I go to college to help me advance in my personal plans which do not require a degree. Qualify for grants and pass classes equals no debt for me. The cash will run out if I decide to stay for a degree then I would owe. Not part of my plan.
@@namenotfound8747 Did you know 105.8% of statistics are made up on the spot? Don't underestimate the number, there are quite a few, and most humans have an innate desire to learn on subjects they are interested in; add that with powerful tools like the internet and you have a formula for a revolution. It's politics that have prevented the takeover of merits via virtual learning, not very different on how hard they are trying to make decentralized banking seem inferior and hiding the truth of private centralized banking controlling the economy.
@@AxemanMessiah Child's play. Humans are inclined to learn, but we all unequally capable of doing so. Simply put, autodidacts all display levels of genius. But not all geniuses are autodidacts. Without the fundamentals, you lose more then you would gain. Because the people that are self taught, are already doing it. Only look at human history to find them. Whenever humans have decided that they "knew" better, that they have figured out some ultimate truth, and forsaken the knowledge of the past, it has only ended in tragedy. The annihilation of paganism resulted in the destruction of the library of Alexandria, which had nearly all the known knowledge of that time in the region. Knowledge that would take over 1000 years to be rediscovered in the Islamic golden age. Or look at the cultural revolution of China, killed 20 million people trying to leave the knowledge of the past behind. WWII: blame Jews, Cambodian genocide: blame the educated. We could do this all day. Learn history, not prophecy.
@@namenotfound8747 Not sure if you got the message, I am saying virtualized learning can replace occupations that do not require licensure with the modern tools we have, so it is not "self-taught" but a school. Regarding your example, there as just as many examples countering it. It is not a prophecy, it's happening today..you are using it right now. ;)
@@AxemanMessiah I do not oppose virtualizing education of any kind if done right. I do oppose when people start saying we should start gutting elements out that they don't like because of convenience. I don't care if my phone knows the answer to a math question before I do, the moment society says that we don't need to learn the fundamentals of education because we have modern tools, so lets just go straight to what we "want", we lose sight of what we "need" to keep progressing forward. That kind of flawed thinking comes from people that don't know or want to know history at a deep level, and don't respect the laws of physics. New technology doesn't automatically trump or replace the old. A computer does make it easier to communicate, but if tomorrow some jackass says since we have computers, we shouldn't worry about learning to write. What's next? Let's not learn how to read? Because we have computers that do it better then we do. licensures and accreditation is there to stop stupidity, do institutions stray from there core objective, yes. But getting lazy and saying screw math, I'm a writer, what do I care? Or any other craze and delusional notion, pick your poison.

Apprenticeship is what I strived for, for several years. However, while applying and testing for apprenticeships at the big three in Michigan, each time I was told, either you cannot be given an application because the jobs are for women and minority's or, because you are white you must score at least 99 or 100% to even be considered. This after I was tested at 97% on skilled trades testing after being a machinist for several years. The system of apprenticeships is severely broken and I have long abandoned any hope of pursuing this!

Let you passion drive your expertise, and learn on your own...
@stanleykaffee No, most of them don't stand a better chance. Working for 10 years on 'meager wages' is better than going into $80K in debt. Ten years later they both and up at the same place but the person who didn't go to college has no debt and actually has a positive financial position while the person who went to college still has 20 years worth of debt. But you keep telling yourself that it's worth it. Go ahead; rack up as much student debt as you want. It's your life.
The barrier to information is rapidly dissolving. I am making money (not that much yet) doing freelance motion graphics animation, and I am purely self-taught. The crux of my knowledge came from those 10 dollar Udemy videos and consistent, deliberate practice. This, however doesn't mean it will be smooth sailing for everyone. We live in a hyper-distracted time where you are bombarded with thousands of ads and newsfeed vying for your attention. You must have the self discipline to sit down and focus for long periods of time on whatever it is you are doing without going on an uncontrollable youtube binge spree. That's pretty much it. The power to focus and not get distracted by mundane information is the most powerful weapon you can have today.
If you are given an opportunity where you can make money and you have to learn a skill to do so, not everyone will try to learn that skill, but those that do and do it fast tend to be successful.
@Mike There are thousands of companies that offer in-house training and online courses in art, programming, online marketing e.t.c at a fraction of the cost that universities charge. There is nothing unethical about that. I fail to see his point.
@Mike What is it and what does it have to with training provided by private companies that are not in academia? Do note that when I mean training, I mean online courses or books that you can buy. Seminars or webinars are not training. Those are marketing ploys to indoctrinate new people into a product or service.
Very important is to put what you lean to use. For example, have you bought a Cisco network switch to program one? Have you bought any DC Servo amplifiers to program the PID loop? Do you know the difference in incremental encoders line vs transitions, vs analog out and interpolation? Quiz, DC servo motor, with an incremental encoder of 500 lines per rotation, with analog out, connected to a 20X interpolation decoder. What is the resolution of the motor position per transition? Can you tune the PID loop for this motor, encoder, and the mass on the motor? Have you leaned how to change a BGA part? Do you own an oscilloscope? Do you own a function generator? Have you used them together to find the impedance of a microphone cable? Have you designed a PCB? Have you debugged your board when it didn't work as planned? Can you properly implement an RS-485 line to a data recorder? Do you know what DATAQ makes? Do you own one? Do you know the difference between a voltage amplifier and transconductance amplifier used in servos? In DC motors, do you know the relation between Speed, Power, Torque, to Voltage, Current, and power? Do you know what a coreless motor is? Can you program a VFD as a closed loop servo? You do not need a degree to learn all of the above. Showing your potential employer how you implement those skills is important. Last interview I was quizzed about DMM use. let them know I had a DSO, microwave tracking counter, and 3 DMMs, I was hired. Get some test equipment and know how to use it. Buy equipment and learn how to set it up. User manuals are fantastic. Creativity is important. Needed to test some magnets used with Hall sensors. Instead of buying an expensive magnetic field instrument, simply bought some very inexpensive analog hall sensors and used a new magnet for reference, and then graphed the relative strength of the failing sensors magnets. Ability to problem solve is important. Ended up building a coil to recharge magnets back to specification to match a new magnet used for reference. The hands on in college is probably not a class you would find listed. Can you use Audacity to help find the instability in your robotic servo for pick and place to troubleshoot the LPF?
@Joshua Craft II watch, practice what I learned, and compare to physics and math I self study. Psudo Science stands out when it breaks the physics of reality.
@Peter Nguyen it all depends. Can't speak for all viewers, but if that's the case many ppl are learning indeed. I'm sure u know what a tutorial is, it turns out YT has tons of those videos, you'd have to assume most observers of tutorials on YT never apply what they learn from the video(s). I wouldn't bet on that assumption.
@@isettech why do you ask? Does lacking that knowledge actually cut against their original statment, or are you leaping at the opportunity to say what you've learned which none of us asked you for? Is there greater context I'm missing or are you actually questioning someone as if they claimed to be in your field of work for no good reason?, seems odd.
@Peter Nguyen no doubt about that. Research should go beyond the scope of using just one website. As long as you're not saying ppl can't learn from YT I think we are in agreement. I never said YT was better than college, but claims like "impossible" and "professional level" seem a bit extreme. What is a "professional level of practice"? You don't get that in college either unless you apply what you've learned. If ur arguing YT doesn't train doctors etc. I get that, YT isn't shipping body parts and equipment etc. for students to practice on nor does it have an expert correcting mistakes. It also depends on the field you're learning in, you can easily check for your own mistakes via a check list, especially if the YT provides that check list. I think we are in agreement, I just interpreted the comment as though you can't learn from YT and responded accordingly.
I've been in tech internships back in high school and racked up alot of certifications (which cost me $0) but when i went to college, i learned jacked poop. Prefer learning online on the internet for certifications or courses... wayyy more helpful to be honest.Overheard that universities at least cost 8k per semester. May not go there. Online courses, trades, business (etfs,stocks,mutual funds, dividends, etc.)or self taught is the way to go. Everyone with college degrees will be brought upon debt unless you know finances / business then you good.
that and race studies/africana studies are the worst, they needed to invent degrees that these dumber people could make it through. Right now most of these universities act as a indoctrination area for progressive ideas.
Women's Studies teach college women to hate men and blame men for their bad life choices instead of making them accountable. Who is going to marry a woman who took women's studies? Only a fool.
There is many wrong information on the internet, including RUclips. It is pleasant, but not always accurate. I spent 2years to find good answers from the internet. A specialist would have given them to me in about an hour...
Sadly Hulk the schools need to provide a general background for every potential career. Historians don't need science and vica versa. Universities are important - as you see with the pandemic. Cut them away and you get consumer driven education and no innovation.

