Good. Say no to college debt.
For now… we need trump in office
And we need hard working ones, not these Gen Z Iazy as f TikTokers and IG.
Amen
Or leave the country. I’m finishing my school in Germany, and for everything, it’s costing me $8,000 a year
Uber Eats, UberX, and Starbucks cover 100% of ASU Online’s tuition. It’s crazy that I can deliver food for a bachelor’s degree, but I am.
Imagine a family where 1 can fix electricity, 1 can fix house, 1 can fix cars, 1 can grow & cook food, 1 can sell, 1 is a healer. Sounds self sustainable to me. Who needs college.
Healer😂
Doctors go to college afaik
Heal datass and then wax on, wax off 😛
Man that sounds a Final Fantasy jobs system lineup 😂😂😂
bro tryna turn his family into a team comp
So glad Gen Z is learning from the mistakes of the previous generation.
Very smart! I support that 100%. College has gotten out of hand with the tuition and with the propaganda! College is not worth it anymore.
It’s only worth it for certain fields. Most are NOT worth it.
Completely disagree. There was an oversaturation of people being pushed into college. There should be a decent share of people in both college and trade school. It makes the degrees much rewarding and valuable when obtained instead of an oversaturated amount of college degrees.
This is not about propaganda you Dimwit. Even if college were "unbiased" or even conservative that still would be over because human brain is being replaced by AI
College is not meant for everyone.
The "College for All" push was a silly move and has ruined the value of degrees, ruined the pay of degreed jobs by drastically increasing supply, skyrocketed the cost of attendence (saddling students with lifelong debt), and made employers add degree requirements where they did not previously exist (forcing people to pursue unnecessary degrees to enter a career)
College isnt in decline. Its a major correction of enrollment back to where it should never have left from.
Universities had to lower the bar below zero because "diversity"
There is no good news here. Wages have been stagnant in the US for 40+ years. More people training for fewer jobs just means lower wages to come.
Here’s what’s going to happen… everybody is going to start applying to trade school, the tuition is going to get jacked up, and the employment opportunities is going to dwindle.
More than this, we will leave the job market open for foreign professionals to take over higher positions that require a degree. This is not a great thing.
I think vocational school is awesome, as I went to a vocational school which allowed me to to work in a specific area and earn money so that I could go further. I’m afraid the US is setting things up so that we ultimately will not succeed.
@@Rene-cn4jc oh my god! You are a god send!!! I’ve been that exact same thing on other channels. International are already taking over Managerial positions in government and the private sector. We’re setting ourselves up to be service oriented workers, meaning no more food trucks, taco stands, 7 Eleven’s, Thai and Chinese Food Restaurants for the International population. They’re now going take over the C-Suites, working side by side with the descendants of the former plantation owning elites. Then that’s going to be a problem. The best thing people can do is starting studying business and finance oriented curriculum, skip the Masters and start focusing on licensing and certifications instead. That’s how you will flood the job market.
Nah, won't happen. People will still chase credentialization overload and continue to drive down wages for professional occupations as they have done for 20 years. This is just an infomercial paid by the school. The trades will continue to do better than professionals.
@@Dave-qi3ft what do you think is happening in the trades???! You get credentialed when you go in the trades. Since when did trades cost $20,000 to $30,000???!!!
@@shaunmc013 I don't know what your point is.
First thing they should teach the students is honesty. So much lies in the business like auto repair, air conditioner services. Finding one honest repair service is not easy.
Yes and the "Professionals" in suits are pure as the driven snow. Maddof, SBF, all of wall street, Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, etc. In FACT I can make a sound case that investment firms are directly responsible for the DEATHS of 350+ people who died in Boeing 737 MAX 9 crashes, by ignoring the engineers and not spending the money to train 737 pilots on the handling characteristics of the 737 MAX 9. Instead the bean counters forced a very poor hardware/software solution to trick the pilots into thinking that plane handled like what they had been trained on.
@@mikewurlitzer5217 professionals are honest and upfront. Auto repair are defensive and scammers from experience. I don't mind what the price is much just dont lie to me
True. We need more honesty in this world.
Integrity begins at home. If parents are teaching their kids its ok to lie and cheat, no school is going to change their character.
I was thinking this a week ago. Integrity is non existent these days you can’t even trust business to do right by you no more for the simplest things.
College guarantees debt but not a job.
We need more trade schools! Trade workers should get paid more than an office worker. It's much more physical, and it's always needed.
As an office worker, I wholeheartedly agree that most of us are completely useless. What I do only matters because I'm nice to my customers. But what we do and sell means absolutely nothing to society.
trade workers get paid less because it's not hard, it takes 2 years to learn it
@@yoel8543office work is not hard. Some trade jobs are strenuous and dangerous. I can do my office in 2 hours. But I’m forced to sit in that for 8 year so my boss can baby sit a staff. I do mean baby sit. I can work from home and a go in the office 5x a month. They gotta justify payroll with someone in a chair.
@@yoel8543Well most bachelor’s programs in universities would take only 2 years to do as well if universities didn’t make it a requirement for their students to take general ed courses.
Used to learn on the job....
Now these middle men take the $$$$.
14k😢
It sucks, but some companies/unions will accept an apprentice with no trade school. I know a few guys who did that.
Excellent report! I did both College & Trade school!! I learned NOTHING in College worthwhile, but I am still using what I learned in the Trade School I went to in the late 1970's!!!
What was your major in college and what trade did you learn?
I once studied welding at a vocational/tech school. 2017/2018.
Thats when it had started to get real popular. Kids were flooding into the welding field like crazy and suddenly employers had a large surplus of applicants, thus leverage.
One thing led to another, employers reduced their wage offerings to $15/hr.
So i left welding.
When it comes to money, anything will be flooded
What AI can't replace. Undocumented workers who do it for half as much money will 😂
Good luck with the quality of their work.

