It's not the responsibility of the "college" to get you a job....it's your responsibility. Countless other benefits of attending university. Best time of your life spending 4 years with your peers.
🤷🏻♂️ you sound like a rich kid who doesn’t have to worry about his family or help with bills….
Everyone I know with a professional degrees have careers, not jobs, and have paid off homes before they near 50, take more than one vacation a year (and they don't slum it on vaca), own very nice cars, kids in private school, have house cleaners, yard keepers... And they never bicker (and they dont have to act fake in public because they might be fighting all the time at home).
Only my dad, who never went to college, (I'm a graduate) who just paid off his 3 bed 1 bath home finally in his 70s, bashes college grads. Pure jealousy?
On the other hand, if you send your child to uni to obtain an art degree, or a psychology degree (which is a totally saturated market), or a human sociology degree (where you can get a job in that field without a degree) all you have an unemployed kid with a useless degree.
The degree you choose is of utmost importance because most degrees are flooded - everyone has one. Be competitive.
School didn't work for me and I dropped out after 1,5 years of IT study. Now im a freelance 2D animator and traveling the world while doing that. So yeah, couldn't agree more you really don't need to follow the 'regular' path. People in the real world don't care what college degrees or diplomas you have, they care about the quality of product you deliver.
The college prices and debts are ridiculous in the US, I can't imagine why a young person would want such a burden.
Ad masquerading as a vlog
college isnt only a piece of paper, its connections, skills, open-midness and education, which are never a scam.
Name the % of people living their dream lives that tell you the things they learned in college allowed them to do that 😂…..
Spot-on 👍
Glad you think so!
Yes! This is a great topic to cover. Good on ya mate more shrimp on the barbey!
University should be subsidized by the government. It’s never a bad idea to learn. I just think that going into massive debt over it is indeed a scam and a terrible thing to start your adult life with. There is of course societal pressure in many countries and communities to go to university straight out of high school and that needs to stop. We need more blue collar and skilled workers.
I couldn’t agree more!!👏🏾👏🏾 Being a U.S. Citizen myself, just thinking or talking about college gets me going because of what I call the “American Stigma” where they just want you to stay in the traditional kind of lifestyle where you graduate H.S., then immediately go to college because you feel you have to or friends/family/relatives make you feel like you won’t be successful if you don’t go (I was in this position myself), get a “good paying job” in a flipping cubicle or an office (and get about 10 minutes of PTO every year🤦🏽♂️), get married, have kids, retire, die. I can go on and on but I won’t😂. It’s absolutely absurd how much folks go into debt over a sorority or a degree they can learn online like you said Lloyd. Hopefully the new stigma is starting to learn online or learn via UA-cam #UA-camUniversity🤟🏾. Very well put together video Lloyd and glad that more people are talking about this. As always hope you 4 are doing well😃💛
Cheers mate, I think the stigma exists a lot more in the US than it does in Canada or Australia for sure. Hope you’re well mate
My university gave me so much knowledge, but mostly connections. One of my university friends got her first job after the first year but continued her studies, I joined her after the second year but continued my studies. We are both successful thanks to the uni, and that first job. We don't practice the degree we received, but we definitely practice some knowledge and skills.
However, if I paid for my uni, I would probably have more negative things to say about it. Mine was completely free for 5 years, they even paid me a bit so I could buy books and some food😀
Australia has been producing the most highly educated unemployable young people for years! By the time my friends finished Uni I had earned 500k They came out with 80k student dept!
Wow, sounds pretty scammy to me. Good for you though
The 4 years at uni or 4 years working in the mining, oil or gas industry in Australia and you can earn 500k especially if you work as much as they will allow you
The mining industry in Tassie was the key that achieved this for many mates@@alpaca6920 👍
Good Evening Lloyd and Mandy every you said is true Universities charges lots of money with no guarantee of a job, at the end many Fashion Designers and others are serving coffee for a living time for dinner Hugs to Both and Bear Evie from Melbourne xoxo
Hi, Lloyd really enjoyed your video. You explain everything really easily and well.
I feel a bit lost with what to do with my life. I traveled a lot over 30years Is living in New Zealand has become expensive I'm not the greatest tech guy😏 in the world I'm currently. Unemployed, I am in my 50s now, but fit and healthy. Would love to find a way to get into some sort of income online?. As I would wish to live Somewhere like Thailand or Vietnam. Appreciate any advice. Which online things I could do?. I guess A bit cautious and scared to probably step out of my comfort zone, we all have to Anyway, appreciate You and Mandy have an awesome.
UA-cam channel, and I wish you all the best..
When I went to the university in the late 1960's tuition was only about $300.00 p/semester plus the cost of books. So it was a huge bargain. My degree in agriculture economics allowed me to gain entry in the Peace Corps and work in the Amazon of Brazil. My life was changed forever and it was because of my university degree. Which lead to a life in the the travel business!
The poster won't acknowledge you because he has confirmation bias addiction.
@@phalangeish He certainly has a limited view for the value of a formal education. Like you say I guess he is just rationalizing his ignorant view.
