If you have a college degree, you'll always have a good job, right? WRONG! Even if you went to Harvard...

Hate to say it but College is just a building of babysitters. A degree is just something that says; “We watched this person read a book that they could have read on their own”.

Unfortunately you need this to get a “decent” job, because even if you don’t know the job half as well as the man who has been doing it for years, you’ll be hired on at a greater wage.

@Indabaz For most careers, a college degree is unnecessary. If you can hustle and make things happen, you will be judged by your results. There are companies who are arrogant and may require college degree or prefer them. Forget about them. With that attitude they may not even be in business for much longer. The world is moving faster now. I'll have some video in the near future that address this very topic. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!

I was once told by a former co-worker who had a master's in education that while he was in grad school, there were students in his program who could not do simple algebra (2+y=4, what is the value of y?). Things that make you go Hmmmmm!

@veloreb I believe it. I had a friend whose mother was a government school teacher. There were math major teachers who told her they never really understood calculus. There was one teacher who could not tell time on an analog clock. Thanks for your comment!

The individuals that entered college over in proximity to the trade school I go to were not self-disciplined like I am so much as just being superficial and glib in their views. Views quasi to witch-hunting and just how mob thinking is. I was reflecting and dialoging about kangaroo courts and Vicious Cycles as food for thought that I have acquired via habitual self-discipline. I'm also certified for business over at the trade school and it did not cost me a dime.

@Swampymcswamp College classrooms promote groupthink and conformity. College students are taught to refer to this as "broadening your horizons".

"People goto college to get hired in their desired field."

Really?

How many Psychology majors are psychologists?

How many English majors are English teachers?

Most people go to college because of social conditioning and pick an easy major that has no relevance to any particular field.

It's an indictment of the academic mindset of students that believe everything a professor tells them...especially concerning worthless interpretations of literature.

That awesome moment that you know that Matt Damon was actually in Harvard!

@JeppyWick College does sabotage people who get a typical B.A. degree and get deep into debt for it. In my first video, I say that except for a few careers choices such as science (which includes engineering), medicine, and law, college is too expensive and not practical. Thanks for your comment.

College doesn't sabotage anyone. Some students sabotage themselves by not working hard. I am an electrical engineer and I could never learn this by reading books in the library, I have tried. I would never be where I am today if I didn't put forth the tremendous effort of meeting with professors and tutors daily and frankly, I know more than some people that have worked in electrical their whole life. Sometimes it's good to have a strong base before you build up experience.

A few years ago I was studying ( 3 month study program) to get 2 professional licenses. It was amazing how many college graduates could not pass the test and had to be let go. Really made me question the value of a degree. They could get a Bachelor's degree, but couldn't pass a test with their job on the line.
