I always thought going to college straight out of high school was wrong. You can get a Masters or PHD in something and find out you absolutely hate the industry. It's so much better to find out what your good at/ passionate about and then pursue the degree towards that. I found out I have a passion for finance. I didn't even think about finance as an option during my "college age."
everyone knows that. The issue is finding what you are passionate about. For the vast majority of people, that takes time. You cant be expected to make a decision on the rest of your life in high school. You need time. And heres the kicker. The more time it takes, that time is all lost. It is like a chess player who started out as a kid vs a chess player who started out when they were 20. The difference in time makes all the difference. Even career wise. So the issue is not college or trade school, or picking the wrong college, it is understanding the right amount of time needed to make a decision on what you like to do.
Confirmation bias at its finest.
Comments like these are why people need to be in higher education
@@matthewsaunders4820 ive got a degree in aerospace engineering and i love planes but the work i do fkn sucks

I had all sorts of work experience in my field (IT), but, without a piece of paper (degree), no HR department wanted to talk to me. As soon as I completed my Computer Science degree (with honors), the interviewers came calling.
The degree just verifies a level of training. The interview determines the skillset....
Well ,the system is rigged like that from the top down!!!
If you had the skills could you have started your own business
known many BS/BA emps that couldnt tie a shoe!
A degree just shows employers you have the ability to start something and finish it. I have mind and it was a great investment. I feel proud of my education and my experience getting it.
@@aware24 it culls the herd of applicants!
REMOTE FOR LIFE. NO WAY IM GOING INTO THE OFFICE. NO NEED.
Amen to that!!! Me too!
Life gets scarier and scarier
I'm hoping kids might be prompted to look into trade schools, places where they can learn valuable skills and secure employment that pays a liveable wage without having to go into debt.
Exactly. I got a college degree but plan on going back to the local technical college to become an LPN.
@blk1735 That's a great plan 👌🏾 Once you are an LPN it maybe easier for you to switch to being a RN.
My nieces are looking to become nurses too.
Or we could fund education like the country did in the 1970s and before. The nation has a shortage of teachers, nurses, doctors, and dentists.
Here we go with the trade schools again lol as if trade schools is the end all be all
A college degree is useful for in demand jobs don’t let them fool you. Many of the people in managerial positions hold post graduate degrees. This guy in the video is down playing college when it is still very important. Every body on this panel including Al Roker and Craig Melvin all have college degrees. If you’re a racial minority it’s extremely important to get a bachelors degree and even a masters degree to give yourself a nice shot at upward mobility
I wholeheartedly agree and I'm very happy w/ my post graduate degree.
Yeah, many new jobs don't need a college degree, but most jobs you would want do need that degree.
It really depends on the degree. If you’re not getting a STEM degree or maybe a finance degree, then you’re wasting money on a college degree…
nope
There’s definitely a concerted effort by the media to push this narrative that “you don’t need a college degree” meanwhile every single person saying it has a degree 🤔 makes you wonder what the true intent behind it is? I believe they want to dumb down Americans, extract cheap labor to increase profits.
If a company is paying you to do a "test" or "some work" before offering employment, just know that is their way to get cheap labor out of you and not pay you a full salary and is under no condition to actually hire you full time. Instead, decline it and ask them more sales questions that put the ball back in their court to make them decide faster. "Oh ok great. I'm not able to do this test/work example you want however I do want to ask if there is anything that you currently have doubts about my ability to perform in this role?" Even if they say no, that's better than giving them free/cheap work instead of just committing to hiring immediately.
Lastly, when it comes to remote work he's bang on the money about all the opportunities behind closed doors meaning you should be networking to ask about those roles and bring value through conversations so that you don't just have to apply for the jobs. Most people apply, a real pros network since everyone does just that.
OH, and understand this. 2024 is going to absolutely change how we apply skills we need to learn because AI is about to dramatically accelerate what is needed and you want to start learning to make your own workflow with AI tools so that you can bring that up in conversations since it will be a major norm.
