HS pupil here. The vast majority of work would be better accomplished by workers who were much better trained with an apprenticeship. Skills learned ON THE JOB. It worked very well in the past when people's brains weren't flooded with fluoride and television. Colleges should be seen for what they are. Businesses trying to market products.

@SweetCaramel7983 College is on the way out. The military is a better education 100 times over and it doesn't cost you or your family an arm and a leg. The people getting the jobs now are the ones with military experience. Most college graduates aren't even smart enough to pick fruit or work at Mcdonald's.
Join the Navy if you want a great education. It enabled me to write my own ticket.
@DarrelfromZeeland No... the military doesen't cost you or your family an arm or an leg, ofcourse not... It can just cost you an arm or an leg quite literally
Here's what I got from this: The reason my education, which is starting to become more of a world language and music study, costs so much is because they made it easier for people to get in and pay for it with loans. My high grades are expensive because the actual idiots found a quick way to pay it off.
focus on the content, not the cost. Focus on doing what you love before thinking what will give you the most monetary reward. Believe me, it will keep you allot less frustrated.
Too many people are going to college for stupid degrees. Employers need to their lower standards and the government needs to find a way to get back manufacturing jobs.
@Harry182182 I got a stupid degree in clarinet, followed by a stupid degree in saxophone, and then I got a stupid master degree in oboe. Now i play in a stupid orchestra, teach at a stupid University, and teach a bunch of stupid kids in a private stupid school for stupid music. I only make a stupid 55,000 a year as a stupid self employed stupid musician (before orchestra/university pay). Thankfully I had stupid scholarships and a stupid assistant-ship for a stupid music degree I can afford.
Since tax cuts were financed with reduced investment in public education, schools raised tuition to cover the shortfall. Government guarantees enabled banks to make market-beating, risk-free investments as student loans. The rich, whose tax cuts caused the tuition raises in the first place, are disproportionately shareholders in these banks.
The result is this: The rich get tax cuts, dividends, and capital gains while the poor get debt, poorly-funded education, and 9% unemployment.
i totally did that i don't apply for scholarships because i think im not going to get a scholarship anyway and as a result my parents pay for my tuition now ill try to apply for them thank you Ana>D love this<3
the government backs a majority of the student loans, meaning they are pretty easy to get.
In a free market, if you walked into a bank or asked for a student loan, they would want to know what degree, prospects of actually getting a job in that market, etc.
The loan officer would make a decision on whether you would be able to pay that loan back.
Its funny they ask for more government intervention and ignore that it's meddling is what caused the market to go nuts.

If 200 people apply to a job and 10% of them went to ivy league schools and performed well , it's foolish to say that you will topple them with a public school degree unless you've outweighed them in every other aspect. Elitism is alive and well in America. We've encouraged a culture of debt for a class elevation and now the chickens have come home to roost.
On a larger scale, I'd like to see all lecture courses offered online for free as a hub of knowledge for anyone to use. This can be paid for through gov. grants, user donations, and in-video advertising to be highly profitable. Once this is done, an expansion of the CLEP system should be made. Many students show up only on test days or take courses merely to fulfill a degree. These actions would allow low income students a means of gaining a cheap education and degree.
We need to make the educational system more efficient. I'd like to see universities cut down the requirements for majors to courses that are relevant to one's degree. Students shouldn't need to take an acting course to become a biologist.

But I think a lot of students are taking out loans these days even though they don't actually need them to pay for tuition. They just need them to live on. I'm one of these people. I can't find a job, even a part-time shit job.
For me and a lot of others, we either take out a student loan or die in a ditch. Not everyone has parents to go back to.

