This is sooooo true. Bill is correct. Even in the 1970s, liberal arts graduates took longer to find jobs commensurate with their educations than business, engineering, science, and other graduates who majored in the hard sciences. Psychology majors in the 1970s worked in department stores and/or as clerks. If it was bad then, it is WORSE now. Nobody in his/her thinking mind would major in liberal arts and/or in the humanities. but in the hard and techinical sciences. .
I co-sign everything you say college is a waste of time. I say be good with your hands like have a skill that you can do, be certified in something. I was in college to get my associates in business administration, but i quickly realized that in the end it was worthless and its why i'm in school to get my certification in aircraft maintenance and I love it. I learn alot
There are ways most can avoid the cost of college and still get jobs, but it's never spoken to because so many are making money off the education myth. Frightening info. most people never know until it's too late and they are stuck with massive loan debt and no job. You have to know the REALITIES of what's happening out there. Dreams are good but they can be delayed if not eliminated without proper knowledge.
Education is way over emphasized. The majority of jobs DON'T require a college education and according Brian Mackey, GEI consultants, since '92' 60% of college graduates are now in positions that the Bureau of Labor Statists considers low skill, positions that do not even require a high school education. And what is rarely taught is the critical skills and attitudes needed for success. There is SO much missing from most degrees & the 25% cost increase in last 5 yrs is criminal
If you are a young person and are prepared to make the hard choices to make some serious money, then you MUST be involved in hard corps crime & racketeering.
That is how the government does it, and so should you!
american students are getting shafted, in australia we have government loans for college, interest is only at rate of inflation, about 3% - the U.S. is all about big business in collusion with the government in screwing the future generations. A populace in debt is easily managed.
There are two things school does not teach you: Work ethics and common sense all of us have to learn that on our own. Invest, save you're money and make sacrafice's it will all come together in the end.
The issue with "emerging adults" pisses me off. The ones I see that fit this category would rather live in the comfortable surroundings of thier parents than pay thier dues living in a shit for awhile when just starting out. In the long run, you are much better off living in shit for awhile at 22 or 23 than living comfortably in your mom's basement. I just cannot understand why anyone would major in something that does not give them a job when they graduate.
Also.. when you're fresh out of school.. and in debt, remember that what is mostly helpful is experience.. which u don't have yet. It's gonna take you about another 5-7 years to be great at something. Look at acting for instance. You don't master the craft overnight.
I know college graduates that are bartenders. I know bartenders that aren't college graduate that make 80,000$ a year. A lot of the billionaires out there are drop-out. Better if u have it, not necessary. College does not teach you success.
college is useful so that society can accepts u. Because nowadays without proper degree, no one will want to hire you unless you are a super duper genius. So please have at least a college degree education.
What I am trying to say is that you will never get those four years back, so utilize your time there wisely and study the lucrative subjects. Think of the future, and ask yourself where do you want to be ten years from now. Do you want to always worry about getting a job, or do you want to have a high income job and live a great life and not have to worry about losing your job. Think wisely people!
Instead of going to college and majoring in business, or economics, I decided to buy some books about investing and took a few classes at any local university. I am enriching my mind with all the necessary tools to become a successful investor, and because I am a pharmacist, I have enough capital that if something goes wrong and I lose money, I will not have to go into severe debt. If things go right, then I will achievie my goals and will make even more money than I did before. U see(cont)
@Rangerwhat Yeah i agree. If you major in something shitty, you won't get a job. I myself am majoring in business administration. But i'm not stopping at a bachelors because a bachelors is a joke. I'm getting an MBA then an PhdBA.
Then u should go for it, but put things into perspective. If there are thousands of ppl who have the same major as you, you will have a much harder time trying to get a job. If there are only a few people who major in something(lets say pharmacy) then not ony will there be people WANTING to hire you, but the jobs will earn a much higher income. And you can also do what you have always dreamed after you get that job. I have always wanted to be an investor, but instead of going to college (cont)
I am guaranteed not only a job, but one where I make A LOT of money! I remember when I was in college, all my peers were either studying business or psychology. A lot of them said that anything in math and science was too hard for them so they chose a major that was much "easier" to do. I remember freshman yr, the business orientation hall was packed, while the health majors were nowhere close to that amount. Now I am in no way bashing those majors b/c if you are interested, then u should (cont
