When you HAVE TO invest your time to learn something it's about stress. When you WANT TO invest your time to learn something it's about passion. I have an engineering degree and the university has been hard and stressful for me. When I decided to dedicate myself to the creation of videos, I started learning everything in every moment with a big smile on my face.
I think the HUGE problem that makes people avoid that route is money. Everybody traps themselves in a way that they're stuck and have very little time away from their jobs and therefore they are to scared to take the leap that they want.
@@georgev3320 I agree with you. But day after day the money you can get from an hour of your time are worthless if you feel that this hour was wasted. Obviously you still have to find a way to pay the bills (or you could have a few savings, like in my case)

Isn’t it crazy that, in school, we’re not taught how to learn...? Content, content, content...📚 Homework, homework, homework... ✍🏼 Exams, exams, exams... 📖 . But we’re never properly taught HOW to learn all that content, do the homework efficiently, and therefore implement what we’ve been ‘taught’ (not in the three schools I went to, anyway). Maybe we’re given flashcards & coloured pens, but we aren’t equipped with productive methods to recall & implement information when we need it. Therefore, we go out into the real world and we haven’t learned how to learn. I don’t know about you, but that’s a problem to me. ACTIVE RECALL WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! That's why, like you Nathaniel, I am committed to educating my audience on how to learn, so that they learn the info I am sharing with them!

IF u have money, being smart doesn't necessarily mean u will go places, that's just a straight up fallacy. i know one of the smartest person alive and he leads a humdrum tedious life as an English teacher that barely makes ends meet
@@Tushinho Of course, having the knowledge is only part of the equation. Finding opportunities to use it that will lead you to greater heights is the hard part.

The hierarchy of competence is something I teach my students, and I appreciate your reference to it.

Start by making your bed, cleaning up after yourself, focusing on one thing at a time, do things you don't want to do, go to the gym daily, take cold showers etc. You'll never get anywhere when your comfortable.
Here is a fun way to build self discipline: First, buy a chocolate bar or any kind of sweets and place it on a place that you visit every day (for example your desk). You're only allowed to eat it after a certain time period like 7 days. After those 7 days you will probably have some more self discipline and as a bonus a reward (the chocolate bar) (Btw: if you have roommates this might not quite work for you 🤣)
I love the internet as a learning platform and use it actively every single day, but I feel that saying that we have access to all human knowledge through the internet, and you only need to learn how to find it, is only true for some very popular/mainstream interests (as fx photography, entrepreneurship etc). Since starting university I can't tell you how many times I've been unable to find content on a subjects that goes deep enough, most of it (even if very high quality) is simply oftentimes too shallow. I think that you only realize that, when you've been exposed/pushed to discover aspects of a concept that aren't mentioned in a 15 min article. So in some ways I feel like the internet learning method can give people a false feeling of knowledgeability when comparing to oneself with (even great) internet sources/people and make them suffer the Dunning-Kruger effect. With that said, I think all your points are valid when used in the right context.
The parallels between what you're saying and what I've been trying to explain to people are insane. Thank you for putting this perspective out there! When you learn how to learn you can basically do anything.
When I'm programming I'm in like a total trance almost drinking no water or eating for hours lol just did that for last 5 hours. Only when I have a fun project though client work is mostly fixing bugs that's when I get distracted too. The thing is if you start you should at one point go do fun projects on you're own outside whatever course you're doing. Courses are imo only good to get the foundation and starting point.
hey i am also a software engg, but want to do more projects for my resume. Is anyone interested in doing a MERN/MEAN/MEVN stack project? we can change M to any other datastore, thats fine. As long as the main backend/frontend is in js I am up for it. As to what to build, its up to you. facebook, youtube or any other clone is also fine.

