 Many American universities now cost up to a hundred thousand dollars a year to attend and some of them aren't even the top schools Is college even worth it anymore? You know I want my child just to get a six-figure job But now they will have to work one year just to pay one year of tuition. It's crazy We got to talk about it and are the New York Times just dropped this article It's going viral right now saying some colleges will sue and charge a hundred thousand dollars per year How did this happen and of course and or it's got the internet up in arms because everybody enter if you're consuming a Concern about grocery prices wait till you get the hundred thousand dollars per year tuition ridiculous. Yeah, I mean I want to is this Inflate tuition or college flation. I don't know. I'm trying to think of a new term for you Let me know but David some of these colleges that are about to maybe they don't cost a hundred K right now But they're on their way because they have increasing tuition is Boston University Brown University Dartmouth College Harvard University UPenn USC Tufts University Wellesley and Yale now some of these are Ivy League schools, which I guess in a way I can more so understand But I'm not gonna lie guys University of Southern California because brawny went because all the celebrity kids go to US crazy I'm not gonna lie listen no shade to Boston University either, but that's not an Ivy League So for Boston University, what are you trying to say about Boston University? You're trying to say it's not worth a hundred thousand a year a hundred thousand dollars a year and you're not even the best school in Boston crazy Listen guys make sure you like subscribe turning your notifications We're gonna talk about university greed whatever you want to call it check out smile. I saw smile I saws.com available for pre-order right now. This goes good on anything By the way, and with the ninety five thousand dollar thing includes tuition board and other Expenses for example and or some people they charge extra to use the gym, you know Additional programs etc. Obviously it depends on what programs you're signed up. So this is kind of like a maxed out tuition Obviously, it is not 90 K off out the door It is kind of like if you stack on everything top meal plan probably top fitness plan and those colleges were all in the Northeast it's Boston is expensive But also they got Amherst University of Chicago Northwest from Georgetown Vassar Haverford Reed College They're pushing 75 K what are the pros in the cons because a lot of people are like at a hundred K per year How could it possibly be worth it? Obviously if you're from an elite family your family's rich you're going to Harvard You're just gonna cough up the money though, right? I mean it's situational Here are the pros of expensive colleges Andrew the prestige and reputation I mean listen, it's kind of worth it for Harvard and Yale and things like that I will admit it can be worth it still is what you make because everybody's gonna be like, oh, where'd you go? Please let me write this way sir the network who you're going to college with especially in your undergrad Andrew Oftentimes not everybody, but they're your buddies for life. Yeah. Yeah, and not just that I mean, it's the network that you get from the alumni network is also very important there because obviously a lot of very Well off or powerful or significant or elite people went to those colleges in the past and now it's easier to contact them Access to research in school funding. Yeah, they do have big endowments big research budgets, etc Obviously if you're in STEM fields, it depends on their individual college ranking though for that industry more involved activities Alumni involvement and more individual focus. Yeah, I mean usually if you're gonna pay that much you do probably have more You don't have to wait as long to talk to a counselor or yeah extra help. It's true And we went to the University of Washington trying to get your classes and staying up till 4 a.m. Was crazy. Oh When you had to wait So the way I don't know how it is at other colleges, but I know at these big public universities We have to wake up at a certain time to sign up for classes And it's like getting you're like rushing to buy something that's gonna sell out online like Black Friday online sales Yeah, exactly. And then sometimes you're like, oh, I didn't get the class. I like woke up 10 minutes late Unlikely to happen if you're paying $90,000 for school, right, right, right cons of expensive colleges If you don't make the most of it, you're in gigantic debt that you'll be paying off forever. That's crazy Obviously it depends like some people they go to these expensive schools. They don't maximize their experience people Just think you're a rich kid, but I mean, I would say listen Actually, one of the biggest pros is if you go to an expensive college is that if you got Legit financial aid or some type of scholarship and you make the most of it then in a way you got the best deal Mmm, I will say this people just thinking you're a useless rich kid. That's more for USC NYU though Let's be honest See you rich and you connected and you smart I know a lot of people from USC and some of them aren't going off to do good things and some of them Partied a quality of actual education classes is not necessarily better depending on your field of study or focus Yeah, and again like true usually the public schools are bigger So you got like I was in a classroom with like 500 600 other people Obviously, it doesn't feel very personal in that but that was like an elective. I didn't really care about it So obviously it all depends on really what your own driving power is and what your focus is Yeah, I mean, I don't think anybody given the same price Everybody should go to the best cop college for their given field of study though Right, right like if ever all things equal generally, it's better. So David. Obviously, we're gonna get in the comment section But is college still worth it to this day? Like now I'm not obviously for a hundred case some people literally just should not do it They can't afford it obviously some of them are top schools, but if it's not the top school Why pay that much for sure for sure. I think the equation is changing I think it depends on how much money your family has how much are you realistically going to take advantage of your situation both on a professional Personal development and social development level like argue the type of person where you're just watching anime and playing video games in your room Or whatever shows, you know, I mean doesn't got to be anime, but like then you're just isolated, right? You're not taking advantage of everything that's available to you anyway Let's get in the comment section somebody said man The whole cost of all colleges is super bloated nowadays due to so much Administration costs and other people are saying that they know that students are just picking based on facilities and amenities nowadays Rather than education so it makes the schools pump more money into the facilities to attract more students But then that raises the tuition. Oh, that's really interesting. I didn't know I didn't know if that's true or not Let us know in the comments down below all you recent college grads Like what like is it worth it to go and pay a lot for school or especially for your