"$2000 in school books - which is a SCAM within a SCAM" truer words have never been spoken 😂😂😂😂
Lol unbelievable all that2 money for a dam book these people are crooks
Yeah when I went to U the average book was $15 and a really special one was $35. And I thought THAT was expensive!
It's absolutely a racket! 🤯
Shit most people will never even read those books.
Get the same book for less on Amazon lol
I had a worthless required Business Communications class...where the professor was in on a textbook scam. He had selected chapters from a textbook published by the university, priced it at $120 and required it for the class. These selected chapters came from an old book that you could buy whole on Amazon for about $10.
Education will get you a job, self education will make you rich. When I learned this it changed everything for me, went from broke to nice living with my internet businesses. Invest in yourself no matter your age.
Good to see your hard work pay off. Keep grinding!
I'm Jack's Nipples ye deffo a good think to ask
This is also my path!
Best piece of advice I can give, focus on 1 skill you want to learn that you believe can make you 6 figures and stick to it for 6-12 months. Give it all you got and don’t be distracted by shiny objects. This is exactly what I did, but it took me a few years to understand it, I got a few vids on my channel that might help the few of you asking how. Like I said self-education and discipline is what defines success in any business.

Spent $1,500 to get my CDL-A at the age of 21, worked at a company for 3 years making around $70k/year, lived with my parents and save most of my money, then I started my own trucking company now Im making over $100k/year. My cousin got a psychology degree from a UC over $40k in debt and works for me.

I did 4 years. Graduated with my bachelors in biology of science with Honors from FAU. I couldn't get a job that would.pay atleast 20$ an hour. So i studied for less then six months and got my roofing license and now making over 100k a year and not working every day.
I wasn't aware colleges do not pay taxes. This makes me absolutely sick. My student loans are earning $42 a day in interest. Absolutely disgusting.

No, colleges belong to the elites. Of course, they don't pay taxes. Harvard is skull and bones, so is Yale.
@@TheBandit7613 how
@@joeykabs1150 He doesn't have hundreds of thousands in savings.
He's flat out lying.
Specifically because anybody with that much of a golden egg wouldn't have it in savings. There's tons of other places to have money where they aren't losing money based solely on inflation alone.
A savings account is almost always low yield, the target inflation is 2% in the US. Anything in a savings account is literally going down in value. Also banks are only insured up to $250,000 so anything more than that in a bank account is just stupid.

I want to know how we can hold colleges accountable. I have 2 children in college right now. 80% of their classes are ONLINE. Not only that, there are NO Professors involved. They are basically teaching themselves for $23,000 a semester!
Ouch. I feel ya
For a piece of paper and a resume entry. First job after college is when you really start to learn in chosen field... I wouldn’t do college these days... but you have to be sensible and strategic which they don’t teach in high school or college.
Boy is your family getting the shaft!!!
Ha it’s your fault tho should have looked into it more.
Alot of colleges are teaching yourselves in the first place. Trust me most teachers are ass who know thr topic nut can't teach to save their family.
This video is even more relevant during the lockdown. College is unneccesary, internships and work experience is still needed. But College is not needed.

