instead I have a useless degree in history and a slowly expanding stomach.

$100,000 in debt? Try $300,000 for many college students.
As a former high school teacher, I used to advise my students to go to a community college for prerequisite classes unless they had a scholarship. Secondly, I recommend only moving on with a bachelor's or higher if they knew exactly what they wanted to do and that profession required a certain degree. If they were absolutely positive that they wanted to be a doctor and had the grades/skills to do it, then bite the bullet and go to the best school available. Other than that, get a job, go to trade school, etc. There are a ton of hair dressers, mechanics, etc., who make a good living and enjoy what they do. Higher education, by and large, has become a scam to get money from naïve young people who've been told their whole life that they have to go to college. Go if necessary, otherwise stay away.
Exactly...go if you know what you want to do. Well put...but so many people think that college will show them what
$300,000??? Where on earth did you go to college?!?!? I graduated with my masters from a state school and have $54,000. The average amount of student debt for bachelors degrees is $36,000.
my oldest sister went to Stanford. I have some other friends who went to Ivy League schools.

It depends on the state schools in California even state schools are much more expensive cost of living in general is here. I'm going to community now and haven't spent a dime of my own money thanks to financial aid and scholarships, even if I did tuition here is only 1000. I graduated top of my class and many other people I know who did well in school also went to community and teacher's pressured us to transfer to a four year other people didn't understand. Now I see those same people switching their majors and wasting even more money, I've even seen some on my campus because they couldn't afford tuition anymore.
"To teach 3rd grade only requires a 4th grade education."
~Norm Macdonald
That's really nonsense, after all. Anyone with common sense should see that. Just passing a grade doesn't exactly prepare you to teach it. Usually, Norm doesn't say such obtuse things, even sarcastically.
@@ezakustam it's it joke dumbass not literal. He's implying most teachers are incompetent halfwits which is sad but true.
@@ezakustam "passing a grade doesnt prepare you to teach it" it does in fact because that is why they passed it instead of failed it....if they didnt do well enough to recieve credit for learning it then they would have failed. Its funny too cuz u need to pass college to be a teacher but my mom barely passed to get her degree and shes an amazing teacher. Moral of the story is school means nothing in general because the grading system is flawed and designed to weed out the ones that arent submissive robots that spew nothing but memorized useless information.
ezakustam Uh oh found the low IQ guy
@@ezakustam can you see the lie in your own comment?
The catch me if you can story has a chapter of a con man (

I remember when I hooked up a lady’s internet service (I work for an ISP as a Technician) and when she asked about my training and requirements for the job, she basically hinted that I would have gotten farther with a college degree. When I asked where she went to college and what she does for work, she took offense and gave me a negative review for rude behavior. She told me that she was unemployed due to the pandemic. Also, I make $45K a year and working on getting my Bachelor’s in Computer Networking and Security (paid for by my Army service). I started this job before my college program, so basically, you don’t need a degree for a good job/career, anybody that thinks otherwise is in debt and thinks the world owes them something.
You don't need a degree for a good job/career. You DO need a degree for a PROFESSIONAL job/career.
@@perplexedcats7687 that degree for a PROFESSIONAL job/career needs to compliment each other though, I guarantee, a degree in Gender Studies or Philosophy isn't going to get you very for as far as a PROFESSIONAL job/career.
@@perplexedcats7687 No you really don't. It all depends on the path your willing to take. I know people in tech and engineering who have no degrees. They their careers through self study and mentorships. However if you're thinking of getting into medicine or a career that directly effects that lives of others. That's a different story. Unless of course they provide on job training.
@@AmazingStoryDewd Yes, by professional, I meant a profession that's defined by your degree, by, like you said, medical/law school. Other than that, "professional" is a very subjective adjective that can always be debated. I should have been more clear.
Perplexed cats YOU ARE WRONG there were many examples of such professionals in the video. I own a business and am a logger. Which is a Profession, and I'm quite good at it which makes me professional. Let's see you find a 4yr + college that teaches that subject.
Funny thing is that I was sad for being a college drop out and then I see this recommendation. Imagine what I thought
As an electronics technician, I owe a lot of my opportunities to this stigma. Everyone wants to be an engineer, but no one wants to service or manufacture the engineered products.

