"$2000 in school books - which is a SCAM within a SCAM" truer words have never been spoken 😂😂😂😂
Lol unbelievable all that2 money for a dam book these people are crooks
Yeah when I went to U the average book was $15 and a really special one was $35. And I thought THAT was expensive!
It's absolutely a racket! 🤯
Shit most people will never even read those books.
Get the same book for less on Amazon lol
I had a worthless required Business Communications class...where the professor was in on a textbook scam. He had selected chapters from a textbook published by the university, priced it at $120 and required it for the class. These selected chapters came from an old book that you could buy whole on Amazon for about $10.
Education will get you a job, self education will make you rich. When I learned this it changed everything for me, went from broke to nice living with my internet businesses. Invest in yourself no matter your age.
Good to see your hard work pay off. Keep grinding!
I'm Jack's Nipples ye deffo a good think to ask
This is also my path!
Best piece of advice I can give, focus on 1 skill you want to learn that you believe can make you 6 figures and stick to it for 6-12 months. Give it all you got and don’t be distracted by shiny objects. This is exactly what I did, but it took me a few years to understand it, I got a few vids on my channel that might help the few of you asking how. Like I said self-education and discipline is what defines success in any business.

I wasn't aware colleges do not pay taxes. This makes me absolutely sick. My student loans are earning $42 a day in interest. Absolutely disgusting.
I make over 6 figures a year as a union heavy equipment operator.
I have ZERO debt and hundreds of thousands in savings.
Need help? Just ask....
@@TheBandit7613 I have an accounting degree, but it's still not worth the amount of debt lol. I always thought heavy equipment would be fun. I heard they make tons of money.
I've done well for myself, but I'm still looking at other options. I'm still young. How long have you been operating heavy equipment?
No, colleges belong to the elites. Of course, they don't pay taxes. Harvard is skull and bones, so is Yale.
@@TheBandit7613 how
@@joeykabs1150 He doesn't have hundreds of thousands in savings.
He's flat out lying.
Specifically because anybody with that much of a golden egg wouldn't have it in savings. There's tons of other places to have money where they aren't losing money based solely on inflation alone.
A savings account is almost always low yield, the target inflation is 2% in the US. Anything in a savings account is literally going down in value. Also banks are only insured up to $250,000 so anything more than that in a bank account is just stupid.
I want to know how we can hold colleges accountable. I have 2 children in college right now. 80% of their classes are ONLINE. Not only that, there are NO Professors involved. They are basically teaching themselves for $23,000 a semester!
Ouch. I feel ya
For a piece of paper and a resume entry. First job after college is when you really start to learn in chosen field... I wouldn’t do college these days... but you have to be sensible and strategic which they don’t teach in high school or college.
Boy is your family getting the shaft!!!
Ha it’s your fault tho should have looked into it more.
Alot of colleges are teaching yourselves in the first place. Trust me most teachers are ass who know thr topic nut can't teach to save their family.
Spent $1,500 to get my CDL-A at the age of 21, worked at a company for 3 years making around $70k/year, lived with my parents and save most of my money, then I started my own trucking company now Im making over $100k/year. My cousin got a psychology degree from a UC over $40k in debt and works for me.
How much did it cost you to get your biz up and running?
Awesome rock on brother !
So, you're brother is now your personal psychologist? JK... :) Good going!
You're an inspiration 👍
I did 4 years. Graduated with my bachelors in biology of science with Honors from FAU. I couldn't get a job that would.pay atleast 20$ an hour. So i studied for less then six months and got my roofing license and now making over 100k a year and not working every day.
Learn a trade, start a business....if you fail...start something else...repeat until you find success
words of wisdom
learn a trade > what do you man by that?
M V shhhhhhhhh schools and the government wouldn’t want you telling people that
@@adrianpedraza8612 trades like training to be a plumber, electrician, HVAC technician, etc
Learn, start, fail, repeat...
College is required for professions such as engineering, medicine and the law. Trades such as auto mechanic, plumber and electrician can be covered through apprenticeships and on the job training. Oh I forgot, America considers being a 'tradesperson' as low level until you need one!
Yup. And majority of public schools and teachers say “Go to college” meanwhile a mechanic earns so much more than them.
People turn their nose up at so many good paying blue collar jobs (good union jobs in northern states) that start off making more than the crappy standard 45-50k office job basically fetching coffee. Plus your trade is portable easier to start your own company when you are ready.
Trade people are more way more valuable then English teachers, psych majors, hell maybe even athletes
I'm not even sure it should be required for those professions anymore: all the knowledge can be learnt online from the best in the world, yes, you could have in person exams and practical lessons, but then it would be very similar to a trade, just longer... No reason to pay that much or have to sit in class for hours everyday
@@IM12111 YES! Is the rule of offer-demand applied to jobs vs wages
A wise man once said "not everyone is supposed to go to college, someone has to drive the trucks". If you make everybody special then nobody is.
The truck driver is making $90K/year with no college debt.
I'm dead right now XD
Unfortunately employers of skilled labor are wrapped up in it too. Many of them won't hire you without a degree.
I drove that truck for years. I would much rather go to college. Truck drivers don't make as much as you think. Getting 2 days off a MONTH is not a way to live.
@@Pr3ct What driver do you know that's making 90 grand? If you're an owner Op, yeah you can make that much, but you've got 40-50 grand worth of expenses. I was a driver for years. No thanks.