Tuition has doubled, but I dont get paid double what I did when I started.
Funny how these schools that teach and preach socialism, love capitalism when it comes to them making money.
Preach it‼️‼️
we have socialism in our capitalism, they aren't two different things, in most countries they are intertwine. In you didn't know
Bingo!
@@namenotfound8747 Really?
My undergraduate alma mater is like that. Several professors there have made the news with statements or incidents that are outright socialist, communist, or just plain crazy--but they sure don't mind hitting the alumni up for money.
The last financial figures I saw indicated that it costs about $75,000 per year--but that's OK, because almost everybody is on some kind of scholarship or student assistance. That makes it fair and equitable.
Plus, for the elitists among us, they still have Greek fraternities and sororities.
***Note added 20190820: And they now have a female president.
Since I graduated from college, I have been an advocate against going to college. It is a waste of money and time, and it is the biggest scam of all time.
Me too! I received two bachelors degrees (business and computer science), and I don’t need any of it for my current job. Employers won’t even look at me for technical jobs (due to no experience or certification). I’m pissed that I wasted time and money ($55,000 and now $80,000 after interest)!!
So very, very true!
rmisionero indeed
It's true yet it's a mistake as well.. For you to be able to work, the employers will still be selective by seeing the grades, degrees, and experiences obtained during those days you are in colleges. Yes, in the final selection phase, the degree may not actually play any significant part, but it's the 'gateway' for you to pass 1st filtration.
Unless you're one of the few geniuses. Please don't include them in this discussion since they won't be paying at all thanks to scholarships.
@rmisionero | What did you get a degree in and are you working now? If so, doing what?
College is required for professions such as engineering, medicine and the law. Trades such as auto mechanic, plumber and electrician can be covered through apprenticeships and on the job training. Oh I forgot, America considers being a 'tradesperson' as low level until you need one!
Yup. And majority of public schools and teachers say “Go to college” meanwhile a mechanic earns so much more than them.
People turn their nose up at so many good paying blue collar jobs (good union jobs in northern states) that start off making more than the crappy standard 45-50k office job basically fetching coffee. Plus your trade is portable easier to start your own company when you are ready.
Trade people are more way more valuable then English teachers, psych majors, hell maybe even athletes
I'm not even sure it should be required for those professions anymore: all the knowledge can be learnt online from the best in the world, yes, you could have in person exams and practical lessons, but then it would be very similar to a trade, just longer... No reason to pay that much or have to sit in class for hours everyday

I’m 18 and my older brother always told me that college is a scam and most of the people that earn a degree aren’t smart enough to get a job on top of their 100k debt. I just graduated from highschool and I’m heading to lineman school in 3 weeks to learn a trade and the starting salary ranges from 80k - 120k a year. After I save up I’m starting a business or investing in something that I think will make me money. I’m one step ahead of the game with no financial responsibilities and a long life to live. This video should be an eye opener to many high schoolers that think they’re obligated to go to college.
You won't get paid anywhere near that as a starting salary but yeah college can be a scam depending on where you want to work
@@lasenyo7705 not to mention you have your apprenticeship and certifications to go through. This level of pay is attainable in 5-10 years depending on how you play your cards.

I’m not trying to shit on you, I think you have a great idea of what you want to do and you sound like a smart kid, just make sure your expectations are within reality or else you’ll be that guy that can’t stop living in the past saying “oh I could have made this” or “I should have done that”

What I don't understand is why I need to take English 101 or Humanities to learn how to become an Ultrasound Technician or a Car Mechanic? Why do I need to waste 4 years of my life when I can learn the skills essential to my trade in 2 years or less? It's about learning a skill so I can earn money to live. Academia for academic sake is great if you are training to become a teacher that will train the next generation.

Courtney Durham no good reason. College needs to be a place for scholars and that’s it. Everything else can be replaced with trade specific schools and apprenticeships.

I'm dead right now XD
Unfortunately employers of skilled labor are wrapped up in it too. Many of them won't hire you without a degree.
I drove that truck for years. I would much rather go to college. Truck drivers don't make as much as you think. Getting 2 days off a MONTH is not a way to live.
@@Pr3ct What driver do you know that's making 90 grand? If you're an owner Op, yeah you can make that much, but you've got 40-50 grand worth of expenses. I was a driver for years. No thanks.
I live in California, and some employers are actually asking for a bachelor's degree in order to apply for receptionist positions- it's sad. These positions do not pay above 30k btw. I've seen them listed on Craigslist and Indeed.
I have a 4 year degree, and I don't regret it, but I recommend you learn a skill.
A degree *helps* employ you, but a skill makes you valuable.
Good Vibes, good advise, I can say that because I have a bachelor degree in science, license electrician and plumber make more than I and no debt.

Best education system is relationship between older experienced worker and apprentice.
I agree, but not everybody have those family or social connections. It used to be that if your father is in a certain profession, you can expect to be in the same profession. With the education system, some less fortunate folks can have a shot at learning a trade without the social connections.
One of the pros of nepotism
Depends on what your doing. Some jobs, especially and math and science based jobs, need a formal education first.

