    this video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napolean Hill pitch.

      Society can collapse either way some people work at jobs but the economy can still not be in good shape I really think there should be a change in the job system. I think some people would probably take more jobs that require no experience that offer health care and benefits the job is remote where you don’t deal with many people it’s not all positive dealing with many people it’s why jobs end up toxic or the person picks up the work from the company and just finish it where ever they stay at. The company could also send the work to where you live but we can only hope more new better jobs arrive these are some reasons but there are many others. If many 9-5 jobs can be enjoyable it would be like watching a movie I think many of us don’t like the 9 to 5 grind.

Not to say there aren't good examples of 9-5 jobs.

Being forced onto one is wrong but I’m these cases they actually kicked up a fuss to be on zero hours so they could make sure they don’t have to work during school holidays so they can take care of their kids. I totally agree they are more often than not used in a scammy way but I think we’ve got to the point where we are told something is a scam and but it’s actually more how the companies are using it that makes it a scam or not

    Nice to see someone counter hot air with actual data.

Really, it's a chance to connect with like minded individuals, people who love it just like you do. When someone says those who have spent their life on this stuff are wrong, or suckers, it's almost certainly because they want to galvanise your biases or fears and get you to follow them instead. Be careful, it leads nowhere: Trust science. Follow your passion. Get educated.

    The best advise I ever got on college was from my community college’s academic/career advisor: “figure out where you want to be, figure out the steps it takes to get there, then follow those steps and not get distracted with other things.” So if you’re goal involves trade school, then do that instead of an Ivy League. If it is about experience only, then intern or apprentice instead of college. But if you want a career that normally requires a certain level of college, then do that amount of college. Generally not PhD.

      Cool but, I doubt anyone has ever decided between an Ivy league school and trade school. Usually you decide between university and trade school and if you do decide to go to university and end up doing well enough to get a scholarship to an Ivy league school, then you do that. Otherwise you end up at whatever university is nearby that you can afford to attend. If you can afford an Ivy League education and are paired for it (through lifelong tutoring) then your parents damn sure aren't going to let you throw away their investment in you by letting you go to trade school.

      People think they collect their social/ecocnomic benefits because of learning and knowledge. Or in worst case because of connections.
      But recent(and not so) studies came to different conclusion.
      Almost all benefits come with degree. Higher education is not wealth generation mechanism, it's wealth redustribution through so called signalling. Degree is signal that distribute wealth on highly competitive labor market. It doesn't matter if you fake degree, or get it by learning hard, you get all benefits by stealing wealth from people without degree.
      Why we see slower economy growth and salaries stagnation while there is more higher educated people than ever? Because they don't produce welath.

Also very important is that due to tax structure, trade policies that disregard local labor in favor of multinational corporate benefits and the resulting weakening of labor's power to negotiate, wealth has stagnated by concentrating at the top. The wealth transfer you speak of, doesn't really exist. What you're implying is that a burger flipper at some fast food franchise outlet should be making as much as a factory worker in Detroit should be making.

      @@marktube5732 it’s absurd you can’t comprehend what’s actually being done. I’m primarily correcting the narrative since he never stated education should be abolished. He said that in most cases, similar to Trump and Elon musk that the idea of school being a having a guaranteed return on investment is no longer the case. Please research recent commentary on the necessity of a degree in the professional world by Elon and Trump. There’s a general consensus (at least among the new generation, millennials and Z) that there are a lot of caveats involved with the US secondary education system in its current form that in some cases outweigh the implied benefits. We represent the opposite side of the spectrum so that there’s balance. Instead of being indoctrinated to blindly go to school at the age of 17/18 as if there are no risks in the corporate work place. The elephant in the room is that there are risk on both sides. And instead of reflecting to see which path one may align we completely eliminate the unpopular possibility of entrepreneurship due to its perceived “impossibility” by pessimistic/fearful individuals
      I’m gonna correct YOUR narrative. no one is saying buy his course. In fact he’s one of many channels who have Free resources on his page and openly states you do not need a course in order to learn however a course can streamline the process. I’m sure you’re away that the country is NOT full of independent thinkers so independent research on things is a foreign concepts to them and they need their hand helps.
      I didn’t buy a course. Trial and error is life’s biggest lesson

    Potentially successful people drop out of college because they have specific leverage and they already have something going.
    They're not successful BECAUSE they dropped out, they're successful because they're smart. But these guys make it seem like dropping out is what makes you successful, which is the most boring & dangerous correlation =/= causation situation. Don't drop out just because you're lazy, it's a dumb move.