Thomas Kolter - I got dragged through a brutal & quite unnecessary divorce because my X saw it as a useful diversion to avoid facing up to her toxic childhood ! The fact she wrecked the entire family was of no consequence to her. So I found myself confronted with a toxic "socio"- legal system that had been weaponised by the femiNAZIS such that the institution was broken & to use an engineering term "not fit for purpose" - Nothing in my life had prepared me for the amount of life kr@p I was being given because these idiots had naively bought into the stereotypical false ideologies of so called "feminism" Having accepted that the cause of my LEARNING DEFICIT was a conventional education system that once you get past the 3Rs ( Reading/wRiting/aRithmetic ) is pretty useless & certainly doesn't teach you how to cope with life in a species where 90% are dysfunctional I decided to re-educate myself about the "dark side" of our species -societies by getting on the internet. So while my life has been financially ruined by my X ( back then I was operating in an information vacuum/ no internet & no Freedom of Information Act ) & have now become a much more psychologically mature more evolved person.

Not the same because you need to develop soft skill such as leadership, communication, teamwork, or problem solving and you do that in school. learning in the internet is just showing you have educational knowledge but it doesnt show how you apply it for a real job. Plus sometimes you need to do hands on work or lab especially if youR an engineer and school provide you that resources. Leaning online is not the because back then we donT have internet in the 80 oR 90.
I’m 18 and my older brother always told me that college is a scam and most of the people that earn a degree aren’t smart enough to get a job on top of their 100k debt. I just graduated from highschool and I’m heading to lineman school in 3 weeks to learn a trade and the starting salary ranges from 80k - 120k a year. After I save up I’m starting a business or investing in something that I think will make me money. I’m one step ahead of the game with no financial responsibilities and a long life to live. This video should be an eye opener to many high schoolers that think they’re obligated to go to college.
You won't get paid anywhere near that as a starting salary but yeah college can be a scam depending on where you want to work
@@lasenyo7705 not to mention you have your apprenticeship and certifications to go through. This level of pay is attainable in 5-10 years depending on how you play your cards. But you better be damn sure you know your shit, there’s a reason for the hazard pay. I’m not trying to shit on you, I think you have a great idea of what you want to do and you sound like a smart kid, just make sure your expectations are within reality or else you’ll be that guy that can’t stop living in the past saying “oh I could have made this” or “I should have done that”
💯💯💯
@@lasenyo7705 He won't miss it by much, but you're right. That 80-120 is post apprenticeship.
Sad thing is, you'll be among the ones paying for the baristas' student loans
Since I graduated from college, I have been an advocate against going to college. It is a waste of money and time, and it is the biggest scam of all time.
Me too! I received two bachelors degrees (business and computer science), and I don’t need any of it for my current job. Employers won’t even look at me for technical jobs (due to no experience or certification). I’m pissed that I wasted time and money ($55,000 and now $80,000 after interest)!!
So very, very true!
rmisionero indeed
It's true yet it's a mistake as well.. For you to be able to work, the employers will still be selective by seeing the grades, degrees, and experiences obtained during those days you are in colleges. Yes, in the final selection phase, the degree may not actually play any significant part, but it's the 'gateway' for you to pass 1st filtration.
Unless you're one of the few geniuses. Please don't include them in this discussion since they won't be paying at all thanks to scholarships.
@rmisionero | What did you get a degree in and are you working now? If so, doing what?
I saw this coming 40 years ago, along with education stepping aside for indoctrination. I was an educator.
I mean it was already going on 40 years ago.
As was I, taught 16 yrs (VOC ED), as an engineer, ages 38-54. Finished up as a steam plant operator at UNCG.
Having gone to college, not having it do a damn thing for me, and still paying off debt 7 years later, I can tell you it's not worth it.