People please go to college. BUT study the right majors. I am living proof. I actually QUIT my six figure job(an insane thing to do in this economy) b/c i felt they were not treating me right, and do you know what I did after that?..I looked for a new job, and found one immediately! I ended up selecting a job where I make 10% more than I did at my previous job, and I get more extras like longer break time, and more benefits. Do you know what I studied? Pharmacy! I am guaranteed not only (cont)
It's sad, because college was a good thing, it's just greed, on part of the college and lack of jobs because we have no more industry. Late Great USA.
LOL I'm in my first year of Psychology and was gona be a clinical psychologist. I knew after a month of this bs I didn't want to become one. And then I see this video which totally made my day LOL. Funny shit
I didn't agree with all of it, but I definitely think people should look at college as a financial investment rather than a place to party and give them time to guesstimate what they want to do. Don't go to a college you can't afford, and go with a plan. Becoming a psychologist is fine if that's what you want to do. BTW any halfway decent university has a TA program for masters and PhD students where they can go for free.
Creativity is in the eye of the beholder. If you cant join the river flow without straying from all the other fish to find the big catch at least a few times in life,Then the true meaning of life has been corrupt. Most of to days strong minds are enslaved by the new world order. In another 100 years the bars on the window grow thicker and thicker.
Whether or not debt is an issue for prospective students, creativity isn't something that is in any way hampered by knowledge; to suggest otherwise is naive.
My problems is this: I have a 2 year degree in computer networking and am now @ a 4 year college having the worst time of my life. We're talking about bad luck, packed classes, walls of people, little help and I'm bad in math. I am a humble person and would like to think I barely received my two year degree, my question is should I stay until a job opens in my 2 year program OR stick with it? Nothing makes sense to me right now. I can't afford to die right now either, literally IT COST TOO MUCH
To hell with college!! It has become a big waste of time and money! If I was able to do it all over again I never would have went to college.
If you want to throw up to and over $100,000 away all in hopes of making millions later on in life then either play the lottery or go to a casino. Sure, the odds are stacked in the house's favor but hey, look at it this way--every now and then you'll receive a payoff...and every now and then you'll receive a HUGE payoff!
@ryanspeed Since I've worked in the industry, I've had access to knowing the pay grades of entry level engineering jobs and the lowest I've seen has been around 55K in the state of Georgia where the cost of living is lower than CA.
College rewards conformity rather than independence, competition rather than collaboration, regurgitation rather than learning and theory rather than application. Creativity, innovation and curiosity are schooled out.
Failure is punished instead of seen as a learning opportunity. We think of college as a stepping-stone to success rather than a means to gain knowledge. College fails to empower us with the skills necessary to become productive members of today's global entrepreneurial economy.
College isnt a waste of time. College is wasted resource and time. he's right tho. Know what's out there and know how to get there. You can't go wrong with high technical majors like biology and engineering!
@Jeremyyy412 True but demand-wise even those fields are beginning to stall out. How so, you might ask? Because the job market is becoming immensely flooded with those degree types and as a side effect it's starting to eat away at salarys.
I know a guy who graduated 3 years ago with a degree in mechanical engineering. Just last month got a job with Boeing. He should be making at least 50-80K, right? Nope! They started him out at 39K!! Not to "toot my horn" but I make a lot more than that!
@ryanspeed 39k seems quite low. I can tell you this because I'm still in college and I'm also working at Boeing. Maybe he didn't get an engineering job. Maybe he's just a draftsman or has a job with the word engineer thrown in the title. Engineers start seeing money 5 years in to their careers. Here in California, engineers start at around 60k. All an engineering degree says is that you can learn the job. Once you learn it, engineering can be rewarding.
@enigma562 He started working in Everett, WA and is definitely a degreed engineer from the University of Texas. It sounds like you're doing very good if you're making 60K. Paywise, engineering is still a good field to get in to as is medicine, law and nursing.
I've worked in the aviation industry 20 years now (including 10 years military). How do you like working for Boeing? I ask because although I've never worked for them I've heard all kinds of "horror" stories.
@ryanspeed Its a FUCKIN LIE! College is a SCAM! Its all designed to take your money, Useless bullshit classes! and there's no jobs anyway! People with master's degrees are working in Home Depot!! You will need a PhD to work in Fast food soon! and wash dishes!!
@enigma562 I think anybody in the aerospace industry has horror stories to talk about. It's not just at Boeing. There's politics but it happens everywhere. By the way, 60K is not great money. That's where most start as entry level engineers. Before this, I worked for another major aerospace company within logistics. Even then I made 40K+ which isn't much here in CA. That's why I left my job to finish up school.
