My husband has always been a landscape foreman. He is very intelligent but wanted to work outside building things. He can do just about anything. I love that about him. We need real men to run/build our country. Thank God for men!! ❤
My dad was the same way. There wasn't anything he couldn't do or fix. If he didn't know how to do or fix something, he'd figure out. He never used technology, he used his brain. He was incredible with numbers and only had an 8th grade education. Yes, thank God for men!
Simple... Most plumbers can operate a computer, read, write, do basic math, fill out forms, write papers, etc... Most college graduates cannot fix the pipes under their home, Fix the AC, fix their car, etc...
Plumbers will earn a living on the way to their Masters License. College Students will owe someone for their time after 4 years and still have to prove themselves to an employer.
@@chada.bishop307- Nothing beats practical experience. This is why many schools have training hospitals, and Projects for Medical and STEM fields. Unfortunately no practical experience for other fields really exists. The other fields are the, “elective plastic surgery”, of the education system.
My husband is a Iron Worker for the past 10yrs and before that a Contractor. He is only a Highschool graduate and makes clothes to $100k a year! I am a Manager of a Dollar Tree and make close to $43k a year..I am only a Highschool graduate. With that being said,,TRADE SCHOOL should be PUSHED just as much as College!!
I’m always amazed at their gift of knowledge and also being able to debate at this level … ne er even pauses or umm’s . Very , very few of us can do that
I'm a college graduate with an AA degree and my husband is just a high school graduate but has worked blue collar jobs since childhood. I can't even begin to explain the sheer knowledge and skills this man has in navigating life. The world can collapse today and he's golden without an ounce of panic. I feel so robbed and lied to. I wish I can go back and never got my degree and just worked sooner. Granted I did opted out of getting my BA after to start working full time for the immediate experience and I benefitted a lot sooner than my peers who continued school and chasing all the advance degrees. In the end, my degree was helpful in my field but really useless in life as I'm now a devoted housewife and homemaker. I have small online businesses working from home but I really could have saved all that money from student loans. (Which my husband easily helped paid off because his blue collar job can afford it.) Discovering Candace and Charlie and others alike has opened up my eyes and changed my life for the better. I can't thank you enough. I just wish I knew all of this sooner. Keep up the amazing work guys!
*Turning Point should run these debate clips as ads on TV and on streaming services like HULU, Prime, and Peacock!* Leftists are EXTREMELY proactive about getting their views in front of the masses.
I'm a Turning Point fan, a Charlie Kirk fan, and a conservative... but, I don't like the way he bashes college. As the youngest child in my family and the first to go to college, I learned so much about how to learn. I think that's the key. Yes, I took classes I would call a waste of time. But knowing that and still passing those courses translates to working in the real world. We need to learn how to decipher the useful, the useless, and how to work with other people in a professional environment. I learned that in college.
He doesn’t bash college in general. He bashes the predatory way that colleges recruit their students. If you are going into a field that requires a degree. Then it’s the best option, but if you have no idea what you want to do. Then get a job and figure it out first.
He argues that it is a scam because most of the degrees that are offered are useless or not needed, yet they charge way too much money for what they offer. He isn't saying it is useless. He is saying it is a major problem that needs to be fixed because the cost vs. reward ratio isn't positive. At least not on average. Are there good degrees? Yeah, of course. But if your product is only viable 30 percent of the time, then it is a scam.
Completely agree! I worked full time for two years after high school, figured out what I wanted to do, then went to college to help further my career. I understand what he is saying and agree with him, just wish he would acknowledge the positives of college to help further his point on the negatives.
Agree with Candice. I was an executive for 27 yrs and the most difficult 2 weeks of my life was taking care of my kids at 4 and 5 while my wife was out of town.
Academics used to be the smartest, but everyone wants their kids to *feel* smart while the real smart people save their money, learn useful skills, and expand their knowledge with the internet.
"Can you do a differential equation"? I'm sure if I ever needed to, I could look it up and figure it out. I wonder if he could change an outlet, fix a toilet, make an omelette, or change the oil in his car. I'm guessing not.
@@venkatarahulsatyam5643 I'm guessing that's you that Charlie humiliated. How embarrassing for you. And what's your point? How does solving a differential equation make someone more intelligent or capable? It doesn't.
@@merc-chef i never said that is someone is more intelligent just because they solve differential equations but you thinking you can solve them from just searching it up is pretty stupid i mean a person can learn these on there own if they are willing to but it will be a struggle , college helps there by giving the right mentor and gives better results in general
@@merc-chefsaying that entire college is scam is wrong from charlie i mean there are useless degrees out there ig but it's the person that are the choosing the degrees to be at fault why take a degree that gives you no help in future it's people's fault not college college is place to learn new stuff and develop new skills with other people of same goals it is not forced upon people it is their choice
Yes! We must all just accept what the party tells us to think! Thought crime must be banned! Debate teaches you critical thinking skills. And how to express your thoughts in a way that others can understand.
Did anyone else think the response to the second woman was a little harsh? I have always adored Candace, but that conversation just kind of struck me weirdly.
That airplane point is actually a great one u don’t need a college degree to be a pilot u gotta go to flight school but the college kid couldn’t understand that college should be the same as trade schools and focus only on what people are learning like if ur building the plane then why would u need to take a liberal arts class
As someone who has never been to college or university, and doesn't consider themselves a very smart person, it really only takes initiative and hard work to learn a new job. I've worked my way up in plenty of jobs with 0 experience by just learning as i go. If i can do it, trust me, it's easy. I thought i was dumb, i just went to work and worked hard and put in effort, and i find success. Every job i've had, people tell me im smart because im a girl. I've never had anyone talk to down to me for being a woman? How are women claiming that they get attacked for being a woman??? Maybe i'm just lucky? But i doubt it
As a woman, it's an instant turn off if a man can't do simple handyman tasks. If you can't change your oil or tires, sorry, even I can do those things. College doesn't teach you those things...