@MrHav1k I know a guy who's like 25% Irish and is getting a full ride at a University because he applied to a website that offered scholarships to Irish people ... You just gotta get lucky finding random shit
IM GONNA FUCKING SHOOT A MOTHERFUKER IN THE FUCKING HEAD IF THE PRICE DOESN'T GO DOWN. FUCKING RICH FAGGOTY FUCKS HOLDING YOUR FUTURE HOSTAGE. FUCKING FAT CATS. FUCK RICH PEOPLE. SOCIALIZE THE GODDAMN SCHOOLS DAMN IT. FUCK!!!
@MrHav1k Do you even know why college is so expensive? It is because of all the government guaranteed money. The universities only make money by sucking on uncle Sam's titty.
Guys seriously check out international versions of textbooks, I bought one for one of my books that was 250 dollars and even though I can't sell it to my book store it was cheaper than even renting a book.
What I can't stand are the dreadful ass, inflated prices for books.IT's ABSOLUTELY A TRAVESTY WHEN SOMEONE PAYS ALMOST 200 dollars FOR A BOOK THAT IS WORTH 50 AND THEN WHEN YOU TRY AND SELL IT BACK, THEY WANT TO GIVE YOU 1/3 OF THE ORIGINAL PRICE
I agree that college is WAY to expensive, but I don't like the idea of going to a less notable school just because it is less expensive. In this economy anything that gets you an edge over other people is extremely important. Say 2 peoples resume are the exact same, but one graduated from a recognizable school and the other one from somewhere not to many people know of. Who has a better shot of getting the job? My dad hires people all the time and he says this is an edge.
A suggestion I haven't seen in the comments much is to look for scholarships at the local level and at the college itself. There is less competition for scholarships offered by local businesses and non-profits. All of my scholarships either came from groups/businesses in my small hometown or from my college itself. Don't bother with the scholarships from giant companies like Coca Cola or whatever as the competition is murderous. Find the local ones. Cheers.
My country of 1.3 million of the west indies give students many scholarships. In fact my school (one of the best ones) get a scholarship every five students. Also when you study here in the trinidad and tobago and other caribbean schools your tuition is paid fully once you get accepted.
College is expensive because it is subsidized by guaranteed student loans. Colleges don't care if students doom themselves to a lifetime of debt. As long as students can get loans, colleges will bleed students. The only way to bring down the cost of college is to stop guaranteed student loans. When that happens the student loan racket will collapse and colleges will be forced to cut prices. But not until then.
@AllNightDayDream Wait till this one collapses! Oh joy! (Insert Sarcasm Here) This is a mess. Go OWS, let's unfuck the world, including this wreck of an education system.
WOW, can you guys put together a course for high school juniors and seniors in how to select colleges, how to finance colleges, based upon what kids that age can dig, and what kids want to do in college? It would be an awesome video series! Include stufff like THIS video, but take it down to a step by step recipe level.. so kids can follow the recipe and get the best options for them!!! Good stuff here, keep it up! By the way, state university grad, no debt, 40 years ago.
Yeah... I'm PRETTY sure that a person with a liberal arts Ph.D. from Oxbridge, the Ivies, the Red Bricks, or the Public Ivies (in that order) have more weight than people with Ph.D.s in liberal arts from Strayer University.
@DrQuijano Yes, totally, I was thinking the same thing. I considered applying for a position at a small liberal arts college and saw the other faculty were all from Ivies ... forget it; no point wasting my time.
If I were going to change things I would close about 1,000 universities/colleges across the US. There are nearly 5,000 universities in this country, and closing about 1,000 would wipe out bad ones and make admission harder to achieve. Then I'd have the government pay tuition for most or all of the students who work hard enough to get in. College isn't for everyone, and that's not an insult, so why rack people up for a mountain of debt when they're going to decide its not for them anyway?
College is expensive because the state government and Jerry Brown think it's best to cut education than to cut something like the war on drugs. In addition to that, college is so expensive because the UC regions board is comprised of a bunch of pigs, who make $1 Milllion a year and would rather see a thousand students go into debt than not a get a 4th sports car. That's my story.
College is expensive because all the tuition money goes to the state and the state sends back only a small amount of money to be added to the fees, which are the only thing to cover operating costs of the college. Its a messed up system
In the UK it really does matter what uni you went to, most successful people went to oxford or cambridge their degrees are valued more, and you will get some really good connections.
I can agree on you with on most things, but finding scholarships that people are DYING to give away is NOT one of them. The fact of the matter is, unless you built a well in Africa with a 4.0 GPA, you're not getting those big scholarships. Even local scholarships are hard to attain nowadays. I myself applied to 30+ scholarships and only heard from 9 back and only actually received 1. I think many teachers, councilors, and students can agree that scholarships are NOT guaranteed.
