I dropped out of college after changing my major 3 times and my parents didn't want to finance it any longer. I was depressed about at first but looking back after realizing that I am making THE SAME in my field (lab tech) as most lab techs with biology degrees, feeling not nearly as bad now. My exGF got herself into $300,000 STUDENT LOANS after becoming a Pharmacist. First $100,000 for 2 years of medical school (dropped out 1/2 way), then 3 years of pharmacy school to end up making THE SAME AS A WALMART TRUCK DRIVER with just a GED/High school diploma. If you have a SKILLED TRADE and know people, social networking etc, you can have a VERY GOOD JOB and live conformably. I know a few high-school teachers personally, who are STRUGGLING to live on their current paycheck. In my county in metro Atlanta, freshly graduated HS teachers make $45,000... about the same as a TRASH COLLECTOR. Don't become a debt slave for a piece of paper. Get a SCHOLARSHIP etc or work and do school part time... or TRADE SCHOOL. YOU NEED SKILLED TRADES OR TECHNICAL EDUCATION (STEM etc.).
Yes. I have a math degree and while I failed 3 classes and it took 8 years, I was on scholarship and only paid about $3,000.00 total for the courses I failed. :) My degree was free lol. I worked at a private bank for the last year as a data analyst. The people are my job sucked so I left 2 weeks ago and I have another interview this week. Supply and demand. I'm considering a master's now :)
Your GF lacks resilience or intelligence. My close friend graduate as a doctor 16 years ago. He works in the ER, has 2 clinics and does plastic surgery. The money he makes is off the charts.
I'm a boomer with eyes to see and you're "spot on". The thing that I don't like about my generation and the generations after me is that they still live in those days in their minds and cannot see that we no longer live in those days and that things have changed dramatically. I feel so sorry for the youth these days it's going to get even tougher for us all. Do what you can young one and believe me you are on the path to real realization unlike many old and young who still live in a fantasy bubble.
The world is still run by boomers who think it's normal to be selfish and greedy. It's shameful too that our world's become a scheme that favors the stock market and industries that profit from harming people. Feel bad for youth seeing grown people turning their backs on others.
It sucks because not only is this a struggle but people my age are in that bubble and I can’t find anybody like me because of it, I have friends but they don’t live in the same world I live in and it feels pretty lonely, I don’t even know what I’m going to do as a career yet and I’m going to graduate in a few months, never felt more lost. I’m trying to find my passion but I might just have to find a job that pays me enough to take care of myself and that’s it.
@@MaintenanceForYou Think about what "drives" you. We all need money unfortunately but think of what paid work might at least be compatible with who you are and what you want to become.
I went to college at 25 graduated at 30 worked full time while putting myself through a bachelor in psychology to have a better career. I was shocked after I graduated and found out the degree was pointless. I could have gotten the same job without the degree but I didn't know that 6 years ago. Im paying it off as of 3 months ago and it hurts because I genuinely thought the degree would help increase my earning potential. I got straight As graduated with a 3.99 but it didn't help me make any money.
how exactly did you think at 25 years old that a degree in psychology would improve your career opportunities unless you wanted to work in psychotherapy? genuinely curious. i mean lots of 18 year old kids go into college majoring in that but the advantage of starting college later in life is that you don't major in shit you don't want a career in.
t might seem like a waste of money, but it depends on what people aim to achieve. For instance, becoming a doctor requires a degree. It's fascinating that in ancient Greece, without degrees, people were simply curious about human anatomy, learning through observation and curiosity about how things function. The same goes for biology, understanding mechanisms, studying, and developing ideas. The issue arises when, once you have an idea, the wealthy may try to capitalize on it, investing and such, which is likely how universities began. It's all about the pursuit of knowledge, which these affluent individuals turn into profitable businesses.
i am a truck driver. Met a 24 year old kid at a terminal and he was so happy he only did one semester of college. I congratulated him and I thought it was funny that I'm so happy that he's financially okay, but we are blue collar and uneducated. never go to college unless you WILL make me money.
Yup depending on the trade it's good, but some just go in without knowing much or having a passion then they leave the job and some continue trucking and some get lost on the way.
@@toukendanshiwarrior2846 yes you have to go through some school to drive a tractor-trailer. my CDL school was 10 weeks but you can find places that are 10x more expensive that'll get you a CDL in a few days. edit: that's actually a lie you don't need to go to school, but you'll need your own semi to take a test and that's like $200. most jobs want to see that you've got some safety certificate, but if you just have a buddy who needs you to move dirt you'll get by on experience.
I actually agree with him. In the past 2 years of my degree, I enjoyed it. But my third year I actually realised the truth. A degree only brings class drama and constantly. I'm constant battle with worry if you're ever gonna get a job. If I just pause and think what I really want to do. For example, . Online school ,get a part-time job and evenings do illustrations as a side hustle ,i probelery be more happy.