0402 is not a problem. 0201 is annoying. bga is annoying.
but honestly, there are some things that require college, like being a doctor.
I think people can distinguish which fields requires a college degree, the problem is 70% of GRADUATES do not have a job/career that reflect that college degree that took them 4 years and thousands of dollars to get.
@Aurora O. Nice. I don't trust them even if they did have extensive training.
Yes but not all jobs. The problem today is that most fields require a degree when it is not necessary. For fields like Medical, Dental, or anything of professional service it makes sense but for something like writing or even marketing, it's best down by learning on the job or getting certified in less than a year or two.
@@ncryptsolutions Exactly. Additionally, they end up in jobs that have nothing to do with their degree and don't get paid much depending on the major they get and yes, your major does matter.
But even in medicine if you don't learn to think out of the box, or continuously critical think, learn on your own, listen to patients, and understand that much of what you learn in professional programs is just that or what they learned and so what they teach, then you fall into the same ole same ole trap of just prescribing and moving on to the next patient. It's about truly taking into yourself that you are there to help and teach your patient and keep their best interests to heart, not what you learned, doing what you were taught, and being stuck in a mold. Sadly medicine has become more and more of a business and lost what it once was: Truly trying to help patients learn and do things in a healthy way in conservative ways.
Don't let anyone tell you what you need to do with your life, even family. People either try to push you to do what they feel is right because it worked for them, or they failed at life but still think they know what's best for you
I needed this. Thank you.
What if your life choices are garbage?
People need to stop thinking that just because something is right to them means that they should force other people to do the same thing just because they believe it's right .Just because something is right to you doesn't justify you forcing someone else to do it

Of course you'll go to college. Don't even think about it. And you'll go, and you'll pay and you'll work for it (unfortunately in the US you have to pay a lot for a good college, but salaries are proportionally high) NOT because you are going to find a highly profitable job but to help you become an educated person. In other words you are going to study there so that you become a better person. Of course you can learn a lot from a few Utube videos but who could say that you can get to be a better person by that?? Acquiring some certain skills does not entail that someone is a cultured individual. By choosing wisely your major on the other hand, you can help yourself find a decent well paid job too.
@@irondasgr Wow. No man, completely wrong what you say. If my man doesn't want to be suffering for over 4 years just let him do what he thinks is best. It's 2020, this is no taboo now. Going to college is becoming obsolete. Lots of jobs pay very high and don't require any degree.

That's why I chose an engineering degree - it has one of the best return on investment. Not all disciplines are math-heavy either.
A college friend and I graduated with a degrees in Mechanical Engineering. He went to work in nuclear engineering and I went to work in heat transfer and fluid dynamics industry. He literally wore out his calculus book doing calcs. My work was boiled down to charts and tables using little more than basic math and a little algebra. So, you are right about some disciplines don't require advanced math skills. But you do need them to get a degree.
@@waitaminute-vw9hf I meant some engineering degrees aren't math heavy too. Environmental Eng. and all Engineering Technology degrees aren't math-intensive. Their math courses end before Calc 2.
A computer engineering degree costed me my mental health. I am quite sure that now I'm actually less capable of being a competent programmer than I was before going to the university. At least, before the university, I didn't have a psychotic disorder. Now I am taking Risperidone, Biperiden and Alprazolam.

For people saying college is useless, I have a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and had a job at GE Aviation ( lost it due to the pandemic).

@@briarpeterson6938 probably because a lot of students who go to college don’t go for stem and don’t obtain useful knowledge, yet complain that society is harmful to them.

1. Unemployment is low because people have 2 jobs
2. We need to include funeral costs into our cost of healthcare.
And she clearly doesn’t care, as she states:
“...I think that there's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.”
Clearly, if college is producing a Representative who makes such statements, we should be questioning the value of college.
@@Exl6243 You turned a conversation from college to politics, simply because a politician has a college degree...
@@perplexedcats7687 Well, because college is linked to politics.
1. You have politicians who, instead of encouraging people not to go to college, instead will promise to remove student debt, encouraging MORE people to go to college as the negative consequences for going to college are nullified. Those who are promising to pay for college debt tend to lean on one side of politics.
2. Briar Striegel mentioned the fact that people are denouncing higher education as "woke," so I provided an example of a person who considers herself as woke and has a college degree, yet remains completely ignorant about actual economics and reality.
3. And finally, we have this report:
www.goacta.org/2016/07/top_u-s-_colleges_fail_to_require_history_majors_to_take_u-s-_history/
Less than a third of top US college fail to require a SINGLE course in US history.
www.sfgate.com/education/article/Top-flight-colleges-fail-civics-study-says-Cal-2487611.php
In 2006, a study was conducted and found that most college seniors failed or barely passes a civics test.
Colleges, at a bare minimum, MUST teach students how to be a citizen. They must teach students the history of the United States, or be doomed to repeat its mistakes.
Agree, college for me was a waste of time & money.
Everything that I learned in life, that is of value, I learned outside of college.
Unless you are becoming a doctor that needs cadavers dont waste your time...both my brother college educated doing great in life. Both my brother working in fields completely unrelated to what they studied. One got a criminal justice dagree to become a cop, got a sales job paying 2x a police salary. They other got a film dagree and eneded up made his own internet buissnes.

