It's better to learn a trade than to go to college.
Practicle skills like farming building plumbing electricians etc.
SeekYeTheKingdome1st W.E.B. and Carver were both correct. The world needs intellectuals and tradesmen.
@@Kyohan137 I'm pretty sure you meant both W.E.B. Dubois and Booker T. Washington were correct - in that Dubois argued that intellectuals (based on his "Talented Tenth" argument) versus Washington's argument that tradesman/vocational skills were the best avenue to build foundational and generational wealth. Indeed - both men are correct...but yeah - Dubois v. Washington was THE classic debate of the early to mid-20th century - www.theodysseyonline.com/washington-du-bois-great-debate - "Washington Vs. Du Bois: The Great Debate" - Dubois was a northern-born Free Black who would later go on to be the first Afro-American to earn a PhD...from Harvard no less, whereas Washington was born into slavery, studied vocational skills at Hampton Institute (Virginia), and then later went on to establish and serve as president of Tuskegee Institute (Alabama). Both men had different perspectives in what were the best ways to pursue forward progress and "racial uplift" (as it was then-called at the time) for Black Americans/former slaves. Their views were based on their very different life-experiences, thus their differing perspectives.
America needs to follow the UK and Germany’s apprenticeship model. Create Apprenticeships for all industries. Not everyone wants to go into construction, plumbing, and welding bruh...
I agree
I'm in agreement with Karen on this one.
Me too I told my son from an early age school will never teach you about the real world, I had to teach him common sence and how to think for himself. My cousin did it best, when her kids were on there school holidays she would detox them and teach them how to pay bills, finance, think for themselves, how to run a business as she would take them on her days where she would sell at the craft Market, making there own body lotion and purfum. So yeah she would deox the dumb down school system out of them the lease chance she would get, and that's how my house is. So my 18yr old now buys and sell high end shoes and tshits and looking to start his own brand.
Fortunately I agree with you Karen. Thank you for touching in this topic
College only teaches students how to be a good employee. It doesn't teach you how to be a BOSS.
@shayla sapphire No one in particular, Shayla. I'm just telling it like it is. Point blank.
Tell me does your boss have a college degree? Because you can not get certain ranks in the military with out a college degree? Like most people's bosses have a college degree.
I beg to differ. It's the exact opposite actually. The misconception is that piece of paper gets you the job it doesn't. In fact it gives you the tools to do for self. You have to find, copy and reconstruct the information so infact you have the tools to be self employed.
Not true
Education does not guarantee you can be a boss. Yes you do need education. You need to know the job. But not everyone can be a boss. Don't get me wrong you can get the position. Being a boss is more than running a business or over others. You need patience, a good listener, empathy, knowing your employees limits. That is taught but talking from over 50 years as a boss . Its doesn't come from being taught. You either have it or not.
Is a higher education worth it? YES... BUT... only if you’re going into STEM or Finance fields. If you’re studying African Americans or Art or Entrepreneurship or sociology/Psychology without going further to pursue a MSW or doctorate degree then you just wasted tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Higher Education is a Business first and a school second.
@Beautiful Rosemary Well said and Well put i totally agree also are you familiar with Dr Claude Anderson works. If not check him out. B1 ✊✊.
Blk Knight he tells you not to get a Masters because you don’t Master nothing. He says this when he himself has a Doctorate. Why I am listening to him again??
@@shaunmc013 He's right but you gotta play the game, so in some cases you have to pursue education. Also keep and mind, which alot of us blk folk tend to forget, we are being taught the European world view, for the most part.
Blk Knight that’s my point you have to play the game in order to thrive in this system on the highest level. How do you think he was able to work in two Presidential Administrations and at the Highest levels of government and receiving a huge pension from it? You’re not going to do that by promising you’re going to work hard! So he’s not right and we all know that what they are teaching in school as far as general education curriculum is bs but we also know that as a minority in this system if that’s what it’s going to take for you not to be another false statistic than you better get educated. So it’s not about the knowledge it’s about securing your economic future in this society. I’m pretty sure that the bachelors she received helped Karen get top salary in her profession when she started out as well. So unless you are an entrepreneur or inherited/ married into some millions, you better get that degree or some certification that shows you are a skilled professional. And that’s the bottom line..
