You're saying what needs to be said; keep up the good work and mind the trolls. Good videos. It is a needed shift in perspective.

@emknightauthor thanks a lot! I appreciate it. Thanks for watching.

Let's look at the total earnings of people with high school vs. people with degrees. If you're going to go to university, take something that is difficult and in damand. Don't bitch cause you can't find a job with an arts or phsycology degree, any moron can get these with multiple guess exams.

This guy is an idiot. Obviously he doesn't have a degree or a job, if he's making these videos on you tube.

@Kylepersonal Who's an idiot? Someone who makes ridiculous assumptions and non sequiturs perhaps?

[IncoherentCommenter]

this is your worst video. the number of college graduates massively outweighs the number of dropouts.

[DontGoToCollege]

@IncoherentCommenter Good point. Just because I didn't mention it in the video does not mean that I am not cognizant of that fact. Regardless of the raw numbers involved, it illustrates the fact that a college degree does not automatically equal a job. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching the videos!

@IncoherentCommenter You're comment just answered my assumptions. The definition of an idiot: people that don't go to college. See you next time I order a hamberburger in the drive thru...

And everybody's struggling now. Even "safe"degrees are seeing jobs cut. The big hospital in my state just laid off a ton of hospital staff and nurses earlier this month. Budget cuts. Teachers are being cut in my state left and right too. Nobody's safe right now unfortunately......but when the economy does come back strong, those with some education will be better suited. Most professional jobs these days want you to have a degree in something. Be real.

[KingB2K8]

The real problem is not having a degree and being unemployed, it's just that there aren't enough jobs to go around. Grads and nongrads are suffering now just the same. The abundance of jobs we do see now are low skill work that anybody can do - McDonald's, Walmart, general labor jobs. Sure, you don't need a degree for that, but that's mainly what is available now that the economy is in the hole. Don't write off education as a bad thing. If times were booming, bet you wouldn't feel this way.

Quit getting degrees in fields that have been saturated for decades. Adjust to the changing economy.
