    PLEASE READ --> Hi everyone, this is a completely different video than normal. Videos will resume back to normal on Monday with an EPIC video by Simon Sinek. I want to explain that College is a perfect solution to many, however to others it may not be a good fit. For myself, it was perfect, for one of my good friends, it wasn't a good fit. If you are currently in college, do not rely on that the piece of paper that you receive at the end to get you far, it is your own commitment and perseverance that will get you far. College is one of the best places on earth to develop networking connections with fellow students and professors, as well as create experiences that are extremely valuable. I want to emphasise that you don't need to go to the best and most expensive school to get the best education or be successful. My advice is to BECOME INVOLVED, make friends with as many people as possible, help others, and be true to yourself. I REPEAT, this is not a video saying that College is useless, but rather we put too much emphasis on a piece of paper, thinking that a degree is going to catapult us to great success. Make the most out of your time, go out there and make connections with other people, and take risks!

      Gustavo Ocampos You completely missed his point idiot. He said that it's good for some people and not a fit for others. Obviously if someone's dream is to become a lawyer or nuclear physicist they would have to go to college(making it a fit) but there's much more out there than those types of jobs. Being an entrepreneur doesn't require college at all and sometimes if you're undecided, college can be the worst mistake of your life cause you wasted tens of thousands of dollars for something you don't want to do

      I agree that a college degree does NOT guarantee success and is not needed to get a good job or be a great entrepreneur!
      My ex-husband has more education, certifications, credentials , and training (I have a BS in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science) than me, but the lazy MOFO doesn’t feel like he needs to work (Has NO work ethic, and thus lives off of others like a parasite), and feels entitled to every thing (yep he’s a lazy narcissist). He literally has not worked for 10 year because he doesn’t want to (and he’s repeatedly told me: “you can’t make me”), and his narcissist mother condones this awful behavior. He blames me for for him not being successful! Such craziness! Thank God I divorced his parasitic narcissistic lazy ass!

      College never was a school, it has always been a business with a misconception of education, you can educate yourself but college discredits self education because it takes away from there bottom line. Which is to make money. So they sell you fake credibility in the form of degrees. The business owners that are hiring implements the credibility into their business a d call it qualifications, all the while distracting you from the truth. You have to be woke to be free of mental slavery.

    As a college freshman, the thing I've learned is that college isn't meant for everyone. I walked into college thinking I'd be taught the career pathway skill of my choice right away, but instead it's just highschool with a ridiculously expensive payload. My dad keeps telling me that freshman year is the hardest year of college because it's basically them testing you to see if you're dedicated enough to get to the skill you wish to learn, but if I'm gonna have to earn the right to be taught the skill I want, then college isn't for me.

    • @briansperryn
      @briansperryn Před 5 lety +292

      Likely that all those jobs will get automated eventually though...
      EDIT:
      To back up what I said: Pilots, doctors and dentists are fairly easy to automate since they deal with the physical world and not the mind. Therapists are a little more difficult, but I think it would be easier than you think to have a robot therapist ask specific questions to help understand the type of trauma + personality and then recommend specific actions to take to help alleviate it. There are already primitive types of this in online surveys.
      Anything with a proven process can be automated.
      There will always be people doing all jobs though for people who want to pay extra for the human touch. It happens like that already today. People book things online because they don't mind not talking to a travel agent.
      Rich people or people who are unsure of technology will always employ people instead of using tech to do the same job.
      Also realise that it's economics driving this activity. Minimum wage keeps going up while people keep wanting more for less. This forces businesses to automate parts of their business that are costing too much to service with people when the vast majority can be served by machine at a fraction of the cost. As a business, automation also allows you to sell more for less.
      This mechanism is exactly why our lives keep improving across the world so dramatically.
      As someone with 20 years of experience in the tech industry, I know there are very few things that can't be automated.
      It's already happening in all industries, but it can be hard to see the next step in the evolution of technology if you don't understand how it works.
      You don't wake up one day and everything is automated. It's been happening for a long time already and it's only accelerating.
      I know this is won't be popular but I think it better to be prepared for the potential of it, because it's already happening.