@@shaunmc013 I respect your point of view. Understood. B1.
Proud Alumnus of North Carolina A&T.. I appreciate all my experience..
David Martin let them know Dave!
Unless you need a degree to become a doctor, lawyer, and specialized skill. Your spending alot of money on school. When you graduate more debt and less money. Colleges get their money from the students, the state, and alumni very expensive. A cycle of debt alredy placed on African Americans.
I have educaters in my family and they say the same thing ur saying and telling there high school students get a trade and start ur own a plumber makes on average 6 figures and can become a millionaire with no debt and we're telling our kids get an education with no guarantee of a job 🤔
Just found you & subscribed within a minute. “Know thy self” love it. Thanks
Welcome to the family! Thank you.
State schools have had the same curriculum for a hundred years not pertinent to today's needs.
@Language and Programming Channel -
Yes, if a degree program is properly accredited, what's taught in the Ivy League, Drool Schools, 3rd Tier, Lower Tier, and HBCU's are all the same. The only difference is the pace the information is covered, and the prestige the institution boast about awarding to a student after they graduate.
And the accreditation just states that the accreditation board has identified the degree program to be educating it's students at least at the minimum level allowed by their standards. Folks would be surprised at the number of colleges who's degree programs are on accreditation probation and are close to loosing it's accreditation. Schools don't have to report programs that are on probation, only programs that have lost their accreditation.
Back in the late 90's Dartmouth College (an Ivy League) lost it's accreditation for 3 degree programs. It was soon discovered those programs were on accreditation probation for 10-14 years, but since payoffs were being made towards accreditation boards, the loss of accreditations were delayed.
I LOVE YOU KAREN ROCK OUT ON EM
Automation is headed for us at a high speed. So choose your career wisely
Bill Gates came from a wealthy family and had that wealth to fall back on.
I totally agree that you don't always need a college degree. I don't have one and have been making 6 figures for the past ten years. While all my counterparts have been paying back student loans, I was aggressively contributing to my retirement and will be able to retire in 5 years at the young and vibrant age of 56.
I love this discussion. Dr Gunther came to speak to us and it changed my life.
We need to get more of our kids into HBCUs
Education is priceless.
I'm a college graduate from a HBCU. Many Black men are shut out of corporate America, we need to get back and run the trades (barber, plumber, electrician, police officers, etc.) They make more money than most black men with degrees. (WITH NO DEBT)
Karen I agree with you I always looked at higher education as a scam to keep you in debt. That's Why I don't have a degree. I'm a truck driver and make decent money and love it.
Economic base first then education!!! We r the only group on people who send their children to college to work for someone else!!!
Not talked about! Last hired...first fired
Black studies is an ongoing study that can be achieved on ones own. I'm constantly learning more and 'm 60 with a degree in art. So much knowledge out there without the jaded views of some professor
Speak on it!
As far as an Engineering degree it does. When i read Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser I was surprised to find out that early fast food franchises were started by high school drop outs and they became millionaires There are some engineering feats in the past from people without degrees, but today the knowledge is so in depth its best to get it from a school. I have a Bachelor's in EET and would like to get my Masters soon. Floating around the service, I've been through 7 colleges, in pursuit of a physics degree. I didn't have any knowledge of engineering books until I went for my EET degree and had to learn everything from the computer plug to the inside microchips (yes college taught me how to hook up microchips and make electronic devices), and even programming C and microprocessors. Way back when i was primarily self studying but I realized self studying gets end results in the shop, but not on the resume.
