My nephew is very successful. He went on a dating site, met a beautiful lady with an amazing business and beautiful huge mansion both of which her late husband built and now he believes he earned his success. All he has succeeded at is being handsome and BSing her into marrying him. He's just a gigolo.........but he's successful.
On a real note, my late uncle was a plumber, and he made so much money to the point where his hobbies involved flying planes and buying expensive motorcycles
I have two degrees and I say NO. Most of higher education is designed for you to work for someone else. Having a great career and retiring may be many people's dream. You can do that with or without a degree. You need a degree if that thing you wanna do warrants a degree. If your dream is to own a business then you absolutely do not need a degree. However, even a business owner can benefit from a few dedicated classes. Even with that, the owner does not need to know every nuance of their own business. What they do need to know, is how to select, trust, and retain, the best talent. The problem with college is that we trusted that it was a golden ticket. It is not. College should be USED as a tool. But it's mostly what YOU do with that tool. In the end, even being rich isn't necessarily success. Having a great close knit family, generating enough to take care of yourself comfortably, enough to bury yourself, and leaving an inheritance, is way more than most of the world is able to do. Many rich people are miserable. Don't go chasing after the rich people just because they are rich.
@@chocofoxo2894 I'd go back and read it myself if I ever lost my focus. Please look into the F.I.R.E. movement. It stands for Financial Freedom Retire Early. Once I started looking at working from the F.I.R.E. perspective, everything started changing and many paths began to open up.
well said! I'm wondering if I should take off my job instead go for college to earn the degree, but there's no way to know what kind of future jobs,business etc. will be. I like thought of not always wanna follow every single rich people, not everyone is as worthy as you might thought.
Yeshua(Jesus) the Christ loves you! Praise YHWH El Shaddai and may He bless you! Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords! (YHWH - the LORD) (El Shaddai - God Almighty) To those who haven’t; Repent of your sins and believe on the Adon Jesus the Christ, believe in your heart that He has died for your sins and rose from the tomb on the third day and you shall receive the Holy Spirit of God and He shall dwell within you. You shall be saved. Be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! - Jesus the Christ loves you, praise YHWH our Elohim - Evidence for Jesus Christ’s existence, crucifixion, and disappearance from the tomb (He rose from it): The Lord Jesus Christ did exist, gathered disciples, and was crucified and went missing from the tomb. To argue about wether He was taken from the grave or rose from it, is an argument a skeptic can make. Because well if you disregard the eye witness testimony of the disciples and there willingness to die for Christ, and humans won’t die for something they know is a lie, when Peter is pinned upside down to that cross, he could have said that it was a fake, but He didn’t because it wasn’t, what care would he have about death in this world if he knew for a fact he had assurance of a life in another, Jesus Christ did rise from the tomb and is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now the evidence for the Lord Jesus Christ’s existence really isn’t hard to find a multitude of non-Christian scholars and historians mention Him within 150 years after the time of His life. One such is Tacitus a Roman historian who reported on emperor nero’s decision to blame the Christians for the fire that had destroyed rome in 64 AD. Tacitus wrote: “Nero fastened the guilt ... on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of ... Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome…” In this Tacitus makes reference to not only Christians, but Christ calling Him Christus and confirming the Gospels going on to say that He suffered the extreme penalty (crucifixion) under the reign of Tiberius and by the sentence of Pontius Pilate, which like I said confirms the Gospels narrative. Another important source of evidence about Jesus and early Christianity can be found in the letters of Pliny the Younger to Emperor Trajan. Pliny was the Roman governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor. In one of his letters, dated around A.D. 112, he asks Trajan's advice about the appropriate way to conduct legal proceedings against those accused of being Christians. Pliny says that he needed to consult the emperor about this issue because a great multitude of every age, class, and sex stood accused of Christianity. At one point in his letter, Pliny relates some of the information he has learned about these Christians: “They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food - but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.” This passage provides a number of interesting insights into the beliefs and practices of early Christians. First, we see that Christians regularly met on a certain fixed day for worship. Second, their worship was directed to Christ, demonstrating that they firmly believed in His divinity. Furthermore, one scholar interprets Pliny's statement that hymns were sung to Christ, "as to a god", as a reference to the rather distinctive fact that, "unlike other gods who were worshipped, Christ was a person who had lived on earth." If this interpretation is correct, Pliny understood that Christians were worshipping an actual historical person as God! Of course, this agrees perfectly with the New Testament doctrine that Jesus was both God and man. You may have heard of the scholar Flavius Josephus who mentioned James as being the brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, which matches what Paul said calling James “The Lord’s brother” and there is another document that Josephus may have written which goes: “About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he ... wrought surprising feats.... He was the Christ. When Pilate ...condemned him to be crucified, those who had . . . come to love him did not give up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared ... restored to life.... And the tribe of Christians ... has ... not disappeared.” Now it’s up to debate wether this is the entirely original document of what Josephus wrote, or if a Christian had edited it. But regardless he wrote about the Lord Jesus Christ. Wether it was negative or positive like the possible document is. Anyways there are many other statements, documents, letters, and writings of all sorts from the ancient world talking about the Lord Jesus Christ and there is not one question if He was a real person or if He was crucified and went missing from the grave. That is clear as day, He is a real person, was crucified, and went missing from the grave. And He did rise from the grave. And for more evidence of the Lord Jesus Christ, there’s the Bible and you see there is no evidence the Bible is corrupted, a lie, created by the Roman government, folktale. It is the recount of the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, now wether you want to believe it is up to you. And what profit was there in spreading Christianity, All the early Christian suffered persecution, beatings, and were killed. Another Scholar reported that James the Lord’s Brother was thrown off a building and then stoned to death for spreading the Gospel in Jerusalem. These people went to great lengths even giving their own lives for the Adon Jesus the Christ.