bruciie tube Yes but the industry would shift to offer 8 year professional academy’s or apprentice programs. College is ineffective at creating valuable business minded graduates.
The resources universities have cant be accessed online. You cant carbon data on your laptop, you cant do DNA analysis, do chemistry experiments, look at anything under a microscope... watch silence u and read about tuition increases and administration and you'll see why tuition..well in the last 15 years at my school. Tuition has doubled, but I dont get paid double what I did when I started.
I remember the feeling sitting in class for years stiff and bored wasting my life away learning nothing breathing the stale air of 30 other kids just as sick as i am.
It stopped being about education when it turned into a for profit business. Years ago we dropped our son off at a college campus in PA along with thousands of other kids... as we were unloading his personals I overheard one of the senior staff members remark ( half of these people will drop out within a year ) it was like she was saying we have your money now you can go.
😮
Anybody that is willing to say that (whether to your face or) behind your back, is vile trash. I am incredibly sorry that you've experienced that. I hope your children are doing better.
Funny how these schools that teach and preach socialism, love capitalism when it comes to them making money.
Preach it‼️‼️
we have socialism in our capitalism, they aren't two different things, in most countries they are intertwine. In you didn't know
Bingo!
@@namenotfound8747 Really?
My undergraduate alma mater is like that. Several professors there have made the news with statements or incidents that are outright socialist, communist, or just plain crazy--but they sure don't mind hitting the alumni up for money.
The last financial figures I saw indicated that it costs about $75,000 per year--but that's OK, because almost everybody is on some kind of scholarship or student assistance. That makes it fair and equitable.
Plus, for the elitists among us, they still have Greek fraternities and sororities.

A degree *helps* employ you, but a skill makes you valuable.

I've said this for years. I was ashamed going to a technical school and getting an AAS degree at first. Now I'm proud of it. Paid the school off, zero debt and around $100K/yr. salary in the Healthcare field as a technician.
How? What career?
Before I went to college, I thought college graduates had some secret education that I wouldn’t understand until I too went to college.
After I graduated, I realized it was just a waste of time. I don’t remember crap from college 🤮
Did you at least get a job in your field?
What I don't understand is why I need to take English 101 or Humanities to learn how to become an Ultrasound Technician or a Car Mechanic? Why do I need to waste 4 years of my life when I can learn the skills essential to my trade in 2 years or less? It's about learning a skill so I can earn money to live. Academia for academic sake is great if you are training to become a teacher that will train the next generation.
Just social liberal indoctrination
A smart man once said, “ education is the kindling of a flame, not a filling of a vessel”.

Courtney Durham no good reason. College needs to be a place for scholars and that’s it. Everything else can be replaced with trade specific schools and apprenticeships.