This is a question I had for a long time can't wait to see what other think
Receiving my BA in a few months:
M: Film & TV Studies
m: Black Studies
Previous Degree: Communications Arts & Sciences AAS for Media Technology
Forgot to add----> DEBT FREE!!! Why is there an assumption around college and debt? If you can't afford it, get a job and pay as you go!!! (Oh right, cause y'all want everything quick)
Great video and subject.
I think that higher education is overwhelming financially, because bout time we receive a Master's Degree our Loans are ridiculously high. I disagree when tge spokes lady expressed that owing this money is an inveztment. IS SHE CRAZY! HAVE SHE LOST HER DAMM MIND?
I only have an High School education but I always had a thirst for knowledge from the traditional ways of learning since I was a young child. I always wonder about things a child shouldn’t concerned himself with therefore I was able to SEE a lot at such a young age. I question everything and I mean everything. I didn’t take thing for face value just because SOMEONE said it to be true. My wife have a Master Degree and some student loans debts. We have improved our lives through investments and living OUR BEST LIVES. Would I discourage college? No...but I would discourage getting in debt behind it. My daughter lives with US until she graduates from college and she has her college paid for through scholarships. If you can’t get scholarships and live with parents until graduation. Then seek other methods of achieving your goals. Mines or Ours was through sound “Investments”. The key word “Sound”....
Great post... I like to speak based on my experience. I know it was necessary for me. I found myself. But everyone is different. I was raised all around African Americans in N.J had both parents and they worked 2 jobs each. But when i went to college i went to A private university in the richest area in N.J. it gave me such a incomparable experience of both ends. And eventually in my life i would need to maneuver in both.
OK google is stalking me now because I literally just had a debate about this less than 5 minutes ago with my brother
@Karen Hunter I totally agree with you and beliebe im in that same space. I didnt strategically enter I college instead passion was involved and in the helping profession you need your masters just to obtain employment paying 50-60 and if you have no experience and just school thats another obstacle to hurdle which is my story now...I have an AA amd Bachelors in SW and currently in grad school and make 30k, and I'm nowhere near my 20's.
I'd like to see the numbers on who's out of work during this shelter-in-place - college grads or those who didn't go to college. Every time I go to the hospital and I see Asians with foreign accents. What do they know that we don't? Do your research. Is it worth it to go into the humanities? No, not financially. We need to stop going to college to study Communications and Social Work and then being surprised that we are still poor and in debt.
The issue is. As a culture. We’re not using our education to START careers in MAJOR industries to compete on a grander scale economically. IF we would join forces from with those degrees in different areas to structure businesses or townships. As opposed to getting those degrees to get jobs to compete with one another. It would absolutely be worth the investment. Steve Jobs used his knowledge to CREATE an industry and compete. Not to simply work in one
What must be understood is that not only do you get a different type of education at some schools, but you also get access to their alumni networks. If you do not have eyes and ears in the know then how can you glean necessary info.
Higher education is definitely worth it, but accruing debt to get it is definitely not worth it! Take your time and pay as you go with what you have whilst investing in something (e.g. property) that pays you without costing you "time". Just a thought; informing others based on my own mistakes 😥
I agree with you sis 100%
The value of higher education is based on the holder of the earned degree and his or her's application of the degree in the pursuit of endless and accessible opportunities coupled with building relationships to leverage the utility of said education.
When someone questions you getting a education. Tune that shit out! My parents worked two jobs each so I could get my masters,then, I continued on to get a PhD..My kids will go to college. Their kids will go to college..My grandparents would say...Everyone can’t be a doctor or a lawyer. BUT ANYONE CAN BE STUPID! That’s free, takes no effort and you’ll be surrounded by with that same mentality.
There is no “better” it comes down to what’s best for the individual. But let’s be honest college is big business period. There is no valid reason to spend 4 years racking up debt on elective coarsest that have nothing to do with your major except to pump money into the shareholders pockets while I personally know too many people with degrees that are nothing more than conversation pieces at cocktail party’s.