at my college they did a monthlyish 100 dollar give out and they hated giving it to people who write shitty essays but nobody who could actually write did it and i found out about that in math class because the teacher wanted people to get money who deserved it more
If you want a good training in France you need to come from a good university or be pushed up on the ladder by someone else, being good hearted and genuinely interested is not enough anymore :(
I do not know if I would want to stay here in the states for graduate and post-doc seems like everything is getting crazy going crazy. OMG I just want to pursue my dream. I just want to have my dream. Why is this making everything so complex and so confusing? HMM. HELP!!!
TYT please continue doing more coverage on all academics. I have a personal interest in this as I myself am pursuing more and as much higher education as possible and have serious plans to get and be in higher education. All these topics interest me and impacts me.
I am looking at outside sources to help me pay for my education but I am not to sure where to begin where to go how to start. What is this? What is that? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? Why..HOW?..where? IDK. I feel so confused. I do not understand English sometimes. Then I get even more confused. Like misinterpreted this or that.
Why is college so expensive? What is financial aid? How do you get financial aid? I mean everything is so confusing and so detailed. It makes you want to give up just trying to make sense of this and trying to make sense of that. Right now, I am lucky because I got a lot of grants that I go to a UC-system California University. I am not too sure how other states like HW NY WA state deal with the packaging process.
Default on their student loan? Collection agencies. So many problems. So much confusion.I still thought all this was in my head about paying for higher education.
I tried asking my parents to help me pay for the difference, however they refused. I tried begging really hard on my knees, they still refused. Part of my financial aid package was student loans. My parents flipped out on me and yelled at me for like why did I need student loans. UH, I feel confused about everything.
I personally had so much confusion over financial aid in itself and the whole process.
Like FAFSA the process in itself is pretty complex. People give up trying to figure out the process similar to the admission application process for universities and they lose like thousands of free grants. HMM I mean beyond that I NOW understand the process. But I am new to the whole scholarship and outside funding source.I heard about Sally Mae? but I did not know too much about that.
Dear TYTuniversity, thank you so much for bringing all these issues in the fore front. I mean beyond all the complex layers of higher education and university life, this was one massive hurdle I personally faced. I just could not be in the wrong timing for the budget cuts the slashes in financial aid then everything else. Why is everything so wrong? Why is everything not right.?
i will also say this, this is why for me, and i did consider going to college, when i did consider it, i was then flooded with how to pay for it, when at the same time i was thinking you can learn the same stuff for free right online... so I'm like seriously this country thinks its investable to pay for someones college degree, when u can learn the same stuff right online?? yea well yes the net doesnt give ya piece of paper but still, internet, open knowledge, and total free commerce...
Tuition keeps going up because the government is willing to give anyone a check. Then the government makes you into an indentured servant having to pay it off, but you won't pay it off because there are no jobs. After that happens, they will add more and more penalties until you have a job and they take a chunk of your check. Who will pay all of this in the end? The tax payers. College education is a lie. Unless you go to a top 25 university, the name isn't worth it.
Ana, your reasoning on whether you should write the essay is faulty, and most people can come up with that on their own. You can go however deep you want: if you know none will enter since they think they won't win, enter. But you know everyone thinks that, and so in fact everyone enters, so you shouldn't bother. You know everyone else will think that way though, so you should bother. This makes this attack of reasoning useless. Judge per case as a tradeoff of time/effort and expected reward.
College is the biggest scam in the world It's yet another government conspiracy. I went to college for six years and I've been unemployed ever since I graduated 9mnths ago. Now I'm in debt:( jobless & living with a good friend.
They tell to go to college to get your dreamjob but they never tell you how that job is gonna exploit you every time.
Ana says which college doesn't matter and we should choose based on cost alone? I don't buy it. People who go to the Harvards and Yales of the world tend to get jobs easier and have higher salaries.
If a hiring manager has a resume from Harvard and one from Podunk U or a community college, guess which one they'll consider first?
already having to do 5 years for my college degree, and will have roughly 14k in loans over that period. Now i have to think about if I should take a co-op and take an extra year to to get my degree, but only end up with ~ 0 debt. Decisions decisions (oh and my degree is mechanical engineering so the co-op runs 16-20 an hour depending where i go)