My grandfather was a plummer. He actually didn't go to school for it. He was a 9th grade drop put, married my grandmother and had 5 children....he owns a home he had built on many acers in carrol County maryland. The man has mucho money in the bank..all of which he earned working and making good financial choices and by being very cheap😂 he is very smart...he's invented so many little gadgets...I've been so impressed by how smart he is..yet he isent a strong reader due to his lack of education. He isn't illiterate..he knows enough to thrive in what our country once offered.
As a 4th grade teacher, our kids don’t even want to learn the very basics and k12 systems are changing the grading system to make it look like k-12 students are achieving when they aren’t, they are just being pssed on paper without basic Math, social, critical thinking and reading skills. Fix k12 first!!!!!
Schools/Collages/Universities are areas in our lives to see if WE individuals are capable of LEARNING. They also serve as a Training for certain occupations. Life alone will teach/give us Knowledge. WE as Human Beings will naturally LEARN something til we die.
What Charlie is saying is so true. These kids won’t know or understand till they get out in the real world. He will look back at this cringe in the future.
I love the college is a scam question because it's true. I went to college to become a veterinarian technician. Guess what? I had to take English, history, and math for the first two years before I could even start the beginner class. What do two of those have anything to do with working with animals. Luckily, I dropped out without it, and debt and instead of wasting those years and it was close to 7 to 9 for everything, I got a good paying job.
We need 25% of students going to college if that makes up degrees for engineering, medicine and law. Other than that it does make sense that we should be pushing our children towards a less expensive, less valuable degree. Put your kids into trades and create businesses. If they really want to go tj college later, they can. For students who need a basic mathematical, critical and language proficiencies, they should go to trade school. Even those with biz degrees make an average amount of money.
If you study engineering, advanced math, physics etc - specialist, facts based subjects, college is good for you and your future. If you study Gender THEORY, critical race THEORY and other made up or subjective fields, you've just spent 100k to avoid work for four years. Well done!
If you think that being a stay at home mom is the toughest job in the world. Try being a roofer in Phoenix Arizona in the summertime, and get back to me.
That is totally different. You don't have to do that. Being a mother is 24/7, can't walk away so easily. My mom raised 9 kids. She was a maid, doctor, teacher, cook etc. She had to deal with different emotions and remain calm. So don't compare.
@@lorietaylor4665- Did she die on the job? Because I know 2 roofers that did. So, maybe YOU shouldn’t compare. BTW You don’t have to be a stay at home mother either. Typical stupid woman response.
It is!!!! But nowadays parents are not parenting. Just look how backward these kids are and disrespectful. My son went to a trade school and now makes more then these college kids at the age of 33. Owns a home and 2 vehicles and has traveled 3 countries.
If more folks believed it was, then maybe motherhood would actually be valued in society again instead of working while someone else cares for the kids.
Motherhood is not the toughest job in the world. Try roofing in the summer. Try paving roads in the summer. Try laying bricks and mortar. Try putting out an oil fire etc etc.
Clapping is kinda toxic, hear me out. The first applause in this video makes it feel like the people respect Candice more than the speak. Let the answer and question be discussed quietly and respectfully without audience interference. We need people who actually listen and respond instead of just talking because the other is silent
Why is college a scam? Ask the people who just graduated and have discovered that the promise of the $100k/year right out of school is a lie? And that kid is sad. He wants Charlie to explain psychology and human anatomy? Hes really swallowed the koolaid. Enjoy your career at Starbucks.
I agree with Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens's criticisms of college. Most of what you learn in college is useless. In nursing, we never used the textbook theories; it was all hands-on experience.
I'd like to know why none of the college kids ask kirk to verify his sources or at least give us enough info to look them up. I'm not accusing anyone of cheating, but he sure does spout off a lot of convenient "facts," which he, by volume, he would need to have a photographic memory to retain. Those who do have the eidetic memories. need to pause to remember their facts, a crutch our charley doesn't need. Curious.💙
If you want to derail an on the spot debate by stopping, getting out a phone and searching for the studies then have your opponent read through the study completely so they can verify or rebut then sure. Great way to derail a discussion.
@UselesFlesh First, I don't think people are lining up as debaters as opposed to a sharing of information and views. charlie is the one always pushing for debate, so he can use that forum to shout down his "opponent." I'm simply suggesting asking, where did you get your info? fox entertainment? CNN? A study done by and in? A class taught by, course name? Along with the approximate date. Charlie can ask, too No derailment here. I believe everyone is aware of where they're getting their info. Follow-up can be done later or by observers, at which time the owner of the information can be called out as a cheater if that applies.
College kids like that asian kid are so uptight and all of them are like that. Freeloading into college without even paying a dime but insisting he also pays a yearly semester in his taxes? What a hilarious person $22k he pays in taxes…. These kids are the worse
You need intelligent people to push the envelope and learn more about our world/universe. The issue is that those people somehow forgot they need blue collar workers more than we need them.
I went to University of Toronto many years ago. studied sciences. I am a small business owner now. I own an Irish pub, and various other things. I guess I use my chemistry degree when I mix gin and tonics. I use my math major when I give customers their bill i guess. It's a total scam. I wish I became a welder. I like SCUBA diving. Do you know how much underwater welders make? upwards of 300k a year.
