When my son was about to graduate high school, one of his friends told me he was going to college to major in history. I said, "History? There's no future in that..."
I approached college "backwards"-worked in a field for a decade then got a degree to "prove" I knew what I had been doing. Never found it challenging this way-just an expensive book club.
@@NameCallingIsWeak Actually it was-got three degrees and now teach at University. Got a Business degree after 20 years of working and management, got a Masters in Education after designing and implementing an entire Montessori High School curriculum, and a Masters in Psychology after 25 years of mentored work on exploring consciousness. Never found it challenging or "hard" this way. Now I am discovering how "dumbed down" the younger generations are and it is frightening. Should have the smartest generation with access to Digital Information-but instead the opposite has occurred. :)
@@randydandy7526 Hey Randy-from my perspective and being 60 years old and a teacher, I consider the "younger" generation from an educational position those born from around 2000. I consider my generation to be "Analog" and the younger to be "Digital". With my Psychology background, I realize a big difference. The Digital Era generation are "wired" completely different. Simple example is with cars-I grew up actually modifying cars, drag racing in the streets, and doing my own mechanical repairs and upkeep. I quit working on cars in the 80s when computers and chips were added into the mix. Required a new skillset I did not care to invest in. When I went in the Navy in 1980, I drove a 1939 Chevy Sedan Deluxe with an inline 6-cylinder, oil bath air-filter, 3-speed on the column, and king pins instead of power steering. You probably will not have teenagers "rebuilding" a 2020 car in the year 2080. Times are different and technology is changing exponentially faster. With the Digital Era is a major problem with information over load. Far too much for our feeble minds to truly process completely. Our focus then for learning needs to shift to Emotional Intelligence since it is emotions that are the primary driver. As a teacher, I saw this plainly and my Master Thesis in 2015 was titled "Responsibility for Thought and Feeling". Hope this answer helps you! Have a Great Day!
I have a philosophy degree and it's far from useless. I not only know why they want fries, but I can explain to them why their reasons for wanting fries are bad ones, and I can persuade them to get onion rings instead.

My daughter was holding up her Master's Degree certificate. It was huge and all done in calligraphy. As I filmed her I noticed they had spelled her name wrong. I just quietly said, 'They spelled your name wrong.' She just looked at me and then smiled and told me I was kidding. When I didn't respond she frantically checked out the certificate and just melted. $100,000 and they got her name wrong.
Just make sure the accredited school has attributed that certificate to the correct student ID. The certificate is still valid. Information is written down by humans, input into computers by humans, read by humans, written by humans, humans with lives, you havent the slightest idea what happened at the moment that certificate was written. No you do not in a position to say that specific certificate is more or less important than any other. Otherwise any other parent can make the same claim thus the point becomes moot. Call the school, make sure the accreditation to your daughter is valid, then motherfucker them into sending you a corrected set of certificates as it is reasonably assumed the cost of the education includes a correct original certificate and not a shitty reprint (and yes, you will probably have to wait until next graduation when they send out the orders to whatever company produced those pieces of paper). IF by some chance she is not properly accredited, inform the school both you and them have records of your daughter attending and receiving credits to achieve that certificate, and either the ball gets rolling on fixing this now or the next call will be to the family lawyer to address this 'slam dunk' case of fraud by a (hopefully) state accredited university. the types of people that answered above who just spread shade and roll over are why the places that get away with things like that exist. Stand for something or fall for anything, die on your feet or live on your knees(with a misspelled certificate), your choice. Heres hoping that $100,000 was spent on a marketable job skill and you didnt just send her to a 4 year art camp......