Well said!
Great insights!
History repeats itself. An Influencer is no different than the kids who wanted to be the next NBA or NFL star. Less than 1% will acquire independent wealth and even fewer will become a household name. My advice, look to the companies where “influencers” are going to spend their money. Just like the companies who sold overpriced mining equipment during the gold rush.
They might not get wealthy, but many are able to support themselves with their RUclips, Patrion, etc channel.
@@blk1735 That's true, but most young people are pursuing that path thinking that they'll get wealthy like their favorite influencer. Very few actually realize that they'll end up working their butts off to make consistent content while only pulling in 40-60k net. All of that while also dealing with the expenses associated with being self-employed, which includes having to navigate an income that constantly fluctuates. Suddenly, going to trade school, earning a certification, or getting an associates/bachelors to acquire an in-demand skill set doesn't seem so bad.
Mrs Jane The Bitcoin Trader is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every week with her new strategy.
Wow I' m iust shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Jane thought I'm the only one trading with her
She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade my self.
She's really amazing with her skills..she changed my 0.5btc to 2.1btc
I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs Jane,
I think she is the best broker I ever seen.
I still wonder how she gets her analysis, I got profit of $28, 609 with a capital of $4000 in 16 days of trading with her
I'm 55, 100% remote, 6 figures but hopefully won't work much longer. Things have change too much. There's zero fun in work now.
There’s also less drama when working remotely 😉
@@aishariel9924
I need some drama.
It's just task after task after task.
An Orwellian dystopian existence of nothingness.
@@chrislim7976shesh. Sounds like you like the office. I'm 29, earn $120k, fully remote. Love it! Many of my tasks are working with upper management in meetings. But I get to hang with my dog, hang with friends, work away from home in different locations/states. Hated the office. Depressing to go there and then the commute. Naw. Ain't for me.
@@djm2189 Do you work as a data analyst?
@@djm2189
If by office you mean actually interacting with people and society in the context of work then yes.
Sheesh.
If everyone is an influencer who is left to be influenced ?
Your mother.
People that lose their money to constant scams. It's a larger amount of people than you think.
Job market gonna be the same in 2024 as it was in 2014 as it was in 2004. It's not what you know but who you know. People hire their friends/family, nepotism is very big. I'm ok if you hire family for a family business. But it becomes inherently unfair when your kids are 'artists/models' just cuz you were one back in the day. But your kids have ZERO talent. If they are good at it, then ok. But yeah a lot of ppl sleep their way to the top. A lot of ppl miss out on jobs due to bigots, sexists, racists, & preferential treatment.
The world in terms of the job market is 110% CORRUPT! Good work if you can get it. You know that saying! IF YOU CAN GET IT! If it was fair we would not have the homeless and unemployment rate we have currently. ALSO people are UNDEREMPLOYED, underpaid, and working 10 jobs/side hustles and STILL scraping by! BARELY! Maybe hire more ppl FULL TIME so they don't have to work 10+ jobs to cobble a life together, and pay a LIVING WAGE. Affordable housing is nice too. So kids can MOVE OUT and start families. They keep talking about low birth rate, less future workers. YEAH CUZ THEY CAN'T AFFORD ANY! LOL They can BARELY PAY FOR THEMSELVES!!!! IDIOTS!!!!!!
Thank You.....absolutely thank you, as a young person in the workforce...realistically live on your own without a room mate...and then you are not paid your worth.
Sheeeeeeeeeeesh, AMEN to that one 💯💯💯
WHAT Americans EXPECT:
1. Livable wages for any job of no less than $33/Hour and up + pay must rise by 3% faster than inflation and cost of living!
2. Affordable single family home under $50,000 like before 1950 and no property taxes of extortion
3. Work / life balance of 3.5 days at work and 3.5 days off in a row. More benefits to promote family time, health and creative freedom.
4. Restoring God in every aspect of himanity so agape love and holiness can be restored.
……SO HAPPY to have retired at 50 in 2021!!!