This is true for many students, it is called "University Experience", they attend the university to participate in social life, parties and sports, studying is something secondary, universities know it and encourage it because that is how they get thousands of fools who pay a lot of money for knowledge that they could easily have obtained in any public library or internet.
Best education system is relationship between older experienced worker and apprentice.
I agree, but not everybody have those family or social connections. It used to be that if your father is in a certain profession, you can expect to be in the same profession. With the education system, some less fortunate folks can have a shot at learning a trade without the social connections.
One of the pros of nepotism
Depends on what your doing. Some jobs, especially and math and science based jobs, need a formal education first.

Then the company I worked for paid $25,000 for my masters degree which bumped my pay up to 120k. I picked a degree in demand.. NOT a degree that makes me feel all fuzzy inside. I work 7 hours a day, make 120k, and spend the rest of my time all warm and fuzzy living life the way I want.

Starting a college is an amazing tax hideout
Kids go to college to learn what people before them used to learn in high school.
I agree, and I have a B.A. and an MA, but from long ago when it meant more than now. The education helped me tremendously but the degrees didn't ever help me professionaly.
In fact, it was generally held against me, by bosses that were afraid I could replace them. High School used to be "high", that is quality, not non-sobriety. Now it is a warehouse for students. I recommend that younger students consider the trades, welding, plumbing, electrician, etc., They pay well.

Now working 40 hrs a week with dumb workers making average income
I transferred from the National Guard to the regular army when it finally became apparent that my political-science degree wasn't going to get me hired anywhere else. When I got out, I figured my combination of education and experience (including Gulf War combat) would be enough to get "a foot in the door" somewhere. I figured wrong. I was magically transformed from "inexperienced college kid" to "overqualified veteran." Fortunately, I was a pretty good student in high school and received enough scholarship and grant money to not actually have to borrow a dime until my junior year, so I was out of debt by the time I was discharged and didn't owe a crushing amount in any case...but it still wasn't worth it.
I wish college was the biggest scam. There is also the federal reserve, healthcare system, and war on drugs.
Don't forget social security
And much more.
regime change wars also
Shorty marriage isn’t a scam. Marriage is good. The system that exists around marriage was built to destroy marriage. Don’t hate marriage. Hate the government system of it.