do the extra year and see if there are accelerated degree programs that will allow you to get a Bachelors and a Masters.. I think its whatever. There isn't a real rush to graduate unless you just want to teach english overseas for a bit to save up money and prepare for graduate school. Also don't limit your job hunt to the US. apply all over the world.
Have a video on Universities with strong Co-op programs. Co-op gives real-world work experience and helps pay for school. Furthermore, students going into Uni should know better by now that their degree isnt going to pay itself and they probably won't get the highest paying job right out of school.
yea, this reality is also setting in for engineer degree holders. A lot of people also don't limit themselves to the US market. If you got a BA the world is pretty much your oyster. Unless you studied like Philosophy, but if you did something like, intercultural communication, intl studies, intll relations, poli sci, economics,accounting, finance,intl security studies, etc you can probably find work, and you may have to pursue an advanced degree to get a higher pay grade.
Where in the HELL are these scholarships you speak of? I tried to that essay shit and other stuff constantly for months. It was all bunk. I never even got a "thanks for participating" letter. I also got straight A grades in college prereq English classes. Where are these magical mythical scholarships and the mythical creatures so eager to hand them out?
@bamboo4tameshigiri I went to my college counselor and they told me to apply to scholarships by the college it self and i applied to 2 and i got both of them. You should go to the college it self and its more likely that you will get a scholarship.
Ana is being a bit disingenuous on the big scholarships only having a lone applicant because the competition is very high for those scholarships. Like you said, you can apply and they simply announce the winner. No response. It is like submitting a story to a prestigious literary magazine. You need a lot of luck and skill because you are not the only apt writer out there.
@bamboo4tameshigiri Check out our TYT U video titled 'Scholarships - Millions Listed On 1 Website'. Use the search bar above the thumbnails on the right side of the TYT U channel homepage.
PS---Fall semester is either here or fast approaching for many of you, starting sending your video submissions using the link at the top of the TYT U channel homepage. In fact you can send a video about scholarships.
@tytuniversity There may be millions of scholarships available on places like Fastweb, but there are also at least 11.5 million students aged 18 to 24 currently enrolled at colleges. The pidgin-hole principle alone suggests there aren't enough scholarships for everybody.
@bamboo4tameshigiri scholarships are for science, engineering and other useful subjects, who needs more english majors you can just hire a mexican illegal to work the grocery store cash register
@rostant999 You mean like Medical Terminology, Anatomy and Physiology, Biology, Psych 1+2, Environmental Science, World Religions, and Pathophysiology where I carried a 4.0? English is just one of the prereqs I ACED. If you can't get past English, you'll never pass terminology. Now take your condescending bullshit and stick it up your ass. K thnx bye!
@bamboo4tameshigiri medical terminology, is that so you can read a doctor's handwriting while you fill his prescription? if your marks are good in a useful area you get scholarships or at least get into good schools and can work to go through school i know many people well funded in university (harvard, yale cornell, maryland, toronto ubc ...). including myself i studied math not math terminoogy (but i also took a few art history and architecture courses for purely interest sake)
@bamboo4tameshigiri Did you get straight A's in all your classes, have great-extracurriculars, and are from a minority or poverty line family, I feel like those are the new requirements for full-ride scholarships these days.
@kazekage321414 That might be the problem. I'm white. I had a 4.0 and was always in the top 3 of all my classes, except 1 and it was an administrative bullshit class teaching office paperwork nonsense and it was THE most boring class I've ever taken with THE bitchiest nit picking teacher I ever met. I still got a B grade in it. I do live below the poverty line. Yeah, I guess that's the problem, I'm white.
@bamboo4tameshigiri it could be possible that you applied too late or even too early. there's certain times of the year when many scholarships become available, and it can vary between schools. i've noticed the peak season is between December and February.
@meadowsirl Right on. I'm in Canada, and currently doing a second college program so that I can pursue both visual arts, and sciences. Already, I'm thinking, "Man, I just spent a few hundred dollars on tuition and books- I need to take on a job soon."
Ripping 100 thousand dollars out of my heart for an education is unfathomable for me. What Americans have to put up with is beyond my comprehension.
Thankfully my parents are paying for my college, although I believe I eventually have to pay them back.....
And i try to save money whenever possible.... instead of buying expensive textbooks from the campus store I go to Amazon where other college students are selling their basically new books for sometimes 1/4 of the cost.
Then you really need to sign up for those scholarships. If you want I can give you a website that's well known for giving out scholarships and was mentioned by Ana.

