"There is no darkness but ignorance." - Shakespeare, Twelfth Night. Go to college if you can, but be careful thinking that it's going to land you a job because it probably won't, especially if you're not going to professionalize yourself by obtaining a graduate degree. Instead, think of your undergrad as a way to learn how to think critically with logic and reason and express yourself in the same manner. It should also inspire a drive for lifelong learning to bring you out of the darkness and into the light.
Well spoken.....🙂
A good liberal arts education with extensive reading in literature, mathematics and history - what used to be a standard college's Humanities pre-major - is a very good foundation for life and one's ability to think. People like Trump tend to draw from those without the ability to see past his rhetoric and its authoritarian models in the past.
You may think you know it all, but trust me, you don't
You couldn't stop yourself, just couldn't. The TDS burns inside you. lol
Jealousy and stupidity are hard to combat. So, enjoy your attributes for the rest of your life !
@@victorblock3421 There is no such thing as TDS

We need more middle opinions, thanks Bill
I won't say Mr Maher is right or wrong about college/university but my case, he's absolutely right. I graduated with a BA in Public Administration and I minored in Philosphy.
During school, I worked as a tire tech for a major retailer.
I never used ny degree. In that job, I met people in that industry who helped, encouraged and now patronize my two undercarriage car repair shops (tires, brakes, exhaust, and suspension).
I thought i needed a degree to work in government. Not be a small businessman now in my 28th year.
Would you like your teacher/ doctor/ nurse/ engineer/ lawyer to have no higher education?
Exactly correct.
I graduated college over 40 years ago. In that time I have only worked for one company who had the intellectual brain power I saw on campus. Most companies I have been at have the thinking capacity of a bowl of gruel.
Now you’re just being silly. Of course not.
Would you like to live in a society where everyone is a teacher/doctor/nurse/engineer/lawyer?
Those people need degrees, but they have always been and will continue to be a small part of the population.
Those are the only ones that need college lol so if that’s not your field , what’s the point ?
How convenient it is for Bill Maher, and Ivy League Graduate, to tell others not to become educated.
I'm against Bill Maher
You're not getting his point.
@@JackieDaytona1776 No I got his "point". Perhaps your not getting MY POINT......
@@jpdurr why are you mad at me about it?
@@JackieDaytona1776 One understands the sentiment but it is unrealistic. College degrees are unnecessary, but the experience is not, and even that isn't enough often. When Bill runs the modern economy rather than saying words, we can take his opinion more seriously as he is hiring less than 99.9 percent worth the workforce. His gripe should be with workforce hiring practices rather than college.
For sure. Close the door behind you and remove the ladder after climbing! Typical privilege-speak!
didnt anyone see when he said about people with college degrees "they just make a lot more money." uh yes? thats the point and why its worth it.
I believe his point was that the debt accumulated to earn a degree offsets the "more money".
before that he said it was a ticket to the middle class, another point in favor of getting a degree
@theoverman827 it's not anymore though: college is a waste of time and money.
@@theoverman827when he said a ticket to the middle class, I took that as the same thing as someone paying money for a social status. You can have skill in a field and not have the education. If you are valuable enough the job will train you or probably have a computer algorithm doing someone’s job and just need someone to fill the role and maintain the machine.
@@0XxBesTofTheRestxX0 you can play semantics and take however you want but the fact remains everyone wants to be in the middle class because that’s what this country is about, and if you can find your ticket there without a degree or by doing some hard labor trade then go for it, I certainly don’t won’t to pound nails all my life.
Bill does NOT say people shouldn't go to college! He says not EVERYONE should go to college. "Everyone goes" IS a big scam. College should be for the intellectually talented who love learning and can handle traditional college-level material, which 3/4 of students can't (I teach them, I know). Not everyone should try to be in the NFL, either.
You can be quite intelligent and still not have gone to college. That's the problem nowadays everyone sees that piece of paper and instantly assumes that person must be highly intelligent when in reality all they've shown is that they can complete a task.
Bill Maher is absolutely correct about the complete and utter uselessness of a college degree for most jobs in the economy that actually exist. Although I have a college degree, it was never useful for work I have done throughout my life. I could have done all these jobs straight out of seventh grade (yes I was very talented and hard working).
Although I often agree with Bill, I would like to correct a misstatement he made. In fact, a college degree is NOT required for admission into medical, law, optometry, or pharmacy school. You can fact-check that with any school offering these degrees (a good source is the book entitled, "Medical School Admission Requirements" which an associate gave me when I was an undergraduate at U. C. Berkeley). It clearly states that a Bachelor's degree is NOT required for admission. You need the equivalent of the first two years of U.S. higher education, which many high school students can take through A.P. courses, or taking the relevant courses at a junior college at night or during summers while attending high school. The fact that most students and their parents don't verify this admission requirement is why they are bamboozled into bachelor degree programs, which are useless.
One commentator below mentioned that one of their children was passed over for a job for lack of having a bachelor's degree. Although most jobs don't require a degree for actually doing the job, Human Resources departments often weed out people who don't have one. That does not mean the job couldn't be done without the degree (but instead with one to two months worth of on-the-job training). Only that H.R. departments ask for one; but H.R. people are not the ones actually doing the job, they are just "reading their lines" during the interview.
I’m glad I went to college Bill, lt gave me confidence and strengthen my ability to look outside the box. I did poorly in high school and teachers didn’t believe in me. It’s not a scam, education is awesome, college needs to be cheaper. Trump is extremely dangerous, permanently say good bye to democracy in the U.S.! I would vote a can of soup before voting for Trump.