Truth! "All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made." John 1:3. The him is Jesus, the Word made flesh. John 1:14. What is the dictionary word for God? Supreme Being, Creator. John 1:3 cleary states that Jesus is uncreated and the Creator. Jesus' first end times warning is, "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and shall deceive many." Matthew 24:4-5. "But though we or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:8. Jesus said that he is God! "Before Abraham was, I am." John 8:58, Exodus 3:14. The corrupt Jews wanted to stone Jesus because He called God His Father, making himself to be God. John 10:33. "For the Father loveth you because ye have loved me and believe that I came out from God." John 16:27. Jesus forgave sins.Mark2:10-12.[Only God can forgive sins]. He knew His Father as His Father knew Him. John 10:15. [Only God can know as God knows.] "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up." [Jesus spoke of His body] John 2:18-22. Jesus stated He is omnipresent, a quality of God alone. Matthew 18:20. "Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am in the midst of them." "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was and which is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:8. Know also, Jesus is fully man. Hebrews 3:3, 7:24, 8:3, and 10:12. King James Bible. He called us brethren. He became our high priest. Hebrews 10! 'Oh the blood of Jesus, oh the blood of Jesus, it washes white as snow.'
My grandfather told me if you get a degree in philosophy you're going to just sit around and think about why you don't have a job. If you get a degree in theology you're going to just sit around and pray about why you don't have a job.
And you get a degree in gender studies and you finally realize you dont have a job because of straight white hetero normative males. And you probably find out that you are actually a xee gender who identifies as an atheistic Muslim on an invisible wheelchair.
Fact: while true, both of these majors have the highest percentage of acceptance into medical school. Why? Few people can handle Philosophy rigor in addition to science course success.
Well, there aren't 'Philosophy jobs' so to speak. You don't get a Philosophy degree to get hired, you get it so that you know enough to write a book. You can't just sit around thinking, you either need to write an interesting book, or go oldschool: hang around in public, challenging people's ideas about how the world works.
@Jorge Pastor dios Nicolás Maduro Moro Aleluya Amén dude you’re looney tunes. Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me.’” -John 14:6 Come to Christ and be saved.
@Jorge Pastor dios Nicolás Maduro Moro Aleluya Amén I pray that you repent. The Lord God will share glory with no man. Mr Moor will die but The Lord is eternal.

Philosophy is pre-law. A tiny number of grads go on to PhDs, if they already know they can write a book based on their thesis. Otherwise, there's no sense in it. In Europe they won't admit you to a doctorate in philosophy without a thesis proposal.
I have a degree in civil engineering. I got it in 1996. It's been very useful and profitable. I'll say this much though...college was full of useless stuff back then too.
Totally depends on the major. Anything in STEM or engineering will be extremely useful and applicable in the real world but a genders studies or history degree, unfortunately, don't cut it. Eh no, nothing unfortunate about how useless "gender studies" are.
I got my Bachelor's in Education in 1979 and was able to find jobs that eventually led me to getting a second degree in Sign Language Interpreting in 1988. I guess it all depends on the Degree you choose to get. Before you could get a degree and bend it to fit a job, now that wiggle room is gone.
@@seanA416 but if you are STEM or engineer professional with mental health issues you can't make money. That's why psychologists, psychiatrists, and mental health professionals exist.

That was like my sister. She attained a kinesiology degree and wanted some experience in the field before considering pursuing a masters. She was paid only $1 more an hour than minimum wage as a "physiotherapy assistant". She went back to operating equipment for a construction company with better pay and overall compensation package.
a PhD in medicine. Never got the 40 hrs/wk or steady wk across the US. topped out at $24/hr as expert in Neuro rehab. Every yr on unemp hit total income w work & unemp @$22-24k. our techs, also CNAs ("nursing") no formal ed beyond high school, got $15.00/hr and as much as 80 hrs/wk, overtime 1 1/2x over 40 hrs. our CNAs, mostly foreign, bought houses in the States and in their countries, ended up renting out houses here and went home to live, as retirees on investment income after several yrs work. that's life.😲
I am always amazed with people that would dedicate 5 years of their life and $100k to a degree that they didn't bother to research what it pays and the number of jobs available BEFORE receiving the degree. And then want their student loans forgiven because they're jobless or only make $20/hour.
I went into college in 1998, planning to major in theater. Thankfully, a wonderful professor my freshman year talked me out of that pursuit and convinced me to become a Communications major. Dodged a bullet there! Four years later, I didn’t even bother walking. I was working during the ceremony and my diploma was mailed to me a few weeks later. It was if I somehow knew that aside from forming a few great relationships, there wasn’t a whole lot worth celebrating. Today I’m fortunate to have a great job that I enjoy…and it’s one of many I’ve had that didn’t require a degree. As is usually the case with comedy, this video compilation is funny ‘cause it’s true.
Yet such a scam industry gets away with public robbery that makes Ponzi scheming Bernie Madoff look like a lightweight conman hobbyist. Higher education has become infested by corruption. Naive and hopeful would be Freshman are easy prey for the greedy predatory system that colleges have become.

