Today I'm going to share with you why I dropped out of college. To be honest, I think college is a scam. It's something that society tells you, that you need - but in reality...you simply don't. Dropping out of college is one of the smartest things I ever did in my life and I hope this video will give you some insight as to why i left school, and answer the one big question on your mind, "Should I go to college?"

Thats how i feel right now .... gosh i feel like im dying slowly ..
You think that's bad? Just wait for the lower-middle class income daily grind.
Kaiju I see your belief system is garbage, you think College will get you anywhere in life? Think again, change your subconscious mind and unlock the door.

Getting a college degree doesn’t always make you smart. There a lot of people with degrees who are idiots.

I remember when I went to college. I was miserable didn't want to learn, had bad grades,even when I tried, I still failed. Then, one day, my English teacher came up to me one day and said, "You don't have to be here." I took that quote to heart and started looking for a full time job. Now, I'm making a bit over 50k and am truly happy.

@@DW-mn6zt I didn't go to school for it. I was taught while training there.
Knox Glad you were able to find something you were happy with. Wish I could do the same, but unfortunately, I was forced into college by my parents even after professing how much I did not want to go.
It's worth it if you want a career that it's required. Doctors, attorneys, therapists, etc. Definitely not worth it for a liberal arts degree.
The issue is I cannot get a jobs I'd like in entertainment without a degree. So imma study theatre instead of something I dislike. But I have the end goal in mind.

@@naomii494 if you mean you plan on starting college, I endorse your endeavors. Of course it should be a informed decision, but I encourage you to consider this path.
A lot of people here make it out to be horrible, but that's their experience. Yours may be very different (I mean for the better).
I haven't finished, but I can already tell the social and psychological benefits I get from it were/are worthwhile. I'm in administration, accounting. I find my classes fascinating (though the word is strong, I mean I am interested in what I learn).
That's my input of optimism out there.
I very recently made the decision to drop out of college but was still feeling bad and insecure about it. then i find this video in my recommended and now I feel completely at ease. well played, yt algorithm.

College is draining my energy... Was also smart in school so am expected to go through college but I just do not belong. I feel that I belong in a different path
THIS!
same i just quit school today.
I feel the same, although I'd love to learn new things, I just find it so hard to cope with the anxiety. I am used to beating myself up for 'not working hard enough' and I feel like a lazy person, because I've also always done well at school, but the truth is, I am just tired of the constant stress, anxiety and hatred toward myself for not enough motivation to study. It just paralyzes me and I dont want to experience such feelings anymore.
@@AnelaineOriginal I know the feeling
Hi Carleen. I know exactly how you feel. I want to drop out, but I know my parents will be angry. College makes me depressed. I’m a business major and I want to own my own business. I don’t see the point of a degree.
Don't choose right path...
Just choose the path and make it right.

Didn't go to college. Retired at 52. Your spending, saving and investment habits are the most important things.
But back when you entered the work force, it was likely a lot easier to get away without having a degree. During those days, you could still get a decent job but a degree opened the door to high paying ones. You could go to basically any job and your way up throughout the years.
@@calmaschamomile1252 no. My career field generally required a degree. Many people were surprised I didn’t have one. There are lots of people in my career field that don’t take advantage of our thrift savings plan, bought huge houses in areas they can’t really afford, took out second mortgages, had awesome vacations they could not afford every year, buy new cars every few years or lease cars they can’t afford. They could be situated like I am but are not.
Life was different back then lol
in 50 years it will be different for us younger generation. It's nice to know that habits are important, but finding a job would be difficult with just skills. I think getting opportunity in some way would be great, but i don't know. I need some old man wisdom in my life
@@calista910 step number one is don’t listen to these fools. Ask any one of them to show you their budget. Ask them to show you how much they have taking out of their checks for investment every month before they get it. Ask them how many Amazon packages they got this month. Minimalism, investing, planning, sacrifice, some luck. You are going to do great! Go get it.
I just dropped out because it was a waste of my time and extremely draining. I am now following my dreams instead 😊