Higher Learning is not Higher Learning but it is LESSONS on how the world really works, MONEY! You pay for classes you will never need but required for your major, you have to buy books for ridiculous prices that the professor wrote and sell them back for 70 percent to 80 percent less of what you paid, and among other things, you can be screwed over when you discover one of the biggest cover ups in ALL UNIVERSITIES offered things to stay quiet but removed when you don’t! (Personal Experience) and why to this day I will not be taken to court since 1997! College is good for skill positions (doctors, engineers, etc) but only classes are needed individually for most other careers.
Home taught of yourself should be done regardless of college!
No! 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
What are the other options ?
You said a mouthful, get in and get out, my daughter got her Bachelors and Masters in 5 yrs in five yrs. Will return in 2020 for her PHD, 96 credits and she hit the ground running with that. Too many kids just laying up college not matriculating trying to delay adulting.
Research which careers earn the most money and major in that... problem solved.
Education isn't a scam but majors in things like African American psychology is... unless you're already wealthy.
Wow this is real talk and the red pill
Spoken like humanity majors....this is why I see stem fields as superior.
Yes, it is
We all should be educated. I went to college it was a great experience. I myself attend college, I haven't yet gotten my degree. But I still agree with Karen it is a lot of hype. A lot of us go get a higher education because what our parents say. To get good education and get good job. When a lot of our parents never attended college. I know a lot of people with degrees, in don't have a job and there field. I also feel that we need to learn more trades as well. In when comes to higher education, if you just want to attend places like Harvard and Yale that's your business. I feel more of us should be going to HBCU'S.

Understood
She's asking this as an obviously very educated women. Education has enhanced her life and it will enhance yours. Don't just think $$$. Go deeper.
Wonderful!!!!! I had a disagreement with you on another matter. But you were so on point with the answer to this subject. I quit college and I was on the honor roll at the highest level of the schools academic grading and tutoring students at the university, as well. The reason I quit going was for the reason the gentlemen stated. I was at a state school and I was told by a "white" political science teacher that we would be subjected to certain criteria of employment in the private and public sectors. Now here is the thing that was the reason that I quit. I consider myself a learned person. I like to study and find the challenges of study. This is a difference than being indoctrinated. Some need to be indoctrinated into a system. This is their survival mechanism, They need a coping mechanism for their survival. And getting that degree and job is that coping mechanism for a myriad of reasons. Grandma told them they are the first to graduate college. They were told it is the only way out, so forth and so on. But they are not being taught critical thinking. And this is paramount to the survival of the Black and Brown community. It once was called "common sense". The Bible speaks of it as Wisdom, knowledge and understanding. So we have to remember that once one becomes indoctrinated into a system or culture. They buy into the rules of it. To brainwash them back to critical thinking of community and others of your community being first is paramount in getting our people to think critically. But in this culture we are led to believe that if you have achieved a certain amount of success through your higher education. You have been elevated to a status above the lesser or have not's. Not only is this simplistic. But it has become dangerously destructive to the black community family and society as a whole. Those who think they have found success. Have abandoned the lesser of the community as failures. As I have told my children, use your mind constructively. If you find you need education for a career path go for that reason. But know who you are and where you came from and what you must do to put back into your people and family. I tell my grandson a different path. He needs to study a discipline that will benefit his people. To bring back to the community a discipline that will benefit our future and those in our communities. The reason I tell him this is because he is a video game child. He has not developed the critical thinking criteria that I learned. He has been sheltered because of the violence from our communities. So now he must learn and adhere to a discipline until he can develop that critical thinking criteria. And with patience and love from his grandpa and family. We might be able to get him there in manhood. You see a generation biblically is every 20 years. Since we sold ourselves out to integration almost 60 or more years ago. We have regressed over 3 generations. This is a lot of time to make up. And we need to get busy. However, to do this we will need help. Because the enemy has to much of a lead on us in numerous ways. So our help is going to come from a supernatural source. And that source is a faith and trust in the black messiah Yahawashi the Christ. Many may not believe it. But I have yet to see a black or brown leader who has the power to reverse or change what the enemy has done to our people.