I started programming 3 years ago learning it online and by the first minute I felt so in love with it that since then I am programming almost every day. The hardest thing I learned was the full mechanics of Machine Learning. but now looking back at what I learned online so far, I can say that I’m really thankful to everybody who shares his knowledge in the internet and a little proud of myself. I understand that you and a lot of people don’t like the college very much but it is just not what you need in life. You don’t need college to make your videos and be creative, sure. But a lot of things require it. I want to be a Data Scientist one time and I am learning and learning all the time and now I COULD work but I know that there is so much more that i can learn at a university and I understand that a lot of enterprises only hire people who have been there. Machine Lesrning is so complicated that I really look forward to university, so I can learn even more and deeply
Theodor P Where do you get into the real meat of the burger, all I am seeing is beginner tutorials and they only skim the surface. I suppose in a way I don’t want to learn just for profit but also for fun
Daniel your videos are great, the quality is impressive and this subject of learning valuable skills using the internet is very captivating. You did an amazing job ! Congratulations man !
Going to university was honestly the best decision I ever made in my life - the connections and opportunities I got there have set me up for life! Really great video as always though mate :)
The fact that you’ve said “mate” and “university” shows location. College in the United States places nearly everyone in inexpungable debt and basically promises nothing but a menial entry level job. It’s very close to useless. Nathaniel stated that he grew up in the USA. His success and flexibility are most likely a result of not starting adult life in debt from school.
Nathaniel, I'm from South America and presently at work in the jungle. I'm trying trying to figure my way out of my situation and your video serves as encouragement that it can be done. Thanks.
I live in Mexico City and I had the opportunity to meet Nathaniel at a café today. I was worried that if I aporoach him I would disturb but he was very nice and so humble. I really enjoyed chating with him for a minute. Thanks again for being an inspiration men :)
Love your approach. I follow it pretty much every day when it comes to my goals in learning. Currently, I am learning about video, editing and stock footage. It's a lovely experience and the passion is key. It completely changes the way you absorb information and you approach difficulties in the process of learning. And everyone has to face them one way or another. I also completely agree that this is the future and universities will be in big trouble in 10-20 years unless there's a significant shift in the way knowledge is delivered.
I absolutely agree with what you say here. The most difficult part is really distinguishing between good information, and bad information. This is a skill that really comes with experience. The thing about college (at least in some parts of Europe, specially Portugal where I'm from) is that not having a degree will greatly hinder your ability to progress in your career, regardless of your technical ability. I can't explain the origin of this phenomenon yet, but it is reality. No college degree, and you will not get past a "team leader" kind of position (generally speaking). Of course this is focusing on the corporate or enterprise world, so this does not apply to everyone. But I can tell you I sometimes feel prejudice for saying I only have the 12th year (equivalent to what you call High School). I want to congratulate you for this very concise, very straight to the point video. Also, the quality of the videos are really really great, you have come a long way and should feel proud about it. But don't sit on that accomplishment and keep improving and learning every day!
I love how after each section of your video, you recap what you've been talking about. Great structure to your info, easily absorbed, specially when dividing it into steps of 3.
Totally agree! I personally learned 90% of my entire knowledge through online resources. Just found your channel, by the way, now you've got 1 more sub! Good luck.
You are such an inspiration Nathaniel. Your content is very well put and ridiculously well thought out. And the best thing about it is that it actually pushes me into the self-introspection mode and tells me to do something unlike most of the content on TH-cam which fail to do so. I have watched both of your videos on how you learnt Italian in 7 days and I'm very proud to share my experience of learning German using a similar method that is working for me! It's been 28 days (a bit slow) and I'm still hooked to it (still a lot to learn). Thanks a lot Nathaniel! Lots of love and respect. [English is not my first language so please excuse the mistakes.]
*We are living in an era where everything is available online, which is freaking awesome! So grateful for that* 🙏 When will I be able to interview you for my channel? 😄
Bless this video, cause as much as I’m aware that there’s so many things you can learn off the internet it’s sometimes so much harder since you have to make your own structure and time and be consistent and make sure whatever you’re learning is actually correct 😅
8 seconds in and I'm compelled to comment - I think every single day how grateful I am to live in the 'internet age'. It is such a revolution in human communication. I'm in my 50s and I've developed immensely as a human being in the last few years thanks to the network of other people sharing what they've learned online. Thank you for being a part of that community!
This is the first time I’ve watched one of your videos and I’m so impressed. You can really see the time and effort you’ve put into preparing and editing it. I have lots of good ideas for content on my channel but really need to improve the quality of the videos themselves. Definitely going to be working on that in the coming weeks! Thanks for this video 😊
Hey! just want to say thank you! Your videos helped me very much, becoming a better person and take care of the things i love! Keep up the inspiring work. Oh, and hi from germany :)
This message is so important! The vast availability of information has encouraged a widespread false sense of competence, knowledge, and understanding. There is so much potential, but it's rarely implemented. Nathaniel is right: practice discipline, forget what they taught you school, and learn how to learn (not just pass a test or one up somebody). Information at your fingertips is useless unless you make the effort to take hold of it. And the effort is absolutely worth it.
This is my first vedio of yours , I don't why you have such a great power to inspire others , I actually don't follow others words , I always wanna do what I wanna do but you're such an awesome person
80-90% of skills are learnable online though in my opinion it’s the education system that is broken (making followers instead of leader) and most professors doesn’t have process how to transfer knowledge into long term skill. Learning how to learn is a subject that must be added in school systems. Some schools are very innovative and exciting though not everyone could afford them. But in self studies, it is more fun to pick subject you are interested in , finding a mentor that suits your learning style and manage your own time.
3 weeks ago I decided I was going to try and learn French in a month and I also decided that I was going to develop content out of it. This helped me develop self discipline towards video editing and actually learning a language. Obviously I won't learn French in a month, specially alone, but it develops an habit and builds my character while giving me tools to be able to strive for the next months. I think that putting yourself out there is a great way for that. Even if you only have 10 views, you somewhat feel accountable for the stuff you're releasing specially if you're doing it to somewhat serious platforms like LinkedIn. Yeah, it's a great time to be alive. There are millions of communities to help you out and allow you to grow within any field you may want
Bruhhhhhhh this was all resonating with me so much and then when you mentioned sam ovens I was like whaaaaaa yesss! I have just finished his 6 week course of Consulting Accelerator and I am sooooooo grateful for Sams mentorship. I owe so much to him.
Good stuff boss. I have learned so much from TH-cam, more so than any other source. You are correct that once you find someone with your interests whose work speaks for themselves, you can learn SO MUCH by following them. The only thing i watch on TV now is the daily news (and an occasional NetFlix movie) but mainly i watch TH-cam