Experiencing it right now as a freshman. Everything is just so draining to me and this feeling of unpreparedness I got for not taking a break after highschool is giving me a ton of anxiety even if I'm already nearing last sem finals now
There are only 2 ways to make money. Capital gains (gains from investing) and income (money from a job or business). You will not become rich from investing, but it can extremely amplify your income if you think “decade trader” not day trader. When it comes to a job you can work in a high paying field that doesn’t require college like Tech Sales or IT.
Facts: people with degrees are mostly liked to make big money, but that does not mean that people without a degree cant make lots of money, the thing is that its going to be much harder
Erm you’re missing out the fact that you need to have a high grade and have to have done a Stem subject in a prestigious university that is globally recognised - unfortunately if you don’t have relevant work experience after you graduate university (at least 2-3 years in whatever field you’ve done, and even then that’s hard to find as there are so many applicants for internships every year for work experience) - then finding a high paying job or a graduate scheme is gonna be hard after you graduate. And most need a Masters or above for their resume/CV to stand out (which means they have to take out more debt) to get a job with an entry level salary to progress but then they have that debt to pay off which may take 30 years if they don’t have a side hustle.
@@YG-rr6zv LOL... Yes, a degree in STEM is very useful but the other stuff is nonsense. No hiring manager ever cared whether I graduated with honors or not. Similarly, I've hired ~100 young professionals during my career and never used grades or a university's prestige to make a decision. None of my peers have ever used those as criteria for hiring. All I need to know is... Do you have the appropriate skills for the role or can you quickly learn them? Do you have a reasonable level of emotional intelligence?
@@eddiemalvin yes you’re right👏 about hiring managers not caring whether you got honours or not - but that’s kinda rare and that with the university you went to and work experience (which trumps the degree you got to get your foot in the door in the 1st place) And I’m talking about high-paying jobs either in corporate, medical or law - not marketing or something else that doesn’t require a degree (which I I think you’re referring to, otherwise I think you’re just being ignorant). But to sum up, it’s the high paying jobs that require a stem degree from a top university (that unfortunately hiring managers do consider till this day cos they would rather hire someone from Oxford university than somebody from a low ranking uni).
You of course have to be wary of causation versus correlation though. The degree is not necessarily what's causing the higher income, as many have discussed before. We're also starting to see a sea-change as increasing numbers of young adults are thinking twice about their options, as more and more opportunities are opening up outside of the 'prescribed' mainstream college route. A relatively recent study in the UK (and embarrassingly, I can't quote you the source) revealed that only a select few disciplines are bringing in a lifetime Return on Investment - including the usual suspects, such as Computer Science, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Maths (? - I think) - though the top-rated institutions certainly offer additional potential ROI due to the prestige of having a degree from one of them. This research was carried out within the UK only, so I can't claim whether it applies to prospects and markets in other countries. Deciding on whether to go the college route is complex: for some, the decision is very straightforward, but for many, some serious research and calculations need to be executed first, especially if it requires taking on huge debt.
Defining ‘success’ is a tough one. If my job is something that I genuinely like and pays just enough to fund a comfortable life, then in my eyes, I’ve succeeded.