We can disagree without being disagreeable.
All the education you need is to read and write and know math and of course you're real history everything else is bs
As black people go I don't think we have a choice but to at least educate ourself not necessarily college but at least learn some kind of trade /apprenticeship
The question has to be asked. If Mrs Obama has a minor in African American studies. How is it that her husband can be in the highest office in the land and not do anything specific for African Americans?
Yes Sister is on point the higher education is another form of slavery
Slavery? How is that?
No because I went for the higher learning thing and when they seen my name they were going up they. heard my voice it sounded like them but when they seen my face they said we'll call you
I believe higher education is worth every penny if your degree is leading you into a career that is in damand. So many people are paying for degrees that lead them to unemployment and debt. Learning a trade leads to less debt and faster employment. I would suggest learning a trade first then pursue your passion for higher education and so on..
It depends on what education. A degree is good, but you must have street smarts too. One without the other isn't good.
Let me say that I have EARNED my Phd on concert stages and clubs all over the world. Yes, many of the greatest musicians and could not be accepted to teach THEIR music at schools because of those who are afraid and insecure about something they don't know nor understand. Elders should be embraced for their experiences and knowledge of their art, be it music dance visual arts creative writing African American studies and more. I do not look to western " eyes " for. Validation. Just know the great artists of our culture , most didn't have college degrees but earn d their PhDs paying dues, hard dues on the road . All the while watching others " teach " our musics in their lofty positions in educational institutes where we are not represented. 4 Real. Where is the bridge from young to elders. Who has the knowledge ? Remember this : " Real Eyes , Realize, Real Lies.......
Hey miss Karen how are you
She looks like she used to play the trumpet.
Take that cornball ass s*** and stick it up your ass all you do is troll this woman and you sound like you played the flute which is a basically a woman's instrument the way you follow this woman around and bytch all day
Great subject! I spent 4 years writing a book on Amazon called College Debt Slavery. Look it up :)
Higher learning is just Indoctrination not Education.
You can also pay for your degree if you're a rich movie star
The flip side of so many Black women getting degrees is they are also more in debt and will be paying that back the majority of their life. I graduated from college but was on a full athletic scholarship so I came out with no debt. However after 13 years in corporate America I left and got into the electrical trade through a union apprenticeship. Best move I could have ever made. I work for the utility company but also I'm licensed and can go out and hustle up jobs for myself.
Jonathan Collins you wouldn’t have gotten into corporate if you didn’t have that degree though right?
@@shaunmc013 that is true. My daughter will be going to college next year but we are looking for every kind of scholarship we can find. There are thousands of them out there that can really add up.
Yes & No
I have always said that I it's very asinine for a white Professor to be teaching black kids black history
Many white professors and educators are both uncomfortable and NOT truly knowledgeable in African and Afro-American studies - what is mostly taught is the "sanitized" and watered-down version of African and Black history. Does anyone honestly think Non-Black educators have true incentive to teach truthful, correct, and unmodified versions of Black history when so much of European colonial and imperialist, along with U.S. colonial, settler, and their descendants' histories are glaring examples of genocide, rape, murder, centuries of chattel slavery under tortuous and inhumane conditions, legalized Jim Crow segregation/American apartheid, open racism, inequality, and discrimination...along with racist vigilante intimidation, violence, and murder, etc., etc.? It's a very long list of European and U.S. atrocities against Africans, African slaves, Free Blacks, former slaves, and their descendants (i.e. - Black Americans). It makes sense they'd be uncomfortable and willingly downplay African and Black American history...if they could even face the truth of their ancestors' behavior.