@@omegamalerevelations7543 The answers have to be provided by someone. Looking up answers can be left to automationn like Siri. Answering a question takes research and cannot be automated. Those doing work do not need to be educated, they need to be obedient. Those who have to answer questions need to be educated. On another matter. While Google does do research, can they match the University system? Harvard, Yale, Boston University and so many more conduct research and are given billions each year. In addition what Google calls research I call customization. The University system produces the foundational research Google builds on. Google itself came out of University research. A university is not a karate sensi. It's a place to study not to be trained to be a worker.
BOUT FUCKING TIME! College is just a place of either brainwashed people who don’t know better or extremely passionate people who wants the genuinely learn their craft and do it as a profession (eg. Doctors, Dentist, psychologist, nutritionist, etc etc.)
I learned a lot in school. Especially about critical thinking. I’m blessed. I’m thankful for my education. And I’m thankful to my parents for teaching me to be a life long learner.
Yes but there is no proof you learned that, its not accredited and employers arent gonna take chance to give you $60k/year to prove yourself, unless they are gonna pay you $36k and train you, then 5 years later you have the experience in that field to get that $60k job, but your resume will be full of junk jobs
@@bradmorgan60 Everyone is trying to get out of the rat race, but you gotta have money coming in to be financing your side-business, which means you need a job. Having a degree would give you more options to choose from and higher pay on average. I will say if you just want to tick the box of having a bachelors, you can enroll into an online accelerated, accredited college like WGU which is $3500 for 6 months and can get your bachelors in 1 year if your fast and have the freetime. Its a fully accredited degree and cheap. Its competency based, they give you all the learning material up front and you can do it as fast as you want, get that degree and check the box. Look at reviews many people are doing esspecially since COVID
I said the same thing to friends and family, you are paying for an outdated education and by the time you get out of school, your are trying to pay off years of debt for a useless piece of paper/degree that has already depreciated in value. People called me nuts, but I was right. I self taught myself how to fix computers and how to market my skills. Then I started a business and started making money for myself. I went to college for my Associate's and Bachelor's and the stuff I learned wasn't from school, it was from the internet (aka my Professor). I can remember myself correcting technology Professors at college about the work they were teaching us because it was outdated. Their was always, "this is what is in the book" or some would tell me I was wrong and they never heard about what I was telling them so it can't be true.
When I was in College, i had similar situations like you and still have out of it with people that didn't understand or don't want to understand and some call you crazy, because you have a broader view of things and think differently and out of the box.
NASIRUB1 ...your comments are sad to hear but quite believable. It must be a very tough job being a professor today trying to keep up to date with all the information and new knowledge. A good professor should suck it up and admit they are not up to date and learn something. I would have much respect for that response from a professor I just corrected.
@@svaj1000 Yes, lots of jobs want degrees, but there are lots of jobs that don't, and there are ways of making a name for yourself without wasting 4 years of your life, and hundreds of thousands of dollars, only to be in student loan debt years after you're done, it's literally a black hole, literally, if you can get a degree program, that offers you your degree in half the time, and is much cheaper, take it, if not, then leave it where you found it, it's not worth it, it's like I told you on the other post, do A+, I provided a link that you need to check out, after you recieve your A+, you will be at a much better position in life, that certificate is a highly advanced certificate, that will land you a job faster, go for that instead, and while you're working, you can do an affordable degree and in less time.
You'll still need a degree for medicine, nursing, civil engineering, biotech research and a few others. So basically core science related fields will need a formal degree for the foreseeable future. But software? No.
@Krishna Dwarampudi NO one is going to hire a self proclaimed person who said they learned how to do surgery online you fool. Grow a brain, science isn't taught online, science is how to overcome new and diverse challenges with reason and logic. Aka why your not a scientist.
for now...but with augmented and virtual reality on the rise, as well as citizen science, maker spaces, and community labs...the days of big lumbering universities are numbered.
The point is that every organization can take control of how their potential employees learn the necessary skills needed for the job. This is NOT tech exclusive, it's just more practical in tech industry FOR NOW!
You need a 4 year degree to be a engineer, medical doctor, scientist(this includes computer science), a brokerage license, teacher, professor, NP, registered nurse, law, etc. You learn science and advanced math in computer science, so you can become a better problem solver. Computer Science is not the same thing as a programmer, they can create a operating system, create artificial intelligence, apply advanced mathematics in programming. This man is ignorant.
keecefly agree, but the fundamentals and theory can mostly be learnt. Any IT pro worth their weight is able to gauge their blind spots and study accordingly... I half agree with ya 😅
@keecefly tuition skyrocketed as the government subsidized and guaranteed loans... If it was left to the markets, they would be more affordable plus the lender and borrower would have skin in the game which leads to better outcomes all around.