I completely agree: 'success' should always be defined by the individual. It's personal, relative, and needs to be considered beyond our modern society's prescription - the narrative that success = as much financial wealth and material status as possible. Money is not irrelevant - and it's critical for those who have too little - but for others, it's a slice of the pie-of-life. You need to also consider your health, relationships, fulfillment, and the nebulous-but-important peace and happiness.
No. Its not necessary. Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc make a lot of money. You can start off pushing carts and work your way up to management at some supermarket. To say you need a degree is ridiculous.
@@eggselent9814They aren't counting young multi-millionaires. They are counting old 60 year old+, boomers who have a net worth of $1million 😂. I want to be rich young... 🔥💵
@@zulu-bravo255 Then invest all your money right now. If you‘re good then good job. If not then well you fucked up. I‘m playing the safe game honestly. I already got to know the CEOs of some pretty big companies by going to college
@@eggselent9814 I am in community college right know for Financial Management. I am passing very well. To me it seems like a waste of time. Mabey for immigrants it is worth it. But I want to be rich young. Especially in these times, where time is not on anyones side anymore. College is good for networking, I have met many people so far. But I don't want to have a salary like a regular person. I don't want to be a sheep. I want more 🔥💵✝️
@@eggselent9814 Plus becoming a CEO is the equivalent of winning the lottery. It most likely will never EVER happen. I am 18 so if somehow I am wrong I can always go back to college. 😂 But to each there own. Not everyone wants the most of life.
After HS I took a year off but knowing what I know now I’d say go to a technical college before going to a 4 year college. Skills get you a job and if you like that job, then go to college and get a higher degree, that way you can advance in the job field you’re in. Because if you go to a 4 year college, then it doesn’t matter what job or company you get; you’ll still have to start at an entry level for that company.
It’s definitely not necessary for success but I feel like it may help you in developing a proper work ethic it can also help you socialize and that work with people who are your age it also allows you to networking with a lot more people which arguably is the most valuable part of it
@@deleted_account_0530 If you don't mind, can you tell me what you will do if not get a college degree. Where I am from, voluntarily not going to college is such a foreign concept.
@@behindyou666 no, higher education shouldnt be necessary. We dont need government to pay so someone can study useless crap. And make no mistake, most of college is useless crap. The only reason we value college is because employers value college. But this trend is very much reversing because more and more utterly useless people are graduating college. They dont teach the skills you need in the workforce, they dont teach the skills needed in life. They teach a bunch of information that most people forget after they finish a class. What we need is to go back to the model we used for most of human history which was apprenticeships. Thats currently what the trades often use. Its way more effective at learning a career, and you arent wasting time and money on useless things just so you can say you're "well rounded" And we need to stop treating people that chose not to go to college like morons and failures when they have clearly made the better financial decision.
@@jacobhargiss9909 bro, most acedemic jobs, basically 90% of all jobs, REQUIRES you to have a degree. You will not get a good job in the acedemic field, except for maybe IT, if you have never went to uni.
Yes, though there are of course many environments and routes through which one can learn. I've learnt far more since my degree, eons ago, than during my 4-year degree. Real-world experience counts for a lot.
I wanted to take a year gap after high school before going to college because I am mentally unwell but my mother would often compare me with my peers so it has been very hard for me. (Mental Health is a taboo topic here). If I was gonna take a year gap, I would be seen as a dissapointment. Because, my peers have already set themselves for college. On the otherhand, I am not... and everyone tells me I would be left behind. I wanted a year gap, so I could better myself, I am not ready. Now that I am forced into college, my suicidal ideations have risen up. I don't speak up about this to anyone, because when there is news about a person who commited suicide. All I hear them say is: "He is such a coward", "What a shallow minded person", "Such a dumb decision", "He will go to hell for that". I once told my mom about it, but she called me "Shallow Minded" and that "I am making GOD angry" and that "I will go to hell". Yes, that's why I keep everything to myself, life is nothing but a burden to me, I don't find joy in it. I'm planning to take my own life by replacing oxygen in my lungs with either helium and nitrogen (1 tank) by inhaling it while having a plastic bag around my head and a little tube for letting the nitrogen and/or helium in.
I 100% agree with you on the overwhelming part of being forced like, I’m the first & youngest of my siblings to finish high school & please don’t take as “why is my life like this” or “I just want to end it all”, life is not easy on anyone but you start to learn taking it day by day and having faith man while walking thru your journey.❤🙏🏽
i can relate, I'm mentally unwell right now but my mother keep forcing me to go to college, when i asked her that i want to go to therapy, she said it's a waste of money
College/tech schools/apprenticeships provide a foundation which too build upon. It is up to the individual to build their own success college or no college.