@AtheosRecords Meh. There are people who should actually go to college, regardless of social status. Some people should just stay the fuck out of it though.
Thats what you get when your country spend billions of dollars on bombing other countries and your culture promotes everything on buying today and paying for it tomorrow and also corrupt business people who give loans to people who cannot afford them. The Chinese have got it right, long term strategists, maybe you should vote for a government who supports education and helps to educate the less fortunate.
the guy who made this vid is a massive retard. seriously, all of you guys commenting and being like omg yea college is a waste of time are a bunch of naive fucktards who like the feeling of being rebellious and not caring about what they are being rebellious about. yes, the system is unfair, and disenfranchises people with low incomes etc, which sucks, and needs to be fixed. but to say that college in of itself a waste of time is, frankly, STUPID. you learn so much more than academics..
@somesanity1 Shut the fuck up, you only go to college to play beer pong, have sex and party. that's all and then u come out become a debt slave for the rest of your life
@110301839 Only idiots do that- the same idiots who are flooding the goddamn market with their degrees and dropping the general IQ down and making it worse for people who deserve it. There are people who actually want to go to college and like the experience.
It's all about who you know and how good your social skills are. For example, a friend of mine (who is very good with people) flunked out of highschool, got his GED, and is now working at Boeing making over $90,000 to $100,000 a year. He is about to marry in July and is about to buy a house. He is 23 years old.
My husband is a psychologist practicing in autism for a non profit agency in Eastern Pennsylvania. His father was a Director for the agency for Juveniles who had behavioral problems and emotionally disturbed. To say the least, I think the ONLY reason why my husband is at all successful in his carreer (pre-licensured mind you [a few months before the test {in study now}]) is because he inherited it.
That is not to devalue his work. He is intelligent. It's just very likely that an equally intelligent person from a different economic and social background would find it harder (if not impossible) to achieve the same outcome.
And I have not allowed this fog that is Student Loan debt that I have to demoralize me. I am a human being that has plenty to offer the world no matter how much I owe Sallie Mae. I will never pay these parasites a dime for a college that I was too naive in those years to consider as a red flag of scam artists. I was also desperate. So many times I have heard the only way to make it in this world is through a college graduation. Hindsight in 20/20.
americans..... so much of glory and richness in the history... and then couple of tougher years in economy... and everybody wants to commit suecide.... you guys are really pathetic.....
I'm not saying I'm a full christian, but I believe in GOD and I know that if you trust in him, everything is going to be all right.
I just graduated with a BS in Ag. Engineering and I don't have a job. I know it sucks really bad, but I have faith that a job will come and of course like you said, trust GOD not man.
Besides, I just find it hard to believe that all those years of hard work and studying have to go to waste.
@gibsongold1970 i am almost completing college and going to a technical school is a better option... learn a trade... unless you can do law, medicine, or nursing...
The intent of my video is NOT to say DON'T go to college - education is important. The intent is to encourage students to take classes with a specific purpose and acquire academic skills leading to your objective - matching classes with internships and part-time work is smart.
Is it better to have an associates degree with experience, connection and education. Or a bachelors with ZERO experience.??? I'd choose the first. Definitely
public education and college idolization is making the American people into brainless conformist zombies that are tearing the economy apart!!! We are living in a collegetatorship. By the way I am a community college student and I deduce this from my experiences I don't need anyone to tell me this.
@Majinsirdi Its a FUCKIN LIE! College is a SCAM! Its all designed to take your money, Useless bullshit classes! and there's no jobs anyway! People with master's degrees are working in Home Depot!! You will need a PhD to work in Fast food soon! and wash dishes!!
I need to show this video to all my friends... I keep telling them in ten years there buisness degrees are going to be worth a dime a dozen and that their resumes will be just as wonderful as the 50 bazillion other people looking at that job... anyways I enjoy my job at starbucks and most of my coworkers are actually dropouts.
The best way to profit from a college education is to take courses with a clear intention of what you want to learn. If you go to a military college, you are committed to a career in the military, so you do have that clear intent. In which case, your education would NOT be a waste of time. Also, if you are attending one of the service academies, they are full scholarship - no tuition. So, certainly not a waste of money.