Depends on what you want. If you want to become a doctor, engineer, lawyer, or other things you have to go to college. Also if you have a full scholarship then it might be worth it.
@@Real_Lion_Slayer same lol, I'm a junior on a full ride. It's a tough degree and the field is starting to get saturated.

I would add that medical is a solid choice as well, its always in search of people.
Exactly you can’t say don’t go to college as a general statement it’s more what you want to do, some software engineering fields require a masters like machine learning you can not be a self taught programmer and get these jobs even if you work at the company and are proven you require theoretical knowledge and mathematics to even approach some of these subjects. Can that person take some code offline and say here this works sure but why does it work.
I've discussed the fall of college and universities with friends. Honestly trade schools are so much more efficient and they don't leave you with a massive amount of debt. Now that companies are taking the task upon themselves to teach, they essentially have the combined knowledge of a university and the speedy resourcefulness of a trade school. Best of both worlds.
Trade/tech schools used to be the standard 40 years ago when only 20% of the workforce had college degrees. BTW. Back then a 2year degree was common. Not anymore.
Real estate- no college - $250,000 a year Insurance - no college- $150,00 a year Tax preparer- no college - $250,000 a year. This is just the beginning. Start your own business today.
But companies aren't doing this. Because they don't have to. There's an ocean of college grads--including self taught people--competing for every available job.

I'm an American that is in my early 20's. When it was time for me to go to college I said fuck that. Mainly becuase I was only 18 and definitely did NOT know what i wanted to do for my career but knew I did not want to go 40K in debt. Instead I went to Mexico to learn Spanish and then went to Asia for a 3 month journey. It was a pretty good investment considering the experiences I had and the things I saw but I was able to do it cheap by teaching English and offering work abroad in exchange for boarding. Now I have a great job (2 years later) as a bilingual tech support at a really cool software company making better money than a lot of friends of mine that have been to college that are stuck working in a grocery store. I have never been to a day of college in my life. Don't let everyone else make decisions for you in your life.
I'm impressed. Alot smarter than I was at your age. Did you live in Mexico City? Would you say that the only way to learn a language, quickly as well as thoroughly, is complete immersion?
I waited until age 21 to start college and I'm glad I did. I found a way to get my bachelor's degree online without any student loans, in a field i am interested in.
Everything that I learned that is worth knowing, I learned from the Internet. I got a degree and a masters, but only because jobs want me to have it. I didn't learn any useful skill at college.

Even mathematics aren't worth going to university anymore. If you're a math-head you can naturally learn and self teach yourself math with RUclips, a mentor, and friends/associates you can teach each other and bounce ideas with. Ben Franklin didn't go to no fucking school. He just started a club with fellow nerds and went to the library. Only things which can endanger someone's life like doctor, engineer, architect, or chemist is worth going to school for. College is CERTIFICATION not education.
Re: "STEM programs are the only programs worth going to University for anymore." Mechanical Engineering graduate here. The Mechanical Engineering profession is in some ways like the Hollywood acting profession. In Hollywood, there are washed-up actors who can no longer get any acting roles. Perhaps because of 1 bad project. The same is true for the Mechanical Engineering profession. There are washed-up mechanical engineers who can no longer work in the field because of a bad work record. I should know, I am one of them. Every company that wants a mechanical engineer always wants one with recent experience, and heavy experience in what their company does. 5-10 years. Don't think that a degree is valuable just because it is a STEM degree. A STEM degree can be every bit as worthless as one in Philosophy.
@David Lockett They wont be immune to the impact of A.I. I'm sure certain specific processes can be automated. But each individual field in its entirety is by far to complex to be automated as a whole. There will have to be a human reviewing the work at some point.
Even the fields you mentioned are problematic. Ok, say you're the CEO of a company or head of a hospital, you personally, would you rather train an 18 year old, have them shadow someone or you, who is a veteran in the field for 3 years and slowly let them handle their own projects/clients and pay them £200 pw. Or Hire a fresh uni graduate that still requires training, because all the theory they learned is dated way back to 1950s or whenever the book published, but you have to pay them £1000+pw?

College costs skyrocketed right after the government got into the student loan business. The Liberal professors jacked up their salaries and benefits and the colleges started raising room and board. The kids were ignorant of loan costs and the impact of lifetime payback schedules. Add to this the train wreck in useless degrees like "Transgender African Studies" and you have a disaster that was almost engineered. I remember when I was in college, the Deans had all been employed in senior positions in their fields. Today, I bet 95% of the professors have never worked outside of academia. The whole system has rendered college useless. Sad news for kids graduating next year with huge debt. The "edjumication" system hosed them bigtime.
I recently retired a HS Counselor. I cringe when colleges charge over $50-$70k a year. I made it a point to tell my students about Community 2 year Colleges which did the same for 1/10th the price.

Sorry, but those of us who have higher education always think in those terms. When you have a Master's degree, you look at society as educated vs. uneducated. The bias is real, but it's not unfounded. I have much more in common with people who have formal education. No degree = no pedigree.
But then what do you do? If you can get to a middle class or higher position without a college degree that's great. If you're flipping burgers while talking about how smart you are, you may want to reconsider things.

Society will eventually do away with that style of learning. Probably sooner rather than later. The point you made about needing all of this PLUS a college degree as a "side project" doesn't make sense. "Here kid, learn everything you need to know to get qualified for the job via online learning & similar resources but also...spend four or more years of additional wasted time learning what you already know or what you could learn in half the time and at almost no cost".