It stopped being about education when it turned into a for profit business. Years ago we dropped our son off at a college campus in PA along with thousands of other kids... as we were unloading his personals I overheard one of the senior staff members remark ( half of these people will drop out within a year ) it was like she was saying we have your money now you can go.

Kids go to college to learn what people before them used to learn in high school.
I agree, and I have a B.A. and an MA, but from long ago when it meant more than now. The education helped me tremendously but the degrees didn't ever help me professionaly.
In fact, it was generally held against me, by bosses that were afraid I could replace them. High School used to be "high", that is quality, not non-sobriety. Now it is a warehouse for students. I recommend that younger students consider the trades, welding, plumbing, electrician, etc., They pay well.
Now this is a statement with which I can generally agree.

Maybe you should've gone to a good college
perhaps college is for people who don't know what they want to do - people who do, drop out of college, as it's waste of time for them
I agree 99%. That one percent is because u get some industry contacts and some very small resources can't be found on Google that u can get from universities.
Of course rich and powerful or rich and powerful wanna-bees have excellent reason to go to top ivy league school - to make connection with other rich and powerful. That's the real reason to attend top level college such as harvard etc.

Not the same because you need to develop soft skill such as leadership, communication, teamwork, or problem solving and you do that in school. learning in the internet is just showing you have educational knowledge but it doesnt show how you apply it for a real job.

Leaning online is not the because back then we donT have internet in the 80 oR 90.

Everything is corrupt these days...
Well to add to your depression I’m a Mexican construction worker , when I came to the US they bumped me up ONE FULL YEAR in HS after taking a test, they said I had about 30% English (it’s taught In Mexican schools by default) and I was way ahead of American students in everything. Moreover I know Mexicans that have taken their kids back to Mexico and guess what , lo and behold it isn’t rare for a US student to be DEMOTED one full year because of underachieving...in fact I know two kids personally. The US education system is a joke... and college a huge scam. Now that said, my son is in college now to become a robotics engineer ... he was a math gifted student in Hs. I only agreed to him going to college because I don’t want him building houses like I do but I’m afraid of him not learning anything and struggling to get a job. We are paying cash for his college tho , to hell with those loans. Pray for us
The problem begins in early public education for most of us that weren't born with a silver spoon in our mouth. By the time we "graduate" from high school, we should be way more prepared to tackle more advanced subjects in college but we are not. I once worked as a math tutor in a community college branch on a poor part of town. The majority of the people I helped couldn't even add positive and negative numbers...and they either graduated HS or got their GEDs to enter community college. What does that tell you? It tells you that most teachers from K-12 don't care.
@@BeNice3525 Dave, I believe you 100%! When I was in middle school (in Texas) my cousins from Mexico used to laugh at the math homework I had when they used to come to visit. These cousins were many times younger than me. I didn't understand that for years especially since the USA is the richest country in the world and Mexico, without trying to be disrespectful, is no where near that. But I have a theory that I think its worth looking into. Tell me what you think. Many decades ago, public education in America was DELIBERATELY dumbed down. Why, because they didn't want too many prepared and qualified American citizens for corporations to have pay them good salaries and benefits. Instead, they preferred smarter foreigners who worked harder, worked longer hours, complained less and did it all for less pay. Same reason manufacturing was shipped over seas. The only thing I disagree with you Dave is what you said, "I don't want him building houses like I do". He is your son and have every right to wish for him to do this or that, but I ask you, what is wrong with building houses? Did you know that there are many immigrants, like yourself, that have prospered in this country and even become wealthy by working with their hands. You yourself just stated that you are paying cash for your son's college education. That tells me that you make more than the average college graduate. How many college graduates are in debt for being pushed by their high school counselors to go to college at any cost and pay off their loans once they graduate? Instead of telling some of them the truth, that they weren't college material, and encouraged them to study a trade instead? They misled them! I took wood shop and metal shop in middle school. By the time I got to High School, the only trade class was basic auto mechanics but shortly after I graduated, they did away with that too. So the new push was for American kids from public schools to go to college regardless if they could afford to do so or not, or worse, whether they qualified to go to school or not. The loans would take care of it. Look at this country now. I've been working for IT for a few years now, and though it pays ok, I don't think I want to do it forever. For one, they expect you to master more and more new technology that keeps changing by the minute but does not necessarily pay you more for it. Plus it isn't healthy to sit down for 10 hours behind a desk each day and going home too mentally tired to want to do anything else. I'm am actually in the process of practicing small drywall repair to make some money on the side and who knows, maybe starting a little business doing it. In construction, you get a workout while you are making money. And if you are smart, like you, you make a darn good living at it. The problem in this society Dave is that blue collar work, including working with your hands, was stigmatized and became unattractive to young students. That is why my dad, like you with your son, with a good intention in his heart, probably made a mistake in telling me to go to college and not do drywall like he did. He probably just went by Spanish TV campaign ads that encouraged Hispanics to go to college, or encourage their kids to do the same. So I say again, how did that turn out with the student loan crisis we face now in America?
the system was built by the SmallHats designed to corrupt western civilisation and its working, we need to WAKE UP to the zionist regime