every decision is definitely a risk, HOWEVER you gotta look at it from this point of view, WHY waste 4+ years going to meaningless classes where you get no experience and no REAL skills, while u could spend those same 4+ years learning different skills, getting real experience and getting REAL money...
I got my degree in mechanical engineering, got a job at a medical device company as a manufacturing engineer. I make good money but I fucking hate it lol. I think about quitting all the time, I wake up every morning and dread coming into work. Could be worse I guess.
Preach. College is a scam. It's not what it used to be back in the day. Also now realizing I'm writing my resumes incorrectly, I didn't know you were supposed to write all that stuff on there. :( lol.
Young People. Education is everything. Never stop learning. When you climb a mountain, be focused on the next step, then the next, maybe a side step, hustle and enjoy the prize at the top. A steady progression beats a quick buck.
I’s good that you realized this from a young age. It took me too long to realize college was just a scam. My older sister didn’t go to college and is making a lot of money while I was taking out student loans to pay for college. Now college really get me anywhere in fact it made my life harder. The advice you give is very true if you want to achieve something you have to work at it every day consistently and you must be willingly to learn. After all going to college is to learn after you done with college some people end their learning their but in order to succeed you must continue to learn.
I agree with your outlook when i was younger i went to college, and it wasn't for me. Did welding as a trade grow a passion for it, got myself a nestegg and now im working towards my bachelors i do plan on enlisting later to help pay for tuiton
This is what I'd been saying to people for years and people criticize me very harshly like I just slap in their mother face. Let me tell you the ugly truth because people refuse to accept is that college is business. What does that mean? They must make a profit! Where does the profit come from? All of the money these education institutions get from the student loan! So what does an 17 or 18 year old know about money?????? This is when these young kids become a target for these greedy schools. "So oops if you can't find a job after graduating too bad. Its your responsibility not ours we didn't force you." What I find to be so ridiculous is you can file bankruptcy for mortgage, credit card, and auto debt..etc but not school loans. The government and these schools should be held accountable for this because they are the ones propagandize and brainwashing young people to this degree myth by providing all of these loans they know these kids can never afford to pay back. They are in bed together and have an evil agenda and their objective is to turn every people to becoming a modern day slave except you don't work in the plantation field and because when you're in debt you will rely on them and they can control every aspect of your life. The bottom line you are screwed!
Yep! The kids from rich or connected families will be ok though. It's shameful that young people are taken advantage of. We should be protecting and helping the young so they're not enslaved by debt but we do the opposite.
I was pursuing a degree but decided to ditch it midway to kickstart my own trading business. Surprisingly, I'm now pulling in double what I would have in my original field, and the best part? I'm my own boss. It just goes to show, degrees only hold value if you know how to leverage them to the fullest or to earn money to build something.
hey man would you care to show me some insight I am a 17 year old wanting to learn from some other business owners. As I want to be a fellow entrepreneur.
@@MasonMcNeill-n6pMy only advice is: What ever it is you want to do, don´t wait for the perfect moment, just start doing. I wasnt reading 500 books about markets before i started trading, just do it. Learn in the process.
@@jtrades_Trading is seen by many as a solopreneurship. You have to treat it like a business to make a living, thats 4 sure. People outside of trading mostly dont understand this.