As a teacher, I can say that this is really so. By the time it'll take for the curriculum to be revised, then course module outlines to be adjusted, new texts to be identified to support the course content, teachers to be called to seminars to be briefed on the new development, the industry will have already made shifts. Not to mention the time period for the revised course to be assessed by the school/college's governing and accreditation bodies. These things literally take years!! (At least in my country). As a businesswoman though, I set up systems for training and empowering my staff on the specifics of their jobs and in professional and personal development. I also get specialists to train them in areas where my knowledge/understanding is limited, like how to identify industry trends, opportunities and threats, etc. Patrick, great content!
Kimber Waul What kids need these days are seminars, workshops, and short online courses. That’s all they need to get their head right and their feet wet. A degree used to be the recognized factor to represent hard work, discipline, and gained knowledge. With current work atmosphere and the continuous trends of economics and technology, kids need knowledge and experience quickly. Even those who are not in the computer or technology sector can benefit from this type of education. Psychologists, doctors, and professional services can still gain immense benefit by utilizing these types of educational formats.
@@taoist32 Yes, I agree. I tell my students that if you want to specialize in certain areas, like medicine, law, teaching, accounting, engineering, etc., then college is for you. Otherwise, you may do professional courses and try to start internships (especially paid ones), as soon as possible, until you can actually PAY for college (if you desire a degree that badly). I also tell them to completely immerse themselves into the experience, become lifelong learners and also work towards owning business(es) of their own. Some children, parents and school administrators think that I am strange and wrong for saying this. Many of them equate 'education' to 'schooling' and that's where the problem lies.
@@KimberWaul Teachers no longer need a degree nor do accountants. These have been made redundant at least here in Western Europe. Flight attendants also used to need a proper career training for their field, now it's all being taken care of by educators at airlines.
@@sami-9233 In my country and in most, if not all, of the countries that I know, teachers who intend to teach within the mainstream school system need a degree. If one intends to open a school in my country and most of those that I know, s/he would need some kind of degree and/or license to start a school. Also, in my country and in others, one needs to be licensed and certified to become an accountant. That's why I advise my students the way in which I do.
@@sami-9233 I am a teacher and in my country, teachers need at least a college degree since methods of teaching, educational statistics, lesson planning, and other education courses are needed. We also need to pass a licensure exam for teachers. Then we are encouraged to get our master's and attend several seminars in a year.
They dont teach you about it (such as what it is, subsidized, unsubsidized, personal, etc), they teach you how to get it. How to pay it off, budget, or anything related to living a life to pay off your loans??? You're on your own buddy.
@Thiago Oliveira it's not my fault people pick useless degrees and they are in debt...no one told you to figure your life out in college that's why you understand your goals first then aim towards a degree that will benefit you.
There are regulations for doctors so a youtube doc isn't realistic...and if you heard the companies he is referring to, they are all tech companies.....so obviously engineering and medical degrees are much needed but the vast majority are not....college is 2 yours of bullshit...i mean prereqs ......and 2 years of youtube videos and TED talks ....i mean core courses.....its all nonsense.....and this is coming from a person with a Master's.....i graduated with $230k in debt....and almost 20 years later....i can honestly say...that it was not worth it!!!! save your money
@@tintedeyez I get what your saying but going to college is a choice and the reason that these youtubers and tech giants wants to cancel college is to pay their workers less...yes I hear you that you came out with 230k of debt but why didn't you choose a cheaper school to attend to...why you didn't work to pay for your classes so you won't go into debt or waited until you were independent so they could provide more benefits for you to attend school...I sympathize with you but you put yourself into that situation...I got a computer science degree got into 16k in debt and I only have 4k to pay off plus old joe is canceling 10k of student loan debt...schools should not be cancel at all but students should be educated before they sign that financial aid agreement....and even if you cancel school and you have to earn certificates to apply for a tech job it doesn't mean your getting that job there will be more competition because certificates are easier to get...think of the consequences before you jump on the bandwagon and do research.
Jon L thank you. Thank you for letting me not be the only person to realize this. He claims that we no longer need to know as much yet just proved that voice recognition fails many times.
Rap Official Videos No problem man! Of course, he does long on-take style videos, so it’s hard to restart in the middle, but if he’d been thinking about the numbers at all, it takes just a basic understanding of numbers to realize that something in the 10,000s divided by 13(about 10) would have to be at least around the thousands range.
Jon L yeah technology is not perfect yet I think his point was that we no longer need to worry so much on remembering when we have technology but I think it's important to still be educated at least a little otherwise your sound dumb asf and we have to keep in mind we are no where near perfect technology I can't ask that question if my phone freezes or my computer dies my Alex or Google home can't recognize my.voice
That's the only way to go, a few thousand dollars and 6mos ur making tons. My buddy got sick of bussing tables, he took an electrical trade, he has now been working on those extremely tall towers for years, I can only imagine what he makes. He doesn't worry about making the car payment
College degrees have been dead for a long time. The entire IT infrastructure industry doesn’t use college. You can get a 6 figure job without paying a dime.
Krane I did it and now I’m a manager hiring more people w/o degrees. The only reason they exist is because some industries are full of bureaucracy and have outdated policies requiring them.
@@krane15 Even though they won't go away, we have more options to get a good career without a degree than 40-50 years ago. You can actually pay a few thousand for a boot camp to study programming. That's one example, could be many more.
@@dougtaylor26 There are always exceptions. But your exception is NOT the rule. The vast majority of people still need degrees to advance or even enter many industries. Like it or not that is our system and its not going away anytime soon.
@@kevindao1103 Of course there are, and that has always been the case. But there are also jobs and industries that won't even look at your without a degree. It depends on what type of job you're looking for. You want to become a doctor? You need a degree. And no amount of boot camp study can get around that.
Exactly. When I was in school I thought? Wait I need to learn what I need to learn to be successful at this field? These universities are not teaching me anything! I work in IT (Helpdesk / Desktop Support) None of my "Computer Science" courses taught the following: Logical troubleshooting Ticket creation and closing Ticket documentation Customer Service Dealing with difficult customers Dealing with difficult team members Time management and project prioritization
@@spellcasterneo Worse, you have to first pay for the degree (a lot of people go into debt), then you often have to pay for the practical skills (bootcamps...), then you have to pay for the certifications... It's a giant money-making scheme. Most smart kids graduating from high school are well equipped to learn what they need to be successful on the job--and to keep learning. If companies offered on-the-job training, there'd be no supposed "skills gap."
I spent my 4 years in college getting a lot of now useless info. BUT, I also spent a lot of that time learning Physics and more advanced math. I graduated in 1962, My optional studies ( history, arts, Psych, et.al) are now available as RUclips videos, but my science studies are still valuable. In the subsequent 40 years, I morphed from a physics student into an aerospace systems engineer. After graduating, I had several job offers. One from Brookhaven National Lab(working on a liquid sodium Cooling system, for a nuclear reactor;One from Grumman Aerospace Corp Working on the flight testing of the A-6 Intruder's bombing system, One from Riverhead School System as Head of the Math Dept. I wasn't even trained to teach Math, but I had learned how to use it. I joined /Grumman, and had the most rewarding and fun job I could ever have imagined.I'm now retired, and still Am active in the sciences. I'm now doing climate research. More fun, but challenging and useful work. Colleges still are behind what's needed. Too much B.S. and political correctness to deal with. We have dumbed down Nearly All colleges/universities to feel good enterprises and The degrees only useful for job contacts. We ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESSES UNTIL WE GET IT RIGHT, AGAIN!
Carl Carter, you didn't fake it to make it and you did well. The slots that pay are occupied by experienced retirees, that will be the doomed scenario.
To be fair, I still see value in a degree like mathematics. The quantitative skills are useful in finance, teaching, and the tech sector (although it may need to be augmented with other skills). But a large part of many degrees is paraphrasing and citing papers by Smith, J. et al. (2017). There is nearly no value in this outside of research/academia.
I feel that if it's not directly related to the skill I'm trying to learn, I shouldn't have to earn the credit. Why do I need to take a history class to become a car mechanic? Maybe a science class about rust and corrosion and electricity as it relates to car engines. But a Humanities course? Why?
When I was 5 years old, I couldn't wait to go to school. I got the new clothes, Lunch box, shows, - the works - I thought this was going to be great. I got on the bus and off I went. After 4 hours I came home from my first day of half day kindergarten. My Dad asked me how was my first day? I threw my lunch box across the living room and said:"I'm not going back". I was the first person iI knew who hated school. I hated it so bad, I graduated early just to get out. I asked my guidance counsel why General Motors or Paramount Pictures didn't have a college? She said because their business is business, not education. I'm happy that one day these Freakin Hippy Liberal College Campuses will one day go the way of the dinosaur.
that’s why i’m not getting a masters like all my friends. no need to get one when i don’t plan to stay in the same 9-5 for years. this is the best and maybe the only timeframe to get rich.
@@AC-ri2ph when you want to do something for years do you really expect your mild master will give u anything compared to the reallife experience? Except its Rusty mindset xD
I couldn't agree more. I can't wait until these Universities and their hippie professors are gone. School was a huge stress for our family because we don't think and learn the way their tiny little boxed world thinks we should. Good bye Universities 👋don't let the door hit you on the way out. 👍
Why don’t General Motors or Paramount have colleges? Now that’s a very good question! I’ll raise you one….it’s 2022 and I’m asking why isn’t LinkedIn Learning an accredited college?
@Teringventje I'm majoring in computer science and could share with you software engineering isn't definite as a job for hire since they're already creating algorithms and apps like a WordPress website most persons are making today or domains like GoDaddy to build your websites.