Old girl said...."HE" is an experience..... 🤔🤔🍆🍆😂
The purpose of an education is to provide a living and contribute to society. You can not do that in spaces they dont want you and where it FURTHER defragments your existance in a society where you are JUDGED by skin color regardless of success
Depends y’all. Got to do the roi. When it comes to the humanities, be very weary of what they’re teaching (I.e. indoctrination). But in the objective spaces, the sciences, math, engineering & Tech higher ed is largely the best avenue,though even there ROI still has to be weighed.
And truth be told, many IT jobs can be had with a community college degree or certification ( like a network engineer)
African American and psychology degrees.......doesnt like a lucrative career.
Read a book about African history
Agree! Unless its a full ride scholarship
the caller's theory MAY have some weight. the new push (check out the testing ground in FL) is setting kids on a college versus vocational track. there are FIVE diploma types kids can receive from the SAME high school. you have your standard, vocational, IB and then two more (I think one is stem based and the other something like AP). there is an associated pipeline for these degrees but if I remember if u chose vocational, you have not met the minimal standards for admittance to a 4year college/university. so graduate at 18 and not know your career path and be prepared to pay for college ready courses in community college.
when I hear the caller speak, it makes me think of those degree offerings and the long term financial implications for kids who are unsure of career paths at 18 (like most). when they DO figure it out, the challenges will be far greater and serve as a deterrent?
Soul Glow, the unfortunate reality in urban public school systems is that particular ethnicities are ill equipped, lack motivation, limited family support with the pursuit of Higher Education, intimidated by venturing towards changing their environment, zero connection with School Counselors, negative peer pressure, don't think beyond their present survival, no outlined goals, few positive examples of adult family members obtaining anything beyond High School, attitude and delusional belief that Reality Television is the ticket to stardom, local success in High School Sports will open doors for signing a contract in professional sports, hasn't been introduced to business and mentors who can provide guidance and direction to prosperous careers. The mindset for these misguided and confused modern-day young people is that someone owes them something. Easy to fall into the systematic exploitation mindset that illegal Hispanics and other immigrants are taking AMERIKKKA jobs. Sad reality that our uneducated, poverty-stricken mindset, misguided modern-day young people have been brainwashed into believing the political lies that keep you a SLAVE in AMERIKKKA!

Things our parents n community should have invested in Afrikan studies for the youth. Learn your history in your community.
No
If you're black know it doesn't matter nothing in this world matters people don't realize what's going on and what their enemies are doing to them especially the people who call themselves African American now you cannot find that name nowhere in the Bible so how can you be African American the African Americans are the true Hebrew Israelites God's chosen people
She keeps talking experience and that's the problem. College experience doesn't teach you how to get a job or negotiations.
University is I'm your mama I'm your daddy I'm that nigga in the alley I'm your school loan ?
I hate the college is not worth bullshit because, you make more money on average going to college. Most people who say college is not worth it went to college! Where are all the people who did not go to college saying college is not worth it? A degree is worthwhile when it does not leave you with crippling debt , provides you a higher wage than someone in your field with out a degree and allows you to create connections that can help you get a job. Most of the famous college dropouts used the connections they made IN COLLEGE to help them when they dropped out(Microsoft, Paypal, Facebook & etc.) . School prestige is overrated because, if your in a top 100 school your teacher went to a top 50 school. Their is hardly any wage difference between the top 100 schools but, a massive tuition differences. Second off if Karen Hunter thinks she could of got any of her teaching jobs at colleges with out a college degree she is crazy!
Sadly lefty liberal "higher education" does not provide an education. Rather it gives a false narrative "indoctrination".