Yeah I feel you kinda forgot to mention that this only aplies to the US. If your country has free tertiary education and you have no clue what to do in life, college/university is the only thing that makes sense.
Yet again shows you are familiar only with the US system. My country uses 3+2 years (minor+major degree). Also a lot of students here have a job (parttime mostly) and still manage to go to university anyway so you can achieve both the work experience as you say AND uni education on top. And if the state pays for, then why wouldn't you at least try?
@@ImprovementPill
Is this even applicable in the Philippines??
@@ImprovementPill in my course we have obligatory work practice for the whole 4th semester, so it's definitely helping out regarding work possibilities and experience. That's why it was painful to watch this video, I'm afraid that too many teens will use this as an excuse without checking the data about their country, as well as looking into the quality of different universities, work possibilities. Sometimes learning abroad is also an option. I know many companies that will not take a person without at least a bachelor degree.
Tbh, this also feels a lot like a "hey, I did the math, you should drop out of college and buy my courses"
@potatosmasher r u italian?
This is only apply in the US but me I live in the Philippines there
But the thought of dropping out of college is scary. There is so much pressure.

I'm in my 3rd year of college about to drop out. College is draining my soul. I felt it from the very beginning but didn't want to accept it, because all I was ever told was that going to university is the right way in life. Well, turns out, not for me. Wish me luck in this new chapter of my life.
i am in my first year, already thinking the same, should i just drop out ...
@@angely_tio here's what I think - go on a bit longer, and see if there are parts of your studies that you like. Shift the focus of your studies to a self-study: try to figure out _why_ you feel drained. Is it because the subject didn't turn out to be the right one, because you don't like the methods, because you don't have enough friends, because you feel like there's no one to talk to about your struggles, because you don't want to study at all but we're forced by your parents, etc...? Then try your best to find solutions. For many people on their first year it is just that it's such a big change in their lives that everything feels like it's too much. But many people then go through a process of finding themselves and emerge as transformed people, who can handle university and may even strive in it.
Then, on the other hand, if you feel it deeply in your heart that university isn't for you and you only went because of external pressure, you may want to talk with those who pressured you. Try to find solutions.
THERE IS A PATH THAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY! Always remember this and don't settle for anything less. But it might be really hard work to find this path, or to muster up the strength to actually walk this path.
I hope this helps, feel free to reach out if you like to share more. 🌟
I wish you the best!
@@OneMeInMyself thank you so much for reaching out! i appreciate it deeply. i dropped out some days after i commented on this XD so far i think it has been very freeing for me. i think what drained me was the university itself. every second i was there, i wasn't at all fulfilled, i was constantly battling inside to say the least. the uni wasn't offering what i want and i wasn't taught anything, so i think why spend another 3 years? the second i am out, i feel like a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders. now i am studying for a test to another university that i should have done a year ago, that supposedly can be better. i know the chance of me getting in isn't guaranteed, and i risk getting one year wasted. but i don't want to be in my last years of college and know inside me this is not the path i want from the very beginning. i am still confused and lost, trying to find my way, but i suppose i need to try first in order to know. it will get better, won't it? HAHA
thanks again, i hope you're doing well in your life! 💛

Guys not going to college is definitely not for everyone. I would recommend starting your own business while going to college. It's just a way safer route.
I would definitely recommend that myself too. Whether you go to college or not really depends on your goals and what you want in life. Don't fall into the pressure of going to college or dropping out. Do what's best for you.
yeah i want to try that to,but i need money to start it,i was thinking about dropshipping
@@introvertedleaders3356 that's the problem. I don't know what to do in my life 😭 right now, I dropped out of College for a month now because I don't feel like going to it anymore and I didn't even tell my parents about it. Now, I don't know what to do and my family pushes me to go continue college. And I think that's what I should do but cause I really don't know what to do anymore in my life.
I've tried Community College. I dropped out a year later, because it wasn't for me and they didn't know how to help people with certain disabilities.
Yes, don't go to college if you know how to survive the rotten world. Find the work area where you're comfortable with. If there aren't any, then idk.

That's a very valid point. Nowadays the only benefit you get from going to college seem to be your credentials, network, and other resources provided by the college. Other that that, whatever you learn in college, you can learn anywhere as long as you have internet.

I'm enrolled because my parents value education a lot. They also chose the degree I'm going for, currently I am 3 years into a degree I never wanted, and am accumulating debt for that degree. Truthfully I hate the idea of immediately going into college after high school. Who knows what they want to do at 18? I feel like I've wasted time, effort, and am financially digging myself a hole. For a job I hate that I didn't even pick for myself. I feel like it's actually taking a toll on my mental health.
Damn I feel you bro I’m almost a year doing online classes but it felt like 10 years. I know that my degree is going to be useless anyway so idk why I’m doing this. It def took a toll on my peace of mind

I actually have to agree on this, as a person who later decided to drop out of college and used my built-up healthy work ethics for my Freelancing job that has nothing to do with whatever college course I took. It worked well beyond my own expectations.