Lol yes workers are necessary, but workers are oppressed and exploited, are you successful if you are living comfortably but dont have health care? To be successful and to be necessary are two very different things.
Taking a gap year is one of the best things you can do, get a job and save up, use some of the money to try and find ways to make more money in your free time. In a year if you work part time 4hrs/day 5days a week you should be able to muster up at least £12k which is $15k. Save like 8k, spend 2k on fun stuff idk, use 5k to try to make more money. That’s if you live with your parents while taking your gap year. You can still have a lot of fun and if don’t mind working a bit longer or on weekends you could have even more expendable income to spend on fun things because a gap year should still be fun in my opinion.
A college degree (with a major that has an ROI) a trade school certification, a license are all necessary and serve different purposes. These things get you through the door
Absolutely NOT! It's a waste of money anymore! You can get a 6 figure job without a degree! Get a computer security certification, Electrician, Plumber, HVAC, Contractor.... you can do those without a degree.
Statistically most successful CEO’s have a college degree in North America and most in Europe have a masters. So unfortunately people who says otherwise are wrong.
The statistical probability that someone will become a CEO is so low that they shouldn’t base their decision about whether or not to go to college upon the education of the average CEO. Make realistic decisions based off of the most probably outcome.
@@redbrixanimations That doesn't pinpoint causation though - only a strong correlation. There's been much discussion online about this association, by all kinds of voices. For example, college graduates are more likely to come from highly-driven families, with a strong sense of conscientiousness and agency. They're also more likely to come from higher-income families. These characteristics also lend themselves to making high wealth (in this case, we're discussing millionaires). There's a very strong relationship between our own wealth and our parents' wealth. It's not the college degree or the certificate that is necessarily *causing* the relative high number of millionaires, coming from that cohort. That's my point, and the point of many others discussing this association. I accept the correlation, but causation is far more nuanced.
Remember: For every success story about a high school/college dropout, there are thousands (if not millions) of failed attempts. Just complete your education to be safe
Thank you so much. People say to skip college because it's not worth it but in my opinion it's an investment for the long term. Once again thank you so much.
Huh? You go to college to learn a skill, to then be employed by a company that wants those skills you just learned. If you go to school and learn about computer science, a company will hire you for your skill and knowledge in computer science that you learned in college. Never thought I’d ever explain what learning is for in college.
@@kiduslovesJesus I'm a retired engineer. I went to graduate school. When I finally landed my first job, my boss called me in and told me it was time to go to real college because most of what had learned at university was backwards. I realized, very quickly, he was correct.
@@BashoStrikes Yea, for some degrees information you learn in college won’t be up to date, but that’s normally only for degrees with applications since you’re being hired by a company. For example, a lot of the information you retain in a cs degree is theoretical so the information will be relevant, but for a computer engineering degree which is an applied science, the information wont always be up to date since tech is always changing. You can’t really blame that on the college, it’s just the nature of many industries to constantly change. Since you’re an engineer, I can understand how some of the information you learned in college turned out to be obsolete.
Hey guess what, my older brother who is 19, bought his own forester, and graduated high-school 3 years early, and and currently looking to buy a house and make anywhere from 5-10k a month for a salary!

Wow thats what i exactly intended to do , 1 year gap ! But i felt bad about falling behind ! This made me feel perfect , thank you so much you have no idea how happy that made me !
'Falling behind' is a concept and sentiment that years of schooling teaches. In the real world, 'falling behind' is much less of a thing. (Unless you're female, and you definitely want to birth your own children - because the biological clock needs to be taken seriously.) All you have to ask yourself is, 'falling behind what? Or falling behind whom?' It's healthier to compare yourself to yourself, rather than to others; throughout the rest of your life, there will be people 'ahead' of you, in some respects, and people 'behind' you in others. There are plenty of late-bloomers who find their version of success in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. Talking of late bloomers, this book is awesome, by Rich Karlgaard: Late Bloomers - The Hidden Strengths of Learning and Succeeding at Your Own Pace. A brilliant read for any young adults freaking out over our modern's society's high pressure narratives!