Absolutely right. All education is self-education whether you read a book, take a course or get on-the-job experience. You want to be passionate about learning and the best way to do that is to select subjects in which you have a true interest. Too many students are just going through the motions in college, gaining very little and simply wasting a lot of money and a lot of the prime time in their lives. Figure out what you want to do with your life first.
Its apparent on here that some people are not reading between the lines in what he is trying to say. He is not saying don't got o college. He is saying make sure you research your career path before hand and know what it is you are getting into, before you get tied up and hate Hence wasting your time and money. Listen people absorb what he is saying. Man some closed minded people on here, those are the ones that will stay in the rat race..
All i have to say is I agree with this 100%. I always thought college was a big scam. The governmnet knows this. Common sense always told me if I want to be something particular why do I need to be studying history to be a doctor. College should narrowed to courdes only petaining to your field of study not this broad range of study that waste time and money.
Absolutley right. This guy is trying to put an old head on young shoulders (a good thing). Young folks, listen to this guy. Start out Uni working towards what you'd do for free anyway, that uses your talents. Find out what the job is really like before you start, and be cheeky enough to find out what the pay is too (my2c)! Excellent advice.
The education system doesn't want us to experience the "real world." That's nothing more of a threat to them they want us to remain thier children and always be subservient to them the bastards couldn't care less about us.
IT amazes me.. I spent 3 years completing General Education requirements and was about to attend a university this Fall with a Business Administration major BUT I had an epiphony...Millions graduating from that field and only thousands of jobs available... AND I calculated how much debt I was going to be in and it was (after I would be done) $25,000+ !!
He is completely right. Heck, I joined the army afterwards hoping for something better but they won't even use me. I want a life style. I want a life.
Medical degrees are the only degrees worth the time. Any other degree is absolutely useless, and yes, I'm serious. I've worked with engineers for 15 years and what I've empirically observed is that the college-educated higher-ups a.) can't type a coherent email, and b.) never use ANYTHING they absorbed in college. Whatever field you wanna work in, start at the bottom immediately outta high school and work your way up the ladder. Every successful millionaire did it this way. College = SHIT.
this guy is an idiot. hey buddy, just because you sit in front of a book self and does not make you smart. you look like a sex offender and are probably from a fly over state.
he is enormously successful btw. this doesnt increase his credibility here or anything, but it does cast serious doubt on his status as idiot. just sayin. and sex offenders have mustaches and glasses... you seem like even more of a cow riding cousin humper when you mess up on you stereotypes, you texas tard. oh and ironic saracsm ftw. thnx bye.
Great I love it! Im 22 yrs and have been working since I left high school (australia) alot of my mates went to uni and hate it and alsways complain blah blah blah..me I worked saved up and bought an investment property, I reckon im 20 years ahead of those higly qualified mates..hahaha great love this video!
but you're assuming that it's only so awful if you pay for it out of your own pocket...what if your parents are paying for your school and you don't pay anything, is it still bad?
does zero sum game mean anything to do? and if you arent really getting something tangible out of college aka making it a means to an end, you are just giving your parents the shaft by making them pay for it.
Going to university was the biggest mistake of my life. I'm busting my ass just to pass these damn courses, and I know it's not going to get me a job. What a waste of four years.
Only certain degrees are worth anything. Degrees like Nursing can get you a good job when you get out. Maybe you should get an Licensed Vocational Nurse two year degree. Other degrees are not worth anything, Sociology degrees, political science degrees, liberal arts degrees fine arts degrees. For a two year degree a LVN degree will work......Certifications pay more than degree, Licensed vocational nurse.
public education and college idolization is making the American people into brainless conformist zombies that are tearing the economy apart!!! We are living in a collegetatorship. By the way I am a community college student and I deduce this from my experiences I don't need anyone to tell me this.
Do schools kill creativity? If creativity was a person schools would be it's concentration camp! I think that young people are going through a creativity holocaust perpetrated by teachers especially ones who hate their jobs. Everyone who agrees this is a disgusting inconvenient truth give me a thumbs up. BTW I'm only twenty years old and I understand this.
@74u73hjd I disagree actually. If you let someone make you "un-creative" then you are weak minded and you shouldn't waste a teacher's time. If you actually pay attention in school and participate you can be as creative as you want! The only difference is you the "teacher", who doesn't dictate anything about your future, didn't acknowledge you as creative. That makes YOU an inconvenient truth, that people have become so weak as to "let" SOMEONE ELSE "make" you not creative.