@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 Hi there. I am very interested in hearing your perspective about corruption in universities, as you seem to have had negative experiences. May I ask specifically what you are referring to?
I have a nursing degree and an early childhood education degree.... I started a cleaning business and do side gigs like Uber and make 4x as much money as either of those. I got the degrees with the idea it would make me a better person, helping children.... unfortunately being a good person doesn't pay the bills 😕
My advice: Before you pick a major. Open up a job board like zip recruiter or indeed. Start scrolling through the list of jobs and see what degrees employers are asking for. You’ll have a better idea of which degrees are worth more than the paper they are printed on. Or better yet, filter by salary and look at good paying jobs and what degrees are required.
Want a future in Information Technology? Graduate HS, the take IT classes one or two at a time from Community College and take the certification exam they teach to instead of the final exam offered in the class. Do that for a couple years until you understand stuff. Get IT work from there, make 80-150k/yr inside 5 years depending on aptitude. Nobody worth working for in IT cares about your Bachelor degree.
Isn't it a bit weird to give such Sage advice at a time when computers are available and such things as the internet? Consider that no such animals were in existence in the 50s 60s 70s or 80s to utilize
College is a money making scheme for the institution. It only works out for 20% of the graduates. My son just paid off his math degree student loans by being a machinist at the age of 50.
Average students that I know, 6 years out, are making 6 figures doing something they love. That's not the norm for all fields within STEM but, generally speaking, STEM pays.
I went to college for 1 year and said screw that and went into factory work where at full rate moving up can make more than most jobs and not have to pay an arm and a leg for college. Luckily I paid for my first year in cash since I started working super young.
@@Sam21998 Same story here. I went back for specific subjects to help me or a class that held my interest. Never put together a degree. My poor son kept changing majors until he had invested 165 hours to get a 120 hour bachelor's degree in math.

I wanted to study English literature but parents and I thought that I should first study accounting seeing as I had a full scholarship for that. This satisfies my soul because I am not funny.
You probably did the right thing. I majored in English Lit with a minor in Philosophy, and I've worked primarily as a waiter my whole life. I've also worked in hotels and warehouses and as security. I've never been hired due to my degree. I don't completely regret taking the courses and seminars I took, but looking back, with a little guidance, I should have majored in something more practical. I didn't think of college as a means to employment, but rather, a bit too idealistically, as a continuing education of my mind and spirit. You can read anything you want on your own time for a lot less money.
I have an English degree, long since paid off, but I'm thinking of an MBA through a local college that offers it for under 10 grand. Idk but I haven't made a lot of money with my English degree, although it has kept me employed.
@@bschuler6216 and that is why I never pursued my master's in English. A BA, ok, but to do that would require time and money I don't have. It's a rich person's leisure to do that for the sake of the degree, is my thought.