I'm so glad I saw the scam & didn't go to college like most aimless young adults, who willingly went into massive debt without even knowing their major
The problem is that most students go in full time and that's why they are in debt instead of taking a few classes per semester and work at a job
I’m only going to college for a piece of paper, knowing full well I could’ve learned everything online 😕
The qualification will mean more than the learning 👌
@@Bobo-jy5mg that's facts. College is important because you need the degree to get the job you want.
Kent Horvath bro who are you talking to? Ahaha calm down
Kent Horvath your telling him to chill the fuck out 😂 he's right take a breather. And there are plenty of online university that are highly reputable and teach the information just as well.
@Kent Horvath shut'cho bitchass up
I feel really sick about this. Our schooling is Corrupt. And that is disgusting
Everything is corrupt these days...
Well to add to your depression I’m a Mexican construction worker , when I came to the US they bumped me up ONE FULL YEAR in HS after taking a test, they said I had about 30% English (it’s taught In Mexican schools by default) and I was way ahead of American students in everything. Moreover I know Mexicans that have taken their kids back to Mexico and guess what , lo and behold it isn’t rare for a US student to be DEMOTED one full year because of underachieving...in fact I know two kids personally. The US education system is a joke... and college a huge scam. Now that said, my son is in college now to become a robotics engineer ... he was a math gifted student in Hs. I only agreed to him going to college because I don’t want him building houses like I do but I’m afraid of him not learning anything and struggling to get a job. We are paying cash for his college tho , to hell with those loans. Pray for us
The problem begins in early public education for most of us that weren't born with a silver spoon in our mouth. By the time we "graduate" from high school, we should be way more prepared to tackle more advanced subjects in college but we are not. I once worked as a math tutor in a community college branch on a poor part of town. The majority of the people I helped couldn't even add positive and negative numbers...and they either graduated HS or got their GEDs to enter community college. What does that tell you? It tells you that most teachers from K-12 don't care.
@@AutotuneSucksBalls Dave, I believe you 100%! When I was in middle school (in Texas) my cousins from Mexico used to laugh at the math homework I had when they used to come to visit. These cousins were many times younger than me. I didn't understand that for years especially since the USA is the richest country in the world and Mexico, without trying to be disrespectful, is no where near that. But I have a theory that I think its worth looking into. Tell me what you think. Many decades ago, public education in America was DELIBERATELY dumbed down. Why, because they didn't want too many prepared and qualified American citizens for corporations to have pay them good salaries and benefits. Instead, they preferred smarter foreigners who worked harder, worked longer hours, complained less and did it all for less pay. Same reason manufacturing was shipped over seas. The only thing I disagree with you Dave is what you said, "I don't want him building houses like I do". He is your son and have every right to wish for him to do this or that, but I ask you, what is wrong with building houses? Did you know that there are many immigrants, like yourself, that have prospered in this country and even become wealthy by working with their hands. You yourself just stated that you are paying cash for your son's college education. That tells me that you make more than the average college graduate. How many college graduates are in debt for being pushed by their high school counselors to go to college at any cost and pay off their loans once they graduate? Instead of telling some of them the truth, that they weren't college material, and encouraged them to study a trade instead? They misled them! I took wood shop and metal shop in middle school. By the time I got to High School, the only trade class was basic auto mechanics but shortly after I graduated, they did away with that too. So the new push was for American kids from public schools to go to college regardless if they could afford to do so or not, or worse, whether they qualified to go to school or not. The loans would take care of it. Look at this country now. I've been working for IT for a few years now, and though it pays ok, I don't