It is what it is, all that money 💰 take it and invest it in yourself, unless you’re going to be a doctor or something like that, you’re better off taking the money and invest it in your own company or your new home, everything else you can learn it for free, all the information that you need to be successful is available for free, it’s up to you to read and take the time to learn, just got to have the discipline to do it, that all.
Personally, College was a massive waste of time and money, I’ve learned way more after College by reading and even by subscribing to good channels here on RUclips, it only takes the will to do it.
You can get a similar education from the public library and all you have to do is read. You can get the same books students use from the secondary market for a fraction of the cost of the new books. You pay a large tuition to listen to a instructor talk about their son who gets traffic tickets.

I was magically transformed from "inexperienced college kid" to "overqualified veteran." Fortunately, I was a pretty good student in high school and received enough scholarship and grant money to not actually have to borrow a dime until my junior year, so I was out of debt by the time I was discharged and didn't owe a crushing amount in any case...but it still wasn't worth it.
Hold colleges accountable to the money. Make them guarantee the student a job in their field of study once they graduate or get a refund. This will fix it
How to solve the college debt and high tuition scam that colleges and government working together have played on the taxpayer and students. Democrats came up with this scam to make the government run student loan department paid for by taxpayers. IT'S TIME TO MAKE THE COLLEGES NOW WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND ASSETS TAKE BACK THIS DEBT THE SCAMMED. IT'S TIME THE COLLEGES STOP THEIR SCAM AND LOWERED THEIR FAKE TUITION PRICES. They keep building huge buildings and after decades of yearly fake tuition raises are now worth billions of dollars.
IT'S TIME STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS GO AFTER THE DEMOCRATS FOR CAUSING THIS JUST SO THEY COULD CONTROL COLLEGES, INFORMATION, STUDENTS, CURRICULUM, AND VOTES. Every year the colleges raised their tuition to the outrageous costs and now colleges are worth billions and all scammed by colleges, text book publishers, contractors and every one involved along with Democrat politicians. When anyone saw it would unnecessarily put students in great debt and then raised the objection to this high debt and overpriced tuition the Democrats screamed they were against education. The debt is now close to $2 Trillion dollars of debt held by the government student loan departments and will now bankrupt the country if not paid for. Students are shackled with tens of thousands of dollars of debt and can't pay it back nor can they buy a house with this extra debt on their shoulders. IT'S TIME TO MAKE THE COLLEGES who are NOW WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND ASSETS AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY THAT HELPED THEM TAKE BACK THIS DEBT THEY SCAMMED. IT'S TIME THE COLLEGES AND THE DEMOCRATS STOP THEIR SCAM AND LOWERED THEIR FAKE OVERPRICED TUITION AND FRAUDULENT INFLATED COSTS.
IT'S TIME STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS GO AFTER THE DEMOCRATS FOR CAUSING THIS JUST SO THEY COULD CONTROL COLLEGES, INFORMATION, STUDENTS, CURRICULUM, AND VOTES. It will take four generations to pay this back unless the colleges are given this debt that they caused with the Democrats and their scam.Scream at every Democrat who made colleges inflate their fake tuition costs and bankrupt students, parents and families