situation? Right somebody said a country that allows organizations to prey upon its youth is doomed Obviously, this was from the crowd Andrew of dooma is basically saying that higher education in America Even though it's supposed to be best in the world is now all for profit. Yeah, it's kind of crazy I mean recently I believe the Biden administration just forgave a bunch of loans They gave forgave a lot. So if the universities are thinking, oh, well, you know Once in a while the president's just gonna wipe all those loans out and paying back for you Then why not charge these kids a lot for sure somebody said after getting my bachelor's an MBA I don't think I'd do the same if I was in high school. I'd rather go to trade school Some people said yeah, man, how come everybody's skipping off being a plumber garage door fixer a contractor They make bank and you don't go into debt to study for those things Yeah, I think a lot of people are talking about it right now. I mean You you live a different lifestyle when you're in those like high-paid blue collar professions too though And I feel like there's a lot of identarian things going on Oh, I don't identify as a blue collar person even though algorithmically There's some logic. No, like what if people just want to be cool and then all they think is like, oh the best school It's the coolest school. It's a cool school costs a lot. I want to go there. Right, right, right People are talking about how higher education in general is a scam somebody just said yeah It's not a scam But if you basically don't know what you're doing and you blindly apply for overpriced universities It absolutely is a scam. Yeah, I agree. Listen, it is not really a scam if you make the most out of it That's what I tell every college kid that I meet because like Some people they really don't maximize their college. It's true If you just step into college and you do the bare minimum It may not be worth it. It's true. It really may not be you might have been better off like even joining I don't want to say the military just because you don't want to get embroiled in a foreign conflict But like something like that. No, I mean, yeah I mean but like working in the industry at a low level for a couple years rising up that way then that's like real life Experience it also really depends on your goals. Like if your goal is to just make money for your family You don't need to go to college. You do not need to go to college to start making money for your family And then rise up and make a lot of money. You really don't right But you need at least a master's degree in common sense to do that. Yes You got to be sharp to do that, but you don't not do not need a degree, right? Somebody just said ridiculous and this of course even none of this even guarantees that graduates will get a high paying job And somebody say well, no it does if they go to Ivy League school They'll have so many opportunities to go into whatever field they choose I mean those things are like they're both true and not true, right? I mean like it depends on what you major in in the university. What's your GPA? How motivated do you seem in the interviews? You know what I mean? Like if you go work at nonprofit Obviously, it's never highly paid unless you like do some scam stuff. Somebody said what's up with the USA? Somebody said it's a dying empire. It's just greed and uneducated people have taken over politically and economically There is a loss of morals in our country. Somebody said Joe to go to junior college I would recommend this if you are in a state or a school district that offers running start Which allows you to get community college credits towards your bachelor of arts your BA in your in high school Maybe take advantage of that Right, there's a lot of like Outside way outside of the box thinking that you can apply to this situation to avoid the hundred K per year colleges Somebody said man, this is why people don't want to have kids anymore Oh, everybody's just trying to flex on everybody about what school they can get their kids into and what they can afford And this person ultimately said listen I went to a mediocre college and I'm doing better than some of the Asians I know who went to Ivy League schools because ultimately it's your work ethic that gets you far in the high-paying jobs And your ability to just get stuff done. Yeah, it is your go-getter attitude. It's your way of presenting yourself It's your networking. It's your work ethic I think all those if you actually are strong on all of those metrics like you have Motivation you know how to present yourself you know how to network and you know how to go get after things You're not scared of getting rejected and you're not scared to be a rejected Then you are literally already better off than like probably 95% of college students I do think that obviously having a name brand college attached to you. It helps it of course and having the name brand attached to it it it just enhances everything But really what's gonna make or break you is yourself Absolutely guys listen, I always say in life. We're all like different types of like robot vacuums You know what differentiates Andrew the most expensive robot vacuums They're able to map the floor and go through barriers where the other robot vacuums that are like the cheaper $80 ones They can't you know, they just hit the chair leg and they bram bram bram freeze freeze can't go any further Technically the $800 robot vacuums should be able to just be like figure it out You know and go forward in life and have forward motion. Listen the college You go to does not determine your price tier of Roomba that you are as a human Ultimately, I'll say this I think that the world is changing and I do think it's trending away from formal education Because the world is changing so fast that some of the information you learn in school is becoming like outmoded Do you know what I mean? Cuz Andrew, I know some kids that are just like trading crypto and got rich off Solana They just went to like a whatever college and they're about to retire like next year Like that in 2024 then I wouldn't recommend everybody go chase crypto either and retire early, but you know cuz those Maybe is not like a real job in a sense But at the end of the day if that is your goal is like you just want to make money Then there are a million ways to make money for your family and support yourself in America And that's a great America's actually an amazing country to make money without formal education Right, it's actually an incredible place to do that. You can stock trade you can trade crypto You can literally do real estate. You don't need a college degree for that You can do a bunch of stuff. You can even start coding. You don't need a college degree You just need a coding degree or some coding background. You know what I mean? So anyways, yes name brand colleges in short name brand colleges still matter But they don't matter as much as they used to more focus on what you're able to deliver and just like put into the world Yeah, and what you want to focus on guys anyways, so in a way is college worth it It just depends on your motivations and what you want out of life and what you can do honestly But anyways guys let us know in the comments down below if you have any insight if you just graduated from college and have Some other opinions on this until next time we out peace