Worst thing is if youre on a student visa and not a green card. Then it gets 30x more challenging. Out here with 7 years of experience cant get a job since a month and half of applying. 80% of them require GC or citizenship 😫 Edit: Oh this is life after a layoff btw
This is so real, man. I’m a junior in high school, and I don’t know what I’m gonna do in the future. I kinda have an idea of what I wanna major in and do, but the job doesn’t even pay well enough in this economy. I’m not sure if I even wanna go to college at this point because would being in debt be worth it if my degree barely gets me anywhere?
I’m a senior and I don’t know either, I don’t want to do college as I’m extremely depressed. Also my nose is super crooked from being broken, and I hope I can get it fixed so I’m not insecure.
get a trade bruh. college is worthless when everyone has it. use your logic. you are a man, not a woman. don't follow the herd lol. use your logic and be decisive; don't use emotion. you know trade is a good choice and the best choice. just gotta go for it
@@Silvia.AraujoI feel you man. I’m not looking to be super duper rich. I just want a job where I do 9-5 and have enough time for myself too and eventually retire.
I am a student in college it's my first year actually right now I am in the second semester. I changed my major from literature to business administration. I was planning to be an author and if I have to be one I have to go to college to learn more about writing. while my family and everyone kept mocking me cause I chose this kind of major. I was a bit stressed. and found out I am going to change it to business so my family can be proud of me. especially i am the first person who has gone to college. after I got this major not knowing what is it and how to do it. I chose it because my family mocked me for liking to write. after that I wait for my family and the people around me will be happy that I change my major for something I can make money for my family. But guess what!!!! they didn't care about it they mocked me even more. I got into depression. and after getting a scholarship I noticed that I was ruining my life. like a girl who spent her life for 15 years just studying middle- high -college. not knowing what to do just studying what I was doing to make them say to me "I am proud of you" Nah it didn't work. they will ask why you are not like this person. you're a failure, you're not doing enough, you're not perfect, etc. Now I want to drop out of college cause for years I didn't know what I was living for. like a machine for studying. not having social skills very introvert. cant cook. not confident about anything. like I want to drop out so bad but I know I will be mocked again forever. I am losing myself immediately - middle child depression.
I'm an 18 year old student, I'm in college this school year, college doesn't connect the purpose of my dreams. Im poor, and i can't afford of what i need to continue pursue my dreams because of college tuition. Ive tried everything to do a side hustle to earn some money to save money, but a lot of people in my area doesn't interested, especially my dreams which is drawing. I have so many doubts and hopes pulling my arms which side im gonna choose. I sometimes think it's hopeless, but also think that there is still hope. My dream is getting expensive and college make me poor because of tuition.
I dropped out of college. I'm working on skateboarding, meditate, physical therapy because i never got my legs physical therapy with a real doctor. I've been shot with real guns. I live in the ghetto, i screwed up my mom's life, shes the one that took care of me. My friends tell me this isn't your fault. I go to work thinking about my problems. I'm sharp in my work. My co workers tell me that. So thats something good. I'm trying to get my auntie and my cousins to meditate because i know how they are. I remember telling my next door neighbor,"maybe God sent me here to this neighborhood. I don't say hello to my other next door neighbor anymore. I screwed up with him. I'm in the apartment meditating because my negative words and my negative energy comes out randomly. So i disapline myself by meditating till I fall asleep. I only say hello to people when they say hello first. Things are screwed up. I'm just living. Have fun, and be safe.
I want to be a successful music artist in the worst way. I love singing/rapping, writing music, and the freedom that comes with creative thought. But it's next to impossible to gain a following and a loyal fanbase. Not many people are willing to give you a chance. And right now its not bringing in a lot of money. I also own a couple businesses, online distributorships that funds all of it but I need the security. Thats why planning on going back to school to become a firefighter. But I'm always battling with myself because I want this music to work in the worst way, but I also need to survive. I don't plan on giving up though, I never will.
Just do it as a passionate, side hobby. Don’t put all your eggs in the music basket because when it doesn’t work out, you’ll be resentful and poor. There’s also an age limit for the music industry. 30-50 year olds aren’t marketable.
You are speaking the facts. School itself is a business. I have friend spend thousands of dollars going to school and graduated but end up opening her own restaurant.

I studied for 3 years at college and received 3 certificates calling me a "qualified structural draughtsman". I might as well wipe my ass with those certificates, because all the dumb students got the same thing I got, and I actually graduated as the top student. The work place on the other hand is a different beast. I realized how underqualified I was, and that there is always another older guy with more experience who is willing to throw his life away to work 12 hours per day behind a screen. I quit that field altogether because I am not willing to wageslave so hard for subpar pay and a terrible work environment. I am now teaching myself how to make money from home by doing online jobs, UA-cam and forex trading. Forex looks incredibly promising, but there is so much bs you have to work through, because the industry itself in the education department is a minefield, and your emotions literally cost you money if you're not trading with discipline and proper risk management.
@@DagnirRen Trading is not a scam. People are a scam... mostly. You have to teach yourself for free. It's gonna take long and painful work, and you're gonna have to go against your own human nature in trading. Humans are not biologically designed to trade the markets by default. If you are not willing to go through that hard learning phase and refining your trading through years of experience, then you can't make consistent and safe gains out of the markets. Let me help you a little: Learn about technical analysis, fundamental analysis, market correlation, risk management, trade management and strategy (strategy doesn't make you a good trader) There are hedge fund managers who make money with even a 20% win rate strategy, because they're just THAT good at managing risk. Cut your losses short immediately when your analysis is invalidated. Don't let your losses grow, ever! Let your winners run, and perhaps even add to them. Don't fall for this bs that there's some "magical strategy" out there. There isn't. A strategy is simply a set of discretionary or mechanical rules to enter yourself in the market, but from there, your risk management will determine whether your account goes up or down. Oh, and avoid trading charts lower than 1H. You can use them for entries, but the low time frames are just noise, and the spreads will kill your account if you're trading on such a low time frame. Stick to 1H, 4H and Daily.
@@alexicanyeet9734 I prefer CFDs. My country allows CFDs, and my broker is regulated. Futures requires a very large amount of money to even start out with, and the barrier to entry is a bit ridiculous for someone only wants to get their foot into the door with trading.
I agreed college doesn't teach you about real life jobs. Depending on how you see it, it's somewhat a waste of time. I discuss this with my buddy...I say the degree help if you're extrovert person or a social person because most jobs required you to be a bit talkative and expressive but if you have a degree as an extrovert...it only helps enhance your status. But if you're introvert, the degree doesn't help much since you don't talk that much...so it is important to start getting job experience early and then you can move up quickly based on experience alone and not having to compete later on with extrovert person that are more expressive and convincing at job interviews. Colleges don't teach you about job skills. It is more like a place to help you growth as person in your thought process, advancing your critical thinking skills, your social skills, ect.. so that you become mature when you enter the job environment. Can one acquire these skills by not going to schools? Absolutely. So, the idea that one has to go to schools to get good jobs can be a hit and miss. The graduates will feel relieve and sense of accomplishment for getting a degree, only to realize they couldn't find a job because they don't hire people for just degrees alone, but on experience. That's the sad true stories for many out there.