I’m planning to retire in the next 3 -5 years not too much older than you…looking forward to it. I’ve had experience working with 25-35 year olds…this younger generation…. 😬 No thanks! 😅
@@Becky_Cal I don’t have children (never wanted any), but it occurs to me that Gen X (our age group) are the parents of these worthless 20-30 years olds!! What did Gen X parents do to these kids to make them have ZERO work ethic, no social skills (they don’t even look you in the eye). I guess Gen Xers gave them too many 11th place trophies, coddled them, and never taught them the value of money?! 🤷🏼♂️🤔
A college degree exhibits a level of discipline on the students part. It demonstrates that they applied themselves to a task. They cleared the first (high school) and the second hurdle in life.
True but the cost is ridiculous.
Community college is pretty cheap and can get you an associate degree and about 60-70% towards a bachelor degree for free or almost free depending on what your state offers.
Proud of being right 61% of the time Linkedin?
I don’t know what jobs he’s looking at cause all the job openings I see require Degree, Certification, Experience & your first born 🙄They require more & still does not cover the cost of living 🥴
Im biting my tongue at "influencer classes" we need to terminate this trend ounce and for all. Bring back vo-tech and shop class
This is a change , my whole life if you did not have a bachelor degree recruiters for companies not even look at you for a position. I remember a temp agency telling me becouse I do not have a bachelor degree don't even think about $ 12 dollars an hour. That why I went into the service and hold an associate from a trade school. I'm glad to see the change not every one can do 5 plus years of college.
Backdoor Remote is very real.
College isn't worth it anymore unfortunately.
If you succeed and find a job, then you are now stuck in a corporate culture; paying off massive debts and wanting to quit after 6 months due to burnout.
If you fail in finding an adequate job, then you have to apply for forbearance, followed by an income based repayment plan. This typically pushes your initial 10yr plan into a 20+ year plan.
People do not have the resources to make extra payments on their debt and they don't even have the resources to save. The average kid graduating from college has to come up with a bare minimum ($63,000) per year in order to make median rent, energy, food, fuel, and student loans payments. That's NOT including savings or fun money.
These kids are being turned into indentured servants.
15 years on avg to pay back BA degree student loans says a lot about how kids aren’t inspired for college anymore
Yep, only the dumb ones or those that have enough parental resources to do so.
My own sister signed on for a 5 year bachelors degree in the Interior Design program. Her total will be $144,000 at 9%.
I tried to speak softly about what she was doing and told her that it's going to be difficult to pay this money back with interest and all the job positions she was looking at had anywhere from 50 to 400 applicants. She said, "I'm two steps ahead of you!"
Fast forward 2 years and she didn't know that she has to pay taxes on her program internship in Georgia and she's having a massive amount of cognitive dissonance.
Being pampered children is the reason they sign onto these loans. They literally think that they don't have to pay anything because they've gotten everything else for free in life. Gen Z is the apology tour for Gen X parents and they act like it too.
People should study in Europe - its free
I can tell you, EDU is very important. Everytime I read, I have always learned something. The more you learn, the more you know.
You don't have to go to private school ( very expensive ). You can use Community College as a base to save money.
No matter what these clowns says, if you are in professional work, you need college degree or higher. Companies may hire you, but will let you go first during hard time. Plus your colleagues won’t have same respect.
But if you want to be plumber, just get high school diploma and license.
$50 for a pitch (which could actually get used with a client) -- hayle no. Hire me first and then I'll do the work. I could understand tests and mock brief creation, but definitely not a full-blown pitch that you get paid pennies on the dollar for.
Who else is tired of listening to Roth’s, Stein’s and Berg’s?
Another thing he didn't mention is a lot of companies now do tuition reimbursement, so you technically don't have to pay for college anymore if you're willing to stick with a company for a while.
Degrees are free in Europe
College degree is still needed. Just get a useful degree and don't overpay for it
nope
It’s not anymore. Ppl making millions a year just selling feet pics 😂
I went to a technical school. Got certified in IT stuff but didn't have enough work or pay post-graduation to keep the certs I earned, active!