They will never get it. I ve been following the channel for a long time and you put great content with lots of enthusiasm. Thank you.
I think this video is good up to a certain point. There are very specialized professions where a college degree is extremely important and probably the most efficient way of training the skills. Outside of these professions, I think there is a bigger demand for “generalists” in the labor market.
Big surprise for you. Surgeons and anesthesiologists learn their jobs during an extensive residency. Basically, they learn on the job. A four year degree in anatomy and physiology would more than enough to preparation to be a surgeon.
@@peanuthead7359 Someone else on here said it best. While there still needs to be medical schools and schools of engineering, apprenticeships and tradeschools can take up much of the slack. Look at Germany 🇩🇪.
You dont go to school to memorize facts. You go there to train your brain, prove that you can learn and are able to focus, organize your thoughts and express them coherently and clearly. To prove you can handle a project assignement. But memorizing things is also important because then you can work alot more efficiently. Your thought process is only based on knowledge not what you can find from Siri. Academical degrees are there for a very big reason.
Unfortunately, the university (generally speaking) has lost sight of this and has focused on the vocational side of education because that is where the money is. There is tremendous value in learning history, philosophy, languages and all the other elements of what used to be considered a liberal education. That sort of education has great value but it also does not demand a massive campus and $50,000 a year tuition, huge endowments and masses of administrators - Plato and Aristotle worked by themselves. Today's academics need to start focusing on the fundamentals that you reference and stop selling their degrees on the basis of how good a job you're going to get. Unfortunately, that would also mean cutting the price.
@@VeryProPlayerYesSir1122 you just proved her point. You don't have the ability to read simple english and understand. Or your memory is so poor you couldn't repeat what she said correctly 20 seconds later.
I disagree. Training your brain, proving that you can learn and are able to focus, organizing your thoughts and expressing them coherently and clearly as well as training your memory should be done much earlier, at ages 10-18. By the age of 18 or 19, it is probably already too late to teach these. Academical degrees as we know them today, were simple constructs of third industrial revolution. And they worked fairly well for nearly two centuries. Today however, they are completely obsolete. Now, obviously, for certain professions you need proof of ability before being allowed to partake in, such an example is medical profession. However, if you carefully think about it, achieving this does not necessarily mandate the existence of an academical degree as an institution, does it? We still use them, as they are an adequate and proven 19th and 20th century model. 21st century already has and certainly will continue to yield new methods of learning, new methods of measuring one's knowledge and abilities. Some of the technologies that come to mind that will disrupt higher education (and may I add much sooner then everybody is thinking) are AR with haptic feedback + AI teachers and teaching assistants.
There is a difference between craft and profession. You can learn to drive a civilian aircraft in most climatic conditions within two weeks, But you will not get a civil aviation license until to study math, physics, quality, safety, etc, you need at least two years. This applies to programming, accounting, cooking and construction..etc. There are online academies, by the way
I'm dropping out after the semester. College is mostly to get recognition by corporations but corporations are downsizing, outsourcing, offshoring, automating, etc. The gig economy is growing rapidly. The community college I'm at offers an Entrepreneurship certificate. I scoff at it because anyone who is good at entrepreneurship wouldn't be a teacher. That would be the bane of their existence...
One super skilled teacher that can stream his lectures to millions of people is better than average teachers all over the country doing average lectures.
I graduated in 1992 with a degree in computer science and upon entering the work force, I realized university was pretty much a lesson in history. I can't imagine what it's like today. A lot of the delay is the curriculum is outdated by the time it gets approved to be a curriculum.
@Brock Lesnar Alpha Male that's not what I saw when I went to a career fair a couple years ago at UF. SpaceX wouldnt even look at engineers and STEM majors if you didn't have at least a 3.9 GPA
Look up any trade school. I have a degree and went through an apprenticeship. I'm making more money through the apprenticeship than with my BA degree in business management
I showed this to my daughter over 12 months ago when the company she was working for wanted her to consider doing a business degree to further her position in the company, in the last year she has progressed through the management level beyond the point of the person who raised the issue initially not because she did any degree but because she knew the business and outperformed others inline with the company's core business practices, values and employee and customer feedback
I still remember went to a tech college in UK in 1993 to learn about computers and the teachers were out of date then, they could barely catch up with what the Pentium could do. I don't even want to begin how it is much worse today and in the near future.
I big brother dropped out in 9th grade and started working under a diesel mechanic, he worked there for a few years and eventually went to work as a diesel mechanic in the oil fields in midland/Odessa and he now makes 120k+ a year He’s been taking pilot lessons to better himself but the moral of the story is that you really don’t need a degree or diploma to make good money
The problem with West Texas is that it's boom or bust. Right now it's BUST. Plus, who wants to live out in the middle of nowhere? Diesel mechanics make more money because there are less of them. Hopefully he learned how to repair the new clean diesels that VW, Audi are producing. That is the future if we stay on fossil fuels.
@@DIVISIONINCISION Well VW & Audi were hit w/ mega colossal fines after cheating for YEARS w/there so called clean diesels.

