Honestly, I dropped out of college because it isn't for me. I do not like classroom learning, I hate assignments, lectures and all that nonsense. It simply bores me to death and I quickly ran out of motivation, and just started procrastinating (and failing). I didn't want a trade job either. I started an online business, and learned as I went through self study and application of what I had studied. Both high school and college were places of torture to me. I was more worried about grades than actually learning anything. It was just an endless cycle of cram and forget, in the end I hardly learned almost nothing.
So how's that online business holding up?
Hits too close to home
I feel the same way about school.
I Feel you Rn im Planning to Drop out of College Cause the System dosent Work Out For a Young Entrepreneual Mindset Person Like me..
@@everydayfun9531 i got out of college. I have no regrets now i live in peace. For real.
I didn't go until much later on. While I wasn't in college, I worked. Keep yourself busy and then you'll find what you want to do.
Yeah I don't get why they push college immediately after high school. Some kids if they do go should only get prerequisites out of the way and then work for a while before they decide to go back for a major.
@Mosses You can still go. Take a writing class and start adding more classes once you are able to handle the course load.
That 'huh' after Dave said read 25 books by experts around the 2:00 mark lets me know that it hit home and this guy is gonna win.
It's crazy to think at 18 we should know what we want to do with our lives. At first I wanted to be a mechanic then a business owner now an RN. I've almost got my ABA and will be getting my BBA then turning around and getting a ADN later a BSN the only good thing is the ADN and BSN will be faster because of all the prerequisites I'll have completed. But now I've taken extra college classes because I was wrong about what I wanted because of expectations. The good news is I go to a lot cheaper college and financial aid covers the low fees. So I'm still currently debt free.
What is a rn?

It's just so sad honestly
I'm 23. I learned online that the human brain doesn't fully develop until age 25 or 26. So I don't think we young adults should be pushed at 18, nor vote or gamble at 18 and 21. Because we are still young and dumb and make bad decisions.
I'm 41 and still have no idea. I exist that works for me. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut, archeologist, or coo. In my 20s I settled on customer service and possibly a lab tech. I'm now a housewife with a fantastical imagination I pump onto my kids when we play. Find your niche
My sister is currently 19 years old. Her teachers/family members kept pressuring the idea that she must graduate from a four year college or she'd be stuck at minimum wage jobs her whole life. Now my parents aren't too happy about footing the bill for her to get a general music degree.
I wonder how Dave Ramsey feels about those people who say "It doesn't matter what you go to college for. Just the fact that you have a degree makes employers take you more seriously! It could lead into other things." Like what?
I’m a high school senior as of now, and I’m worried what’ll happen if I tell my mom that I don’t want to go to college. I keep thinking she’s going to kick me out of the house, because I’ll be 18 by then. I still don’t believe college is for me.
i’m in the exact same situation. but my mom wouldn’t kick me out tho
Same
@Chaninzard674 What happened?
@@dovahking6514 I ended up taking classes against my will. Mainly because my mom said if I don’t, she’ll take away all my video games. She always plays the blackmail card. As of now, I have three weeks left this semester. And I don’t think I can handle any more stress in spring classes.
@@chaninzard674 are you still in high school? Get through it and ask if you can take a 1 year break before applying for college. I'm in uni/college and I just wanna drop out but my sibling already did that and now I'd feel horrible if I f*** up, so yea just take a break and find what you like or prove to them that you found something that works better for u than college would
Yea college wasn't for me either. I dropped out twice. But I agree with Dave saying you can read the top books by the top guys in an industry and be an expert. I've read almost every classic marketing/copywriting book available on Amazon. And took the best courses. I rewrite million dollar ads every day to sharpen my craft. I'm building clients, earning 5% on every dollar one of my ads pulls for them.
@Lizbeth Curiel leaving this here to go back to incase there is a response
Dropped out too owe the school 5 k🫠
Where can you find these courses
Left-handed puppetry. 😂😂
Amy Medlyn
That was pretty good.
Amy Medlyn thats stupid squared.
Well there went my college dreams. Thanks, Dave! 😂
UCONN actually offers puppetry as a major. Really, look it up
Amy Medlyn~Jokes on Dave since my puppetry is right handed. Lmao😂🤣🤣😂😆😂😂/s
He’s right about reading , but there are multiple ways to get knowledge without reading. Like UA-cam, podcasts, audiobooks, networking. Etc.
Check out Praxis (an apprenticeship program). Hands-on experience sometimes under a CEO of a big company. If you’re good enough, they may hire you over a college graduate.