There are people who go to school and believe they are smart when they graduate. Then they work the same job in constant fear of what the next paycheck will bring..
Then there are those who never stop learning, and only need so little money in order to fund their education. It is exciting to learn things by our own accord.
Wow, this is truly impressive. I thought people could only shit out of their ass. You are the epitome of bullshit. Maybe if you had gone to college, you would have learned how to write a truly structured persuasive essay because that was one of the worst arguments I've ever heard. Not only do you avoid giving us full proof facts about why college is a waste but you also present us with one topic (video title) and end up talk about how you shouldn't pick a major your hate.
I work in a call center. It sucks. I have thought about going back to school. I realize that every job sucks...Unless you work for yourself. Even then, there will be times you may dislike your job, but you will be your own boss and only answer to yourself.
college is an investment. if you think your just gonna pick a major out of a book and plan to make good money after your done your an idiot. if you know what your doing and have done your research then you should be alright BUT it is still an investment. its like throwing money into the stock market and hopeing to make millions. its not gonna happen untill youve done your research and played your cards right.
yea i agree because im 19yrs old goin to a cc and i hate it... plus i have a friend who got a bachelors degree in software engineering and he's working at a health club! people dont think these days, they just do. im takin Bullshit classes and failing them. there pointless classes... i want to do somthing in computers and its those damn prereqisites that are the killers... what does english have to do with software engineering??!! all that takes math!!! its just pointless bullshit...
man, you are so right! this whole fucking world revolves around money! they make us take these lame ass classes that aint worth squat, where after the class is over we forget every fuking thing we been over, and its all for money! the more classes you take the more money they make!!
And those general courses like History, Geo, college success.. Why the hell do we need a class that is about how to pass a college. The class is fcuking boring! the students who choose the class are fcuking losers!! only if i knew better what the class actually was i wouldn't have take it..
This video is so true, there's many lame ass people studying in business without knowing actually how to trade!!!
fcuk this system, it's just a legal money drainer.
you sound like me. I'm 19 and going to a community college doing software engineering(though Im thinking of changing my mind) and it's pointless taking these stupid classes like baraque humanities just to graduate. I'd be better off educating myself
shit i have a BA in psych and im making bucks just being a consultant to marketing firms, and no it does not suck, i watch ads, commercials, etc and give opinions about how to hook more ppl into the product, easy fun job, plus i have alot of time so i work part time teaching at my local CC
through pure luck and networking, after graduation my chances were dim, so i went to my local CC taking marketing classes, while working etc. i somewhat impressed my teacher, who had a friend working in a small marketing firm that gave me a chance, and as i gained more experience, the more opportunities i got. and the fact i had a minor in communication from UC Davis helped. tht said i know im just one case, and im sure the other 49,999 pysch grads tht year have different stories
im just trying to point out that you can get a job with a BA in pysch and you dont have to be an actual pyschologist, and to make things more clear i work with a group of people on my consulting team with all kinds of different backgrounds, ex history, ethnic studies, etc. i dont make millions but its good pay for the amount of time and effort required. that is why i work part time as a teacher as well, use the extra time i have to make some extra cash. hope it helps
This is a good message.Borrowing is fraud in most cases,because if you make the "higher salary" for a long time your extra salary you make only goes to pay for the debt of the loan.If you go to college only get grants and federal loans with very low interest and make sure that your field is actually used in the real world and it fits your personality.Go into the military or some other place that will pay for your classes and might have the option to match your job while in college.Nice vid.
work sucks, period. no matter what you do odds are it will suck. either get shipped to another country or work yourself to death and still be broke. if you get into a field like a Dr. or a Lawyer you prob have tons of debts to pay off and it takes a few years of work to just get back to even.