Hi man - lucky I stumbled across your channel. I don’t often leave comments but I thoroughly enjoyed this video. The audio, b-roll and delivery was just superb. I’m interested to know how you deal with focusing on one thing at a time. There are lots of things I want to learn so end up not focusing on anything.
When I saw the title of this video, I thought what kind of video is that? Why would someone make such video but after watching it, I can say it's the most useful and practical video I watched today. Awesome work!
As growing up in india I always thought that American education system was exceptionally good but as i grew up i learnt that children worldwide are just experiencing the same stuff which I went through
Yes!!! I highly agree with everything you're saying in this video, especially with how much low-quality info there is out there. What I feel helped me get grounded in my field is finding those specific individuals to follow.
I just cant be more great full for this, and MattD Avela’s Channels, your videos had literally changed my life into a better path, I even started learning Japanese following the way you did you learn Italian!

my favorite channel right now. i've spent the last 10 years "teaching myself how to learn" from the internet and this sums it up so well. thanks for the great content!
Es increíble todo lo que tenemos en común. Mi día a día se basa en el auto aprendizaje por internet y lo que mencionas sobre el oro en medio de la basura, no puede ser más real, con la práctica se va volviendo más sencillo identificar información realmente valiosa... Por otro lado, la disciplina se trabaja de a poco, después sin siquiera notarlo te has convertido en una persona muy disciplinada, ordenada y con mucho orden en la vida, lo cual ayuda para seguir aprendiendo mucho más . Gracias por compartir estos consejos que, puedo asegurar, son bastante útiles porque los llevo practicando desde hace mucho tiempo.
@nathaniel i'm not a person that typically comments on youtube videos; however, the fervour to let you know how impactful and inspirational to me you are is too great. Thank you so much! I'm wondering how you are making all of this work financially? How can others live such a fulfilling lifestyle? Money always tends to be the biggest impairment most times, especially in western societies.
_I love this kind of videos so much_ . It's like treasure experience background. I already add you to my elegible Channel for Cool topics of live. Thomas Frank, Matt D'Avella and you, provide awesome content
I am so happy you made this video. I am a language teacher (both in the states and abroad) and people always get a little weird and uncomfortable when they tell me "I don't think a higher education is necessary." Which is absolutely true. It's not. For me, it is and I'm absolutely okay with that. But for you and your career and many others, it's absolutely not necessary. Traveling is also another thing I am hugely passionate about and that wasn't learned in a book at all. Nor in a huge university classroom. It was learned through lots of research, going to public libraries, articles online, and just buying the damn ticket and leaving. I really appreciate all your videos, themes, and ideas. Originally from Los Angeles but currently living in Ecuador. Lots of love!!

How do you have so much self discipline?