@@mp737-jh7qbyou only say that to make yourself feel better. But the truth is in half of trade jobs are being taken by immigrants and they accept less pay with decent work. It's practically rampant
screw blue collar jobs. I finished my bachelors and I'm debt free. I absolutely hate doing blue collar jobs which I had to do a lot of to pay my way through college.
Nothing wrong with starting in a blue collar position and then going through college for the higher education. I think that’s the better option these days , especially for people who don’t necessarily know what they want to do straight out of high school.
@@KSWKREWreally sound advice for anyone starting out
@@KSWKREW i was white color jobs switching blue color jobs. I can tell blue color jobs are boring & repetetive & shitty pay. I missed my only skilled jobs 6 years ago

Trade schools are a lot better than College.
Stupid conclusion. We need a well rounded economy, with trade school professionals as well as people like doctors, engineers, and actuaries.
This is definitely a cope. College level education is much more valuable to an evolving society, not that trades aren’t valuable.
only when economy goes well, in recession is a problem as well
Also used the trade money to get certifications from colleges.

Smart move. Don’t waste your time with a BS college degree. It’s useless.
It true I was going to a interview for pest control and the interviewer dude ask me why haven’t I got a business job if I have a degree in that it been hard I apply to like 100 of jobs no luck that what I told him I think it be better if I didn’t put that waste of time degree in my resume
Pfft for the ones who don’t care…
Only stem. But you should be able to get a job with your business degree. I never said it would initially pay good.