The reason is that just like the medical system ,the educational system in the GREAT united statesof America FUCKEN SUCKS !!!FUCK everything.This whole country going down the FUCKEN tube !!Pretty you'll be flying to New Dehli for all educational and medical needs!
Can't even go to a FUCKEN hospital here because you might hit by a 4 or 5 grands medical bill you are better off dead !!
Yeah ,this is supposed to be the BEST country on God's green earth !
this guy is totally right dont go to college just to go, do it for a specific reason and dont just go out of fear otherwise it really is a complete waste of time and money no question.
i'm a 9th grader who's failing a shitload of his classes that he could pass easily, but just doesnt feel like working at all. and even I will admit that this guy's arguments are shit.
@vanilla845 I totally agree. With my own life I work for the Johnson presidential campaign, have been on TV recently, started my own online company, started my own online charity to be launched in August, work for the seasteading institute and own Intellectual Property on a patent I have. I'm a 16 year old New Yorker and ready to move out to San Francisco after high school.
yeah the job of a psychologist is boring and hard don't go to college and become a plumber cleaning up people's shit or drive trucks all day. This guy is more full of crap than the back of a mexican restaurant
As a registered nurse, I am thankful to my college. While I agree that it is important to have a passion for your chosen profession, there are many options for a student to explore. Enroll in college and take general credit requirements. During this time, you can explore the options of different majors. In the end, it is not always about the money you will make after graduation. Education can do more than open the door to a new career: it may open your mind.
Did you know many people say or believe the college have some downfalls, but it is funny when he say's "college is a waste of time" it would sound not so important to this old man since he have already achieved and got a College degree and so he is trying put down people around the world today to forget about the education and kindly to deposit everyones money into his pocket also your greedy 'government' and have a laugh about it just by forgetting about where the hard working money came from.
Darling, darling, darling. Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of Pirates of the Carribean 123, has a masters in PSYCHOLOGY. Its useful if you can innovate guys.
I thoroughly enjoyed university and earned a Masters in graphic design but haven't had a job connected to my degree in any way. I haven't had a job of any kind for more than 8 months. Good fun but ultimately a complete waste of time.
I'm in the same boat as you. I have a degree in Information Systems and still haven't found crap in my field for the past 3 years. Sure sounded great when I was a Freshman according to the dumb counselors.
people who go to college know what their doing, they're the smartest brightest and the cream of the crop. But did college make them that way? or did college only weed out the smartest and hardest working students and certify them? Why do colleges get the credit of our hard work, when its us students who really make ourselves? We study up late on our own, when professors don't care to be clear because they are tenured. I learn more on my own in the library
well said! there are too many qualifications that people get pedantic about. i'm surprised people at uni are too focused on academic bullshit instead of thinking about a career that they would really enjoy doing and thinking about money! in 10 years or more time people are going to be doing college, then a graduates degree, then a masters, then a phd, then something else, then something else, then something else oh and then there will be a 10 year course.
This video makes me want to go to college and get a degree in psychology so I can create videos for youtube, utilizing statistics and personal experience, to explain why it is that college is a waste of time- then post help wanted ads in the paper for an office receptionist for my business, stating "only accepting applicants with a Bachelor degree or higher". College is not a waste of time, friends, High School is...
College is fucking lame. I went for a year... wasted my 18th year of life. I agree with openuniverse2003 it's all about being "cool", frat partys etc. I sometimes regret it so bad, what a waste of time and money. I have an A+ from my local technical school (tuition only $4,000) and currently getting $16 an hour @ age 20. Suck my balls America.
This is sooooo true. Bill is correct. Even in the 1970s, liberal arts graduates took longer to find jobs commensurate with their educations than business, engineering, science, and other graduates who majored in the hard sciences.

