What 1958 HS Students Felt Their Futures Would Be Like 

Thats total nonsense. If you say you're going to college you need someone else to give your life structure. Maybe that's just in your country

Pumpkin Guts The smart kids are becoming plumbers, mechanics and electricians. They’re making good salaries at age 22, while the college grad who majored in gender studies is 200K in debt.

Shut up you delinquent

@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew not all 😏this boy right here is debt free so far.

😂

RogueSquadronWeapons well really it would have been of equal expense because of inflation I think

Gabriel Codina nope

Gabriel Codina no because wage rates have not risen to match the rate of inflation so even taking inflation into consideration, it is still wayyy more expensive now

Gabriel Codina minimum wage would have to be like 28 dollars to be relatively as high as it was back then

Wage rates have risen with inflation in jobs with marketable skills. The unskilled labor market has stagnated due to the flood of illegal immigration and people who have no drive to get a marketable skill. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard, “Do you know anyone who is hiring that doesn’t drug test?”

I would love to hear the choices they essentially made and how it shaped their lives.

Please do the math.

@@sammymillerman High school graduates are generally 17-18, so the class of 1958 would have been born in 1958-18=1940 to 1958-17=1941. 2020-1940=80 so I would say that's right on the money. I think it would definitely be interesting to have a reunion of all 10 students, find out what they did with their lives, and show them the video and get their reactions. But the truth is, most likely at least 3 would no longer be alive, and there is some chance that one of them died young.

You make it seem like it is impossible not to have regrets in life

@@SmokeyGames420 still a lot a cheaper bro

2019 students "college should be free." Colleges take advantage of student loans and charge what ever they want because government will pay it if students don't. Need to hold colleges more accountable and it will be cheaper. No reason a family or person should be still paying loans 20 yrs. Later.

Yes this is very true, there was a study shown that high school students now have the same anxiety levels as a mental patient in the 1950s. So yes, you are correct.

Strange that I came across this video and your comment. I'm 45 and was recently recalling memories of adults laughing when I answered their questions seriously and thoughtfully. It was embarrassing and kept me from speaking my mind. Now I understand it caught them off guard and their reaction was involuntary. So now, as a grown man, I don't ever belittle someone for having less experience in life or assuming their youth is a detriment. Everyone should be heard and respected until they become disrespectful of others.

I don't think this one video with the intention of obtaining the thoughts of teenagers will give us insight into how adults back then treated teenagers with an opinion. After all, the 1950's and 60's had rampant sexism and you don't really see that in this video. You can find videos of people today having these kinds of discussions together. There's a whole youtube series doing that

is that why im trying to mentally portray everything in my life as a joke

@serendipidus1 What are "men" clothes. Last time I checked, they were simply clothes that were either dignified or undignified.

cuz they're jokes themselves they're too insecure to care

norton done They looked old as shit in this video as well.

Satan's Panties Well, back then in the 50s, teens looked considerably older than teens nowadays. Must be something in the water.

My father was a high school senior when this was filmed. He was born in 1940. These individuals are all members of the 'silent generation'. My father's attitude was basically to keep your head down and work, and just be happy you have a job. He really didn't have the idealism the baby boomers had. I feel this generation was more about post-war realities.

He sounds like the Looney Tunes narrator.

Alexander Björklund that’s actually crazy

wow

Ohh

Yes, it really puts perspective on things

Very interesting.

This is a weak argument because truthfully, Community College is VERY affordable for those that need the help. BOG Fee Waivers and Financial Aid end up putting students at every Community College I've been to in the positive... we all have actually gained more money than it costs each semester. This was the case at Antelope Valley College, Santa Monica College, and Compton College. All of us. I don't know a single student that complained about losing money because even the ones that came out of pocket (like me) got the money from the school. Furthermore, it's not uncommon at all for people to finish their undergraduate programs at real Universities with 0 debt because there are so many programs for people from low-income areas or if they're a first generation college student. AND if you couple this with doing your first 2 years at Community College, then you really have to put forth an effort to rack up some debt. At this point the whole "college is too expensive" thing is almost a cliche, tired argument that's been addressed for those that actually need to/want to attend. If we're talking undergraduate degrees then it's a good hypothetical but falls apart when put against reality.