@@romannavarro1178 general business? What is the concentration? Do you live in a metro?
Imo gotta live in a big city for a business degree to work its magic. Is it from a state school?
The economy is not exactly great right now. Bidenomics isn’t working.
I’ve advocated for technical schools more than I do college. Too many useless degrees . Technical school is even quicker and more affordable.
Just an FYI sometimes you don’t even need to go to a vocational school to become a professional tradesman. You can obtain a lot of your certifications simply by becoming an apprentice, then journeyman, and then once you’re competent enough to take the tests & pass them, you’ll be on your own. This is exactly what I did in automotive. The dealership I work for paid for me to go to Honda School while I worked for them and I achieved Master Tech in about 3 years. Now I own a home, have no debt other than a mortgage, and have a 911 Turbo.
Finally, maybe there is a chance for Gen Z
The people who do this are smart. My landlady has 3 sons, 20, 22 and 24. Youngest is training as a carpenter, middle is in the Coast Guard and has already bought a house, oldest graduated from a state college then trained as a fireman, and is engaged. Nice young men, very responsible.

One year of trade school for $20K 😮. Does that seem outrageous?!??
Not at all. Spend 20k once to learn a life skill and earn well over 40k per year. Everyone needs infrastructure repair at one time or another.
Trade schools used to be $500 per quarter around the early to mid 2000s averaging about 6 quarters (1.5 years) to complete. Total cost $3000! Now this guy is talking about $20-30K per year. For that cost you can go to a State University and graduate with a 4 year bachelors.
@@GeorgiaMade404706 my thoughts exactly. $20K for one year of trade school is outrageous 😳

Theft of Service Leaders in an educated opinion.
I was a field service tech for Cummins Allison 852 Feehanville Drive Mount Prospect, IL 60056... They make money counting equipment however ,this is what ya deal with, half assed refurbished parts and to top it of they told me not to do the preventative maintenance anymore at customer sites just run the vacuum a little bit and wipe down the machines (make it look good). I was like "But that is gonna make the service call numbers go up and is >theft of service< WHY ? Well they wanted to keep selling new equipment every 3 years or so as the stuff would have lots of problems see ? With At Will, I was fired...SAD HUH ? Country is in TROUBLE...INVESTIGATION is needed asap folks. I thank you. BTW
Finally some GOOD news 👏🏽👏🏽
Engineers are not radicals as we are bound by REAL Laws of physics not the artificial BS laws which can change almost weekly. Our laws and rules can be depended upon to remain truthful no matter how we FEEL, no matter what country we are in, or if we travel to distant planets.
Exactly. So glad I picked engineering (software)
What happens when they start building robots that can do these jobs? Because it's 100% possible. The question becomes is it less expensive for companies to pay for robot maintenance than paying annual salaries and benefits.
That wont be a problem for a while
If you cant beat them join the robots
Eventually perhaps but when on a sinking ship move to the highest point, maybe UBI will have come out once everyone else is unemployed, point is you don't want to be the first.
We are so far from that its not even funny. Our robots can barely walk across a room they cant even hand me a bottle of water without tripping over my kids toys on the floor. BTW what happens when 200lb robot falls on someone or one of their kids due to malfunction lol.
Its not even close dude.
@sumofat4994 you clearly haven't seen the videos I have. They have made robots that can perform movie stunts/trapeze acrobatics. They have also made robots that can shoot guns with deadly accuracy. So, they can absolutely create terminator scenarios. Do more research... dude
Trade schools are the way to go instead of going to a 4 year university not to mention tens of thousand of dollars in debt.
My youngest left college when classmates said he shouldn't have the right to vote because he is prolife. Now working on the journeyman license.
I worked for this “school”. Their primary mission to is extract financial aid, they are for profit. High student to teacher ratios, under equipped labs and no real concern for delivering useable skills. The trades are vitally important. Community Colleges, union/company apprenticeships offer better value and higher skill development. Encourage underplayed people of any age to look at the trades, and encourage them to steer clear of for profit schools
Any reputable financial advisor will tell you to avoid debt at any cost.
good!!! Stay smart! Let AI and the jobs it took over fall!!
Problem is we grew up in a society that takes. And takesm
THEY WILL DEFINITELY REGRET THAT DECISION ONE DAY IN THEIR LIFETIME. SADDDDDDDD
Regret? Why?
Doubt it.
With the influx of immigrants who can do most of these jobs for cheaper. I think you are correct unfortunately

This is great but they should speak about all the injuries too.
How about the thousands more who can have their lives, businesses ruined by the "Professionals" in Wall Street?
We’re literally in a south park episode at this point.
This is why the Goobacks had to travel back in time to the 90's to find employment.
I'm Gen Z. I avoided college debt by taking AP classes and getting scholarships. I have a law degree, and zero college debt.