The overwhelming majority of people who took a loss at university or who could not afford to go to university in the first place but found success through other means will say no. On the other hand, people whose degrees paved the way to success will almost always say yes. So, this line of questioning is pointless.
of course small businesses exist everywhere but if we're talking growing into big companies that would be for a select very few entrepreneurial people. besides, you have to have extreme luck in finding opportunities and knowing the right people. back then, it was easier to grow small companies to multi billion dollar business because opportunity was everywhere (industrial revolution, internet, etc)
@@AlexandrBorschchev So whats your definition of success? Because to me success is owning a company and being rich while hardly having to work. A college degree does nothing to help you get there, it’s just to get a job and work for someone else
@@ren6412 Sounds terrible. Not too different in America, you can get a 100k loan for college no questions asked but if you try to make a business everyone calls you stupid. I guarantee theres something you can do for a business, theres always an opportunity. Think outside the box.
I’m currently studying Additional support needs at college. It’s my third time but I hate group work and standing in front of class. I really struggle with placement as well. I’m very anxious. I’ve been in this situation before. I know I am not going to be able to pass course it’s to much for me I’m 34 it’s my last chance at college. I can’t speak to lecturers or parents I’ve been down this road many times I was asked if I am going to be able to complete course this time I said yes but now I know I’m definitely not going to be able to get through course. Don’t know what the best thing to do is. I don’t have anyone in my course I can talk to. There is no way I can last a year and pass this course. I’m really struggling.
I think both of these are true. I think a gap year or a few out of high school is a great idea. And if you're not sure what to do just do general studies you get all of your core classes out of the way. I wish somebody would have told me this all those classes are transferable.
It's not necessary, but a person from a top school who has done well in college, made connections and worked hard will have a MUCH EASIER START than a person with nothing, and even from a decent college if not the top one can have a stable life while there's huge uncertainties when you don't have a degree(where you've done well ofc)
Try asking anyone who has been in the workforce for 10 years this question: "What did you learn in college that you are applying to your job today?". Most will say nothing, that the skills they are using in their job today are skills they picked up in their job, or at previous jobs. A degree may help you get in the door, but it won't necessarily keep you there. However, this isn't true for certain careers. Those of us without college degrees need to understand we will never be a brain surgeon, but that's okay. We have other, faster, easier paths to our own success.
I like how the comments are full of excuses for not going to college. Because those are the same people keeping the rich rich and the poor poor. You keep thinking you’ll become a billionaire without college…
fr. just look at statistics and average. these guys in the video are the few few percent. plus it's a changing world, they're old and they don't know what's it's like in this climate
In our country taking a gap year is almost like a suicide. because top unis don't allow to apply for second time.if you graduate from your higher secondary school (highschool) you have to apply at that season or you wont be able to apply ever again in that school😢
No, it does not give you “maturity”, do yourself a favor and pick up a trade, you’ll get the same amount of “maturity” while actually getting paid for it and opening yourself up for opportunities…… where as even if you pay 10’s if not 100’s of thousands of dollars in student loans you are never guaranteed a job… let alone one that can pay for both your living expenses and your massive amount of debt
Yeah he doesn’t understand that it’s not like back in his day where he could work a minimum wage part time job and pay for college. Maybe some student loans too but in the end it wasn’t so severe that he couldn’t pay it off.
Sometimes it helps, but not always. Return on Investment is what needs to be addressed (though granted, college / university can bring some forms of ROI that are hard to price-up, e.g. friends, socials, maybe a future spouse, and networking). A relatively recent study in the UK has shone the light on lifetime ROI on the college-route, and the general conclusion was that only certain disciplines (e.g. including Computer Science, Law, Medicine, Engineering subjects and Maths (? I think)) are bringing in a lifetime's ROI, but that nearly all other disciplines are not - in the UK, at least. So university can be a costly mistake, for many. But is not a costly mistake for all. Also, the study indicated that the prestige of a degree from the usual top red-brick establishments confers a higher ROI than not having been, on average, even if the degree itself would not otherwise bring the graduate a ROI over their lifetime.
the reason why I’m looking into a bachelors in business admin is exactly because it is broad and diverse. I plan on working for myself for the rest of my life and mainly am looking for a degree that would help me learn the fundamentals of business. what would you recommend to someone who is getting their education for their own knowledge in my shoes?❤
Easy for me to say (I have a degree, and am Gen X), but my experience is there's nothing like acquiring actual business experience, from launching a business as young as possible. You then have time to make real-world mistakes, and learn on-the-job (as most humans have done, since the dawn of humanity). I can't comment on MBAs and their usefulness in entrepreneurship, but the content of most undergrad business degrees - as far as I have seen - is arguably outdated and myopic, and based on textbook theory, rather than the very fast-changing real world of business and business development 'out there'.