Modern History Factories: Mainstream Media. Like they said in The USSR, "Everybody knows the future it's the past that keeps changing." A great theologian with a philosophy degree told his kid, "What's the difference between a philosophy degree and a large pizza? A large pizza feeds a family of four."
I have said it many times before and I'll say it again. One of the biggest mistakes I ever made was going to college. I finished five majors (my college allowed for a lot cross-application of classes), and so had a terrible time finding a job. And then I, being stupid and unable to learn, got a masters degree. Made it even harder. Thank God I didn't go for my PhD.
To answer everyone's questions, I graduated from undergrad in 2006 and completed my masters in 2013. Undergrad majors finished were Journalism, Art History, Philosophy, German, and European Studies. I had a plan to use all of those to leap into a career in print journalism but we all know that's kind of a dead medium. So I went back to get a masters in organizational leadership. This admittedly allowed me to get better jobs than I had before, but it still wasn't easy to accomplish that. I received a lot of statements about over qualified (though I don't understand why) and am still kind of lost as to what I can do with most of my education.
This is why I tell all young kids to go to trade school instead. There are plenty of people working blue collar trades that are getting paid just as much or more than most white collar jobs in 2021. I grew up in the 1980's. The teachers back then used to tell the students that if you don't make good grades and go to college, they are going to be doomed to digging ditches. I am willing to bet that ditch diggers get paid way more than the school teachers plus they get government benefits and government paid retirement.
Fact. My brother in law works in trim design (minor cabin and external vehicle details) for one of the largest automotive employers in the world. He has a degree. He's salaried. Makes around 65-70k annually. I had 2 years of trade school. I work in a weld cell for the same company. I crush him in the earnings dept. year after year. On top of that, I get more paid time off, all the OT I want, AND a company matched 401. He's salaried, OT is not possible in his position and his 401 contributions are only as large as his non-OT position allows. By the time he retires, I will have been retired for 12 years and living off interest alone.

In 2011, my paternal grandfather died at the age of 89 just six credits shy of his bachelor's degree. He was never able to attend university as a young man because he was in Pearl Harbor when it was bombed and served in the Pacific until the war was over. It was a goal he set for himself, so the utility of a degree really depends why you get a degree.
Sad part is, you're grandfather might have been disappointed in the education system these days. It's more indoctrination as compared to teaching. In his time, teachers could actually teach.
@@ocean3638 Yes, indoctrination is the word. First time I went to college was in the 1970's and enjoyed it and did well and graduated. About 20 years later I went back, and was quite disappointed in the program. I finished it, but was not nearly as happy about it as I was in the 1970's. Twenty years after that, I went back to college again and was so throughly disgusted by the lack of quality in the instruction (class time was a complete waste. Only chance to learn was after class at home. Instructors played favorites, Thirty percent of the class dropped out which was what the instructors wanted because they over-sold the program 30% above capacity then bullied out a third of the class, after the deadline for refunds) I was horrified. I did not complete. Any further courses I take will be online.

When your kids say they're going to college, say good luck and goodbye. Tell to go to a trade school, learn a skill that's needed, half of trade jobs go unfilled today and they're hiring skilled workers. A college degree is worthless to employers, they're looking for skills, not college degrees.
So true I did the whole college thing, then I had to re train in the field I ended up working in, I don't regret doing my degree, but 30k debt at the end of it was a high price to pay indeed

Bruh tell that to my pharmacy degree. As long as you got a PharmD and a license, you can find a job anywhere. And you start off with a six figure salary. College degrees are only useless if you dont know what you wanna be yet. Go in with a plan and you'll be better off for it.
A friend sat a philosophy exam back in the 1970's. It had just one question, which was, "Is this a fair question?" Everybody groaned and set to work. My pal wrote one line and walked out. His answer was, "Is this a fair answer?" He passed.
My brother had a teacher in high school who claimed to have sat a college exam that asked “Does God exist?” He simply wrote a reply of “Yes”. Passed. The story - true or not - gained him a lot of traction.

True story. I’m a tradesman. I was in a customers home going over a job I was doing at the customers home and the small talk ensued.