The only ones that benefit are the colleges with how much revenue they bring in every year, and they don't have to worry about losing customers since they have kids being rigorously trained since they were able to understand language that college is a vital part of their life.

oop you must have took out a huge loan at high interest for a worthless degree
Actually I took out a very small loan for a very worthwhile degree. This still makes me sad.
DanieleGiorgino So you got out more than you put in (financially). Why the sad face?
DanieleGiorgino he's referring to people who act like they're better and smarter than everyone else BECAUSE they went to college, because college alone doesnt make you smart. anyone can go. since you actually thought it through with your finances before going and have a plan for your life afterwards and you worked hard and had a plan he's not talking about you. if it is part of your life he's not talking about you. He's referring to people who get a gigantic degree just for the joy of acting smarter than everyone else and rubbing it in their faces. He's talking about the false belief that college makes it automatically easier to find a career or have a good life or somehow improves a person's intelligence. it doesn't but if you worked hard in school and you apply those skills of hard work to the real world, you'll be fine. what you put in to college is what you get out of it. has nothing to do with the peice of paper you received. has everything to do with what you actually learned.
>have a plan for your life afterwards
You give me way too much credit.
My Grandfather, a Professor for over 20 years, had this to say "At the end of the day, all I can hope to teach anybody, is that they can think for themselves" unfortunately, dangerous ideas like that, and indeed education itself, have long since been abolished from our universities. Drop out, read a book, don't be a communist.
What subject is he a professor of ?
Bruh it was almost sensible, real commies hate group think
@@Ralfester Then there are, and have been, very few real communists...
What does communism have to do with school?
LOL, we have free Federal and State universities in my country and the best part is that they're ranked better than the private ones.
By the way, what does communism have to do with all this? Are you implying that the academic environment stimulates marxist ideas? And what would be wrong about working towards a society with fewer social inequalities?
(I'm asking genuinely. I know the US has had kind of a "witch hunt" mentality towards socialist ideas, macarthism and all. It would be cool to have a discussion).
To be fair, I wouldn’t trust my doctor if they didn’t have a degree.
Icy Diamond Because thats required for that field.
Doctors are different imo
I don’t think doctors can even be doctors without a degree
Emts get certs and often times dont get associates... but still save lives... they get you to the Dr. while taking care of whatever immediate threat you may encounter. When theres an emergency these are the first line of defense... let's not forget we have alot of people without degrees that are still vital to society...
Yep, the higher education necessity depends on the profession
Johnny starts his first job. The boss tells Johnny to grab the broom and start sweeping. Johnny was offended and informed his boss that he went to 4 years of college.
The boss said to Johnny... “Bring that broom over here and I’ll show you how it works.”
That's a good one.

Josip I agree. I think it depends more on the major rather than the university itself. Majors like engineering, medicine, IT and law require critical thinking and the ability to analyse problems as well as memorising some facts to succeed.

When I was in high school I didn't know what I wanted to learn in college. I didn't have a subject in mind. I was the "smart" kid and felt pressured that I had to enroll into college and get a medical degree. Our school had also turned into a charter school so the counselors were pushing for college applications. They didn't care which ones, just pick the 5 you're somewhat interested in and apply. When I finally did pick a university to go to, I told my counselor that it was expensive and it was out of state. Without looking into it, she told me that because I'm from a "low" income family I would get a full ride scholarship. I told her I looked into it and that the school would only cover part of my tuition. While I was lazy at the time to apply for more scholarships, the counselor just kept pushing to apply and accept whatever college.
It was when I graduated high school and walked in the ceremony that it clicked why they were pushing so much. They were announcing how many students were graduating compared to when it was non charter and how many students applied for college compared to the previous graduates.
Mind you the bar was also lowered to graduate. Students who ditched class, disrupt the teacher, didn't put in the effort, they all graduated. While other students, myself included, put effort into our assignments and it felt like I was robbed. Like seeing some girls crying that they graduated and saying omg we made it. All so the school can show the numbers that they made a difference.
I’m also low income. Community college is basically almost 100% covered for me thanks to that. That isn’t the case with university though
Damn I'd probably cry cause it's over so fast.
High school is so lenient.
I've been turning all of my assignments late