It’s very close to useless. Nathaniel stated that he grew up in the USA. His success and flexibility are most likely a result of not starting adult life in debt from school.
Nice! I also would recommend Sean Tucker for photography and filmmaking for those who want to understand the philosophy behind the art
Yeah he's awesome
I finally found the gold on YT. Love your videos.
Nathaniel, I'm from South America and presently at work in the jungle.
I'm trying trying to figure my way out of my situation and your video serves as encouragement that it can be done.
Thanks.
Leon Williams I don't know what your situation is but you're doing great, stay strong! 🙂
@@username1568 thanks, I appreciate the encouragement.
I live in Mexico City and I had the opportunity to meet Nathaniel at a café today. I was worried that if I aporoach him I would disturb but he was very nice and so humble. I really enjoyed chating with him for a minute.
Thanks again for being an inspiration men :)
¿Dónde estuvo? :(
@@blahblahbluuu Le ví en un café cerca del parqué México en Condesa jaja

Love your approach. I follow it pretty much every day when it comes to my goals in learning. Currently, I am learning about video, editing and stock footage. It's a lovely experience and the passion is key. It completely changes the way you absorb information and you approach difficulties in the process of learning. And everyone has to face them one way or another.
I also completely agree that this is the future and universities will be in big trouble in 10-20 years unless there's a significant shift in the way knowledge is delivered.
I absolutely agree with what you say here.
The most difficult part is really distinguishing between good information, and bad information. This is a skill that really comes with experience.
The thing about college (at least in some parts of Europe, specially Portugal where I'm from) is that not having a degree will greatly hinder your ability to progress in your career, regardless of your technical ability.
I can't explain the origin of this phenomenon yet, but it is reality. No college degree, and you will not get past a "team leader" kind of position (generally speaking). Of course this is focusing on the corporate or enterprise world, so this does not apply to everyone. But I can tell you I sometimes feel prejudice for saying I only have the 12th year (equivalent to what you call High School).
I want to congratulate you for this very concise, very straight to the point video.
Also, the quality of the videos are really really great, you have come a long way and should feel proud about it.
But don't sit on that accomplishment and keep improving and learning every day!
I love how after each section of your video, you recap what you've been talking about.
Great structure to your info, easily absorbed, specially when dividing it into steps of 3.
This is really an amazing video! Great work bro!
I don't know what you did with my mind but I just can't stop watching your videos. Thanks for sharing all this great content!
Totally agree! I personally learned 90% of my entire knowledge through online resources. Just found your channel, by the way, now you've got 1 more sub! Good luck.
you really inspire people with your videos bro. much respect for what are you doing, saying and creating. keep it going. *thumbs up*
You are such an inspiration Nathaniel. Your content is very well put and ridiculously well thought out.
And the best thing about it is that it actually pushes me into the self-introspection mode and tells me to do something unlike most of the content on TH-cam which fail to do so.
I have watched both of your videos on how you learnt Italian in 7 days and I'm very proud to share my experience of learning German using a similar method that is working for me! It's been 28 days (a bit slow) and I'm still hooked to it (still a lot to learn).
Thanks a lot Nathaniel!
Lots of love and respect.
[English is not my first language so please excuse the mistakes.]
Wow this video is really inspiring!! Thank you for sharing this!!! Much needed👍👍
*We are living in an era where everything is available online, which is freaking awesome! So grateful for that* 🙏
When will I be able to interview you for my channel? 😄
Mind Now everyone like this comment i would love to see an interview on this guy
Kriptic thnk u
But the problem is not everything is free on internet, not even Skillshare website.
@@RaviSingh-fv4sh Still way less expensive than american college, and has less fluff to it (you can focus only on what you need to learn).
Nice plot, buddy :D
Watching this really makes me want to learn more and more things every day. Keep doing what you do, Nathaniel. You inspire me!
Skillshare does great job by supporting my favorite creators online. Props to marketing people there 🔥🔥🔥
Bless this video, cause as much as I’m aware that there’s so many things you can learn off the internet it’s sometimes so much harder since you have to make your own structure and time and be consistent and make sure whatever you’re learning is actually correct 😅
Trial and error. Find a way that will work for you.
This is super helpful to also think straight on, on lot of things tried or planning to be tried. Appreciate the content. Absorbing !