Community college is pretty cheap though. Like a thousand a semester if you're full time. The only problem with community college is that a lot of them don't offer 4 year degrees, they just cap off at 2 years. That's why people just opt to go to university.

The reason college/university fees are high is because the education system is designed for the rich and wealthy. Whereas, the poor is expected to do the manual labour jobs. That's part of our social economic system in the free world. When you think about it, we can't all be lawyers, doctors and scientists. Someone has to do the everyday jobs.

@Joel Surrett That's not the cause of inflation, debt based money, i.e. fiat, and debaement of the currency is.

@@Aerojet01 I think that the increase in availability of loans and grants to students has affected the cost of education because the schools know that students will have said loans/grants. It's not the only or even main factor, but I do think it has contributed.

Except college is actually very expensive these days. The uni I'm going to is 70,000 per year without any financial aid (38k for me and that's after aid and opting out of college dorming). That's ridiculous. Most people don't even make that much per year before taxes and the cost of essentials.

Start early. Get a part time job and get some experience in the work world. At the same time, start to look at future career options and what it takes to get there. You can do it right here. Just type in "machine learning" on the search bar above, and you will see a range of selections giving additional information in that field. If that is not your thing try "brain surgery" or "cardiac care" or whatever it is in life that interests you. Then prepare yourself by getting the education needed to succeed in your chosen field. Have a 'Plan B' in case your first choice does not work out. As we go down the road of life we sometimes change directions voluntarily or because of outside factors. Be ready and adaptive to change. And finally, good luck. Sometimes you just get lucky.

The difference now is everyone follows the advice of that one girl and goes whether or not they know what they want to do in life. And then proceed to go in debt and have their lives ruined because going was useless for them. I like how they show both sides of this situation.

Michael Myers I don’t know the difference between “accent” and “dialect”, but there’s definitely a difference.

@@MrParkerman6 how about valley girl accent?

Rachel accents are different ways of pronunciation. Dialects are modified language like Appalachian English.

Well yes but they also sound like they’re talking higher, faster and sorta cartoonish. It has something to do with the old fashioned equipment and sound recording abilities.

I also felt the stupidity.

Bruce Wayne what's so stupid about being undecided lol sorry to break it you many people are undecided.

@@shahadshd5165 because while yes going to college allows you to explore opportunities, it racks up money very quickly unfortunately

@@shahadshd5165 believing college makes you educated... I have a degree and let me tell you it doesn't make you smarter. It's a waste of money and time.

OurLastStand ultimately what a college degree provides is an assurance to an employer that you can put up with a lot of bullshit. And bullshit is what a lot of employers provide to their employees. Walmart can suck my Joe Scott.

@Jay Man Oh, I think your grammar and spelling are a testament that you may not even have finished elementary school.

@Jay Man bruh..since march Government gave away nearly 8 trillion dollars to the stock market and biggest coroporations and spent equivalant of pennies to the small businesses and unemployed folks. They are giving trillions and trillions of dollars of forgivable loans to the biggest corporations, but the sky is going to fall if they forgive student loans, they r giving trillions of tax subsidies and rebates to the rich all the while their capital gains are taxed at 2% while workers labour is taxed more than 30%. You dont bat an eye on these trillions of dollars of spending, but god forbid if bernie wants to have universal healthcare.

@Jay Man College prices are artificially inflated, basically in most cases you need a textbook and a teacher to grade the exams, its literally coins. But in USA everything must make big money xD.

Jay Man Your taxes wouldn’t have been raised if Bernie was voted in. He wasn’t increasing taxes on the lower and middle class as it’s already too difficult for them

@Jay Man has left the chat.

Couldn't agree more dude

Lmao students in the video trying to claim they liked Shakespeare.

I was taught Macbeth at school by an alcohol-dependant Scottish woman - loved it!

@@Mark95876 I loved Shakespeare too... way better than all those depression era writers. But not a relatable skill....

Tbh I liked Shakespeare, their interesting well thought out stories. Their going to make us read some random book, so it might as well be the best the English language has.