I agree that college is WAY to expensive, but I don't like the idea of going to a less notable school just because it is less expensive. In this economy anything that gets you an edge over other people is extremely important. Say 2 peoples resume are the exact same, but one graduated from a recognizable school and the other one from somewhere not to many people know of. Who has a better shot of getting the job? My dad hires people all the time and he says this is an edge.

A suggestion I haven't seen in the comments much is to look for scholarships at the local level and at the college itself. There is less competition for scholarships offered by local businesses and non-profits. All of my scholarships either came from groups/businesses in my small hometown or from my college itself. Don't bother with the scholarships from giant companies like Coca Cola or whatever as the competition is murderous. Find the local ones. Cheers.

College is expensive because it is subsidized by guaranteed student loans. Colleges don't care if students doom themselves to a lifetime of debt. As long as students can get loans, colleges will bleed students. The only way to bring down the cost of college is to stop guaranteed student loans. When that happens the student loan racket will collapse and colleges will be forced to cut prices. But not until then.

If I were going to change things I would close about 1,000 universities/colleges across the US. There are nearly 5,000 universities in this country, and closing about 1,000 would wipe out bad ones and make admission harder to achieve. Then I'd have the government pay tuition for most or all of the students who work hard enough to get in. College isn't for everyone, and that's not an insult, so why rack people up for a mountain of debt when they're going to decide its not for them anyway?

College is expensive because the state government and Jerry Brown think it's best to cut education than to cut something like the war on drugs. In addition to that, college is so expensive because the UC regions board is comprised of a bunch of pigs, who make $1 Milllion a year and would rather see a thousand students go into debt than not a get a 4th sports car. That's my story.

Ana,
I can agree on you with on most things, but finding scholarships that people are DYING to give away is NOT one of them. The fact of the matter is, unless you built a well in Africa with a 4.0 GPA, you're not getting those big scholarships. Even local scholarships are hard to attain nowadays. I myself applied to 30+ scholarships and only heard from 9 back and only actually received 1. I think many teachers, councilors, and students can agree that scholarships are NOT guaranteed.

Tuition keeps going up because the government is willing to give anyone a check. Then the government makes you into an indentured servant having to pay it off, but you won't pay it off because there are no jobs. After that happens, they will add more and more penalties until you have a job and they take a chunk of your check. Who will pay all of this in the end? The tax payers. College education is a lie. Unless you go to a top 25 university, the name isn't worth it.
CitizenofDystopia 5 months ago
Ana, your reasoning on whether you should write the essay is faulty, and most people can come up with that on their own. You can go however deep you want: if you know none will enter since they think they won't win, enter. But you know everyone thinks that, and so in fact everyone enters, so you shouldn't bother. You know everyone else will think that way though, so you should bother. This makes this attack of reasoning useless. Judge per case as a tradeoff of time/effort and expected reward.

do the extra year and see if there are accelerated degree programs that will allow you to get a Bachelors and a Masters.. I think its whatever.

Also don't limit your job hunt to the US. apply all over the world.

Have a video on Universities with strong Co-op programs. Co-op gives real-world work experience and helps pay for school. Furthermore, students going into Uni should know better by now that their degree isnt going to pay itself and they probably won't get the highest paying job right out of school.