The problem is not having a mission path. Some might not need college but some do because it aligns with their mission path. The more conviction and clarity in your contribution and objectives the less bloat you need for employment. The ultimate mission plan is self sufficiency.

Also everyone glorifies AI without thinking about the fact that it's going to take even more jobs away from the people. The rich don't care whether you have or don't have, it's all about them and they'll sell you down the river no problem at all, while expecting you to still pay them back.
At 3:17 "you could get fired out of nowhere" - And that's why you Americans need to update your labour laws. Here in glorious EU (and most of the developed world) you have to be given a 30 day notice period. You know, it's a basic thing in employment like 28 days of paid annual leave or paid sick days. It's beyond me why would Americans work without these basic laws.
According to Legion Magazine, American factories produced more tanks, ships, airplanes, and shells than Britain and the USSR combined. This allowed the Americans to defeat Japan. The United States has a large amount of natural resources, while European countries often have to pay for these from overseas. The U.S. also has a large fleet of nuclear-capable ballistic missile submarines, which could allow the U.S. to launch stealth attacks on enemy naval vessels. However, the cost of living in the United States is significantly higher than across Europe on average. Basic expenses for a single adult with no children in the U.S. is $2,508, compared to an average $1,746 per month in Europe.

Do it bro. My cousin did a sound engineer degree and he’s in the industry now. I tried to chase the paper doing electrical engineering and realized I hate it. Now I’m finish my IT degree and doing game development on the side. Being a Lawyer doesn’t guarantee money(from what I’ve heard and watching better call saul).

its either music production or starting a business.btw a sound engineering degree is pretty much useless lol especially if hes doing it for the music industry and not say,movies and shit.music is so oversaturated bro like less than 1% of producers even make any money to live off from it according to what people are saying,so idk if its even worth my time and not sure what else id even have potential in tbh. just turned 22 so idk if music is even worth it rn,i need bread asap.also im in the uk @@DagnirRen
Many people with those degrees are struggling too. I remember 10 or so years ago when I was in college, and everybody thought computer science was an automatic golden ticket to an upper middle class life. Now? Not so much thanks to A.I.
@@shean991 Let me give you some advice kid, you can start your own business with the education you get from college. If you have a engineering degree, you can design products and sell it. If you can write books, you can write books and sell it. If you are knowledgeable about a subject, you can write a book about that and have a publisher publish it. If you become a medical doctor, you can open your open medical practice. If you become an accountant, and get your CPA license, you can open your own practice. If you become a lawyer, you can open your law practice. If you become a software engineer, you can make your own software and sell it. You a lot more opportunities if you have something in your head than having a empty head.
Unfortunately though without a degree most jobs won’t look at your resume. Doesn’t matter if it’s in the field or not, many people work in completely different areas.
That is a good outlook on life, one thing that is killing society and humanity is people not having the ability to see other people be successful and happy, having the ability to be happy for others breads love amongst people, if everyone thought like that there would be a lot more people who would feel inclined to help people who struggle in life or are less fortunate.