It cost nearly $100 thousand on a BA just to find out your average and 2 years after graduating no one is going to hire you in whatever field you studied even if you worked internships which many people don't.
"CS degree obsolete in 3 years" tells a lot about you. Especially that you have no idea what Computer Science is. Hint: no, it's not bodging web pages in yet another hip framework.
the only thing my computer science degree help me with was getting my first job. Once I started my career I never used what I learned in college. Ever. My company sent me to technical classes and training seminars for the knowledge I needed to do my job. They could have just as well hired any high school graduate who knew how to code reasonably well.
@@dirremoire Depends what you are doing. CS gives you fundamentals you can build upon. If you are talking about programming then it could be done by trained high/secondary schooler.
@@vaclavblazek Well, I guess it depends on what are considered the fundamentals. Data structures, algorithm design, i/o control, portability. ALL these are considered fundamentals yet each and everyone can be self-taught or learned in high school. Can you think of a fundamental that can't be acquired by a motivated high school kid who loves coding?
@@dirremoire I think you’re ignoring the part that survivorship bias plays in your story. You graduated with a CS degree, many others who attempted didn’t. You were able to self teach yourself tools at work, many other people who attempted weren’t able to. Also, where did you actually learn to code? In your data structures and algorithms class, or did you learn through google and self teaching? At least for my degree, I wasn’t being taught commands, just concepts - the ability to self teach myself new languages was the practice I got doing the problem sets. Also, algorithms is fundamentally a problem solving class, I’ve never had to program my own algorithm from scratch, but I do still refer to what I learned from Algo & data structures to know what library to pull up to solve my problem at hand. I definitely don’t think a cs degree will be obsolete. All the people programming siri and alexa that this guy claims will make cs obsolete is being created by CS PhD’s. That requires more than googling how to code. Remember 20-80 rule, for every 20% of people make it, 80% of people don’t. Why doesn’t everyone just go on your company trip to learn the tools you learned and replaced you? It’s probably because your education gave you skills that others don’t possess. College isn’t there to teach content, it teaches you how to learn.... and possibly teach machines.
When I worked in IT we had a software architect who was probably the smartest person I ever knew. He could foresee where every project could possibly go and built his framework to match the future. That could not possibly have been something he was taught, it was something his vision showed him. Lesser people ended up working for video game developers - a fate worse than death.
Stop Procrastinating And now they pump propaganda out and silence anything critical of the major powers narratives. It's the biggest tool for learning and is under attack more so everyday!

Stem degrees are still extremely important. You wouldn’t want someone who is self taught being a engineer. It’s better for a engineer to have multiple perspectives and be certified

@@AxemanMessiah Child's play. Humans are inclined to learn, but we all unequally capable of doing so. Simply put, autodidacts all display levels of genius. But not all geniuses are autodidacts. Without the fundamentals, you lose more then you would gain. Because the people that are self taught, are already doing it. Only look at human history to find them. Whenever humans have decided that they "knew" better, that they have figured out some ultimate truth, and forsaken the knowledge of the past, it has only ended in tragedy. The annihilation of paganism resulted in the destruction of the library of Alexandria, which had nearly all the known knowledge of that time in the region. Knowledge that would take over 1000 years to be rediscovered in the Islamic golden age. Or look at the cultural revolution of China, killed 20 million people trying to leave the knowledge of the past behind. WWII: blame Jews, Cambodian genocide: blame the educated.

@@namenotfound8747 Not sure if you got the message, I am saying virtualized learning can replace occupations that do not require licensure with the modern tools we have, so it is not "self-taught" but a school.

I do oppose when people start saying we should start gutting elements out that they don't like because of convenience. I don't care if my phone knows the answer to a math question before I do, the moment society says that we don't need to learn the fundamentals of education because we have modern tools, so lets just go straight to what we "want", we lose sight of what we "need" to keep progressing forward. That kind of flawed thinking comes from people that don't know or want to know history at a deep level, and don't respect the laws of physics. New technology doesn't automatically trump or replace the old. A computer does make it easier to communicate, but if tomorrow some jackass says since we have computers, we shouldn't worry about learning to write. What's next? Let's not learn how to read? Because we have computers that do it better then we do. licensures and accreditation is there to stop stupidity, do institutions stray from there core objective, yes.

This after I was tested at 97% on skilled trades testing after being a machinist for several years. The system of apprenticeships is severely broken and I have long abandoned any hope of pursuing this!

@asmard tech where is pyramid schemes coming from ???
@asmard tech 😕
@Mike There are thousands of companies that offer in-house training and online courses in art, programming, online marketing e.t.c at a fraction of the cost that universities charge. There is nothing unethical about that. I fail to see his point.
@Mike What is it and what does it have to with training provided by private companies that are not in academia? Do note that when I mean training, I mean online courses or books that you can buy. Seminars or webinars are not training. Those are marketing ploys to indoctrinate new people into a product or service.
@@myxsys Is your degree in STEM?
RUclips is school these days. I've learned a lot watching different videos.
Very important is to put what you lean to use. For example, have you bought a Cisco network switch to program one? Have you bought any DC Servo amplifiers to program the PID loop? Do you know the difference in incremental encoders line vs transitions, vs analog out and interpolation? Quiz, DC servo motor, with an incremental encoder of 500 lines per rotation, with analog out, connected to a 20X interpolation decoder. What is the resolution of the motor position per transition? Can you tune the PID loop for this motor, encoder, and the mass on the motor? Have you leaned how to change a BGA part? Do you own an oscilloscope? Do you own a function generator? Have you used them together to find the impedance of a microphone cable? Have you designed a PCB? Have you debugged your board when it didn't work as planned? Can you properly implement an RS-485 line to a data recorder? Do you know what DATAQ makes? Do you own one?
Do you know the difference between a voltage amplifier and transconductance amplifier used in servos?
In DC motors, do you know the relation between Speed, Power, Torque, to Voltage, Current, and power? Do you know what a coreless motor is? Can you program a VFD as a closed loop servo?
You do not need a degree to learn all of the above. Showing your potential employer how you implement those skills is important. Last interview I was quizzed about DMM use. let them know I had a DSO, microwave tracking counter, and 3 DMMs, I was hired. Get some test equipment and know how to use it. Buy equipment and learn how to set it up. User manuals are fantastic.
Creativity is important. Needed to test some magnets used with Hall sensors. Instead of buying an expensive magnetic field instrument, simply bought some very inexpensive analog hall sensors and used a new magnet for reference, and then graphed the relative strength of the failing sensors magnets. Ability to problem solve is important. Ended up building a coil to recharge magnets back to specification to match a new magnet used for reference. The hands on in college is probably not a class you would find listed.
Can you use Audacity to help find the instability in your robotic servo for pick and place to troubleshoot the LPF?
@Joshua Craft II watch, practice what I learned, and compare to physics and math I self study. Psudo Science stands out when it breaks the physics of reality.
@Peter Nguyen it all depends. Can't speak for all viewers, but if that's the case many ppl are learning indeed. I'm sure u know what a tutorial is, it turns out YT has tons of those videos, you'd have to assume most observers of tutorials on YT never apply what they learn from the video(s). I wouldn't bet on that assumption.
@@isettech why do you ask? Does lacking that knowledge actually cut against their original statment, or are you leaping at the opportunity to say what you've learned which none of us asked you for? Is there greater context I'm missing or are you actually questioning someone as if they claimed to be in your field of work for no good reason?, seems odd.
@Peter Nguyen no doubt about that. Research should go beyond the scope of using just one website. As long as you're not saying ppl can't learn from YT I think we are in agreement. I never said YT was better than college, but claims like "impossible" and "professional level" seem a bit extreme. What is a "professional level of practice"? You don't get that in college either unless you apply what you've learned. If ur arguing YT doesn't train doctors etc. I get that, YT isn't shipping body parts and equipment etc. for students to practice on nor does it have an expert correcting mistakes. It also depends on the field you're learning in, you can easily check for your own mistakes via a check list, especially if the YT provides that check list. I think we are in agreement, I just interpreted the comment as though you can't learn from YT and responded accordingly.
Hence we shouldn't confuse education with schooling. University = schooling ( outdated) + debt. Education = awareness + fortune
Absolutely. And the best way to learn is through self development books, business books, management and leadership books, etc.