Stop the student loan guarantees by the government. That's one of the main drivers of increasing tuition.
This is stuff I've said for over twenty years.....Glad you've used your platform to blast this out to the digital universe for everyone. Hopefully, some will benefit and learn from this.
I think the solution is simple:
1. Make it illegal to require a degree for a job out side of medicine.
2. Tax the University
3. Set the limit on how much a university can charge students.
4. Chage the recognition of degrees to be based on core class credits not overall credits earned. And make it illegal for university to force student to take non-core classes inorder to be qualified for higher core classes.
Honestly we just need to end government subsidies and end government student loan forgiveness. These two things are the reason universities can still charge absurd amounts of money and people still go. Price caps would just lead to universities closing instead of lowering prices.
you got my vote
Outside of medicine? What about the sciences? Or engineering?
Thank you! Universities are killing us in setting so many modules that we don't really need in a particular course that results in us spending more time on unnecessary staff and them receiving more money.
@@AmazingStoryDewd I'd agree that certain fields need to have more time and certification.
Almost everything I learned in college I had to unlearn. So much time and money wasted. Self educate! Not only will it take less time, it also is more exciting and practically free.
Well u go to college to give urself in-depth knowledge n training. Like nuclear tech. Worst part is people r going to college hoping to find meaning to their future since all theyve done up til then is going to school.
So if u're going to college n taking up a course but at the end of the course u dont build ur career on cutting-edge knowledge, then yeah its a waste of money. If u decide to become a plumber or car mechanic, is that mechanical degree worth it over what u can learn online? Its easy to say no looking back, but if ur degree gets u a job designing cars/ planes/ ballistics or country's infrastructure, is that degree worth it over "studying online"?
That said USA's college fees r fucked up, my degree costed like....20k USD n i'm not paying my entire paychecks in debt every month.
@@zuhairs7929 @MidnightFlower13 is right. The whole "self-educate" idea is overrated. There are learning gaps, and not the same access to resources. It does work to an extent, but you will not work alongside people with similar interests and expert instructors. Self-education is only really beneficial to people with a really solid foundation. They know the theory, its applications, and more.
MidnightFlower13 you’re the idiot. The point of a lot of these comments about “self-learning” is to research and demonstrate knowledge on a particular area, which can be done outside the constructs of 100k in student debts and a piece of toilet paper you can hang on your wall. There is very little you learn in college that cannot be learned at a library or online for free. The point is, is that having a bachelor’s degree as the bare minimum is useless, because it doesn’t necessarily mean that person can actually apply the worthless memorization they learned in college. You learn through on the job experience, not in a class. The businesses are starting to find this out, and find that college students are just useless idiots without any critical thinking skills.
I hear what u r saying that a degree coating 100k is a gamble in itself n I agree with that. As stated earlier, my point is that college don't just offer lectures tho, college is supposed to be the place to offer experience without hurting anyone. U can't self-study n build a Burj-Khalifa, or design a Tesla model S.
U mentioned self-study to do business, u r absolutely right, u don't need a degree to have a stable job or start a business. In fact young entrepreneurs now r people who went to college for a science n maths degree AND self-study business.
I would like to point out that in Germany n in Malaysia, we can get a decent degree without selling a kidney. It's only very cutting-edge courses or prestigious degrees that we need to go to the USA to use ur facilities or network with corporates.

Too many people don't have the tools to sift useful info from bogus info. Go through a University and earn a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Then graduate into the real engineering world and be astounded at how much more there is to learn in your field. Yet you have jerkoffs expounding on how the last Falcon X launch smashed against The Dome in the sky and exploded. Yet these dingbats never had a single day in University level Physics or Astronomy classes. So how can they know well established scientific truths?