edit: that's actually a lie you don't need to go to school, but you'll need your own semi to take a test and that's like $200. most jobs want to see that you've got some safety certificate, but if you just have a buddy who needs you to move dirt you'll get by on experience.
I actually agree with him. In the past 2 years of my degree, I enjoyed it. But my third year I actually realised the truth. A degree only brings class drama and constantly. I'm constant battle with worry if you're ever gonna get a job. If I just pause and think what I really want to do. For example, . Online school ,get a part-time job and evenings do illustrations as a side hustle ,i probelery be more happy.
Facts please don’t give up we need you
feel like im being talked to by a wise uber driver. so good dude
lol
It might seem like a waste of money, but it depends on what people aim to achieve. For instance, becoming a doctor requires a degree. It's fascinating that in ancient Greece, without degrees, people were simply curious about human anatomy, learning through observation and curiosity about how things function. The same goes for biology, understanding mechanisms, studying, and developing ideas. The issue arises when, once you have an idea, the wealthy may try to capitalize on it, investing and such, which is likely how universities began. It's all about the pursuit of knowledge, which these affluent individuals turn into profitable businesses.
As someone who is still in their first year of college and trying to start a side business, i needed to hear this.
It's a blessing just to HAVE a job. Any job. Every decision is a risk. Going or not going.
every decision is definitely a risk, HOWEVER you gotta look at it from this point of view, WHY waste 4+ years going to meaningless classes where you get no experience and no REAL skills, while u could spend those same 4+ years learning different skills, getting real experience and getting REAL money...
But if you have a job that is shit and pays shit then it's much more of a burden than blessing
My man spitting facts as always...
You are both smart and sensitive at the same time, which can be both a blessing and a curse. I wish you the best
I love this guy and watching his videos he’s a truth speaker I’m glad he woke up from the Matrix
What matrix? Oh, you Tate fanboys 😂
just say "the rat race"
I'm glad I found his channel
Just say the capitalist cycle 😂
So true. Gonna instill this in my son. It was hard lesson I learned too late in my life.
trade school is a meme at this point, it's almost as expensive as college.
Excellent. I'm so happy i'm not the only one thinking this way.
I got my degree in mechanical engineering, got a job at a medical device company as a manufacturing engineer. I make good money but I fucking hate it lol. I think about quitting all the time, I wake up every morning and dread coming into work. Could be worse I guess.
What did you want to do initially
cousin went to study construction, for what? he works in a hospital cleaning lol
Preach. College is a scam. It's not what it used to be back in the day.
Also now realizing I'm writing my resumes incorrectly, I didn't know you were supposed to write all that stuff on there. :( lol.
Yeah. Only recently did I know about companies using automated software that scans for keywords in resumes.
You're a very wise young man who will go far in life. Being wise will take you further than any degree.
Young People. Education is everything. Never stop learning. When you climb a mountain, be focused on the next step, then the next, maybe a side step, hustle and enjoy the prize at the top.
A steady progression beats a quick buck.
I’s good that you realized this from a young age. It took me too long to realize college was just a scam. My older sister didn’t go to college and is making a lot of money while I was taking out student loans to pay for college. Now college really get me anywhere in fact it made my life harder. The advice you give is very true if you want to achieve something you have to work at it every day consistently and you must be willingly to learn. After all going to college is to learn after you done with college some people end their learning their but in order to succeed you must continue to learn.
Got a ton of value out of this video, good job bro ❤
this guy talks about the core problem, the unspoken things, i support what he says !!!
I agree with your outlook when i was younger i went to college, and it wasn't for me. Did welding as a trade grow a passion for it, got myself a nestegg and now im working towards my bachelors i do plan on enlisting later to help pay for tuiton
Glad you figured out the answers to your problems. Now please listen to yourself. You're spot on!
You are so real man.
This is what I'd been saying to people for years and people criticize me very harshly like I just slap in their mother face. Let me tell you the ugly truth because people refuse to accept is that college is business. What does that mean? They must make a profit! Where does the profit come from? All of the money these education institutions get from the student loan! So what does an 17 or 18 year old know about money?????? This is when these young kids become a target for these greedy schools. "So oops if you can't find a job after graduating too bad. Its your responsibility not ours we didn't force you." What I find to be so ridiculous is you can file bankruptcy for mortgage, credit card, and auto debt..etc but not school loans. The government and these schools should be held accountable for this because they are the ones propagandize and brainwashing young people to this degree myth by providing all of these loans they know these kids can never afford to pay back. They are in bed together and have an evil agenda and their objective is to turn every people to becoming a modern day slave except you don't work in the plantation field and because when you're in debt you will rely on them and they can control every aspect of your life. The bottom line you are screwed!
Yep! The kids from rich or connected families will be ok though. It's shameful that young people are taken advantage of. We should be protecting and helping the young so they're not enslaved by debt but we do the opposite.
I was pursuing a degree but decided to ditch it midway to kickstart my own trading business. Surprisingly, I'm now pulling in double what I would have in my original field, and the best part? I'm my own boss. It just goes to show, degrees only hold value if you know how to leverage them to the fullest or to earn money to build something.
hey man would you care to show me some insight I am a 17 year old wanting to learn from some other business owners. As I want to be a fellow entrepreneur.
@@MasonMcNeill-n6pMy only advice is: What ever it is you want to do, don´t wait for the perfect moment, just start doing. I wasnt reading 500 books about markets before i started trading, just do it. Learn in the process.
whats a trading business?
@@jtrades_Trading is seen by many as a solopreneurship. You have to treat it like a business to make a living, thats 4 sure. People outside of trading mostly dont understand this.