college is necessary for some subjects but unfortunately there are a lot of mickey mouse degrees out there
okhstorm more people should read this. This is precisely the issue. If you do your research and pursue a degree with a good ROI, that is growing, and has demand everywhere, then go to college and do it. Otherwise, don’t waste your time.
I could tell you I vehemently agree with this statement.
And yes as your you said it is true that some degrees actually require it for some careers, such as Medical.
For me when it came to graphic design video editing and the like, I can do so without their help, very easily.
One of my main pastimes is gaining knowledge, when I see an opportunity.
For instance if you swung by my channel, about 95% of that work was on my own and the rest is usually salvaged content that is no longer around for multiple reasons that I've seen throughout TH-cam's lifetime.

Let me try to understand this....I didn't go to college, I'm making around 80k per year after taxes...I'm not from US, in my country 80k is like 400k in US. I have people with degrees serving me lunch in restaurants. I was once told by one "educated" person how she is smart because she has a degree. She now works for $500 a month. Also, I managed to be fluent in two languages without college degree....Hmmm...I have a son who is 9 years old and my wife (phd) was quite surprised when I said I want him to learn a trade...develop working habits and not be dependent on his diploma.
When I was an uber driver, people would ask me where I'd go to school. And when I told them I didn't go to college, they would literally start an argument with me and I'd get sucked into a DEBATE with the customer on why I chose not to go. So I would pretty much just lie
I lie, too, because even though I'm old enough to be JP's mother, everyone thinks that because I've advanced in my career, I have at least a BS. I have lots of BS, but that's another story. They think that because I'm a peer, and they have a BS or higher, I must have gone to college. They drank the Kool-Aid. I just happen to be a self-starter, and willing to do anything honest as a job. And I just shut up about the whole college thing, because they think it's impossible to succeed without it.
Jay Bartgis OMGGG SAME. I was an Uber driver and exact same thing you just said omggg hahaha!!!
You could just dump their ass in the middle of no where
Jay Bartgis I lie about WHERE I went to college, as it’s a (in)famous liberal arts college. My degrees are actually useful, despite the college, but I very much dislike the discussions that come from fellow liberal arts grads who only want to justify their degrees in Poetry or Philosophy. So I’m either very vague about where I went or will just flat out lie, like yourself. It’s a white lie; doesn’t hurt anyone & saves both you & me a bunch of BS small talk/annoying discussions. 🤪

That means that in 2018 over 77 million people (over the age of 25) held a bachelor's degree in America. There were 3.7 million fast food employees in the same year. That means that even if somehow every fast food employee held a bachelor's degree (In 2013 only 30% of all fast food workers had at least some college education), then there would still be 73 million college graduates not working in fast food in 2018. So yeah, tens of millions...

@@mistakenmeme and your point? A vast majority of inventors that have made massive impacts on human life didn't finish college or even attend.

Why do I need a foreign langauge credit when I'm studying math? This is not more inherently noticeable in today's time when you can basically learn anything at the palm of your fingertips. The point is how determined are you to learn the craft you want to learn.