I also love that some applications ask you to write your thoughts on a problem. It’s a better indicator of what you know (ie writing skills, problem solving etc.)

@@elemerkis6387 You can, you just won't get certified. The state government's could easily make it so you could learn on your own online for pre-med and if you pass the test, move on to pay for med school where you handle everything hands on. This will cease the 4 years wasted in college and lower the price of taking up a medical degree; but colleges don't want this so they can profit more.

Better read about the order of life and avoid the school of hard knocks! I was a hard head and did the hard knocks first. Read and study the book of wisdom. It is valid In every nation in every culture because it is truth. It was written by a king unto his son. So you know it has to be the very best advise. It is also written for you! It also speaks on principals for gaining wealth. As well as how to use it an to not abuse it. Tis called the book of proverbs. It is packed with relevant and useful practical and impractical information that if applied will achieve the results! Because it is truth and no lie!
Zero exactly.
Once these companies start training their own employees out of high school we can say goodbye the mythical 6-figure starting salary in tech.
This is a good point. Not to mention "Non-solicitation clauses" in hiring contracts are about to be Cray cray
As a teacher, I can say that this is really so. By the time it'll take for the curriculum to be revised, then course module outlines to be adjusted, new texts to be identified to support the course content, teachers to be called to seminars to be briefed on the new development, the industry will have already made shifts. Not to mention the time period for the revised course to be assessed by the school/college's governing and accreditation bodies. These things literally take years!! (At least in my country).
As a businesswoman though, I set up systems for training and empowering my staff on the specifics of their jobs and in professional and personal development. I also get specialists to train them in areas where my knowledge/understanding is limited, like how to identify industry trends, opportunities and threats, etc. Patrick, great content!
Kimber Waul What kids need these days are seminars, workshops, and short online courses. That’s all they need to get their head right and their feet wet. A degree used to be the recognized factor to represent hard work, discipline, and gained knowledge. With current work atmosphere and the continuous trends of economics and technology, kids need knowledge and experience quickly. Even those who are not in the computer or technology sector can benefit from this type of education. Psychologists, doctors, and professional services can still gain immense benefit by utilizing these types of educational formats.
@@taoist32 Yes, I agree. I tell my students that if you want to specialize in certain areas, like medicine, law, teaching, accounting, engineering, etc., then college is for you. Otherwise, you may do professional courses and try to start internships (especially paid ones), as soon as possible, until you can actually PAY for college (if you desire a degree that badly). I also tell them to completely immerse themselves into the experience, become lifelong learners and also work towards owning business(es) of their own. Some children, parents and school administrators think that I am strange and wrong for saying this. Many of them equate 'education' to 'schooling' and that's where the problem lies.
@@KimberWaul Teachers no longer need a degree nor do accountants. These have been made redundant at least here in Western Europe. Flight attendants also used to need a proper career training for their field, now it's all being taken care of by educators at airlines.
@@sami-9233 In my country and in most, if not all, of the countries that I know, teachers who intend to teach within the mainstream school system need a degree. If one intends to open a school in my country and most of those that I know, s/he would need some kind of degree and/or license to start a school. Also, in my country and in others, one needs to be licensed and certified to become an accountant. That's why I advise my students the way in which I do.
@@sami-9233 I am a teacher and in my country, teachers need at least a college degree since methods of teaching, educational statistics, lesson planning, and other education courses are needed. We also need to pass a licensure exam for teachers. Then we are encouraged to get our master's and attend several seminars in a year.

Oh you poor, poor victim.
They dont teach you about it (such as what it is, subsidized, unsubsidized, personal, etc), they teach you how to get it. How to pay it off, budget, or anything related to living a life to pay off your loans??? You're on your own buddy.

There are regulations for doctors so a youtube doc isn't realistic...and if you heard the companies he is referring to, they are all tech companies.....so obviously engineering and medical degrees are much needed but the vast majority are not....college is 2 yours of bullshit...i mean prereqs ......and 2 years of youtube videos and TED talks ....i mean core courses.....its all nonsense.....and this is coming from a person with a Master's.....i graduated with $230k in debt....and almost 20 years later....i can honestly say...that it was not worth it!!!! save your money
@@tintedeyez I get what your saying but going to college is a choice and the reason that these youtubers and tech giants wants to cancel college is to pay their workers less...yes I hear you that you came out with 230k of debt but why didn't you choose a cheaper school to attend to...why you didn't work to pay for your classes so you won't go into debt or waited until you were independent so they could provide more benefits for you to attend school...I sympathize with you but you put yourself into that situation...I got a computer science degree got into 16k in debt and I only have 4k to pay off plus old joe is canceling 10k of student loan debt...schools should not be cancel at all but students should be educated before they sign that financial aid agreement....and even if you cancel school and you have to earn certificates to apply for a tech job it doesn't mean your getting that job there will be more competition because certificates are easier to get...think of the consequences before you jump on the bandwagon and do research.

