I've never been to college, barely graduated high school, and I'm the CEO of a small, local business in Miami. If you can afford an internet connection, you don't need college. Personally, high school was enough to get me sick of teachers, who feel like geniuses, because they teach, when in fact, they're morons. Forget college, the internet is all I need. If I wanna debate some clueless, pompous professor, the internet is full of em
Education system produces hard working people, not hard thinking people. school is not a place for philosophy or creativity. but it's not all that bad, because we get hard working doctors and workers that benefit us. School is not for creative people.
Derek Thomas Lirio OK Mr.ceo can u explain why all the top billionaires are drop out from ivy ? Because they were smart enough to get in in the first place
Derek Thomas Lirio couldn't agree anymore. People tend to follow along that mental that school is the way to be successful and a successful non graduate must of be something like a-gifted-millionaire, like bill gates..when success isnt measured that way at all. You could just make 60,000 a year and do awfully good for your self. By Gaining necssaary skills or business moves that can't be taught at school. In less than four years you can learn and achieve alot. I'm not against college at all. But it's not necessary and a bit misleading.
I have a high school diploma, (big whoop!) I own two custom 18 wheelers, I work four days a week, 10-12 hours a day and I put on average $127,000 to $150,000 a year in my pocket after taxes/expenses which is more than enough for me as I chose not to marry or have kids. I know two guys with college degrees, they change my oil and tires.
you need skill, I'm graduate Audio Engineer, but I'm study MBA, personal MBA book, because I'm want gain more skill, incase my major doesn't work, I can be at least a management position , which is equal pay as audio engineer, so be smart and earn skill, and demonstrated to potential employer
I've been working in business since I was about 15. I can tell you, getting an MBA means nothing. Audio engineering, I guess it depends what your goals are. But there is absolutely no reason why you couldn't have started working both those fields since high school.
Leonard Rey Barba we also need electricians, power plant technicians, plumbers, construction workers to keep those homes running. Not to mention the people who build roads, fix our cars, fly planes (no degree required actually), and inspect those aircraft so we don’t fall from the sky and die. There are people who innovate and those who find better ways to maintain what’s being created. These are blue collar workers.
i'm a freshman in college, after this last semester i think i want to take a year off to really dedicate time working on myself/reading more books. college is just not for me & i want to/WILL be a self-made millionaire...soon. :) i know there are many doubting me right now, but that's okay!
Not all educators "feel like geniuses" and not all educators are "morons." You'll find in life that there are simply people who "feel like geniuses" and are "morons." Feelings and Facts differ.
Degrees have been reduced to passports for customs to stamp and approve. Human resources keeps typing bachelors of arts required on the job post, even though it says nothing aboit the individual other than they are obedient enough to spend 100 grand of they are told to.
I WISH I WAS TOLD THE DIFFERENCE OF COLLEGE VS A TRADE SCHOOL, I WISH I STUDY CARPENTRY, COSMETOLOGY, NURSING RN OR I THINK I NEEDED COLLEGE, MY STEP FATHER GAVE NO NO GOOD ADVICE, I WISH I DID NOT HAVE A DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY, I WANT SOME COLLEGE AND A BETTER HIGH SCHOOL ED, I WISH I STAY IN 2003, I WISH I KNEW WHAT I REALLY WANT THEN, I WOULD BE NICE IF THE GOVERNMENT GAVE FREE CARS TO STUDENTS THAT COULD NOT AFFORD IT, ESPECIALLY IN CT WHERE THERE ARE NO BUSES OR TRAINS AND THE COMMUTE TO A COMMUNITY COLLEGE IS VERY FAR, IT NOT LIKE NYC.
College is not for everyone. I went to college and make a good living but I'm in student loan debt with almost no chance of coming out of it. I have a bachelor's but I have many friends with masters and a few with PhD, I make almost twice as they do and I am still struggling
To answer the title of the video, this is my advice. If your into these following list of majors, then college is for you - Medical Field - Professional Engineering - Hard Sciences (Computer, Chemical, Medical) - Accounting - Law (Not Recommended but be my guest) - Education (Also not Recommended but the choice is yours) If your not into these subjects, your better off considering these alternatives - Community College - Trade School - Starting a business - Apprenticeship - Coding Boot Camp If your into anything in the Arts and Humanities (Art, Writing, Acting Philosophy, anything that ends with the term "studies"), your better off teaching yourself and doing it on the side.