Are you kidding me? You must be a boomer. 2:05 a real woman, head on her shoulders, realistic outlook, marriage material. 1:15 feminist, "womyn can do it all," and when she gets bored; hello divorce court!

She's a smart cookie.

tienglongmy tell m about it

My grandmother was 17 in 58 and sure enough in 59 she was 18 married and pregnant

tienglongmy You're being an idiot here, and you need to dial back your hate of feminism cause it's blinding you to perfectly normal or respectable women. The woman in this clip is in the *1950s.* She grew up in a time where feminism was still needed and wasn't the petty cancer it's become. All of her criticisms of the lifestyle back then are sound and affect both men and women.

absolutely , i know alot of young women even today who are eager to start a family. I think you should live out your life to the fullest so that if nothing more you will be able to share your experiences with your children. I think many want to be parents think about the baby they will make and not about the child/teenager/ young adult that they will raise. I'm sure many Mother's and Father's regret not going to college if they were given the opportunity once their child is college age and they can't give sound advice because they have never experienced that.

Not everyone needs a college education. Maybe working first and waiting to find the right man before getting married starting a family. Wasting time and money on an education that you won't need doesn't make sense.

Julie Nielsen investing in your education does not necessarily mean it’s a waste of money and time

@@stefania3577 - It does if it's something you'll never use. I can see now that there could have been a lot of subjects I might have taken that I didn't that would have been a waste of time learning.

I think everyone makes a great point. What I like about college is the education it provides that is just for yourself. However, the college debt for some students are insane.

minimum wage was lower along with prices and value of the US dollar, so its not as large as a gap as it may seem

@Proxy290 that's bull shit, I didnt go to college so why should I pay for someone elses degree! Make it so that only people who go to college pay that tax.

Expensive? I’m from Texas, north of Dallas, if google is somewhat accurate, community college is $3-4K a year, A&m is 12k a year. What’s that? $30k for tuition total. I know room and board is a factor but 30-40 grand is NOT expensive and well worth it.

@@Prodigysportsman it's comparative to back then. Full BS degree at A&M runs about $50-60k total.... Where in north Texas you from?

@@JordonDev the US dollar was higher in the 1950s, minimum wage back then was actually better than it is now

They've always challenged the status quo with the same little outcome. That's why these conversations sound so modern. Nothing has really changed it seems we've become stagnant

Tell this to the rest of the older peers on here. Because a lot of them are letting the nostalgia tell them differently

Maybe they should have changed something in the 80 years they’ve been alive. The must have forgotten there issues as teenagers and figured everyone needs to go through it because they did so they didn’t fix it

Xavier Guadarrama calm down, incel

Xavier Guadarrama Super suspect comment dude. I’ll be keepin tabs on you and the rest of the other Gilead wannabes

Doing that screams insecurity. I hate it.

Girl of Many Vloggities i know right. We’re slapping lables om each other constantly just because of slightly different opinions about things and it’s quite sad.

And not once was gay mentioned

You have not interacted with many teenagers then lately, but rather the stereotypes that surround them. All of my students, even the most vain are able to conduct themselves in a manner similar to this.

Nayeli White I’m sorry but i am a teenager. And i go to school everyday, you’d think i know what i’m talking about.

Matej Novosad Exactly. It isn’t that they’re mature because of the time period they live in, it’s that none of them have an IQ lower than 120.

@@samapesh795 Your IQ doesn't determine how emotionally or philosophically intelligent you are. Good communication skills and a high intelligence quotient aren't the same thing.

Matej Novosad yeah these weren’t the average teens, as the interviewer said they all had high marks and were doing very well in school, they are above average in intelligence so its no wonder why they spoke this way

Having a high iq doesn’t mean you have common sense

@@iloveindianationalhockeyte4621 agree.In fact, most people with high IQ throughout history are excentric and straight up sociopaths

@@matthatter2849 this was 1958. The black guy probably wouldn't be allowed to eat any where worth a damn.

Ok Escuchar.....let's detach our minds from all the propaganda we've been fed through programming and our schools. Things like that mainly happened in the deep south. Not in Los Angeles.