THANK YOU! I tell people this all the time. I did the exact same thing. I then took a break to go work after getting my 2 year degree. Then when I was 25 I was eligible for full financial aid (the govt stops taking into account your parents income at that age for eligibility) and was able to transfer and get a BS from a university completely for free. No debt, and payed less then $10k for the first 2 years I attended my community college.
That's excellent sound advice. Community colleges can really help ease the financial burden of paying for a 4 year university, or college. Don't forget too that there's The College Level Examination Program (CLEP), which is a program that enables students to earn college credit for introductory-level courses by achieving satisfactory scores on subject-specific tests. If you achieve a certain score, then you can receive college credit without having to spend money taking more classes. It's another GREAT way to cut the expenses of pursuing a 4 year degree.
I'm doing that right now. On top of that, I got my first year of C.C. free because of financial aid (apparently my school was giving it away to everyone who was taking 12+ units because of a law in my state) so I get to save even more money. Yay for me!
And, financial literacy is not part of the education, so that the scam can continue unquestioned. Thank you for your free education Valuetainment!

If you stop guaranteeing student loans, the colleges will have to compete with each other and lower their prices or close their doors for good. The fact that anyone can get a student loan means that the colleges get a license to raise their prices all the time.
Exactly ...
The more money the govt give to the poor to dig them out of poverty.. The more greedy intities raise their prices. So the poor can never get out of poverty. These student loans give colleges license to steal from students in every way imaginable.

I went so far to contact the Title IX office at Cal Poly requesting assistance because no job recruiter would assist me with an interview for a career. Networking online and phone calls are a big waste of time. Retail stores have not hired me.
According to the faculty, I was told I would be seen as a desirable prospect when applying for jobs. Where’s my career?
College fraud victim,
Your biggest mistake was going to a cal state.
That's your problem for not looking at the job outlook for your career. It's your responsibility to do that research. You have no one to blame but yourself.
@@Legodude552 Harsh words, don't you think dude? How would you like to be in her shoes? And how do you know she didn't do her research? Don't be so quick on judging people before you know all the facts. That's one of the problems with this world. And what she's going through is what many college grads have gone through. BTW, skill trades are good path to a good career.
@@Mar-cs8ny What is exactly rude about what I said? If the truth is "harsh" then you can continue living on in denial. A college degree does not necessitate anything. Not money, not a job, not anything. It is YOUR responsibility that it ensures that when all is said and done. I mean you would think that someone who is taking out a loan for tens if not hundreds of thousands would think to look into such a matter and to think the rest of the American people are to scarf up trillions in tax payer money because people made poor decisions (LOL). Also, trades are bullshit. It is a pendulum before you know it people will be going into the trades left and right (with the help of the never ending advertisers for the practice such as yourself) and before we know it those "great wages" will hit rock bottom like they were only a couple decades ago because let's face it, they are rock bottom jobs. (Have fun breaking you back at 45!)
well said, i say just dont pay it!
I saw the writing on the wall after two years in college...didn't learn anything new, but I paid thousands! Yeah...it's a scam!
All depends on your major! Most are worthless and shitty, others are actually useful and will help you succeed. Not all colleges are bad. I wouldn’t ever go to a big college like the ones back east. They cost too much and are really worthless when you can get the same education elsewhere for cheap