8 seconds in and I'm compelled to comment - I think every single day how grateful I am to live in the 'internet age'. It is such a revolution in human communication. I'm in my 50s and I've developed immensely as a human being in the last few years thanks to the network of other people sharing what they've learned online. Thank you for being a part of that community!
Your channel is life changing and so inspiring
Thank you for your efforts
Way to go, Nathaniel! You’re an inspiration. Thank you!
Great content, suggestions, and wisdom-dropping per usual! 💪🏽
This is the first time I’ve watched one of your videos and I’m so impressed. You can really see the time and effort you’ve put into preparing and editing it. I have lots of good ideas for content on my channel but really need to improve the quality of the videos themselves. Definitely going to be working on that in the coming weeks! Thanks for this video 😊
Hey! just want to say thank you! Your videos helped me very much, becoming a better person and take care of the things i love! Keep up the inspiring work. Oh, and hi from germany :)
Your videos are so human. I like how they are relatable, and it motivates me way more because of that.
Your content is too good to skip the ads. 😊 Yes, even the two minute long tik tok ads..
You get Tik Tok ads? That's great! I only get stupid internet games and eToro ads... 😱
This message is so important! The vast availability of information has encouraged a widespread false sense of competence, knowledge, and understanding. There is so much potential, but it's rarely implemented. Nathaniel is right: practice discipline, forget what they taught you school, and learn how to learn (not just pass a test or one up somebody). Information at your fingertips is useless unless you make the effort to take hold of it. And the effort is absolutely worth it.
i just started teaching myself stuff online for this summer so this video came at the right time
this is pure gold... i cant thank you enough keep pushing bro i believe you have the potential to achieve everything you ever wanted 😄
Quickly becoming one of my favourite channels 👏🏼
honesty wins every single time.
So glad I found your channel. So great. You put so much love and work into it. And it shows. Thank you.
Before I even realized this was an “advertisement”, I had already gained so much from the video.
Thank you 👏🏽
This is my first vedio of yours , I don't why you have such a great power to inspire others , I actually don't follow others words , I always wanna do what I wanna do but you're such an awesome person
Your videos are so great and I can learn so much from you. I suggest you to talk once about freelancing. Much Love
I really enjoy your videos. I mean, not only the content, but the aesthetic of them! 💜Thank you!!
One of the Best youtubers I've seen..
The most down to earth for sure. Love his style.
So beneficial . Full appreciation to your effort filming the video ✅
80-90% of skills are learnable online though in my opinion it’s the education system that is broken (making followers instead of leader) and most professors doesn’t have process how to transfer knowledge into long term skill. Learning how to learn is a subject that must be added in school systems.
Some schools are very innovative and exciting though not everyone could afford them. But in self studies, it is more fun to pick subject you are interested in , finding a mentor that suits your learning style and manage your own time.
3 weeks ago I decided I was going to try and learn French in a month and I also decided that I was going to develop content out of it.
This helped me develop self discipline towards video editing and actually learning a language.
Obviously I won't learn French in a month, specially alone, but it develops an habit and builds my character while giving me tools to be able to strive for the next months.
I think that putting yourself out there is a great way for that. Even if you only have 10 views, you somewhat feel accountable for the stuff you're releasing specially if you're doing it to somewhat serious platforms like LinkedIn.
Yeah, it's a great time to be alive. There are millions of communities to help you out and allow you to grow within any field you may want
No words just love Ur contents❤️❤️😊😊keep posting 👍❤️
Bruhhhhhhh this was all resonating with me so much and then when you mentioned sam ovens I was like whaaaaaa yesss! I have just finished his 6 week course of Consulting Accelerator and I am sooooooo grateful for Sams mentorship. I owe so much to him.
Brother!I don't know how to thank you!Is what exactly what i want❤
Is this the best video on your channel yet? It's so well written. I really enjoyed it.
You should put subtitles for different languages . because I think everyone should be able to grasp the information that you are giving
Good stuff boss. I have learned so much from TH-cam, more so than any other source. You are correct that once you find someone with your interests whose work speaks for themselves, you can learn SO MUCH by following them. The only thing i watch on TV now is the daily news (and an occasional NetFlix movie) but mainly i watch TH-cam
All your new videos just made me sure that hitting a Sub was the right decision!