Greg Pettis I’m sorry, is that the title of a book? Why do you have so many capitalized words? People who go to college aren’t poisoned. That is what is so frightening about some so-called conservatives in recent times. Conservatives are overwhelmingly polling that higher education is evil. In just this past decade, this has become the mindset quickly. Welcome back to the dark ages!

@@WW-jh2ge Nobody said anything about conservatives.

Lucy Smith Nobody brought it up? I did, and it is worth mentioning because the post before me called it “poison.” That kind of talk generally comes from the right (see poll below), and they’re also the ones who couldn’t care less about reducing college debt. www.people-press.org/2017/07/10/sharp-partisan-divisions-in-views-of-national-institutions/

@@WW-jh2ge If someone from some other post called it "poison" then keep your comment tailored to that post and in that post. And I looked at your article. The article, graphs, and data did not show anything about whether or not Republicans think cost of college should be reduced. It's displaying whether or not Republicans believe college has an overall negative or positive impact on the country. And here it actually proves against your point. Up until 2015 it shows that Republicans do believe that college has an overall positive impact on the country. Only very recently has it switched. "As recently as two years ago, most Republicans and Republican leaners held a positive view of the role of colleges and universities. In September 2015, 54% of Republicans said colleges and universities had a positive impact on the way things were going in the country; 37% rated their impact negatively. By 2016, Republicans’ ratings of colleges and universities were mixed (43% positive, 45% negative). Today, for the first time on a question asked since 2010, a majority (58%) of Republicans say colleges and universities are having a negative effect on the way things are going in the country, while 36% say they have a positive effect." Now also it does not say anywhere in the article provided why they had such a polarizing switch on view of college recently. My take on the reasoning behind that switch is that Republicans maybe are feeling that the cost of college for what you get is too high and at the end it still does not guarantee you a job or guarantee an increase in standard of living. I believe a combination of media becoming echo chambers for their ideology, as well as the media and other common social outlets used in dividing the parties, and the cost of college increasing is what makes these Republicans have a change in view. But anyways, keep generalizing all Republicans go back to your echo chambers. The fact that it seems you have either barely read the source you have provided is unsettling. I am not even a Republican and I felt compelled to say something.

Not sure why its described a waste, if these people are really doing what they want to do and it will make then content. Does making more money really mean a 'better' life ?

Theyre probably all dead now. Life expectancy for kids born in 1940 was like ~60 years.

It has.. just less screaming!thoughtful discussion although it is disgustingly backwards. It is old but we derive the positives of dialogue. The whole world can see the problem the US has with dialogue. It's an experimental nation. Successful in many ways but and an expected failure in the idea multiculturalism. Fail 1000 years ago, a failure now.

Dick Tingler Nice perspective and points, I agree. I only want to ask about your statement of multiculturalism. What interventions do you think could prevent the inevitable collapse of America?

Because these kids are still alive it wasn’t that long ago

I know that's what I was thinking too!

@@adambozich1746 Not only that, there have also been studies that kids are getting out of college in debt. You could make the same amount of money as someone who didn't go to college.

Erika Heinen Well, keep in mind as well that all of these students were considered “gifted” at the time, or at the very least they were all above average. One of the adults states in the video that everyone here had an IQ of at least 120, and while IQ isn’t everything, I think it’s safe to say that these students probably aren’t reflective of the average at the time. Etiquette was different at the time, however, so who knows?

@@Zethoro Yeah it's hard to say. I also hear kind of a change in accent if that makes sense?? The young people back then sound different and I recognize how I've heard a lot of old people speak (cause obviously they're from that time.) Our accent today feels more blunt or something. On another note, a lot of accents like the new york, jersey, bostonian, belong to the older generations and rare to find a young person to have. Today we have a normal american accent, the watered down valley girl, and some new street and urban accents.

@@Zethoro they are also there for a serious discussion and not recording each other doing goofy shit for fun. Like there are vids of kids in similiar discussions today that sound just as well spoken but people just gotta compare two completely different things and say the old was better

two words Erika, Rap Music