❤ Seen many documentaries , What you said really stands out
You know things are getting bad when a lot of the low wage jobs are getting occupied by people 50 years and older.
and cost of rent is high, especially in nyc
facts 👌 nailed every point
Very smart man, i have no words what to say. Thank you for making this video.
Worst thing is if youre on a student visa and not a green card. Then it gets 30x more challenging. Out here with 7 years of experience cant get a job since a month and half of applying. 80% of them require GC or citizenship 😫
Edit: Oh this is life after a layoff btw
Don't go to college, become self-employed
@mulonzee8773 when you put in the work you can become your own boss all ot takes it hardwork
im the ceo of yapping
starting my own Q&A website
This is so real, man. I’m a junior in high school, and I don’t know what I’m gonna do in the future. I kinda have an idea of what I wanna major in and do, but the job doesn’t even pay well enough in this economy. I’m not sure if I even wanna go to college at this point because would being in debt be worth it if my degree barely gets me anywhere?
Literally. Im wondering if it’s even worth it?
I’m a senior and I don’t know either, I don’t want to do college as I’m extremely depressed. Also my nose is super crooked from being broken, and I hope I can get it fixed so I’m not insecure.
get a trade bruh. college is worthless when everyone has it. use your logic. you are a man, not a woman. don't follow the herd lol. use your logic and be decisive; don't use emotion. you know trade is a good choice and the best choice. just gotta go for it
@@Silvia.AraujoI feel you man. I’m not looking to be super duper rich. I just want a job where I do 9-5 and have enough time for myself too and eventually retire.
@@Silvia.Araujo Same I don’t really wanna go either maybe u can take a gap year
I am a student in college it's my first year actually right now I am in the second semester. I changed my major from literature to business administration. I was planning to be an author and if I have to be one I have to go to college to learn more about writing. while my family and everyone kept mocking me cause I chose this kind of major. I was a bit stressed. and found out I am going to change it to business so my family can be proud of me. especially i am the first person who has gone to college. after I got this major not knowing what is it and how to do it. I chose it because my family mocked me for liking to write. after that I wait for my family and the people around me will be happy that I change my major for something I can make money for my family. But guess what!!!! they didn't care about it they mocked me even more. I got into depression. and after getting a scholarship I noticed that I was ruining my life. like a girl who spent her life for 15 years just studying middle- high -college. not knowing what to do just studying what I was doing to make them say to me "I am proud of you" Nah it didn't work. they will ask why you are not like this person. you're a failure, you're not doing enough, you're not perfect, etc. Now I want to drop out of college cause for years I didn't know what I was living for. like a machine for studying. not having social skills very introvert. cant cook. not confident about anything. like I want to drop out so bad but I know I will be mocked again forever. I am losing myself immediately - middle child depression.
I'm an 18 year old student, I'm in college this school year, college doesn't connect the purpose of my dreams. Im poor, and i can't afford of what i need to continue pursue my dreams because of college tuition. Ive tried everything to do a side hustle to earn some money to save money, but a lot of people in my area doesn't interested, especially my dreams which is drawing. I have so many doubts and hopes pulling my arms which side im gonna choose. I sometimes think it's hopeless, but also think that there is still hope.
My dream is getting expensive and college make me poor because of tuition.
I dropped out of college. I'm working on skateboarding, meditate, physical therapy because i never got my legs physical therapy with a real doctor. I've been shot with real guns. I live in the ghetto, i screwed up my mom's life, shes the one that took care of me. My friends tell me this isn't your fault. I go to work thinking about my problems. I'm sharp in my work. My co workers tell me that. So thats something good. I'm trying to get my auntie and my cousins to meditate because i know how they are. I remember telling my next door neighbor,"maybe God sent me here to this neighborhood. I don't say hello to my other next door neighbor anymore. I screwed up with him. I'm in the apartment meditating because my negative words and my negative energy comes out randomly. So i disapline myself by meditating till I fall asleep. I only say hello to people when they say hello first. Things are screwed up. I'm just living. Have fun, and be safe.
I want to be a successful music artist in the worst way. I love singing/rapping, writing music, and the freedom that comes with creative thought. But it's next to impossible to gain a following and a loyal fanbase. Not many people are willing to give you a chance. And right now its not bringing in a lot of money. I also own a couple businesses, online distributorships that funds all of it but I need the security. Thats why planning on going back to school to become a firefighter. But I'm always battling with myself because I want this music to work in the worst way, but I also need to survive. I don't plan on giving up though, I never will.
Just do it as a passionate, side hobby. Don’t put all your eggs in the music basket because when it doesn’t work out, you’ll be resentful and poor. There’s also an age limit for the music industry. 30-50 year olds aren’t marketable.
is about being creative
That analysis paralysis is the reason that I held myself back for years.
You are speaking the facts. School itself is a business. I have friend spend thousands of dollars going to school and graduated but end up opening her own restaurant.
Speaking with wisdom beyond your years❤❤❤
Ok but this hit so hard on me, thanks for this video
I went to a trades school to become a plumber, but no one wanted hire me so I had to work for trugreen to earn money. Even trade schools can fail you.
This is Lifefuel. i could care less about Being lonely or a virign or not having a girlfriend. Money is the Priority, This video is good motivation. i wouldn't mind to get a job at Nvidia or Netflix.
I studied for 3 years at college and received 3 certificates calling me a "qualified structural draughtsman". I might as well wipe my ass with those certificates, because all the dumb students got the same thing I got, and I actually graduated as the top student. The work place on the other hand is a different beast. I realized how underqualified I was, and that there is always another older guy with more experience who is willing to throw his life away to work 12 hours per day behind a screen. I quit that field altogether because I am not willing to wageslave so hard for subpar pay and a terrible work environment.
I am now teaching myself how to make money from home by doing online jobs, UA-cam and forex trading. Forex looks incredibly promising, but there is so much bs you have to work through, because the industry itself in the education department is a minefield, and your emotions literally cost you money if you're not trading with discipline and proper risk management.
How did you learn about Forex trading?
I looked into Forex trading in 2018. It was all scams, pyramid schemes and scumbags selling courses 😢
i would llook into futures trading with funded accounts
@@DagnirRen Trading is not a scam. People are a scam... mostly. You have to teach yourself for free. It's gonna take long and painful work, and you're gonna have to go against your own human nature in trading. Humans are not biologically designed to trade the markets by default. If you are not willing to go through that hard learning phase and refining your trading through years of experience, then you can't make consistent and safe gains out of the markets.
Let me help you a little:
Learn about technical analysis, fundamental analysis, market correlation, risk management, trade management and strategy (strategy doesn't make you a good trader) There are hedge fund managers who make money with even a 20% win rate strategy, because they're just THAT good at managing risk.
Cut your losses short immediately when your analysis is invalidated. Don't let your losses grow, ever!
Let your winners run, and perhaps even add to them.
Don't fall for this bs that there's some "magical strategy" out there. There isn't. A strategy is simply a set of discretionary or mechanical rules to enter yourself in the market, but from there, your risk management will determine whether your account goes up or down.
Oh, and avoid trading charts lower than 1H. You can use them for entries, but the low time frames are just noise, and the spreads will kill your account if you're trading on such a low time frame. Stick to 1H, 4H and Daily.
@@alexicanyeet9734 I prefer CFDs. My country allows CFDs, and my broker is regulated. Futures requires a very large amount of money to even start out with, and the barrier to entry is a bit ridiculous for someone only wants to get their foot into the door with trading.
Dude you sound like Eminem
I agreed college doesn't teach you about real life jobs. Depending on how you see it, it's somewhat a waste of time. I discuss this with my buddy...I say the degree help if you're extrovert person or a social person because most jobs required you to be a bit talkative and expressive but if you have a degree as an extrovert...it only helps enhance your status. But if you're introvert, the degree doesn't help much since you don't talk that much...so it is important to start getting job experience early and then you can move up quickly based on experience alone and not having to compete later on with extrovert person that are more expressive and convincing at job interviews.
Colleges don't teach you about job skills. It is more like a place to help you growth as person in your thought process, advancing your critical thinking skills, your social skills, ect.. so that you become mature when you enter the job environment. Can one acquire these skills by not going to schools? Absolutely. So, the idea that one has to go to schools to get good jobs can be a hit and miss. The graduates will feel relieve and sense of accomplishment for getting a degree, only to realize they couldn't find a job because they don't hire people for just degrees alone, but on experience. That's the sad true stories for many out there.
degrees *are* like cars now, they're a prerequisite
Oh no degree are much worst than cars because at least you can file bankruptcy with car loans but not student loans!
than u end up doing something else, and pay back loans
These are the videos we need on the internet. 😩❤️
The trades will be killing it... get into trades and then learn how to manage people and have your own business by 30... trades is the new college
Trade school was college to begin with, its a school you go to post high school graduation
Shit! I don't even have a high school diploma Brah i have a 8th grade education i work as a armed security guard and get side cash gig's but you know what i do alright.