Do you work with Dr Boyce Watkins on any level. I think you are brilliant, may God continue to bless you. God expect more out of people than you do, so push on right on. I am my Father son and he is perfect in his justices if he can get black people to listen to him. From listening to you we are for everyone doing well and working together on purpose. I say one of the best thing for Caucasian is black people, who is black speaking the truth to them about so many lies they have put out there. Do any other race of people challenge whites about all those lies? Now with technology it is easy to lie and the amount of lies even to the President telling the whole world to help tell more lies to the public. God is my Father is whom I am referring to trust in him to lead, and guide you because He is The Way and The Truth and Life. Let Him help you learn how to rest in Him so that He carry the weight so that you can rest. Love you James.
Listen up"DarkNation" all you have to do is just study "The Protocol of The Learned Elder of Zion" that if you want to know what going on and why things are happening. Protocol 6 Take-Over Technique. PBUY!
My concern has been the focus on attaining a degree as an automatic creator of successful outcomes. I worry that a lot of effort for our young people has been on 'going to college' as a destination for their success when the conversation should be about whether college is or is not necessary for a student's LIFE mission. If you are intending to be a lawyer, teacher, engineer, doctor, vet, or dentist, then college is a necessary part of the process. However, if going to college is not a part of a greater educational process, every other question should be focused on whether going to college would allow for an enriched educational experience that can be built upon. How often do we talk to our kids about the importance of relationship building in college, or mentorship opportunities in college or even asking if college is necessary for what they want to do.
I could say so much more but I think we should actively talk to our kids about 1) Do you want to rule the world? 2) if the answer is yes, HOW do you rule it? and 3) If going to college is a necessary part of the process?
I can see what he’s saying. America’s education system is not very good in comparison to civilised countries. They have whole faculties dedicated to sports for some reason. It’s education for profit so it’s motives are suspect.
themarbleking you do know that there are plenty of high paying careers in sports administration right?
The majority of industries now require some completion of Higher Education today. The immigrants that have arrived are enrolled in Community Colleges now more than the African American Decedents of Slavery now. Becoming bilingual is not emphasized and pursued enough by AMERIKKKA'S urban and rural youth. College is called a Scam now because the young and uneducated modern-day plantation commodities masquerading as free independent thinkers have not figured out how to succeed and play the game. One does not have to accrue excessive student debt today. It is a trap and many think and believe that they are to live a lucrative lifestyle as a poor college student. How about investing time in researching and applying for scholarships, seeking out paid internships, working part-time jobs and saving money to help minimize debt. What ever happened to common sense in AMERIKKKA? Everyone is not born or blessed with a gold spoon to eat with in attending college. Past time to grow up young people. No one owes you anything. Prepare to get yours and you will learn to appreciate life. Pray and ask Yahweh for strength, guidance, direction, protection and finances in order to achieve your Higher Education goals. Struggle is part of life. How does one expect to learn if you have not experienced some type of hardships? Produce instead of always consuming. Those who produce make the rules. Study China. Every nation will eventually dance to their tune.
Andre Smith this is hands down the best response I’ve read to this topic 🥇🏆🥇. Peace and Blessings brother and thank you for keeping it real and letting them know. I can’t believe this is even a topic. But it stems from the entitlist mentality that most Americans have bro.
So Karen Hunter has a BA in English Literature and she’s questioning education? It’s simple folks: you get an education in America to thrive in this system they designed. Black people we can’t afford to be mislead - unless you’re an entrepreneur are inherited/ married into millions you better get that degree and stop bsing around..

She sounds like a leftist conspiracy theorist
You "Evolved" to say Higher Education is a scam?? It's good thing my degree's disproves your "Evolution".
PrinceTheSigma as a whole it’s a scam. I had a walking class in college to make me a “well rounded” person lol. It’s important to remove yourself and your achievements away from the conversation and look at how many other people go and are struggling. The fact that these institutions offer you degrees in subject matters that won’t give you a return on investment tells you that it’s a scam. I’m not saying don’t go to college, I went to college. We need to start having return on investment conversations so that we can make informed decisions about what institutions we should go to and what majors we should be majoring in. I’m happy for your success tho prince