Connor Chen Totally get that. If I didn't want to work for Pixar, I might not be so worried about getting a degree (like I'm getting one in graphic design so I have the qualifications to work there) because I could just be an author like my dad, which doesn't require an education. However, just know the reason that our parents push us to get a degree is because they want what's best for us and for us to have the most opportunities available in life, whether they're right or wrong. You can absolutely make a living and be successful in life without a degree in something, but at the same time, it can be limiting in this day and age to not have a degree, because in today's society people care more about education than experience. But then again, my mom barely completed high school but because of her skill as a singer song writer she's become a song writing professor at Belmont. She has no degree in anything whatsoever. These freak things can happen if you are good enough at what you do that you don't require an extensive education. But at the same time, it's very helpful to have a degree in something, because it *can* open more doors. It's just not required if you get what I'm saying 😉
such great comment, thanks :)
such great comment, thanks :)
You dont need a degree to work at Pixar... find out what Programs they use. Get those Programs, learn how they work...create projects. Send a Portfolio with your Work to Pixar. They gonna invite you instantly and hire you... Friend is currently creating a VR Game using Unity. He got 3 Job offerings after sending in a 8 Second GIF of the Game... he even got a Free Oculus Rift Developer Kit. He didnt study anything. Its a waste of time. He selftaught himself on goggle and youtube.
I agree and I have a masters and part of a doctorate...
The truth about school is that most teachers usually don't care enough, or actually don't know as much as you think. For middle and high school, I always thought the teachers were going to be more passionate and deeply knowledgeable about the topic, and push students to understand things in a way that makes sense and actually provokes thought and is interesting, but the truth is, most teachers are just middle aged moms who wanted to settle down with a reliable job who thought it would be cool at one point to educate the youth, but then lost all interest after the realize that they don't really know what they are doing, and start to give everyone A's for putting in the bare minimum effort, because at least they tried, even if they learned jack.
After high school I started working never went to college.
This needs to be seen by all delusional parents who try to shame their kids into college. 😂
I agree, my mom is sometimes tells me to go to school in order to get a good job. I don't even know what I want to study and I am over the college BS.
College is a guaranteed way to get a high paying job. You just have to be smart. You can’t just go to college for anything and you need to really learn while you’re there. I went to my community college for free then took out $10k in loans to get my bachelors. I studied information technology with a focus on software development. Before I graduated I had 2 job offers. I accepted one of them and started working 2 weeks after my graduation earning $65k. Now, 4 years later, I’m at just under $74k and within the next year I’ll have enough experience to command a salary at $90k or more.
I just feel sorry for the people that think they can get any degree, decide to go out of state and go 10’s or 100’s of thousands in debt, to graduate and not find a job. Study something practical at your local schools, study hard and master the material, and benefit. Otherwise, you’re just a mindless sheep that shouldn’t be surprised is in the situation they’re all in.
Also, I’m not some genius. I knew nothing of computer usage outside of gaming and typical millennial computer knowledge before I enrolled. But I saw a degree that opened doors to very high paying jobs, I checked for job openings in my area and found sooooo many, and then checked the nation averages and found something that will reward my time.
Then again, I know people with Master’s degrees who earn $40k a year and owe over $50k in student loans. Be smart people. If you aren’t going to study something with a good ROI then don’t go to school. You can work at a company you like and work your way up.
@@uchihajoel3064 I'm glad that worked out for you, but the point was that it really doesn't make sense to force the college path on everyone. And the thing about computer programming is that the field has changed a lot, and will continue to change rapidly, which means programmers are constantly retraining themselves. I know people who work in the exact programming jobs you described, making 70k or more, who did *not* get a degree, because information on coding and computer programming is available all over the internet, for free or cheap.
@@rebbiejoanthony5362 you have a higher chance at getting a job with a degree then not. It's to get past the first line. During interview you will be vetted. You will have your knowledge tested. You will be asked to code on the spot. That's when the fakes get weeded out but it costs money and time to do that. So I would interview a degree holder over someone who claims they know that they are doing simply because an abet accredited program gives me some reassurance.
ishofique Bingo, unless you know people on the inside already getting your foot in the door at a company is going to be really hard. Without a college degree employers will look at your resume and go “no relevant experience, no degree” and then move on to the other 5+ applicants that do have degrees. Like sure, you can be successful without a college degree, but you’re just making it way harder on yourself. Have a plan of what you want to do, take out as few loans as possible, apply for scholarships, and get a degree in something you’re passionate about. It’s way better than the alternative of hoping and praying someone gives you a chance.
But does college help you become ultra spiritual??? THAT is the real question.

Love his humor which is truly explains all fake aspects, we get literally shoveled to our throats. College degree is practical for doctors, engineers, psychologists, or any other field which requires strong foundation for creating legit things to help or treat people. However, if right now you have no idea what you like, don't choose college degree because parents tell you or you feel left out. Try to start with the job in the field you love, see if you really like it and then IF NEEDED take degree, if not aquire certificate. Never let people rate you based on your essay about Greek revolution in 18th century that won't tell you how to finance for life. Make a fortune out of talent that impossible to lose even when you're drunk 🥂👌
You are also not allowed to start a business if you haven't gone to college. You won't be successful getting a job or starting a business without going to college. So basically you will become homeless or live at your parents for the rest of your life!