You should give this speech at TED Talk! It was awesome!👏👏❤️
I totally agree 👍
College is a waste of time. Stem may be worth it but its nepotism and high school popularity contest all over again.
The problem is not having a mission path. Some might not need college but some do because it aligns with their mission path. The more conviction and clarity in your contribution and objectives the less bloat you need for employment. The ultimate mission plan is self sufficiency. And tell your cousins they downbad for what they did to affirmative action and that it wasnt even what they thought 😭
thank you bro you just helped me everything you said was right
Thanks for the advice I really don't hear it from many people around me
I went thru 3 trades. A tool and die machinist. Master plumber.
Some community colleges are less expensive and you can look for internships. Have you heard of Ameriporps?
Also everyone glorifies AI without thinking about the fact that it's going to take even more jobs away from the people. The rich don't care whether you have or don't have, it's all about them and they'll sell you down the river no problem at all, while expecting you to still pay them back.
I realized this back in 2008. I knew this was gonna happen to the next generation after me. I’m too smart lol.
Well said
At 3:17 "you could get fired out of nowhere" - And that's why you Americans need to update your labour laws. Here in glorious EU (and most of the developed world) you have to be given a 30 day notice period. You know, it's a basic thing in employment like 28 days of paid annual leave or paid sick days. It's beyond me why would Americans work without these basic laws.
who would win the war USA vs Europe? who wins?
According to Legion Magazine, American factories produced more tanks, ships, airplanes, and shells than Britain and the USSR combined. This allowed the Americans to defeat Japan.
The United States has a large amount of natural resources, while European countries often have to pay for these from overseas. The U.S. also has a large fleet of nuclear-capable ballistic missile submarines, which could allow the U.S. to launch stealth attacks on enemy naval vessels.
However, the cost of living in the United States is significantly higher than across Europe on average. Basic expenses for a single adult with no children in the U.S. is $2,508, compared to an average $1,746 per month in Europe.
Why would we work like that you ask? Easy. We have No choice. Survival In the big capitalist country.