Interesting, I’ll be doing that also. Thanks!
AP classes are truly a godsend if you take them seriously. You will have college credits and state schools will be begging you to attend with plenty of scholarship opportunities. Thanks to those AP classes, I was able to graduate a year early with an engineering degree and no debt. Do your research kids

SMART MOVE.. I wish I did this. 4 year college was not worth it for me. Unless you are getting a degree as a lawyer, doctor or specialist scientist
And look at how "Professionals" are now perceived. America's most dishonest and despicable professionals are, Lawyers, Lawyer/Politicians, Lawyer/Judges". Doctors have colluded with Big Pharma and the WHO and WEF. Seems there are no real ETHICS courses in colleges/universities. It is so bad, that even at the level of the US Supreme Court, every American has to be concerned who occupies the WH and who holds the Majority in the Senate when an appointment is made. If these were people of good character, 100% loyal to OUR Constitution, it should not matter one iota who was in power at the time.
Going to college is bs. I learned way more overseas than my 4 years of college
Smart !! Everybody can work a computer.. Trades will solve it!!
Wow. Can't believe I became a doctor in 1 yrs.
I pay welders average $4000 a week. Learn a trade folks!!!
That’s the trade I want to get into.

They say this but as an electrician I see TONS of young kids come and go. They think they want to do the trades… then they get out here and realize how hard in the body and mind the trades are and quit. These new generations are too soft to handle the work usually.
Nah, I work as a commercial electrician and I don't think 50k a year is worth destroying my body over... I'm starting my own business soon to get out of the industry
@@gabriels6444that’s smart. But if you think you are gonna avoid your body wasting away it happens at any job. We all die no matter what you do and time ALWAYS wins against the body. The one thing I will say about the trades, all the old electricians I know in their 60s and 70s and healthy and built like a brick house. They stayed active their entire life at work and got young apprentices to do the heavy lifting when they got older but still stayed very active at work and they age WAY better than people that sit all day or think going to the gym 3 days a week is enough.
Knowing what I know now 60 years later, I wonder if I would have taken a hard look at a good trade school at the time I started college in 1963. I wanted to be a fighter pilot and serve my country in Vietnam. At the time one had to have a four year college degree to get a commission in the service, and a commission in order to go to pilot training. So I majored in Radio and Television Communications, arguably a trade school curiculum, and had a brief stint as a broadcaster at a major market AM and FM radio station before being commissioned in the Marines and becoming a career military and commercial airline pilot. My college major could have been in a trade school. If the military had recognized such training as equivalent to a four year degree, I might have taken that route. Unfortunately, the military still requires a four year degree to become an officer today. It doesnt take a degree in aerospace engineering to become a competent fighter pilot or serve in another officer specialty. I wonder why the US military still has this educational bias?
I appreciate all of you!
The trades is nice, if you just want to be an employee and are following the comfortable path. Comfortable path being.. .you are just assigned a set of tasks of responsibilities for you to accomplish and that's it. You're stuck at that level, you become better at it sure.. but that's it for you. Owning a business in Trade is a whole other thing.
The only issue with Trades is the toll it will take on your body and how easier it is to lose a job due to injuries than market.
While people with degrees choosing the employee route, can also lose their jobs to the market more easily than a Trade.
The degree person can still work if they brake/lose a leg or arm. or any other physically damaging scenario. Because they are paid to use their brain, mostly.
Meanwhile the Trades, you are paid for your physical body mainly, rather than to think. You already have the knowledge from experience.