They shut up and were a bit too quiet, looked at the table and the husband got up and walked away shaking his head in dismay...the wife said (very quietly) actually, she does work at Starbucks...... I laughed out loud and the rest of the bid was a bit of a bummer...
I'm 31 and my fiance is 27. We went to the same high school but didn't date until later in life. I had to teach her how to write checks. Somewhere in those 4 years they stopped teaching kids how to deal with life and were more concerned with how being broke made u feel.
Honestly my English major has been incredibly useful. You would be surprised how many people can’t even compose an email. I was the go-to person for writing reports and technical documents.
As if their constant rise in tuition isn't enough. I worked at a call center for the college for some months and the amount of times I heard people say along the lines of college didnt do anything for me for free was a lot.
They wouldn't have to beg for donations if administrators didn't pad their pockets with rising tuition costs and states didn't cut appropriations by 75%.
My oldest brother got a degree in history. Yeah that did not lead to too much. So he got a divinity degree. Upon graduation, he realized he did not have the calling.

My husband’s baby mama has a master degree in psychology and is working as a social worker for the state government, with our generous child support, she can’t even afford her two bedroom apartment. I come from a culture that’s obsessed about education, but we are very much against degrees that can’t find job in real life.
I get over a 100% return on my MD per year. The issue is the system - should cost 20 grand a year not 50 - very unethical deans raking in 400k a year to do?
And unnecessary classes , college should act more as trade schools . This way all of your education is dedicated to your future job . This will limit the classes needed and the cost while improving your needed skill set
It's about time somebody else said this... I saw that one on the Illinois list of public jobs.

Got a Business degree after 20 years of working and management, got a Masters in Education after designing and implementing an entire Montessori High School curriculum, and a Masters in Psychology after 25 years of mentored work on exploring consciousness. Never found it challenging or "hard" this way. Now I am discovering how "dumbed down" the younger generations are and it is frightening. Should have the smartest generation with access to Digital Information-but instead the opposite has occurred. :)

@@dariushober1506 u were refering to which generation?
@@randydandy7526 Hey Randy-from my perspective and being 60 years old and a teacher, I consider the "younger" generation from an educational position those born from around 2000. I consider my generation to be "Analog" and the younger to be "Digital". With my Psychology background, I realize a big difference. The Digital Era generation are "wired" completely different. Simple example is with cars-I grew up actually modifying cars, drag racing in the streets, and doing my own mechanical repairs and upkeep. I quit working on cars in the 80s when computers and chips were added into the mix. Required a new skillset I did not care to invest in. When I went in the Navy in 1980, I drove a 1939 Chevy Sedan Deluxe with an inline 6-cylinder, oil bath air-filter, 3-speed on the column, and king pins instead of power steering. You probably will not have teenagers "rebuilding" a 2020 car in the year 2080. Times are different and technology is changing exponentially faster.
With the Digital Era is a major problem with information over load. Far too much for our feeble minds to truly process completely. Our focus then for learning needs to shift to Emotional Intelligence since it is emotions that are the primary driver. As a teacher, I saw this plainly and my Master Thesis in 2015 was titled "Responsibility for Thought and Feeling". Hope this answer helps you! Have a Great Day!
I have a philosophy degree and it's far from useless. I not only know why they want fries, but I can explain to them why their reasons for wanting fries are bad ones, and I can persuade them to get onion rings instead.

My daughter was holding up her Master's Degree certificate. It was huge and all done in calligraphy. As I filmed her I noticed they had spelled her name wrong. I just quietly said, 'They spelled your name wrong.' She just looked at me and then smiled and told me I was kidding. When I didn't respond she frantically checked out the certificate and just melted. $100,000 and they got her name wrong.
It does not matter. They have the money. Your name, meh.
Thank you for the money now out the door.
Just make sure the accredited school has attributed that certificate to the correct student ID. The certificate is still valid. Information is written down by humans, input into computers by humans, read by humans, written by humans, humans with lives, you havent the slightest idea what happened at the moment that certificate was written. No you do not in a position to say that specific certificate is more or less important than any other. Otherwise any other parent can make the same claim thus the point becomes moot. Call the school, make sure the accreditation to your daughter is valid, then motherfucker them into sending you a corrected set of certificates as it is reasonably assumed the cost of the education includes a correct original certificate and not a shitty reprint (and yes, you will probably have to wait until next graduation when they send out the orders to whatever company produced those pieces of paper). IF by some chance she is not properly accredited, inform the school both you and them have records of your daughter attending and receiving credits to achieve that certificate, and either the ball gets rolling on fixing this now or the next call will be to the family lawyer to address this 'slam dunk' case of fraud by a (hopefully) state accredited university.
the types of people that answered above who just spread shade and roll over are why the places that get away with things like that exist. Stand for something or fall for anything, die on your feet or live on your knees(with a misspelled certificate), your choice.