They have to get renewed every few years! And the exams that are required to take are crazy expensive...💲💲💲💲
Still considerably less than college degrees -- but for someone who isn't working steadily year-over-year, with a high salary, it can COST to upkeep those certs.
This. My degree helped me more than double my salary; it opened so many doors.
Dont over pay, get a degree you're passionate about, and ADVOCATE for more state funding for higher education.
The country is experiencing a national shortage of nurses, teachers, social workers, and doctors. We need to invest in higher education so folks aren't $120,000 in debt their first year as a physician
Learn a trade...start a business
Impossible to do now without taking on debt
80% of business startups fail and Americans are now debt slaves!
Get a masters degree they said 🙄
My prediction for 2024 is that LinkedIn’s job search feature will still be broken and as bad as it is now.
My job has dropped the college education requirement for management after having to let go a few managers that had college educations and that are incompetent.
Oh my god. What horrifying advice. Yeah the 20% of employers that don't require a college degree are the absolute lowest wages in the country. Community colleges are amazing and affordable. I went to one had an incredible experience and was accepted into a Master's program soon after. Missing college you're also missing out on free services (counseling, food banks, cooking lessons, job fairs, not to mention so many opportunities to try out careers & network).
Some Entry level legal assistant jobs do not require degrees, depending on the firm.
Your absolutely right! The community colleges are worth going to especially if it’s a local college and transfer to your state college, will keep tuition costs down tremendously. Another avenue is seeking corporations that offer tuition reimbursement. I worked at a large hospital corporation in New York & got my associates & bachelor’s degree by using their tuition reimbursement program. They reimbursed up to $20,000 for your bachelors degree and $20,000 for your masters degree. I don’t have any college debt at all after taking advantage of this benefit. Zero college loans! If there’s a Will there’s a way! 😊
Its free to study in any public university in Europe
This is Super Great!!! Thank You!! I Am So Glad I saved to "watch later"!!!100%
We don’t need RUclips creators… we need plumbers, electricians, etc….
this was absolutely no BS interview straight to the point thanks!
We need less influencers
A job don't require a degree, but, you still need college edu to improve your knowledge. Your knowledge lift-up your life and people around you.
These morning hosts are so out of touch with the times and where money is at lol
I would love to pay your bills lol.
I’m here for the leather pants❤
These tv people sooo out of touch
1:37 a glorified associate level job!
Informative
Phenomenal
There are smart people who choose not to get into debt. Employers are finally figuring this out.
Yes !! Job seekers should earn something for their time.
We need tradespeople.
No matter what, higher learning is important. Please stop discouraging people from pursuing a college degree
I've a STEM degree and its a waste. I would have been better off being a crane driver in construction or a supermarket manager....i still dont earn anywhere nears those jobs and i spent 10 years getting a STEM degree/masters and PhD and been 20 years working in STEM biggest USA company. Here in ireland you are better off doing a trade etc as Europe is oversaturated with PhDs in STEM
This reporting is just scratching the surface of these trends, but not actually digging deep into the cultural movements and WHY these trends are happening. Do you want to know WHY young people don’t want to go to college? WHY 54% want to be influencers? MONEY!!! College puts you in debt for way too long, and influencing is a way to “get rich quick”. If other jobs paid a live-able wage, you’d see that 54% go down. The working class is treading water out here and young people are just trying to figure out how to survive.
Public university is free in Europe. But still gets you low paid jobs
Well said
Many countries in the world are poor, because, they don' have edu. USA only have about 37% with college edu. This is low and very ashamed.
Europe has 75% people with university degrees as its free
Smart!!!! LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES
I know of a company near me that has been hiring for the same positions for years. Because of the continuous rising prices amongst other things, I guess society thinks they deserve better
i don't always get impressed in talk videos but this was a good one. they just made sense
So true. I have a bachelor's and master's degree and not even once employers notice that I had it. Not even a complement for the achievement. But at the end of the day is always good to have a degree if you are fortunate to get one. Good luck😊
What do you do now?