The answers were from a man who chose submission as the most feasible way to success and a man who writes his own destiny. Life and experience mature you not college.
I agree that you DO NOT need to go to college to be successful, HOWEVER I would never tell a kid not to go to college. Also, it depends on what you want to do in life and what you define as being successful. Some people define success based on income. Others define success as happiness. How much money you have might be someone's happiness, while others might say they're successful because they have everything they need without making six figures a year. Also keep in mind there's people who make really good money, and are in so much debt that they live / work just to pay debt. So you have to decide what you consider being successful. 🤷🏻♀️
College does a lot of good - if you can afford it. The value is what you make of it, though. Networking and being social will get you further than GPA and honor societies, and that stuff can be done without the structure of higher education.
Bad things about having parents is some of them like to force everything upon their children only for their own satisfaction...and the children have to sacrifice many years of their lives to do something that they don't even interested in...
@@morningstar6691 its not having family is bad. They just want to best for u, but just as everyone else no one is perfect. And unperfect people aren't always correct.
100% not necessarily,, but can open doors of opportunities this is a competitive society we live in.....I developed my maturity through the military and work experience not sitting in class for hours
But you have an advantage , I bet you could get a different job with good pay totally unrelated to your degree, just because simple fact you have a degree .
That question is loaded AF. Success is intangible person to person. I think a gap year is awesome. But you should do something in that gap year(s) to learn about life and yourself. A strong education is a good base for anything you do, whether in plumbing or in life. But success is what you make it not what everyone else perceives.
I have a double Bachelors degree and one masters degree and im currently pursuing my 2nd masters degree and to be quite honest im so fed up, i would like to open a business and I honestly do not need all these degrees, im only doing it to make my mom happy, im so tired and stressed tf out, i have exam tomorrow and I can’t even study cuz im too stressed out, I want to drop out but my mom won’t let me, I’m basically venting at this point sorry
He says college is necessary and gives you time to gain maturity. So does the military (and if your like me and 90% of American's who don't have a rich father to pay for it) and you don't have to go 100k into debt. They pay you (not alot but making 30k a year is better than losing 25k) plus you can learn a blue collar trade (depending on your MOS you can learn the basics of being an electrician, mechanic, plumber, construction, computer technician ect..) and the invaluable leasons of time management, communication and leadership. The best part is they pay for your college (GI Bill) and give you extra money (depending on where you go to school batween 1,000- 4,500 a month) to live on while in school. I did both and I learned more about work ethic, the world and myself in just 1 year of military service than i did in all 4 years of college put together.
The key to success is knowing what you love and having the determination to learn more of it until you master it. It's hard to find what you truly love. It's harder to commit to learning it. Do that, you'll succeed.
If you are going for a specific job that requires you to go through college. I know many people, although not all, that don't want just ANY job. They want THEIR job. That's what we spent all of middle and high school preparing for.
@@mdtransmissionspecialties I dropped out and make 300,000 a year so what’s your point? I have a couple buddies on the pipe line making over 200,000 and they dropped out as well and the best part is that we never had student loans. Don’t look down on people.
And more importantly to make connections that are helpful. I am making my masters degree rn and it is 10x times easier when you have the right connections
Getting into plumbing I love the example. Henry Ford didn't even graduate highschool. You make who you are. Not your environment. If your not sure of what to do. College is not the answer. Why accumulate astronomical debt on uncertainty. Spend your time wisely and learn something everyday. Whether your being lead by a teacher or not.
If you enjoyed education go for it! If you do not enjoy education then start your bussiness ; that is why there is so much variety of people . This is what makes it fun! Not everyone likes to study!
The way he said "no" and then said "a plumber is always needed" Some people love more people staying in poverty and lower levels so they can do whatever they want in life. Not furthering their education is the biggest mistake (most) people have ever made, and they will learn it the hard way when they reach 35 to 40,yo self...
We are entering the opposite problem, if everyone has a degree then nothing academic is special anymore, those physical jobs are the rare ones meaning they have increased value. He was right, trend will only get bigger in the future
I can challenge this and say, the more young men drop out of college because it is to hard and they put no effort in during high school, they will most definitely create a space of the trade field being oversaturated with young men who cannot read or write very well. Thus making it easier for them to be fiscally manipulated. There are colleges that offer Construction Work Management degrees and are sending out the people who will inevitably become the bosses of those doing the physical labor. Why? Because those who jumped straight into the trade do not always have the written or verbal communication skills to execute business relations. @@zakaryloreto6526