@NukuNuku The thing of liberal arts degrees is only part of the problem. While it may be true that you're 100% guaranteed to not find a job if you get a degree in gender studies, there is also a good chance you won't find a job if you study engineering either because of the sheer volume of people who go to college these days. A degree in Whatever would have guaranteed you a job back in the days when less than 10% of the population had college degrees but nowadays almost 50% have degrees even though the percentage of jobs that actually *require* those degrees (in the sense that the things you learned in college will actually be useful for the job itself, not in the sense of the employer being like "well it looks like 90% of the people who applied to this job offer have degrees, I might as well disregard the 10% that don't even though it's just a cleaning job lol") hasn't gone up at all. So yes, it's worse for people who studied liberal arts but it's bad for everyone all around. What they will often tell you to keep you hooked after you've realized this is: "don't worry, *the best and brightest* are still guaranteed to get good jobs at the end so you only won't make it if you're *not* one of the best and brightest, and you totally *are* one of the best and brightest, right?" ;) So even some of the people who go into STEM will get hoodwinked because of their egos and their parents bringing them up with the "You're the best of the best! And someday you're gonna prove it to the world and make me proud!" mentality.
@NukuNuku I agree. If it's not STEM, University is a waste of time especially if all you want from it is just learning.
@@SecondVelcory I do agree with that but it's important to realize a donate are worse off than others. Many who go into STEM fields in Engineering tend to have high drop out rates because of the rigor of the program and tend to go into Arts and Humanities because they are easier (I can testify they are because I took both STEM and Humanities classes and it's easier believe me). That is why there is still a higher demand for Engineers or programmers than writers or artists.

I dropped out of high school when I was 17 and got right into the work force. I'm 24 now and own a house, own my truck, and bought my wife the ring she wanted. Wanna know the best part ? I'm DEBT FREE!! My wife and I do what we want WHENEVER we want. If you want to be successful, nothing will stop you besides yourself !
Damn Right.
“Because that’s what I was taught to think, I think that’s what I think”
Why is this so fucking true
I got a 4 year degree in civil engineering. I am working as a civil design engineer. I am utilizing none of the material I learned in school on my job and I am still receiving on the job training. Could have skipped college. Literally anybody could do my job so long as they have the sanity. I used to be a better worker/employee/student straight out of high school too - being able to focus on a single assignment for a few hours to finish it, but college ruined me. Now i'm lazy as shit.

Elisha Ondov I have an autistic aunt who has a degree in civil engineering. Did she learn anything in college? No.
They like to brainwash students with liberal bs.
omg me tooo. i was knowledge thirsty after high school...so i went to a community college for 5 years for a bunch of associates degrees....then my friends spooked me into going to uni cuz associates means nothing...so i had to take a years worth of courses to be able to travel(transfer not travel lol)..by then i was burnt out. transferred to uni, was lazy, tired, couldnt concentrate, couldnt give 2 fucks....i somehow managed to get my degree...although by my last semester i was basically skipping all my classes....
luckily found a job and have about 2k of loans left...but jesus...im def regretful in going to college so long. I was so much more driven, creative, organized, and just in general smarter before college sucked it out of me. Anytime i meet people..i try to warn them about the downside of being in college, or being in college long. They still dont understand it.....
College didn't make you lazy, it can't because college is work in and of itself. You where already lazy and this is your coping mechanism after realizing it. Also, I call bullshit that you use nothing you learned in Civil engineering in college. That's impossible, because CE teaches engineering principles, and mathematics that you definitely use as an engineer and nobody is going to train you on the job to do that when projects have to be done on a regular basis. My belief is, you never went to CE school and you're not a CE.
Actually now a days it’s more “ you are an idiot if you went to college”
It's more of a what college you went to, Business, Engineering, Nursing etc. makes sense. Anything else is just a waste of money.
More like you're actually getting a degree in. If you got get STEM degree, you're smart or maybe even something not as profitable like a teaching degree or social service degree, those still have jobs and careers. But if you decided a Gender Studies or a Art History degree was your choice, well you're going to probably be working a dead end job.
@@paullangland6877 but if you a history teacher you still need a degree in history
@@Moo17234 True, I don't think they're all worthless studies but some of the degrees offered seem to exist to reinforce political agendas from my observation.
@@paullangland6877 It very much depends on why you want to go. If you do history because you’re a huge nerd and want to learn about it that’s great and you should go, but if you want to get something that will lead to a job it would be far better doing something else. Also American University’s look so expensive and the repayment system looks so complicated! Here once you graduate you don’t pay your loan back until you make a certain amount of money, the interest rate depends on how much money you make and after 30 years if you haven’t paid it off or become disabled you don’t have to pay it back
"...is social validation that I'm someone, I earned it. And I earned it by paying for it." "...because that's what I was taught to think, I think that's what I actually think." Wow, this is so relevant!
I have never loved a sketch as much as this.