    It’s not about who makes more money or who has the degree. It’s about what you want to do in life. If you know that you will have a career that doesn’t require a degree, then of course a college degree is worthless. If you go into a job that actually does require a college degree then of course a college degree matters. My advice is to follow your passion and do a little to explore some other things to see what else might interest you. And always remember this, education is bring out, not a degree or an A+

One book was called “the challenge” and it inspired me to start flipping houses. so with my new faith I believed anything is possible and sure enough 3 months after walking out of college I bought my first house for $500! I went to trade school and got my diploma in construction 🔨 I haven’t used it ever to get me jobs! At 20 years old I became a landlord and then at 22 started traveling for the last 2 years (I’m 24 now). I make money all kinds of ways now but none required a degree and I found them all (or should I say they found me) through faith that I will always have what I need through Jesus Christ.

      That is the typical job description for people with nothing else to present. However, I can assure you that if you don't have a college degree, but a kickass portfolio to show them, they will definitely take you into consideration on the same level as any masters student.
      It's all about what you can prove you are worth, and the global norm is to prove it through a school degree certificate - which is why that is stated as the typical application certification.

      @@superman6262 Of course it depends on the type of work you want to apply for, and some study degrees might have certain benefits that are hard to come by naturally. However, in our modern day and age it is indeed possible to obtain literally all information that you'd be taught at a uni, through the internet in one way or another. Not saying all info is out there for you to easily find, or even directly available, but different social circles are out there that you can move yourself into and get in touch with people of a beneficial position.
      For example, most IT based jobs can be acquired through self education and dedication, and a portfolio is not as hard to come by as you might think. I had a friend in highschool who was already building a digital design and web-creator portfolio through work for different local companies, and there are many startups and small businesses who would want to work with less experienced people because it often equals lower payment for the same quality of material produced - as long as the tasks are kept somewhat simple. You just start from basics, and build your portfolio and people you get connected with - and this can be applied to almost all fields as long as you have talent for what you do. I have a friend who is in his early twenties, and even before he turned 18 he was offered a job at the local municipality as a tech advisor because he was good with computers and had found a way to present his abilities through previous freelance work etc. He was still in highschool with no degrees or anything, except the portfolio of freelance work he had been doing, which managed to get him connections inside the municipality office. And now he has that kickass portfolio already (he is still taking a college degree, but it's not out of necessity as much as it being convenient).
      Getting connections is easier now than ever before, doesn't matter how physically far apart you are. I once got in touch with a guy from the States who had seen some of my design work I had been casually posting on an art-related social media platform, and he asked me if he could commission me for some vehicular design tasks. That was my first real-life portfolio worthy assignment, and it wasn't even something I tried to obtain. It's just about being out there and doing what you can to reach the relevant people in your field who already have a foot inside, that can help you along the way. That is basically what many university degrees do as well, they already have a foot inside and they hold the door open for you.
      I have also through facebook groups and competitions come into contact with University teachers from other countries who have been able to give me valuable information, even though I didn't study at their school, and I've met people of very high standings within my field of work (transportation design) who are out there looking for promising talent and potential. There is a lot of help, it's just a matter of finding it.But you gotta be active. Skipping college is definitely not something you should do to save your time, unless you have an insane talent and are already prepared to live off of your work. In most cases it's a tough job to go without an education, but it can grant you a head start and allow you to skip ahead of the queue if you are good at what you do and can obtain the right connections.

      I’m in the trades also-a service plumbing contractor. Our industry has great opportunity, and it’s often overlooked. There is a lack of real professionals and adults (there are too many 40 year old children) in the trades. The ones that have their act together : that don’t do drugs or spend every weekend drinking, that care about their work, etc, last many years with us and make $100-150k easily. And they help solve problems every single day.
      It is a shame that more parents do not encourage their kids to seek the trades but hopefully as we’ve proven to be economy and pandemic resistant (again the service side of things not new construction) and that some serious wages are out there, as well as the satisfaction of helping to create or solve something, that will change.

I have too many friends who have already either dropped out of college or transferred to another one to give college a second try. Stats don't lie either. Countless people with college degrees still work at McDonald's. I'm not a college hater. Hell, I think college can be a great thing depending on what you want to do. I'm just saying it's not for everyone and I hate how society tries to make it seem like you have to go to college when in reality a majority of people end up in debt for years because of it. I'm serving active duty in the Marine Corps which is arguably even better because it gives me job experience (which college doesn't do), teaches me discipline and leadership, makes me do amazing things (travel the world etc.) and it couldn't hurt my resume by stating I served 4 years as an active duty Marine.
