so do you regret going to college was it worth your time? and if so, if you could do it all over what would you do instead?

@KINGSTONUSB2 College is to prove to other idiots that you know what you are talking about. Just to get a foot in the door, but it really doesn't teach you what to do when you get there. Working, hands on training gets you that

Brother Abdul: Meg & Dia Frampton's father was a DJ in Korea and didn't invent the super soaker water gun. The inventor of the super soaker water gun is Lonnie Johnson an (african american)aerospace engineer from Los Angelos,Ca.

@prettysteeve47 actually you are correct, I found that out later. He invented something else. Meg was telling me of the story and had it off by a long shot lol. But he is a inventor.

college and education are not the same thing

go to college for a degree

go to a library for an education

I agree..everyone is ignorant about a great many things. People who call people dumb, stupid or similar are really ignorant about the fact they are ignorant.

I'm ignorant about things like everyone and I'm aware of this fact at least.

"He who knows that he does not know, knows more than he who does not know that he does not know." Socrates.

One of my fav quotes.

The education system to me is just another big corporate business. Another system of control. Self education is win!

keep up the good work dude, great videos I can listen to you for hours.

You are right. College isn't necessarily a waste of time, but you could have spent that time learning from experience rather than being taught how to become an employee like all the others. It can however help you as a backup in case things go wrong and not as planned, but in all reality LIFE is the best experience, and taking educated risks while others are too afraid to is also a big part of it. MJ Demarco covers this as well in his book.

Thank you for the video! It's smart to assess whether or not investing in an education is actually going to bring a QUICK return on one's investment. If one is going to spend thousands of dollars, and get into a huge debt, just to say that they have XYZ degree, that is absolutely crazy and irresponsible. You probably have heard of Dr. Randal Pinkett's Campus CEO; I like this approach. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Just to add on, people need to be given a chance and for someone who's been through something can guide them along the way.  Also people need to get their feet wet and test the waters that is out there before jumping into the pool.

I learned a lot from your videos and others on youtube! Thank you brother for taking the time to educate us with your wisdom. Peace!