@@olympic-ass-eateronly fans
Well that really make sense to me.
Because a piece of paper is not a job skill, never was never will be. since cell phones videos who need news reporters telling only one side of the story, or just simply choosing to spin a narrative. with cell phones and bloggers, everyone sees and hear what actually happen as it happen. I have never liked Al Roker, and that Graig Melvin is as greasy as they come.
Degrees and education is free in Europe. I got paid €65,000 per year to do my PhD
Interesting
I had a job interview (that was a waste of time) but they paid a stipend for making it to the final round.
Times are changing
I’m not surprised with the remote work news. I thought thats how it should be.
Paying for interivew / work project should be mandatory. Otherwise it's free labor...
You say in LinkedIn, that LLM w AI is all the rage. Ive had mild training, been waiting for a year, & STILL not hired in wn LLM gig! What am I lacking here?
Most say they dont need training, have paid training, need no experience, etc. Is this going to happen in 2024??
What happens 10 years from now when those jobs on linked in that don’t require a degree disappear? Now you find yourself more settled down in life and no degree.
We also aren't going to require diversity either - Thank God!
61%? That's a lot more than 50/50.
I hate to be one to bring this up but I know someone that has 3 degrees and is still in the same position sooo do what you feel
I miner get new job at amc cinmas Florida
Something is going on that is really weird today. Seems management everywhere is narcissistic very abusive. Only a small group of people succeed with this. This started happening right after 9/11
Creator Economy = Unemployed 🤣
oh god you've had him on the show multiple times? stop
rename every college to Influencer University.
I am a Medical doctor who is in Pharmaceuticals. I didnt practice but I love my interactions with doctors when we introduce a new drug. I understand patient care and the language of Medicine. I love my job! and I earn a lot as an associate director of Medical Affairs
It is nearly impossible to predict the future for the entire economy. A Teenager’s Guide on how to Invest Like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger is a good book for new investors.
A star software or hardware developer is worth 30-50 normal ones!😊
if everyone wants to be a boss and just talk in talk show, who will be inventor, engineer , scientist, economist...etc. This type of mentality and culture will drive the creativity , productivity and competitiveness down hill.
Al Roker should be let go immediately. He should have been fired years ago. He offers nothing
Less pay, worse benefits, and more hours 😂 work sucks
Do you want your children to have college degree ??? YES or NO Why do you want children to downgrade their knowledge ???
EDU is the key to many doors. EDU is the passport to life. EDU helps you improve your knowledge. EDU is neccessary to more this country up and forward.
Speak over your life like SpongeBob. There is power in the words you speak. So be careful what you say.
Influencer/s??? 😂
The way how are things going even though any inflation by that logic should have dropped out of high school along time ago.
Where's all the smart people when it comes to the workforce there's a lot of idiots that have no experience bigger places without college degree
The college degree prediction is BS .. but also having dealt with duds with degrees I see the point
‘You’ll be flipping 🍔 burgers, for the rest of your life’ 😊 It could happen. For some people.
Sounds great. Especially if they are vegan burgers.
Al roker is disturbing
Good reporting and minimal unnecessary banter except the middle male anchor hand breaking his son’s hypothetical/potential career choice. Each child grows into an individual wanting their own identity. Your ego’s identity should not be his aspiration.
Not everyone knows mr beast
Or cares who he is

Funny how the "influencers" on TV getting paid millions of dollars just can't wrap their head around this creator concept. 🤦
Woke nonsense of a clown show with pods & culture ......its not about getting anything done or accomplished in a timely fashion anymore ....it has become a joke
It's called a scam and you've been found out Hahaha It's really funny how the old scam and abuse the young.
I hate it here
Such baloney! Education is the best way to invest in yourself. Just don't get into debt and try to get a degree in a lucrative field. Your degree is always valuable! The higher you go, the more your degree matters.😏