However, the person in corporate can still function since their job is not that physically demanding.
1 accident is all it takes, for you to have no income at all.
Lol, until trade schools start getting expensive.
If everyone goes into trades, the field gets saturated, it gets harder to get a trade job, and then all those new tradesmen are screwed.
The labor shortage in trades is chronic. There will be no issue with employment. I work in construction project management
@@jexselzayasjr5626 they say the same about software engineering, yet you still need 3 years of work experience for an entry-level job
@@jexselzayasjr5626 there’s also a supposed shortage in the CS industry, yet the biggest companies just laid off thousands and people with 3 years of experience have to apply hundreds of times to find a job
Essential workers are the key.
So I've asked, with all of the big-name universities and colleges and HUGE money US economy is always in a meltdown.
My son is Gen Zier and in college now, but I sent him this video. Hopefully he’ll like it and changes his mind and get a trade.
It’s only worth stem, healthcare, and certain business degrees. Honestly the trade will pay more or a construction management degree than the business degree with better opportunities in the long term. Just my opinion.
As an electrician…. I’d keep him in school. The trades are SUPER hard on your body and I work 60 hour weeks. Wake up at 4:00 am everyday. You won’t make it in the trades unless it is what you e wanted your entire life. These people trying to jump into trades for money won’t make it. You have to WANT to be a plumber, electrician, carpenter, ect as a dream from childhood.
@@shasmi93 and you got to enjoy working hard and enjoy that grind. Most ppl want to get paid but don’t really want to do the work.
Wait until robotics are catchingup
If my son doesnt know what he wants my wife and I plan to push him towards trade school. He is already good at fixing things, and he is into hobby RC and puts these RC cars together very well
I install floors and clean floors making money hand over fist. Only issue is no competent help
nooo that means the trades value will go down and we’ll be paid less
Learning a trade will cost less, and the graduates can earn a lot more than those who have gone to college, I did trade school in two years was a HVAC technician, and was earning one, and a half times more than my cousin who went to college, and got a business degree!
It’s a good field. And once you learn it you can just service and replace units. You can choose not to mess with duct work if you don’t want to.
It depends. If you go to college for engineering like what I’m doing, you’ll make more than any trades job.
Instead of using 80 percent mental energy like engineer, you are using 45 mental, 45 physical (varies a bit depending on trade) but it equates to more wasted energy and lower pay.
@@rlans002 I agree. I worked at a shop that more or less worked like a union. Level 1 engineers get paid more on paper than level 1 machinists. But with over time level 1 machinist get paid more. However, top tier engineers get paid such a good salary that the top tier machinist falls behind even with all the overtime. Though this shouldn't be the case. I know engineers who started as machinists. They never said machining is harder than engineering, but technical skill to pay load, engineer is better.
And more details?
For most there is no reason to go to college. Jobs used to pay for the degrees through better pay, but pay scales have not kept up with the costs of college.
I have been advising young people to skip college and go to a trade school for the past 10 years, it is amazing it has taken these young people this long to catch on to this ides. But it is great to see, in today's educational system you have to have a Masters or Doctorate degree in order to make good money, but educational schools can teach you a wide range of skills like an Electrician or a Carpenter, Plumber just to name a few. I have a BA in Clinical psychology & Business Admin, but in addition I have a universal refrigeration lisc. & Unlimited boilers lisc. & Certified Facilities manager & about 10 FEMA Certificates just to name a few. This all started with earning my two degrees in 1979, I am 67 mow home and car paid off living comfortably