I spent my 4 years in college getting a lot of now useless info. BUT, I also spent a lot of that time learning Physics and more advanced math. I graduated in 1962, My optional studies ( history, arts, Psych, et.al) are now available as RUclips videos, but my science studies are still valuable. In the subsequent 40 years, I morphed from a physics student into an aerospace systems engineer. After graduating, I had several job offers. One from Brookhaven National Lab(working on a liquid sodium Cooling system, for a nuclear reactor;One from Grumman Aerospace Corp Working on the flight testing of the A-6 Intruder's bombing system, One from Riverhead School System as Head of the Math Dept. I wasn't even trained to teach Math, but I had learned how to use it.

0% financing? How?
To be fair, I still see value in a degree like mathematics. The quantitative skills are useful in finance, teaching, and the tech sector (although it may need to be augmented with other skills).
But a large part of many degrees is paraphrasing and citing papers by Smith, J. et al. (2017). There is nearly no value in this outside of research/academia.
I feel that if it's not directly related to the skill I'm trying to learn, I shouldn't have to earn the credit. Why do I need to take a history class to become a car mechanic? Maybe a science class about rust and corrosion and electricity as it relates to car engines. But a Humanities course? Why?
When I was 5 years old, I couldn't wait to go to school. I got the new clothes, Lunch box, shows, - the works - I thought this was going to be great. I got on the bus and off I went. After 4 hours I came home from my first day of half day kindergarten. My Dad asked me how was my first day? I threw my lunch box across the living room and said:"I'm not going back". I was the first person iI knew who hated school. I hated it so bad, I graduated early just to get out. I asked my guidance counsel why General Motors or Paramount Pictures didn't have a college? She said because their business is business, not education. I'm happy that one day these Freakin Hippy Liberal College Campuses will one day go the way of the dinosaur.

I think this video is good up to a certain point. There are very specialized professions where a college degree is extremely important and probably the most efficient way of training the skills. Outside of these professions, I think there is a bigger demand for “generalists” in the labor market.

You dont go to school to memorize facts. You go there to train your brain, prove that you can learn and are able to focus, organize your thoughts and express them coherently and clearly. To prove you can handle a project assignement. But memorizing things is also important because then you can work alot more efficiently. Your thought process is only based on knowledge not what you can find from Siri. Academical degrees are there for a very big reason.
You are wonderful!
Unfortunately, the university (generally speaking) has lost sight of this and has focused on the vocational side of education because that is where the money is. There is tremendous value in learning history, philosophy, languages and all the other elements of what used to be considered a liberal education. That sort of education has great value but it also does not demand a massive campus and $50,000 a year tuition, huge endowments and masses of administrators - Plato and Aristotle worked by themselves. Today's academics need to start focusing on the fundamentals that you reference and stop selling their degrees on the basis of how good a job you're going to get. Unfortunately, that would also mean cutting the price.
You go there to solve assignments?? Lol. Go and write that shit on your CV.
@@VeryProPlayerYesSir1122 you just proved her point. You don't have the ability to read simple english and understand. Or your memory is so poor you couldn't repeat what she said correctly 20 seconds later.
I disagree. Training your brain, proving that you can learn and are able to focus, organizing your thoughts and expressing them coherently and clearly as well as training your memory should be done much earlier, at ages 10-18. By the age of 18 or 19, it is probably already too late to teach these. Academical degrees as we know them today, were simple constructs of third industrial revolution. And they worked fairly well for nearly two centuries. Today however, they are completely obsolete. Now, obviously, for certain professions you need proof of ability before being allowed to partake in, such an example is medical profession. However, if you carefully think about it, achieving this does not necessarily mandate the existence of an academical degree as an institution, does it? We still use them, as they are an adequate and proven 19th and 20th century model. 21st century already has and certainly will continue to yield new methods of learning, new methods of measuring one's knowledge and abilities. Some of the technologies that come to mind that will disrupt higher education (and may I add much sooner then everybody is thinking) are AR with haptic feedback + AI teachers and teaching assistants.
There is a difference between craft and profession. You can learn to drive a civilian aircraft in most climatic conditions within two weeks, But you will not get a civil aviation license until to study math, physics, quality, safety, etc, you need at least two years. This applies to programming, accounting, cooking and construction..etc. There are online academies, by the way
The best thing school or university can teach you is not the actual content that's taught but how to learn.
Not sure how a student can get to college and not already know how to learn.
Learning whatever a university could teach you about learning how to learn takes one semester at most not 4 years.
I'm dropping out after the semester. College is mostly to get recognition by corporations but corporations are downsizing, outsourcing, offshoring, automating, etc. The gig economy is growing rapidly.
The community college I'm at offers an Entrepreneurship certificate. I scoff at it because anyone who is good at entrepreneurship wouldn't be a teacher. That would be the bane of their existence...
Why would a good entrepreneur want to work for university?
Why after?

"CS degree obsolete in 3 years" tells a lot about you. Especially that you have no idea what Computer Science is. Hint: no, it's not bodging web pages in yet another hip framework.
the only thing my computer science degree help me with was getting my first job. Once I started my career I never used what I learned in college. Ever. My company sent me to technical classes and training seminars for the knowledge I needed to do my job. They could have just as well hired any high school graduate who knew how to code reasonably well.
@@dirremoire Depends what you are doing. CS gives you fundamentals you can build upon. If you are talking about programming then it could be done by trained high/secondary schooler.
@@vaclavblazek Well, I guess it depends on what are considered the fundamentals. Data structures, algorithm design, i/o control, portability. ALL these are considered fundamentals yet each and everyone can be self-taught or learned in high school. Can you think of a fundamental that can't be acquired by a motivated high school kid who loves coding?
@@dirremoire I think you’re ignoring the part that survivorship bias plays in your story. You graduated with a CS degree, many others who attempted didn’t. You were able to self teach yourself tools at work, many other people who attempted weren’t able to. Also, where did you actually learn to code? In your data structures and algorithms class, or did you learn through google and self teaching? At least for my degree, I wasn’t being taught commands, just concepts - the ability to self teach myself new languages was the practice I got doing the problem sets. Also, algorithms is fundamentally a problem solving class, I’ve never had to program my own algorithm from scratch, but I do still refer to what I learned from Algo & data structures to know what library to pull up to solve my problem at hand. I definitely don’t think a cs degree will be obsolete. All the people programming siri and alexa that this guy claims will make cs obsolete is being created by CS PhD’s. That requires more than googling how to code.
Remember 20-80 rule, for every 20% of people make it, 80% of people don’t.
Why doesn’t everyone just go on your company trip to learn the tools you learned and replaced you? It’s probably because your education gave you skills that others don’t possess.
College isn’t there to teach content, it teaches you how to learn.... and possibly teach machines.
When I worked in IT we had a software architect who was probably the smartest person I ever knew. He could foresee where every project could possibly go and built his framework to match the future. That could not possibly have been something he was taught, it was something his vision showed him. Lesser people ended up working for video game developers - a fate worse than death.