Union apprenticeship. Paid for books my first year and that was it.
Thanks for all ur advice man
Electrictrian is a good one but I've heard its very difficult and I'm a bit discouraged myself.
Idk what to do anymore.
Hey bro, so what did you end up doing?
@@fabrisio_2129 I went to trade school and then got a job as an apprentice afterward. I'm working on getting my journeyman's card rn.
A college degree can cost you as much as $12 per hour if you know how to calculate it. Don't do what everyone else is doing because everyone is broke!
I got married young and my husband supports me while my plan is to get a part time job and pay for my education since I don’t have to worry about expenses.
😂😂😂😂he's already on baby step 3.he's doing better that half of ramseys followers👏👏👏👏 dont get married homie and keep making that loot.
SKYNET
When not married it's an accelerated course it seems.
Marriage at 18? 50% of marriages end in divorce, so a 50% chance to loose half of your loot. Even worse if you force yourself to stay in that marriage because of the shared income, or accidentally or stupidly decide to have kids you can't afford, and fear of losing some of your assets. He needs to focus on leveling up his income before deciding to take care of other people
skynet... huh? what loot? He makes 1k more than the poverty line. He wants help, but zero debt mean success to you people, so you congratulate him. Crazy
Chris Dexter who wants to go to college to make 100k a year that’s going Straight to student loans for the rest of ur life? Being debt free regardless of how much u make sure seems successful to me if it doesn’t to u I’d like to know what u consider success
He could get married but maybe wait a few years before jumping into it, and find one of us good girls. Hopefully by then he will be making more and have more choices in his life than he does now.
If you don’t go to college get in to a trade electrical plumbing automotive eta. Preferably one that involves you getting a license like apprentice journeyman Masters. They pay more when you have a license in them
That 25 books advice is very helpful.
Military might not be a bad option. Only 4 years, you can do school on the side and when ur done u got all these benefits and hopefully more direction, also ur a veteran.
And dead*
@@MarcusCollins69 not every role in the military is active duty, there’s plenty of office/admin jobs too.
@@gangatalishis the military is still going to own you for 30+ years
Luckily I'm Canadian so I don't need to sign up for a SS for benefits
Universities have 2 sales pitches to hook students.
One is to sell them on the more marketable majors like: STEM or business.
then, for the students who do. not want to. major in a maketable major, there is still the idea that its the professional networks and. connections you make that really get you a job. Problem is, there is tens of thousands of students graduating with marketable degrees from prestigous universities, and some of them are having a hard time finding a job. So, if you have a liberal arts degree from a mid tier state. college, you are competing with them and still have student loans to deal with.
I would HIGHLY recommend road construction and safety.
Get an occupational health & safety degree/cert. I believe those are at tech schools.
Every company needs/requires a safety guy/gal.
A guy I know, 6 figure income!
what does he do??!
With the internet anything is possible if you are creative and have a lot of time. Don't fall for debt slavery.
Trade school
Good choice so many to choose from always in demand.
Or community colleges that offer trade classes that lead to apprenticeships.
My buddy went to a trade school to only be paid $13 an hour right now to a job he could’ve gotten without going to his trade school. He’s paying back student loans right now
Conservative: lol
Not sure if srs. Cost of living really is only attributable to housing/land costs. So even in the poorest counties $13/hour sucks. You will never be able to buy a decent car, have good health insurance, take any vacations, or god forbid have any kids on that pay. That is high school and unskilled labor pay.
What’s the common denominator that ALL millionaires say? Reading books!
Nope -- in another video Dave said there is a "statistical correlation between integrity and success", so don't worry about reading or smart/innovative business decisions or working hard, etc.
if there's one book you choose to read in life: rich dad poor dad
"huh"
Ryan Lewis that hit home. That guy is gonna be successful
Take on a union trade job for 10-15 years then get your license and open your own business
d h if only it was that easy lol.
I agree on trying to work in a trade though I’m an electrician it pays. Kinda surprised Dave didn’t bring up if he would be interested in a trade job
The young man needs some mentoring and one of the best ways to do that is to read. If he learned anything from this call, he need to read like his life depends on it, because it does.
The most powerful day in Mikes life will be when he realizes he is in charge of all aspects of his life and how it turns out, not his parents, not his friends, not Dave. If Mike is looking for structure and discipline in his life he should consider a four year tour in the U.S. Navy. That's what set me on my path right out of High School. Used my G.I. Bill to go to college and I'm making a six figure income in an exciting career in the Information Security field.