Don’t kid yourself the robots will take their jobs too. Sooner than you think.
Well, if most people convert to blue-collar jobs, then these markets will eventually be saturated again and these jobs will eventually become low-paying and extremely competitive areas. It's not a smart move to ditch college completely. There are so many robots that are being developed that can replace most physical-labor-required jobs in a heartbeat. In fact, these robots are such developed in aerobics that even the best gymnasts cannot compete against them now. On the other hand, aren't these guys thinking about creating "smart pipelines"? If there are smart versions of pipelines as such, then good luck for plumbers for good. And it is not that hard really. So, there really has to be a regulation of some sort on AI directly from governments, or people gathering together and protesting or revolting against companies that are laying off people using AI. As a Computer Scientist and developer, I see its magnitude as mindblowing. If there are no ways to regulate the usage of AI or provide UBI(Universal basic income), then really good luck with what kind of a chaos we will face. I really don't want to even think about it, it's way way way worse than a potential WW3 scenario.
I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately, and even if we overcome the barriers to reach AGI or super intelligence, I highly doubt the intelligence agencies will just sit by and watch these Silicon Valley geeks take their power away. In the event we reach AGI I’m sure the government will seize all internal documents and servers at said companies and classify them at the same level as nuclear technology.
YES! I have argued in favor of vocational training for young adults. This is GREAT for the economy, upwards socioeconomic mobility, mental health, strong families and reducing crime. It's head-scratching to hear professors tear this idea apart. But then again, they tend to lean on theory and preferred ideology, while engineers and skilled workers are involved in facts of every day real life.
Students graduate from trade school with debt?? That shouldn't be the case. These programs cost around $2k total, but colleges are now turning HVAC and other trades into "associate degrees" to squeeze more money out of customers. My bad. I meant students.
I got two associates degree from a community college, one of which was in hvac, and I paid just over 1000$ for both when all was said and done .
AI humanoids can potentially take any job.
Only a handful of diverse, hard-to-replicate, physical labor-required jobs will not be automated shortly. However, these are the sort of jobs even most blue-collar workers truly hate and want to possibly avoid. Only dangerous and low-paying jobs will not be able to be replaced so it's actually not that much of a smart move ditching the college altogether.
Essentially, ALL jobs are in danger, whether these are white-collar or blue-collar.
A year ago people were listing off the jobs which could not be possibly replaced by the AI now seeing that some of them are already replaced for good. I think plain village life will be mandatory for most people as the financial system is going to radically change or totally collapse which will lead people to find alternative ways that don't include being a part of the system. People will be forced to learn survival skills in the nature.
My 16 year old nephew is taking this approach and I’m so happy he is. He wants to go into construction or become an electrician maybe both… it’s hard to argue the intelligence of such a decision … careers like the one I have will easily be replaced by AI in the next decade. Fine by me - I’m looking to retirement by that time anyway. But eventually there will be a major paradigm shift in the workplace we’re all going to have to come to terms with as a society- it’s going to be interesting how it all shakes out.
Yet.
Right choice!
Yeah, come and be a bus driver. A.I. won't be taking my job anytime soon and there's only so much that A.I. could do!
Yeah but what will your not considering the possibility that schools may move to virtual learning
@@MutedMinimalist Then he can be a bus driver for senior citizens
Elon Musk would disagree
Sales. Sales isn’t going to dominate that field anytime soon.
Well school is pretty hard.
$20 to $30,000??? I thought it was free?!!! I got a Bachelors for free! No student no loans - studied my a** off and got scholarships, grants, financial aid.. put the work in, stay away from those loans, and study hard no matter how long it takes..
University is theoretically still beneficial for the highly motivated student, but the problem is that most students are at University to socialize and party. So, they end up with meaningless degrees with empty promises of attractive job offers and a huge student debt that they hope will be forgiven one day.
Good
That’s also a lot of money!
More services, specialized on hands on work is deflationary, stuff gets done faster, things get fixed faster, logistics gets done faster
Trade schools comeback. I almost went welding 8 years ago but went engineering instead. One of the last degrees I would say is worth it.
Smart move
Any recommendations for jobs not affected by AI?