"Progreso, Libby's or Campbell's"....😂
This guy is so pompous and obnoxious. He thinks he’s way smarter than he actually is
You mistake his manner for his content. He is constantly admitting to his limits and correcting himself. He's just not meek and weasely about it. Half the "Kumbaya" people turn into wolves if you cross them. Deeds and content, not presentation.
I don't know about the return on getting a college degree. A union electrician or plumber. I should have done that. Some kind of government job. I'd still be working.
TRUE, Perhaps yet U should be PROUD of Urself for U chose NADA to be a follower/red-taper.....
College isn't what it used to be. You are better off now going into the trades. Now if you want to go into a STEM field, then you still need a degree. I went to college and sorry I did, never worked a job in my major nor a job that even required one.
Saying college is worthless is just as silly as saying if you don’t have a degree you’re worthless. Like most things, you get out what you put in.
It’s very easy for rich people who got a college education already (at Cornell) to look down and criticize others for trying to do the same.
Another case of 'do as I say not as I do':
Maher attended Cornell University, where he double-majored in English and history, and graduated in 1978.
The world has changed since 1978.
He's not saying that the small number of people who can HANDLE a difficult liberal-arts curriculum shouldn't go. Most people are not up to it. And in fact plumbers make three times what the average cubicle-dwelling BA does. The problem is this, plus the colleges have radically dumbed themselves down to pander to students and get money, so the CONTENT of a college education for most is definitely corrupted (I taught in college for years and the degradation was appalling).
He went and graduated college at a time when Degrees still meant something. Times have changed since. Too many people with degrees thus driving down wages for white collar jobs. Too many degree holders mean a race to the bottom.
It’s giving bitter
Time to get rid of that annoying horn music cbs.
I would love to be interviewed by Bill Maher. I will show him the new definition of boring. I like making people yawn, they don't talk as much then...
My son has been passed over because he doesn’t have a degree.
Compromise is not a four letter word…
Those flowers could have smell just by spraying a little bit of perfume of the flower that it is
Simple as that it would fool everybody
I didn't watch this segment and I quit watching Maher years ago - he used to be funny and thought provoking but now he just comes across as bitter and self-righteous.
Didn't he go to a college and earn a degree from it? He went to Cornell, an Ivy League University. He's an English major for Christ's sake.
Times have changed since he went and graduated. It meant something when he went, nowadays it doesn't.
Developed critical
thinking skills, an advanced grasp of scientific and mathematic principals, reading and writing skills, sociology, technology, fine arts and math…and the credentials to earn more $$
Right, a complete waste of time.
I went to college for 16 years.
Now I deliver pizza.
16 years??
I believe it
@@seacee4803
17 if you count lunch.
Do customers give bigger tips when you tell them how much education you have?
@@masterchinese28
I'm not capable of speaking.
So I never talk to them.
Because I can't.
I have an app that can talk for me but I have no reason to talk to these hungry peasants.
More alarming than what we saw last night at the debate? Please, Bill, we have a candidate who should be in elderly care and is being abused by his family and the leftwing media.
Mayer? No, it is pronounced Mahr.
how many ways do you say it???
bill = sponsored by aipac!
Totally disagree about college education. It was my ticket to a profession and out of poverty. Also, I was introduced to a much wider world and ideas. Sorry, Bill though I enjoy you shows and commentary, not with you on this concept.
I went to college, and it was my ticket TO POVERTY. Have never had a job that required one nor one that related to my major. I used to be all about going to college, the problem it everyone is encouraged to go to college and there is an oversupply of graduates, not enough jobs to go around and thus driving down wages of traditional white collar jobs
He's absolutely right. A college education does NOT make a person intelligent. Look at most politicians! Almost all the young people I know who are recent college graduates are not working in their fields. They learned on the job. I have forgotten 99% of what I learned in college and most of what I did learn was obsolete by the time I graduated. So, what is the point? Children should be encouraged by their parents and teachers when they are young to love learning and reading. They will learn more by independent research than learning by rote memorization and forgetting everything after taking a test. As someone who owned a business, some of my brightest workers did not have a college education and some of the stupidest with no common sense were college graduates.
The fact that he gaslights us into saying he hasn't changed is so frustrating. He's had multiple iterations over the years.
It's fine to change your opinion. Stop trying to convince us you haven't.
Bill is mostly wrong about a college education. It’s easy to prove by those of us who work with those who have it, and those who don’t.
If known plenty of incompetent and unqualified college grads. Depends on the degree and their intellectual maturity.
so clearly speaking for that vast middle non-millionaire, nonjewish-tv famous class -- what an every man.
I’m not a fan of bill maher, he’s neither funny nor smart.
Look at the nose on Bill. Like a money lender.
Autodidactic ♡¿♡¿
Bill is not funny he's a clown 🤡🐎🕳️😳😘
B
He must be grifting some book or tv show and needs clicks.
Yup!
Stay out of my lawn intelectual
Today's college education is in decline. It's not necessary anymore.
I think the cocaine has rotted his brain
Maher is a narcissist, Trump has never mentioned his name
You’re incorrect. Trump is a narcissist and HAS mentioned Bill.
FJB 😂
DJT for prison 2024
Ohh please
Let’s list Biden’s lies
Trumps list of lies is MUCH MUCH longer.