I had a plan to use all of those to leap into a career in print journalism but we all know that's kind of a dead medium. So I went back to get a masters in organizational leadership. This admittedly allowed me to get better jobs than I had before, but it still wasn't easy to accomplish that. I received a lot of statements about over qualified (though I don't understand why) and am still kind of lost as to what I can do with most of my education.

Sad part is, you're grandfather might have been disappointed in the education system these days. It's more indoctrination as compared to teaching. In his time, teachers could actually teach.
@@ocean3638 Yes, indoctrination is the word. First time I went to college was in the 1970's and enjoyed it and did well and graduated. About 20 years later I went back, and was quite disappointed in the program. I finished it, but was not nearly as happy about it as I was in the 1970's. Twenty years after that, I went back to college again and was so throughly disgusted by the lack of quality in the instruction (class time was a complete waste. Only chance to learn was after class at home. Instructors played favorites, Thirty percent of the class dropped out which was what the instructors wanted because they over-sold the program 30% above capacity then bullied out a third of the class, after the deadline for refunds) I was horrified. I did not complete. Any further courses I take will be online.
One of my close friends is finishing her Ph.D. In the next 6 months, at the age of 77. I admire that.
A woman was looking for the perfect husband....
She dated a doctor - but all he wanted to do was examine it.
She dated a philosopher - but all he did was talk about it.
Then she dated a mechanic - he tore it up the first night and has been working on it ever since!

College students should sign an affirmation that they recognize their degree is useless.
they do when they sign the student loan ..kinda
Especially if the degree is Art History, Women’s Studies, African American Studies, English, History, etc.
@@kathyyoung1774 there's a thing called Women's Studies there?
@@shailendraahangama194 Yes, a degree program! Several universities have them. What can someone with that degree do for a career? Teach Women's Studies? B*tch about men? Celebrate and remind other women that they have a vagina? To what purpose? Your tax dollars at work.
colleges should post signs at the entrance "Enter at your own risk!"
5:25 You can give a philosopher anything - a dog - and by the time he stops talking about it, you will think that you never saw one before!
Thanks!

That guy doing all the charts is Abso-FREAKING-lutely

When your kids say they're going to college, say good luck and goodbye.
Tell to go to a trade school, learn a skill that's needed, half of trade jobs go unfilled today and they're hiring skilled workers.
A college degree is worthless to employers, they're looking for skills, not college degrees.
So true I did the whole college thing, then I had to re train in the field I ended up working in, I don't regret doing my degree, but 30k debt at the end of it was a high price to pay indeed
Forty minute visit from "Rooter Man" $240.00. Fifty minute visit from plumber to repair 1700.00 (rip off) job to re-do plumbing underneath my kitchen sink, $275.00. Toilet routering job from my purchase of toilet paper sourced from bamboo (aka "Insta clog,") $300.00. Not glamorous-- but these guys are making money. People pay when they can't flush their toilets or use their kitchen sink.
@@eagleeye2300 How do you not know how to do all those things you're?
Bruh tell that to my pharmacy degree. As long as you got a PharmD and a license, you can find a job anywhere. And you start off with a six figure salary.
College degrees are only useless if you dont know what you wanna be yet. Go in with a plan and you'll be better off for it.
@@ylvavarynkottir2265 Yep, but most don't do that, they get scammed with a useless degree and get into high debt.