Real estate. If you're gonna go into debt may as well get assets to show for it
Drive a big rig. We make over 200,000.00 a year as own operators
What books do your recommend i should read? Do you have a video of 25 books to read?
State Apprenticeships are a great option.
Me: I have 5 $ saved up, income is only 10 $
Dave: better dan u deserve sir
In what says that man would not want to be a truck driver get paid to see the country
Clarence Swope you still have to go to truck driving school lol. If you want to do anything in this world and make over 30k a year, you need a college education. It doesn't matter if it's a trade school, Associate's or bachelor's.
There is trucking companies that will pay you to go to their school and that is Swift or Knight and there's a few others but if you put your world mind to it you can definitely make a good living driving a truck I've got a friend right now he makes a dollar twenty a mile loaded or empty Coast to Coast and he has already put so far this year see his put almost 200,000 miles on his truck and that is since November 23rd till now he is constantly moving and that is on the elog
Whether they provide it or you go somewhere else, the point is you HAVE to go to college.
You don’t HAVE. To go to college. Save your money limit yourself enjoy simplicity and minimalism and like Dave always says LIVE BELOW YOUR MEANS!
KJ, the kid's means are $13k a year in Vegas, *hopefully* after taxes... Living below his means is called povertt. The poverty line is $12k in Nevada. There is no money to be saved by abstaining from college...
Is 36 too old to change careers. And should i choose traditional college for it?
I'm 23 in my last year of college engineering diploma. On my way to working as a Engineering Tech for $33/hr.
How are you doing now?
@@randomfellow1483wyd rn
Son, the military is hiring and if you are smart opportunities are for the asking. I quit High School and enlisted. You do NOT need a college degree to get an education and become successful. There is no degree on my wall, my education is informal and I am a retired millionaire and money is coming in faster than it is going out.
Dave never mentions the military.
It's an option if you are fit and healthy but remember, the military controls your life until you are out.
Gabster
Just like marriage.
Two years Air Force and ANG paid for most of my school and I enjoyed the space A.
Only around $8k out of pocket for me.
You spelled pawns wrong
BlackWorldTraveler I spent 26 years in the Army, both active duty and the USAR. I'm retired now.
Risking your life for a country that doesn't care about you? No thanks.
Industrial radiography!! $500 cert. Gone from $15-$35.50/hr in 5 years.
How do you get started ?
Date an older rich lady. Be q gold digger my dude ...
Grosss no amount of money would make me fck a grandma sorry not sorry
@@chefmike7802 Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
Community College offers pre-apprentice trade programs that can lead to apprenticeships.
This is my exact situation
So how is it going now?
@@joshuacorbin221 I decided to go to college haha
@@xcp4518lmaooo
I was thrown out of technology university more than two years ago, and now I live in poverty. Life is fun.
How are you doing now?
@@aaroncalapre5980 Same. What would you expect if everything depends on how society perceives you. As George Carlin said, it's a big club, (but you ain't a friend/cousin), so you ain't in it. Cheers
If you don't go to college today you're better off. You won't have massive debt for 30 years or more for useless liberal degrees. Better a trade school that will make you about 100k per year with a very small loan payback.
Learn a useful skill if college is not yr choice
I dropped out today 😂
Why ?
Vocational/trade school
Can a guy in his 50s go to trade school and still get a related job if he planned on working 16 more years?
yes!
Coding bootcamp or trade school
$1100 a month is what im currently making now, luckily my work is only part time and i still get benefits but im in the same boat as him,
Military if I could I go back that’s what I would do my degree hasn’t helped me and I wasted nearly five years
HenryMcComments ! I agree I’m 19 bout to go in
can i still go to college ?im 25 yrs old .
Do you think 25 is old?
Ben MaxStamina yes
thank you everyone!
Yes, there is no age limit for college. Just make sure u know what u want to do.
Yes, but be smart at what you choose and where you go. Stick to the accredited state colleges. Schools advertising on daytime TV are potential cons.
Also, while a degree is required for advancement at many places it is not a guarantee to success. So be deliberate in your choice and develop a game plan.
2:04
😔
You don't accidentally become successful,what then?
Caller: Dave, I have a 550k student loan debt, 27k in credit card debt, 7k in personal loans for each of my 4 brothers, owe the IRS 45k and recently bought a golden toaster on credit for 20k. Please help its been 4 years no progress.
Dave: Sell the car.
Start a small business
Yayy Areaa
Better to consider a business when you have some type of backup skill to make income.
Just saying to start a business really means nothing if you have no other income.
He could go be a flight attendant to see the world..