@@kestrelbicycle he's also getting paid. this is a promo ad, basically. follow the link so he gets paid!
I totally agree with you! I got a couple of degrees, one in secondary education. I became a teacher and made such little money that I needed to have 3 jobs throughout 12 months. I decided to quit my teachers job and extend my firefighting job season. I was lucky because I only owed $15,000 when I graduated. I was lucky that I received grants while attending. I taught school 3 years and moved on. Throughout my high school education, adults were pushing me to attend college. After is all said and done, I feel it was a waste of time and money to me. I would advise students to look at alternative ways to make a living. There are plenty of ways to make way more than your parents.
Wow, happy to broke free from it without too much debt, sounds like you ended up making the right choice
Don't pick a degree that is saturated, then you wouldn't be offered (close to) minimum wage!!!
Thanks for sharing valuable lesson/ informaiton! I was wondering if I could help you with Highly Engaging Thumbnail which will surely increase your CTR which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ! Please Lmk what do you think ?
To be honest with you Lloyd, the majority of what was crammed down my gullet in private schools and college I never TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY needed to know.
Soooo, although I think this presentation of yours is a tad dramatic, especially for stoic you, it still resoundingly resonated with me.
Thank you
@@LloydandMandy My pleasure!
Thank YOU for your acknowledgement, Guys.
Mandy, how's the bun (in your oven) cooking?
Update: I was so impressed with this video that I checked out the website and enrolled in the course for digital advertising. I made sure to use your hyperlink so hopefully you get a decent kickback. Cheers to you both!
ฉันสงสัยชาวyoutuberหลายคนที่ทำcontentท่องเที่ยวในหลายประเทศ พวกเขามีเด็กๆติดตามไปด้วย มีอายุตั้งแต่2ขวบขึ้นไป บางคนมีลูกๆไปด้วย2-4คน ฉันประหลาดใจมากว่าเด็กๆเหล่านั้น ไม่ต้องไปโรงเรียน(go to school)หรืออย่างไร พ่อแม่ก็ดูเหมือนว่าจะไม่มีเวลามาสอน
The title is clickbaity and I disagree, but I get what youre saying and agree with the message.
I'm the only person in my entire section who did not go to uni and I'm top in my field.
As a Software Engineer I got angry at the title but clicked on it just to give you time to explain 😂
I agree that people that choose university careers such as marketing, arts, and other careers that are way too common and dont have a lot of job offerings are not doing themselves a favor and will be frustrated in the future.
Thanks, yes, its a scam.
Lol no worries
Bloody good video mate but unfortunately most people are brain washed and they dont realise until they are deep in debt with no job....That college fee should be a guarantee you will have a job with the correct wages for the degree you have... No job no college fee is the way it should be
Totally
This is coming from a guy living in a van and calling that a dream??
Went into college (USA) right after high school. While in high school I was working for a tech company and was a tier 3 IT technician. When I went into college for networking security, IT and programming, I knew more than the professors. I wasn't learning anything new. I dropped out in the first semester when I proved a professor was wrong with how to handle an IT fix and got kicked out of the class for it. I put my computer, math and programming skills to the test and studied stocks and day trading for a year. I'm now successful enough to have paid off that dumb semester of college ($8k if anyone was wondering, for a SINGLE semester), paid off all my debt and have enough money in dividend stocks to live comfortably with my wife. College is a HUGE scam and I will not recommend it to my kids. You can learn everything you need to be successful and have a fulfilling life for free (or really cheap) online.
Wow that’s crazy
The responsibility of the college is to give you an education not give you a job. Whether your skills are marketable for money is a personal responsibility.
I had to share your vlog because I couldn’t agree with you more!
You're the best!
Nothing like confirmation bias to convince yourself you didn't make the biggest mistake of your life.
Hey Lloyd, I have enjoyed watching your last two posts. However, you have not mentioned a word about Mandy. Being a father of two, the first child was very exciting with all the unknown. I hope she is doing well. Let me know, thank you.
After a recent flooding disaster, I wish I was a plumber. Could have had my own business charging weekend rates to desperate home owners 😊
Wouldn’t need to go to college
I am lucky that I live in Sweden where all education is free
Great video! I love how you two are low key based. Having people realize that college is a scam benefits society greatly. Less debt, less college elitist mentality, less indoctrination in leftist BS. It’s a win-win 🏆
🎶 When I think back to all the crap I learned in high school 🎶
Hahaha
Disappointing video. You don't hear of the many who dropped out of college and are mixed in debt. These people don't make the headlines. Drop out successes are few and far between.
Don’t go to college for a garbage degree. Simple.
You are both ‘autodidacts’. And ‘entrepreneurs’. And having a baby!! 😘
Sorry, but time to unsubscribe.
Education is never a scam!
What About WOKE!😂
Guys appreciate Mand is with child but scraping the barrel with the vids now. Says it all by thumbnails. You have given us some great content con3 on guys 👍🤓
Do you believe college is a scam?