A friend sat a philosophy exam back in the 1970's. It had just one question, which was, "Is this a fair question?"
Everybody groaned and set to work. My pal wrote one line and walked out.
His answer was, "Is this a fair answer?"
He passed.
My brother had a teacher in high school who claimed to have sat a college exam that asked “Does God exist?” He simply wrote a reply of “Yes”. Passed. The story - true or not - gained him a lot of traction.
@@drazicmilosovic1065 I heard of one test: "Prove the chair you're sitting on exists."; A answer: "If it didn't, my butt would be on the floor."
Someone I knew took a philosophy exam where the question was 'how would you define bravery?'. They replied with the single word 'this'.
@@sgbh8874 touché Good Sir; I see you too have mingled with the minimalists of the motivational-world.
Respect to your pal for answering the question with a question.👊🏼😎
I have a Master in Human Resources Management (which, in my country in the 90', was 7 years), a Post-Graduation in Labour Law and a Post-Graduation in Tourism Management... I am a housewife, outside my country, because thats where my husband, with the same master as me, could get a job!! So... University was a miss for me too.

My ethics professor got caught with fraudulent degrees! 🤣
Ethics? What irony!
I got an accounting degree and it worked out alright. It didn't sound particularly interesting but I never really had a dream job growing up and that at least seemed stable and had potential for growth.
You did the right thing studying accounting. You need a job that pays the bills and help finance your true passions.
You know what is not interesting? Poverty wages!!!
Nobody doesn't get to do what they want to do for a living. They get to do what OTHER people want you to do for a living.
I became an accountant at the age of 24. I stayed in it until I was 36 and left it due to the never ending boredom. I try to talk young people out of a career in accounting if they express any interest in it.
a kid who actually believed his parents? good for you.⛹
True story. I’m a tradesman. I was in a customers home going over a job I was doing at the customers home and the small talk ensued. I asked after their kids and they said they had a daughter and were beaming about her, they said she has her masters in anthropology, to which I said “what? Does she want to work at Starbucks?? They shut up and were a bit too quiet, looked at the table and the husband got up and walked away shaking his head in dismay...the wife said (very quietly) actually, she does work at Starbucks...... I laughed out loud and the rest of the bid was a bit of a bummer...
37:20 I gotta say as an Engineering major it was good to see some derivatives in comedy for a change
Might say they were integral to his performance.
As long as you're not a dy/dx.
Dont drink and derive!
He took it to the limit
change lol I see what you did there.
I'm 31 and my fiance is 27. We went to the same high school but didn't date until later in life. I had to teach her how to write checks. Somewhere in those 4 years they stopped teaching kids how to deal with life and were more concerned with how being broke made u feel.
I love the Capital-ism joke from the English Major! 9:39
One of the best Bar Comedy clips I've seen so far!
3:10 the “reading trance” hilarious…happens often to me as a person with ADHD 😆
This compilation is fantastic! 🤣
Honestly my English major has been incredibly useful. You would be surprised how many people can’t even compose an email.
I was the go-to person for writing reports and technical documents.
And you always will be? :-)
Did you have to go to college for that?
I’m not at all surprised. I’m constantly amazed that even those who write the news don’t use correct grammar.
But it really bites when the ones you're writing FOR get the credit...AND are getting paid far more than YOU!
Somebody must have jokes about colleges begging for alumni donations? That is quite funny.
John mulaney has a bit about that
As if their constant rise in tuition isn't enough.
I worked at a call center for the college for some months and the amount of times I heard people say along the lines of college didnt do anything for me for free was a lot.
Look up “John Mulaney Gets Cheated Out of 120k” and you will not be disappointed
I used to get letters from a Catholic women's college asking for donations, although I dropped out of it in the summer of 1993.
They wouldn't have to beg for donations if administrators didn't pad their pockets with rising tuition costs and states didn't cut appropriations by 75%.
34:44 those charts and fractions were surprisingly smart and funny!!
I love when the audience cracks up the comedians 😁, great video! Really funny people! Thank you!
The REAL joke here is that we paid for all that "education".
Well, that's the price you pay for an education.
The chart man was absolutely brilliant. Very, very , clever.
I love how the ads are for colleges on this.