think I want to do it forever. For one, they expect you to master more and more new technology that keeps changing by the minute but does not necessarily pay you more for it. Plus it isn't healthy to sit down for 10 hours behind a desk each day and going home too mentally tired to want to do anything else. I'm am actually in the process of practicing small drywall repair to make some money on the side and who knows, maybe starting a little business doing it. In construction, you get a workout while you are making money. And if you are smart, like you, you make a darn good living at it. The problem in this society Dave is that blue collar work, including working with your hands, was stigmatized and became unattractive to young students. That is why my dad, like you with your son, with a good intention in his heart, probably made a mistake in telling me to go to college and not do drywall like he did. He probably just went by Spanish TV campaign ads that encouraged Hispanics to go to college, or encourage their kids to do the same. So I say again, how did that turn out with the student loan crisis we face now in America?
the system was built by the SmallHats designed to corrupt western civilisation and its working, we need to WAKE UP to the zionist regime
One of his best lately here! Amazing content.
I wanted to be a surgeon, I wanted to save lives and help prevent tragedy, but my dreams were crushed before I could even work on making them come true.
Thanks America for making college so expensive that it discouraged me from pursuing my goals.
Would that had required 10 years of schooling?
I realized college was the biggest scam when I attended UConn and I took a film class and every class we watched a movie and our homework was to compare the two movies every week
Damn bro. That’s sad.
lmfaooo!!!!!
Damn.
Seriously? That teacher should be fired.
Bro come on 😂 I joined a video production class because I was thinking of starting vlogs but no, nothing about cameras or photos, instead we learn the history of movies and how cameras work, I need to learn how to work a camera, not how they were made 🤦♂️ only in America
No way I'm letting my children take on 100's of thousands in debt to graduate and work at starbucks.
Then what..
Sudipto Sarkar teach them to be entrepreneurs.
My mother told me J.D. from Harvard, B.S. Engr from MIT, M.D. from Johns Hopkins.
Your not working at "Starbucks"
Chance Greer They don’t even have to be entrepreneurs really. They could do some side hustles, become a graphic designer, investor, so many things to do and make money from.
Just make them do STEM, or Med, or law, or nursing. Something useful.
I’m 54 never been to University don’t even live in the States but I’m fascinated by the info in this video. Well done Sir.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Hold colleges accountable to the money. Make them guarantee the student a job in their field of study once they graduate or get a refund. This will fix it
How to solve the college debt and high tuition scam that colleges and government working together have played on the taxpayer and students. Democrats came up with this scam to make the government run student loan department paid for by taxpayers. IT'S TIME TO MAKE THE COLLEGES NOW WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND ASSETS TAKE BACK THIS DEBT THE SCAMMED. IT'S TIME THE COLLEGES STOP THEIR SCAM AND LOWERED THEIR FAKE TUITION PRICES. They keep building huge buildings and after decades of yearly fake tuition raises are now worth billions of dollars.
IT'S TIME STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS GO AFTER THE DEMOCRATS FOR CAUSING THIS JUST SO THEY COULD CONTROL COLLEGES, INFORMATION, STUDENTS, CURRICULUM, AND VOTES. Every year the colleges raised their tuition to the outrageous costs and now colleges are worth billions and all scammed by colleges, text book publishers, contractors and every one involved along with Democrat politicians. When anyone saw it would unnecessarily put students in great debt and then raised the objection to this high debt and overpriced tuition the Democrats screamed they were against education. The debt is now close to $2 Trillion dollars of debt held by the government student loan departments and will now bankrupt the country if not paid for. Students are shackled with tens of thousands of dollars of debt and can't pay it back nor can they buy a house with this extra debt on their shoulders. IT'S TIME TO MAKE THE COLLEGES who are NOW WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND ASSETS AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY THAT HELPED THEM TAKE BACK THIS DEBT THEY SCAMMED. IT'S TIME THE COLLEGES AND THE DEMOCRATS STOP THEIR SCAM AND LOWERED THEIR FAKE OVERPRICED TUITION AND FRAUDULENT INFLATED COSTS.