Love this list! I only disagree with 2 points. Law: Do not practice law unless you have a full ride scholarship or get into the top law schools or want to be a corporate lawyer (soul sucking) or Injury Lawer (think TV ad lawyer) or Independent Lawyer. Education: Yes, we need more teacher at all levels, but the low pay and long hours might discourage you.
lol at all the kids that drop out of school thinking they’ll make it big and become millionaires all of a sudden. College is more secure, of course u still have to do your research and make sure you’re not getting a bullshit degree and working towards something actually practical. Sure, some of u may make it but I’m not gonna take that risk. I, myself am still learning about investing and all I can about business WHILE getting a worthwhile degree
RoIIingStoned trades (apprenticeships) are pretty good paying, carry almost no debt, and are useful outside of the workplace (for example a contractor could build their own house).
RoIIingStoned exactly, you won’t take the risk so you won’t have the potential to reap the rewards. My BioInformatics company makes so much money I don’t even know what to do with it. I never completed Junior year
@@cloejarozenski5109 hope you reply to this, but doesn’t bioinformatics need you to have a biology major first? Or bio and comp sci? How do you scale something like that?
College isn't required for geniuses with innate drive and ambition, but for us mere mortals or pedestrians, it is the ticket to opportunities we otherwise wouldn't have access to. It doesn't make us inherently superior to those without a degree, but we do have more economic opportunities in general.
A friend of mine went to study International tourism at University... I quizzed her on geography and found she had no idea what the country Paris was in. She also did not know the capital of Scotland was... we are from Scotland.
also alot of kids drop out do to bad grades in their gne ed class even with good grades in their applied classes. why becuase they do not have the ability to just go to trade school where they would do well because financial aid does not exist for trade school and companies want you to already be trained so we have a gap in people who can do jobs in the trades. i am such a case. got good grades in my comp classes but sucked at my general ed, plus other stuff, but even with experience and certifications alot of entry level help desk jobs that wont take more of my knowledge to do than an A+ cert want an associates or a bachalors usualy the latter. so im stuck in an under paid job because a life and b i couldnt just go to trade school instead of college that actualy takes 4 years to complete a so called 2 year degree because you know people have to have a job whale they are in school. the people who talk on there interviews and shit in the big universities and big cities or online have no clue what they are talking about. i have the skills to do a lot of jobs but without a piece of paper from an institution that i have to pay for or experience that i cant get because everyone wants you to have it already with an employer i am stuck. welcome to america home of the fucked.
With recent year in my jobs I have met people with college degree in debt getting pay the same as me of $2 more and they tell me straight up it was a waste of time and they have student loans they living the same way I am I’m a strong believer you don’t need a degree for some area to work .
HOW much code has he actually wrote ? More like HOW much banksters does he know !!! Most slaves do NOT have the same opportunity and resource to thief. My opinion.
Stopped going to school and stayed at home after high school. I work with hands at 25 and honestly Work long hard days but it’s all worth it cuz I bring home over 70k on my w2. College would have easily put me in debt and I don’t think I would have known really where to go after anyways. No debt for me haha if you can hustle and network your way to a good job then do it!! and stay there for a while. Pays off down the road instead of books for 4 to 8 years. Hoping that your job you want is still there or worth it..
Great grandfather's deathbed wish; I hope my Grandchildren will go to college one day. Me a Doctorate holder (his Grandchild) wishing; I hope my Grandchildren will go to college one day.
The issue is college is a poor economic decision due to the cost and a poor life decision if it’s all about binge sex and binge drinking. Our government backing subprime college debt is a terrible incentive for universities to print buildings and BS social justice majors.
"War is peace; Freedom is slavery; Ignorance is strength"...... oder Peter Thiel "Freiheit und Demokratie passen nicht zusammen"...... Das ist Totalitarismus 2.0
Look, I'm broke and I'm not that intelligent. I think people like me should go to college but unfortunately for me I could never keep a actual job and I hated the lack of off days and I was in so much pain all because of my job that made me missable...
A college degree isn't necessary for a successful future? Pure BS! Although she's now in student debt up to her ears, a college degree will ultimately lead my niece to the proverbial pot of gold. A major in gender studies and minor in art history is gonna' pave that gal's path with gold. She'll have corps & NGOs knockin' at her door the day she has that sheepskin in hand.