Yes you need to find your own way that is in line with you as a person. That must override what the system tells you to do. Because things are always changing. Find your own way. Trial and error where you dont know what it is yet.
Thank you so much.
Having a job is more important than having money ( especially in asia) if you ask parents would you want your son to be a docotor or millionaire. Theyll pick doctor.😂
Ah yes, the asian continent where there are only two jobs: being a doctor or a rich guy 😂
You need the millionaire and billionaire because they create jobs for poor people and without them society would be unstable because there no jobs for people to work.
Might be why healthcare has gone down the drain too!

Air conditioning/HVAC , electricians and plumbers, Carpenters , welders and auto mechanics are all in high demand. Look at the trades . Once you work for a while you can get a license and open your own business. And make it and do really really well financially.
In the early 1980's my parents rented a three bedroom house, with a basement and garage for only $800 a month! Today, a one or two bedroom apartment could be thousands of dollars a month.

I tried to chase the paper doing electrical engineering and realized I hate it. Now I’m finish my IT degree and doing game development on the side.
Being a Lawyer doesn’t guarantee money(from what I’ve heard and watching better call saul).
If you can afford college or it’s being paid for you, do it.
Don’t go into debt though, there are many online colleges you can finesse by testing out classes and finishing only the required core courses.
It’s what I’m doing.
its either music production or starting a business.btw a sound engineering degree is pretty much useless lol especially if hes doing it for the music industry and not say,movies and shit.music is so oversaturated bro like less than 1% of producers even make any money to live off from it according to what people are saying,so idk if its even worth my time and not sure what else id even have potential in tbh. just turned 22 so idk if music is even worth it rn,i need bread asap.also im in the uk @@DagnirRen

@@shean991 Let me give you some advice kid, you can start your own business with the education you get from college.
If you have a engineering degree, you can design products and sell it. If you can write books, you can write books and sell it. If you are knowledgeable about a subject, you can write a book about that and have a publisher publish it. If you become a medical doctor, you can open your open medical practice. If you become an accountant, and get your CPA license, you can open your own practice. If you become a lawyer, you can open your law practice. If you become a software engineer, you can make your own software and sell it.
You a lot more opportunities if you have something in your head than having a empty head.
And gas fitter. Started my own business 25 years ago plumbing and hvac.never looked back. Always have work. Make a shit ton of money.
Unfortunately though without a degree most jobs won’t look at your resume. Doesn’t matter if it’s in the field or not, many people work in completely different areas.
thank you

I will keep clapping for others until it's my turn🎉🎉
That is a good outlook on life, one thing that is killing society and humanity is people not having the ability to see other people be successful and happy, having the ability to be happy for others breads love amongst people, if everyone thought like that there would be a lot more people who would feel inclined to help people who struggle in life or are less fortunate.
Bro degrees are a trap.
You need it to check the box, but it’s enough, even in tech.
It's fine if your parents pay for it but if you have to take out student loan, it really sets you back financially once you're out of college.
It's those at the top that want to make life more complicated and widen the gap between the haves and have nots.
The colleges need students to pay their salaries.
You don't need a degree. You can go into trade, electrician, construction super., etc...
it doesn't help that most advisors also don't give a f about you or give you helpful info lmfaooo
Some college is needed. Learning from real Professors is a special experience. Self Enrichment courses. Pay for what You want to learn. Degrees? Only with Job Placement. My college didnt land me any jobs. I learned alot of cool stuff. Now Im self taught. Just dont go into Student Loan debt.