IT'S TIME STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS GO AFTER THE DEMOCRATS FOR CAUSING THIS JUST SO THEY COULD CONTROL COLLEGES, INFORMATION, STUDENTS, CURRICULUM, AND VOTES. It will take four generations to pay this back unless the colleges are given this debt that they caused with the Democrats and their scam.Scream at every Democrat who made colleges inflate their fake tuition costs and bankrupt students, parents and families
You'll never get into a program
But how many jobs are available for those who got a degree in gender studies, for example? Some degrees are useless and even nonsensical.
I have a job in gender studies.
@@chrysiarose What is that job? Teaching? How many jobs are there for gender studies?
Wow- I sent two of my four kids to college and never know how big the scam was. They are so money hungry. Thanks for uncovering the truth. We need legislation to regulate the college system.
Government is the entity responsible for guaranteeing these loans to these kids in the first place. Government won't help they just make things worse because they are owned by the same banks that give these loans. It's a conflict of interest.
@@timculpepper6155 agreed! Regulation isnt needed, simply rewrite the 501c3 requirements
Legislation is in on it...👎🏿
Lmao
Have to realise the government is just a scape goat you know illusion of choice, it's the people who fund their campaigns that are really running things wake up
Well said!
Great video! This topic really hit home.
I graduated from college and would recommend you don't go without a means to pay for it yourself. School Loans are an industry!
Sadly!
Agreed. Wasted almost 8 years to get a master’s degree. Wasn’t worth the lost earning years. And the school loans are preset at a high percentage rate no matter what the markets rate is. It is a complete scam...with fake prestige to swallow it down with.
Its not rocket science to see that but most americans are dumbed down from the fluoride and emf radiation from alll the tech around them. Theyre all fucked
@@rudystraight1750 You literally have no idea what you are talking about.
"Technology bad, Americans bad. I generalize a very large and diverse society." You are ironically the dumbest person here
I don’t remember a damn thing I learned in college. Everything I use in life, I learned while on the job. College gave me a 5 year excuse to party and spend money that I’ll be paying back for the next 50 years of my life.
Ten you should have tried harder in college. You would have learned something and not be paying off a loan for the next 50 years of your life. If you waste your time in college then you waste the money you spent on it too.
Jaelynne17 yeah, but weren’t those parties to die for?😂😂. Those were some of the best years in my life!
An American Entrepreneur College was easily the worst years of my life...
@@Bobo-jy5mg trying harder doesn't necessarily guaranteed anything. Thinking smarter does. I can keep on trying/working harder for minimal increase but thinking smarter can change the whole situation
Nahshua Griffin nothing guarantees anything in life. Working harder doesn’t guarantee anything and thinking smarter doesn’t guarantee anything too. So working harder may not "guarantee" a better job, less debt, etc... but there’s certainly a strong positive correlation and causation between those that work harder and those that succeed more. You should work harder and smarter
I am so amazed by these videos...thank you!!!
Dang. This is so informative. Thank you, sir!!!
You can get a similar education from the public library and all you have to do is read. You can get the same books students use from the secondary market for a fraction of the cost of the new books. You pay a large tuition to listen to a instructor talk about their son who gets traffic tickets.
A lot of career paths have college degrees as requirement unfortunatly
soal159 but going to a library won’t give u the certificate
It’s called a degree
Ian Rea But a lot of those career paths won’t be around forever
The Butt Goblin most careers paths that will still be around for the foreseeable are the ones that will require degrees...
I'm glad I finished a five year apprenticeship 17 yrs ago. I'm a journeyman making 100K a year and been living debt free.
And of course, money is all that matters in life, right Mr. Manson? I have a PhD, make over $100K and live debt free because I was smart enough to get scholarships, and I know how to think!!!