My dad, who never went to college, yet had a genius i.q. was a very successful business man. He called college graduates - educated idiots. After going to university, as an adult, receiving my degree, and paying attention to how things were handled on many levels with staff and facility; it is a huge scam. Most do not want to do their job or care about the students. They are paying an going into great debt yet must teach themselves.
Unless you specialize, the degree is basically worthless. It will help you get a job over someone who does not but that is about it.
I knew then...what I know now, I would have gone to a trade school.
I’m 42. Never went to college because I saw 24 years ago what a joke it is. My friends are still paying off their debt. I must say some are doing well and the others don’t even work in the field they studied in but still owe the banks. Me am a mailman. I’m happy. I know I’ll never be rich but who cares. I never was raised with the mentality that money is the end all be all. The solution? I think. Tax the shit outta colleges and lower the tuition so that everyone has an opportunity to attend or start handing out massive full scholarships to people. I never understood how people get so gung ho over a college or college team. It’s like their raping you and your enjoying it. It’s a business like anything else. Biggest paying jobs in 10 years...... auto motive, Carpenter, plumber. Electrical engineer. All non college skills.
Actually, electrical engineer usually requires a college degree. The other 3 aren't necessarily, though.
I think you are confusing electrical engineers with electricians...
Electricians come to your house and fix/install wiring, electrical engineers are designing the grid that powers your entire city
Some may dispute or agree,but some overseas country's teach trade through High School without a college degree requiring student to follow this field to provide for a future family without debts! Its more if an American tradition.....greed!! Think of how many more things these debts can be used for....Ex: $1,500 for Emergency Room visit! Canadians have free health care!
lamakicker69 your right. I did confuse the two. Thank you
Shelia David most people in a trade don’t have a college degree...and there are high schools all over the US that are for teaching trades...it’s called a tech school
The 20yr old person who starts a business & works for 50-60hrs a week for 4 yrs on average will be so far ahead of the 20yr old who spends the same time in college graduating with a mountain of debt, 4 yrs less experienced and no job certain in many cases. Technology is the great equalizer in 2019 for the business owner. As a business owner, I'm looking the talent who is the "doer" not who has the "degree".
The absolute truth you posted.
Indeed the system is corrupt
Truth
The problem is when companies replace its citizens with H1B Visa workers and /or off-shore jobs. Then it becomes a race to the bottom. This is why the USA needs a border wall, very limited immigration and zero Visa workers.
well said Rick!
This is just an example of how virtually everything we've been told that will benefit us is actually designed to be used against you in the long run.
DJ M.I.A. nailed it
Exactly. Somewhere between the first grade and this point in our lives, we lost our damn minds. Do you remember before going to school how you used to ask your mother and father all of those crazy questions, and then you just stopped?
LMAO, we were woke and then they stick us in school to turn us into zombies. hahaha. i agree with you.
@Michael P yes Government is the Mafia!
Seemed pretty good. 34k debt and a 4 year degree/good times.
My college was not a scam. It's a scam if you are stupid enough to pick the wrong degrees. I paid $52,000 for my 4 year degree at an average state school and my starting pay was $91,000. Then the company I worked for paid $25,000 for my masters degree which bumped my pay up to 120k. I picked a degree in demand.. NOT a degree that makes me feel all fuzzy inside. I work 7 hours a day, make 120k, and spend the rest of my time all warm and fuzzy living life the way I want.
let me guess...computer science/engineering lmao.Thats what I did and now I'm making $75K out of school with ~35K in debt
I feel like an idiot for being in debt. I love my education experience and I can definitely say I learned and grew a lot in college, but I see friends who didn’t go to college and have more money or freedom because they’re not tied to a loan.
I feel dumb, too. You’re definitely not alone. I have 20,000 in loans and I dropped out.
spend more time in the working world, you will see college experience isn't a real life.