Frightening info. most people never know until it's too late and they are stuck with massive loan debt and no job. You have to know the REALITIES of what's happening out there. Dreams are good but they can be delayed if not eliminated without proper knowledge.

Education is way over emphasized. The majority of jobs DON'T require a college education and according Brian Mackey, GEI consultants, since '92' 60% of college graduates are now in positions that the Bureau of Labor Statists considers low skill, positions that do not even require a high school education. And what is rarely taught is the critical skills and attitudes needed for success. There is SO much missing from most degrees & the 25% cost increase in last 5 yrs is criminal

College rewards conformity rather than independence, competition rather than collaboration, regurgitation rather than learning and theory rather than application. Creativity, innovation and curiosity are schooled out.
Failure is punished instead of seen as a learning opportunity. We think of college as a stepping-stone to success rather than a means to gain knowledge. College fails to empower us with the skills necessary to become productive members of today's global entrepreneurial economy.

@Jeremyyy412 True but demand-wise even those fields are beginning to stall out. How so, you might ask? Because the job market is becoming immensely flooded with those degree types and as a side effect it's starting to eat away at salarys.
I know a guy who graduated 3 years ago with a degree in mechanical engineering. Just last month got a job with Boeing. He should be making at least 50-80K, right? Nope! They started him out at 39K!! Not to "toot my horn" but I make a lot more than that!
ryanspeed 6 months ago
@ryanspeed 39k seems quite low. I can tell you this because I'm still in college and I'm also working at Boeing. Maybe he didn't get an engineering job. Maybe he's just a draftsman or has a job with the word engineer thrown in the title. Engineers start seeing money 5 years in to their careers. Here in California, engineers start at around 60k. All an engineering degree says is that you can learn the job. Once you learn it, engineering can be rewarding.
enigma562 4 months ago
@enigma562 He started working in Everett, WA and is definitely a degreed engineer from the University of Texas. It sounds like you're doing very good if you're making 60K. Paywise, engineering is still a good field to get in to as is medicine, law and nursing.