"It's called the American Dream for a reason because you have to be asleep to believe it". -- George Carlin
@Dale Walker what an incredibly ill-informed statement. Tell that to the degreed homeless population that currently exists. czcams.com/video/1Y_2ztFr6qg/video.html or this lady who had a career... czcams.com/video/as6bS-7ZlgQ/video.html
@first last2 Exactly! :) A scam that SHOULD be a crime! When I finished college I was NOT in debt as college was actually affordable! I DEFINITELY was not in $30+K worth of debt that's for sure! Get a job and add a mortgage to THAT! Talk about "slavery"! You're forced to work UNTIL you'll DIE! Factor in periodic lay-offs or a RECESSION and what a HORRIBLE life to live! We should be teaching our children to create their own paths! Virgin Records (for example) was started by a high school drop-out! :)
@first last2 One more thing... it's like they are telling us... in order to get the opportunity that america "offers", you MUST possess a DEGREE! I've known lifetime MAIDS because they simply couldn't afford "higher education". Sad. Every immigrant who landed here in the early 1900's would not have a PRAYER of a chance by this "standard".
Carlin was a real prophet
@Dale Walker just like you being born
"a scam within a scam" lol. Couldn't have said it better myself. This man is a true business man.
My dad, who never went to college, yet had a genius i.q. was a very successful business man. He called college graduates - educated idiots. After going to university, as an adult, receiving my degree, and paying attention to how things were handled on many levels with staff and facility; it is a huge scam. Most do not want to do their job or care about the students. They are paying an going into great debt yet must teach themselves.
Unless you specialize, the degree is basically worthless. It will help you get a job over someone who does not but that is about it.
I knew then...what I know now, I would have gone to a trade school.
Great post !!!
Funny how this video alone taught me more about finances than public school
So could watching a brick wall. You don't get taught about finances in school. Ever.
Stop the student loan guarantees by the government. That's one of the main drivers of increasing tuition.
Matt Damon said it best...You spent 150k on an education you could've gotten for a few dollars in late fees at the public library. Pretty much sums up the educational system in my eyes
Brilliantly put. This is the type of education we need.
Go to a community college for 2 years, get enough credits, and then go to a college you wanted to go to. You're almost guaranteed to be accepted and it's way cheaper.
Korrel full agreed the amount of money saved
That's what I'm doing right now
THANK YOU! I tell people this all the time. I did the exact same thing. I then took a break to go work after getting my 2 year degree. Then when I was 25 I was eligible for full financial aid (the govt stops taking into account your parents income at that age for eligibility) and was able to transfer and get a BS from a university completely for free. No debt, and payed less then $10k for the first 2 years I attended my community college.
That's excellent sound advice. Community colleges can really help ease the financial burden of paying for a 4 year university, or college. Don't forget too that there's The College Level Examination Program (CLEP), which is a program that enables students to earn college credit for introductory-level courses by achieving satisfactory scores on subject-specific tests. If you achieve a certain score, then you can receive college credit without having to spend money taking more classes. It's another GREAT way to cut the expenses of pursuing a 4 year degree.
I'm doing that right now. On top of that, I got my first year of C.C. free because of financial aid (apparently my school was giving it away to everyone who was taking 12+ units because of a law in my state) so I get to save even more money. Yay for me!
I got scammed. Paid it off over 10 years. My parents recommended I go to college even though I didn’t know what I wanted to do.
Just like most young adults.
i was also scammed by this investment scammer they took everything from me and my family but i was later referred to a security agencies that helped me get my money back and gave me back my life.for any more information about the company you can message me on whatsapp +16615245836
Just like me. Except i stopped it after community college. 1 month into uni and I dropped out. I knew after 2 weeks in there it wasn't meant to be there. Now I do independent projects. Family highly disapproves and I don't give a shit.
I was like you and it took me forever to finish...15 years. Fortunately, I started college in the fall of 1983 and did the first 4 years at community college. There is NO WAY I could have flaked like that now. Community college was $50/semester and then when I transferred to CSULB, it was about $400/semester. I used to sign up and drop. No way could anyone do that now. I suffered and lived at home so I didn’t graduate with debt. I thank God that I had the luxury to make mistakes. The young kids now don’t have that. The worse thing that happened to me was that my dad never let me forget what a flake I was.
@@ErikaLaGrande Maybe your dad didn't give great fatherly advice and was mostly absent like my dad. The college marketing convinced parents it was worth it and they are the ones that got scammed telling their kids to go to college without any plan.
I love your video and you are right on the money. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic video! Finally someone is exposing this scam. You should run for office or make yourself available for a cabinet appointment.
Many Football coaches get paid over about 100k a year.
A&M just signed Jimbo for 10 years at 75 million...
Oh damn Tampatech your channel is awesome
100 large wont even hire a mediocre assistant at many name schools anymore.
I have worked in WPI's basketball coaches house. He definitely makes way north of 100k.
Tampatec some get millions
I think the solution is simple:
1. Make it illegal to require a degree for a job out side of medicine.
2. Tax the University
3. Set the limit on how much a university can charge students.
4. Chage the recognition of degrees to be based on core class credits not overall credits earned. And make it illegal for university to force student to take non-core classes inorder to be qualified for higher core classes.
Honestly we just need to end government subsidies and end government student loan forgiveness. These two things are the reason universities can still charge absurd amounts of money and people still go. Price caps would just lead to universities closing instead of lowering prices.
you got my vote
Outside of medicine? What about the sciences? Or engineering?
Thank you! Universities are killing us in setting so many modules that we don't really need in a particular course that results in us spending more time on unnecessary staff and them receiving more money.
@@AmazingStoryDewd I'd agree that certain fields need to have more time and certification.

Holy cow

bruh wtf
at first I thought this guy is full of shit, but my apology you are correct. Now that is totally freaking ridiculous. WTF. any school that takes pride in it's football team being refereed to as Convicts doesn't seem like the best place. And the way they where those gold chains ( i mean it's hilarious but doesn't depict the institution in the best light). They defein;ley pay them like convicts and exploit the you know what out of them. ( as to all other Div 1 schools
I saw the writing on the wall after two years in college...didn't learn anything new, but I paid thousands! Yeah...it's a scam!
All depends on your major! Most are worthless and shitty, others are actually useful and will help you succeed. Not all colleges are bad. I wouldn’t ever go to a big college like the ones back east. They cost too much and are really worthless when you can get the same education elsewhere for cheap
thank you for this
What about all the credits(subjects) that we have to take compulsorily but that have absolutely nothing to do with my major? That is also a scam.