@@TacticsTechniquesandProcedures goal. Haha
@@TacticsTechniquesandProcedures aside from the joking, is the topic in timestamps above still legible and good ?, because your make me feel like the video is useless and shouldn't watch there, which I was going to learn tricks for this topic in the first place =.=
u do this for a living?
@@darkinferno4687 well, if you talking about me, then maybe ? (because I plan to use this video to help me learn other guide to use software and stuff like Blender)
Hi man - lucky I stumbled across your channel. I don’t often leave comments but I thoroughly enjoyed this video. The audio, b-roll and delivery was just superb.
I’m interested to know how you deal with focusing on one thing at a time. There are lots of things I want to learn so end up not focusing on anything.
You've actually become my favorite youtuber and I just came across your page a couple weeks ago by accident. LOVE your stuff. So inspiring
When I saw the title of this video, I thought what kind of video is that? Why would someone make such video but after watching it, I can say it's the most useful and practical video I watched today. Awesome work!
This guy: "I want to teach you to learn how to learn."
American government schools:
*"THAT'S ILLEGAL!"*
American government schools :
[ Anger ]
As growing up in india I always thought that American education system was exceptionally good but as i grew up i learnt that children worldwide are just experiencing the same stuff which I went through
Same also in Philippines (or the school I am taking my classes)
Yes!!! I highly agree with everything you're saying in this video, especially with how much low-quality info there is out there. What I feel helped me get grounded in my field is finding those specific individuals to follow.
great video, a lot of value from it, congrats man. btw where can i buy the watch??? hahah
I just cant be more great full for this, and MattD Avela’s Channels, your videos had literally changed my life into a better path, I even started learning Japanese following the way you did you learn Italian!
To all looking into getting good photography - SEAN TUCKER.
This is video is pure gold!
All my favorite TH-camrs are promoting Skillshare 🤔
AM Productions it has a wide general niche
Skillshare is investigating properly
Maybe because you have a good taste in TH-camrs lol I feel like only good creators promote it idk
It's a scam
@@DaOneJoel, No it's not. You're a sheep. Have you even tried it. (You'll come back to tell me you have, but really have not.) I have, and it is great. (I was not called out, so I have no benefit to telling you that I have benefited from SS.) I also have never watched this youtuber before, so I am not defending him.
my favorite channel right now. i've spent the last 10 years "teaching myself how to learn" from the internet and this sums it up so well. thanks for the great content!
*In the past:* read 100 books on the subject.
Today: listen to 100 podcasts on the subject.
epSos Premium yeah, that's procrastinating.
epSos Premium did you even watch the video?
Es increíble todo lo que tenemos en común. Mi día a día se basa en el auto aprendizaje por internet y lo que mencionas sobre el oro en medio de la basura, no puede ser más real, con la práctica se va volviendo más sencillo identificar información realmente valiosa... Por otro lado, la disciplina se trabaja de a poco, después sin siquiera notarlo te has convertido en una persona muy disciplinada, ordenada y con mucho orden en la vida, lo cual ayuda para seguir aprendiendo mucho más . Gracias por compartir estos consejos que, puedo asegurar, son bastante útiles porque los llevo practicando desde hace mucho tiempo.
Great video dude! Lots of value. I have been using Skillshare for a while now, absolutely love it!
@nathaniel i'm not a person that typically comments on youtube videos; however, the fervour to let you know how impactful and inspirational to me you are is too great. Thank you so much! I'm wondering how you are making all of this work financially? How can others live such a fulfilling lifestyle? Money always tends to be the biggest impairment most times, especially in western societies.
_I love this kind of videos so much_ . It's like treasure experience background. I already add you to my elegible Channel for Cool topics of live.
Thomas Frank, Matt D'Avella and you, provide awesome content
I got recommended this video by the algorithm after watching a Matt D'avella video. Subscribing to this channel for sure
I felt so lucky that I found you. you are so intelligent and have your own unique thought about things.
Hi.
Do you schedule studying/learning hours? Or how do you manage the learning?
I am so happy you made this video. I am a language teacher (both in the states and abroad) and people always get a little weird and uncomfortable when they tell me "I don't think a higher education is necessary." Which is absolutely true. It's not. For me, it is and I'm absolutely okay with that. But for you and your career and many others, it's absolutely not necessary. Traveling is also another thing I am hugely passionate about and that wasn't learned in a book at all. Nor in a huge university classroom. It was learned through lots of research, going to public libraries, articles online, and just buying the damn ticket and leaving. I really appreciate all your videos, themes, and ideas. Originally from Los Angeles but currently living in Ecuador. Lots of love!!
I learn more from books and the Internet in a year than in a lifetime of formal education.
Same thing I've been thinking we sit in a class for 8hrs for what no real skills or knowledge gained in the process
Ambianist Formal education is only existing to maintain the integrity of society, not about personal enrichment and thriving towards ones dreams
Absolutely. And it's so much more engaging and you can skip the boring parts, not like in school...
your videos are a breath of fresh air honestly.