The best way to profit from a college education is to take courses with a clear intention of what you want to learn. If you go to a military college, you are committed to a career in the military, so you do have that clear intent. In which case, your education would NOT be a waste of time. Also, if you are attending one of the service academies, they are full scholarship - no tuition. So, certainly not a waste of money.

Absolutely right. All education is self-education whether you read a book, take a course or get on-the-job experience. You want to be passionate about learning and the best way to do that is to select subjects in which you have a true interest. Too many students are just going through the motions in college, gaining very little and simply wasting a lot of money and a lot of the prime time in their lives.

man, you are so right! this whole fucking world revolves around money! they make us take these lame ass classes that aint worth squat, where after the class is over we forget every fuking thing we been over, and its all for money! the more classes you take the more money they make!!

And those general courses like History, Geo, college success.. Why the hell do we need a class that is about how to pass a college. The class is fcuking boring! the students who choose the class are fcuking losers!! only if i knew better what the class actually was i wouldn't have take it..
This video is so true, there's many lame ass people studying in business without knowing actually how to trade!!!
fcuk this system, it's just a legal money drainer.

you sound like me. I'm 19 and going to a community college doing software engineering(though Im thinking of changing my mind) and it's pointless taking these stupid classes like baraque humanities just to graduate. I'd be better off educating myself

shit i have a BA in psych and im making bucks just being a consultant to marketing firms, and no it does not suck, i watch ads, commercials, etc and give opinions about how to hook more ppl into the product, easy fun job, plus i have alot of time so i work part time teaching at my local CC

How did you get that job? Please tell...
beatdaFoutofU 3 years ago
through pure luck and networking, after graduation my chances were dim, so i went to my local CC taking marketing classes, while working etc. i somewhat impressed my teacher, who had a friend working in a small marketing firm that gave me a chance, and as i gained more experience, the more opportunities i got. and the fact i had a minor in communication from UC Davis helped. tht said i know im just one case, and im sure the other 49,999 pysch grads tht year have different stories
liquidgrave 3 years ago
im just trying to point out that you can get a job with a BA in pysch and you dont have to be an actual pyschologist, and to make things more clear i work with a group of people on my consulting team with all kinds of different backgrounds, ex history, ethnic studies, etc. i dont make millions but its good pay for the amount of time and effort required. that is why i work part time as a teacher as well, use the extra time i have to make some extra cash. hope it helps

This is a good message.Borrowing is fraud in most cases,because if you make the "higher salary" for a long time your extra salary you make only goes to pay for the debt of the loan.If you go to college only get grants and federal loans with very low interest and make sure that your field is actually used in the real world and it fits your personality.Go into the military or some other place that will pay for your classes and might have the option to match your job while in college.Nice vid.

I agree with his last point just before the video cuts off.
You need a clear vision of where you wanna go before you go to school otherwise yes it is huge waste of money.

work sucks, period. no matter what you do odds are it will suck. either get shipped to another country or work yourself to death and still be broke. if you get into a field like a Dr. or a Lawyer you prob have tons of debts to pay off and it takes a few years of work to just get back to even.

One question:
if academics are so-smart. how come they are teaching little children, ages 17-25. these peple are in puberty or post puberty.
two: academics have voted themselves job-for-life. Tenure. Who in the world has Tenure.... a job for life.
What about the Next google, yahoo, microsoft. CPU or cell phone.
Truth: those can do... will
Those cannot do... will teach.

AMEN, I have a:
BA in Liberal Arts
and a
BS in Health Service Administration
It's done nothing for me. Friends that dropped out in 10th grade and got experience make almost double my salary.
Any young people who have yet to decide...DON'T GO, unless you want $70,000 in school loan debt for a $20,000 job.

As a registered nurse, I am thankful to my college. While I agree that it is important to have a passion for your chosen profession, there are many options for a student to explore. Enroll in college and take general credit requirements. During this time, you can explore the options of different majors. In the end, it is not always about the money you will make after graduation. Education can do more than open the door to a new career: it may open your mind.

Did you know many people say or believe the college have some downfalls, but it is funny when he say's "college is a waste of time" it would sound not so important to this old man since he have already achieved and got a College degree and so he is trying put down people around the world today to forget about the education and kindly to deposit everyones money into his pocket also your greedy 'government' and have a laugh about it just by forgetting about where the hard working money came from.

people who go to college know what their doing, they're the smartest brightest and the cream of the crop. But did college make them that way? or did college only weed out the smartest and hardest working students and certify them? Why do colleges get the credit of our hard work, when its us students who really make ourselves? We study up late on our own, when professors don't care to be clear because they are tenured. I learn more on my own in the library

well said! there are too many qualifications that people get pedantic about. i'm surprised people at uni are too focused on academic bullshit instead of thinking about a career that they would really enjoy doing and thinking about money! in 10 years or more time people are going to be doing college, then a graduates degree, then a masters, then a phd, then something else, then something else, then something else oh and then there will be a 10 year course.