You will soon realize how important financial independence will shape your attitude and outlook on life.
The borrower is slave to the lender.
If you do not borrow, you are free from the chains. In fact, you can become the lender and make a living letting these millions of people borrow from you.
I’m fortunate that both my kids fell in love with being paramedics and so that meant they went to a local school for training. Both got hired into the work force easily and then with that income, they are taking correspondence course to get degrees needed for advancement.
The thought of getting wrapped up into the cost of universities today is financially traumatizing because of the debt load, or the dollar cost if paying cash. It’s sickening.
The internet is my university for all the reasons you state. Well done.
Great Story and cheers to you for allowing them to do that! You are a good man!
Also the fact that due to the stress and workload some students are suffering from mental issues and have committed suicide🥺
My perspective; just sharing - I have a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering and an MBA...best ROI in my life. It's not the degree, it's what you do with the degree. Choose wisely,...implement effectively! That said, you DO NOT need a college degree to be financially successful! Today's education system is out of sync, out of touch and OUTTA their mindS in terms of COSTS! On that, we agree! Thank you.
Victor Antonio well put! Thanks for sharing 🤘🏾
@Hippy(Bboomer) Yeah, I couldn't get through pre-calculus and can't do physical labor, so I deserve to be homeless with my liberal arts degrees and $66k in debt.
@@chocolatepancakes2722 If you took the time to learn what you could instead of cookbooking and going through the motion, took electives that applicable to your career from the teachers that actually took their job seriously, and make yourself marketable and interview-able then you will be fine. It may take some work and time to find a job, but it will pay off. I am 6 months into my career as an EE. I work in power electronics and control, and absolutely love what I am doing. I had to extend my job search to across the us, and had many dud interviews; however, I took each one of those as a learning opportunity, and it worked out in the end.
The worst part of the College system, besides the debt, is the lack of helping you transition from school to business. 7 months with a Computer Science degree in San Francisco, and still can't find a job... I know when I do, the 130k in debt I owe will go away pretty quickly with the high salaries here. But still... I wish that 46k per year I payed helped me more. That said, college was the best decision I ever made. GL finding high paying jobs without a college degree (unless you can demonstrate something amazing).
Rocket Boards I’m 19 with no college education and I just quit my job a couple of months ago working for a top producing real estate team earning 4-5k a month. College is a joke, I started a business and work half the hours and earn even more money from my business. I have a friend of mine that is 22 years old, absolutely no college education and he just quit his job making $80k a year for a better job making six figures. He has 0 college education. I’m 19, I will be making six figures in 2019. Don’t ever say “good luck finding a good job with out a degree”, that is quite funny. Most of the successful people I know don’t have college degrees. Typically the ones with college degrees are the ones struggling and stressing more than anyone I know. My previous boss, who owned the real estate brokerage makes several hundred thousand a year and he told me himself, “college isn’t what is important. The way you think is what will determine your success in life.” I could find a good paying within 2-3 weeks if I needed one. I would also apply to 70-80 jobs. You should be interviewing the company. They should be lucky to even have you working for them. They don’t teach the best way to think in college. They educate mentally, and that is it. I read regularly and my books only cost $10-20 a piece. It sounds to me like you didn’t make the best decision. If that is the best decision of your life, your kids are going to hate you when they become adults. Please don’t take offense, I’m only being honest. Im not someone to lie to you. You’re in control of your future. The decisions you make this year determines where you will be in life. You have it inside of you to be extremely successful financially if you choose to be. It’s your choice though, not your college degrees choice.
Keep bringing the TRUTH! We love it 🙏🏾🇺🇸🙏🏾
All that we really need are internships. Everything else is so unnecessary. All people that need specialized educations could go to specialized schools. Everyone else can and will learn most of their information on the job anyway, so why not just have internships?
Exactly
I always saw college people as having a serious lack of common sense whenever i hear them speak or write something
Whether or not you went to college there’s a lot of people without common sense everywhere
@Phillip Delgado not everyones a chef
uncle ankie common sense is not a subject that school teaches.
@Kent Horvath- that is not true. wasn't it Bill Gates who dropped out of college. Lots of over educated ass holes who went to college who can't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. Lots of unemployed college people. I have seen a lot of them in my life time. I have nothing against education, but any one who can read a book and have no moral conscience can become ultra successful. Many of the CEO's of today have no conscience. Greed and power and big fat egos is what spurs most of these people to the top , if you really think it is the top. Actually it is the top of the manure pile. IN the end, it all means nothing, because death has a way of being the big equalizer. It is what you put in your heart on this journey of life that is the only thing you are going to take with you when you die. If you are an atheist then that is too bad for you. It is your eternity that you are throwing away.
Common sense is called that so you can assume that it's common idk
4 years of college shouldn’t cost more than 10,000
@Emilio Chavez tuitions fee 😂
I went to CSULB in the 90s. It was $480/semester for a full load. A degree cost under $4,000 with tuition and some fees. Books were about $100/semester if you bought NEW books. Parking was $50/semester. I can’t believe how much it costs now...and it’s cheap compared to the UC system.
It's tough cause you also have to live on campus for 4 years. Even with no tuition, it can still rack up
You're right, if you live in Canada.
@@jsheav what if you go to university in a city you live in? Can you live with your parents and have them drive you to university, or drive yourself, or go by bus or train?
Thank you for bringing this injustice to my attention.