Good stuff! Love the charts in the end!
There was a time, years and years ago, when there had been a genuine shortage of educated people. College made sense then. Not so much now. 😭
There is a bigger shortage today, but you can't convince them that they are ignorant, and college can't make them smart.
09:56 When I was in college, my parents relocated to Chicago. And I found them. LoL!
He could get work as a private detective!
My oldest brother got a degree in history. Yeah that did not lead to too much. So he got a divinity degree. Upon graduation, he realized he did not have the calling. So he worked for an airline for a while and hated that. So he got a law degree. And he toiled as the only lawyer in a small town the rest of his life and died insolvent. Three degrees and he died in poverty.
Sorry to read this. The problem was not in getting the degrees, but in not knowing what to do. Had he asked God to lead him, things would have never ended up this way. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
Or, he could have ditched college altogether, and learned that working on things with your hands gets you dirty and smelly, but pays very well!
Law degrees aren’t useless unless you choose for them to be or are absolutely terrible at your job. I have attorneys in my circle and they’re quite wealthy.
@@Spark_Iskra_z_Polski So he got a divinity degree, but didn't get the right advice from God not to do that? Ah, the amount of stupidity on the internet these days...

Omg Rodney Norman - 100% truth about the philosophy degree!! I was majoring in philosophy for the first two years of my degree. It was during an epistomology class (the nature of reality) when I realized, "Wow. How pointless could this possibly get? I need a real degree..." Rationalizing if things exist is a hilarious waste of everyone's time. I don't understand how anyone bothers.
Epistemology is about how we know anything.
The warehouse manager at my first job has a master degree in anthropology. I ran into home a few weeks ago and he told me he got laid off a few years ago and is currently working as a night stocker at one of the largest retail. His wife also has a master degree in constitution, and she’s teaching history at a small middle school. My husband’s baby mama has a master degree in psychology and is working as a social worker for the state government, with our generous child support, she can’t even afford her two bedroom apartment. I come from a culture that’s obsessed about education, but we are very much against degrees that can’t find job in real life.
I get over a 100% return on my MD per year. The issue is the system - should cost 20 grand a year not 50 - very unethical deans raking in 400k a year to do?
And unnecessary classes , college should act more as trade schools . This way all of your education is dedicated to your future job . This will limit the classes needed and the cost while improving your needed skill set
And teachers no longer qualified to teach, but are tenured.
Good for you.
It's about time somebody else said this... I saw that one on the Illinois list of public jobs. We have one married couple in the college system raking in $600,000-plus between them and a college admin. retiree making that much by himself, all on the taxpayer dime. Tuitions are ridiculous. Thomas Sowell explains how the costs went up.
Karl, they're living the good life and want us to sign a blank check for the "sake of education." We have to do something about the costs first.
I thought about becoming historian, because I loved history, but I didn't know where historians worked except schools, I hated my school, so I went to get engineering degree.

I chuckled about it the whole video. Excuse me if I didn't rewind back to get it word for word so you could enjoy it as much as I did. Lighten up. It's comedy, thats literally the point of it.
The failed audition...reminds me of Tobias Funke "IT'S A FIRE sale."

I keep seeing a trend of parents that don't know how to teach their kids how to do anything
it's part of the nature of things today: modernity has made us all passengers on the ship of fools.
Yup. A lot of dumbasses for overpriced private schools.
And the ones who can afford to send their kids to private boarding school so that they can raise them instead
DO anything? How about starting w how to be a decent human being? A little girl held a door for me at the Laundramat a few days ago and I was astounded. Last time I saw any kid help anyone out in the world was some years ago in Mexico.
@@grandmalovesmebest That would be what I am saying. Parents know how to act, but don't know how to impart that wisdom onto their own children. Parents know how to do their own taxes but can't teach their kids how to make a grilled cheese of all things.