I really needed this. I haven't felt motivated at all ever since I started college, and I really feel like I need at least a year to figure myself out, instead of just continuing down the same path. It's really reassuring to see that others have been in the same spot.

Alternative to college: Learn a skill/trade that may need licensing or certification, learn how to turn that skill/trade into a profitable business, continue to self educate, and at the end of the day you're making the same as an accountant that wasted 4 years in college along with a nice student loan.
And also actually enjoy life instead of having thousands of dollars of student debit for a job you may not even have.
Ты прав, брат
Thats right
(Random chilean here) Dropped college, didn't find a job, i'm trying to study something different... i have a lot of skills, but with no document proving it, i'm officially useless
Have you tried displaying those skills?
Like, maybe post some stuff online through social media. (Depends on the skill you have, ei, baking, translating, editing or design.)
Eventually, (maybe) someone nearby could hook you up with a job. Or job hunting could be easier when you can link them to a display of your achievements.
As I said, depends on the skill you're advertising (and also, your proficiency at it).
A while back, I randomly went around asking business owners for some advice with a friend who wanted to scope out her job prospects.
They sat me down and said the same thing about advertising skills. "What can you do for me" kinda stuff.
Don't take my word for it tho. I'm just a kid who did business studies.

@Phallusy won't they check your records tho? About your education?
I'm sitting here in my sh*t college dorm feeling like i am wasting my time and this confirmed all the things i've been feeling since the first week. I'm pissed but at least only wasted 4 months and not four years. I'm doing my research on alternatives, but this video really helped me.
I’m in the same boat as you. It’s almost summer tho and you don’t have to go back if you don’t want. I’ve been here 4 months as well and I’ve been miserable most of my time here. Just know it’s temporary and you have the rest of your life to live. I’m finishing this semester and going back to my landscaping job and working on my music on the side. Those two things make me happy. Don’t waste your years being miserable and not doing something you don’t wanna do. If you do finish this semester that’s one semester under your belt and that’s better then a lot of people because most drop out or don’t even go to college. Be proud that you did it!
What are you up to now?
Literally just failed a class for the first time and I’m not okay! Feels like the world is crashing down on me!😩 the thing about college is no matter how much effort you put, still fail sometimes. It’s so draining!!!
dont go hard on yourself, I have failed 3 times before and its okay you can still retake it and do better
I can't handle all of this stress and assignments, I truly dont think I am going to make it through college or life in general, I've been wanting cry lately because of the amount of stress i have, I don't know what to do anymore i just simply don't

I've had the idea and told them about dropping out for more than four times throughout college. It would mean the world to me if you told the story of yours.

My mother wants me to go to college, but we're both financially unstable. And student loans absolutely does not appeal to me. (I've got more than a highschool graduate tho. Spending two more years in sixth form)
My mother has plans that are all over the place. (We're from the Caribbean and she wants to move to England, find a job to get a "better life") And I'm not convinced.
I'd rather work my butt off in a familiar place, than to head off somewhere, just to be unprepared and wandering aimlessly.
I think it'd be harder to start from scratch, but she seems adamant on moving. (With me.)
I told her "Maybe later" but she's been bringing it up more often.
I lie to them, and do everything secretly.

I'm a freshman in highschool and my parents told me to study something that actually will get me a job and pay more than a person who passed college (not to be rude or anything). right now I'm studying electrical wiring. Which in cities is a very important job to have since maintenance is always happening. I thank my parents for giving me an idea of what to do with my future and not screw myself up if I go to college. I'm planning to go but I really don't want to go. All my parents want is to just aquire my high school diploma
Word of advice. Do what you love. Trust me working a job or running a business you did not ask for or want makes life miserable.
@@MrFujin not really. It's teaching me a valuable lesson
I’m saying if you don’t like it. Your still a freshman and these type of decisions are quite critical. I worked in construction for a time and hated it. Dread it. I loved fixing cars and cooking. So what did I do? Fix up old broken cars, sell em or fix other people’s cars! I am self employed do what I love and I get paid from my results, not from some guy who decided I was worth paying hourly.
Man I wish my family was like this😭
I’m a senior my parents are pretty much forcing me into college, I don’t even know what to do.
How to deal with family members like uncel, aunty, cousins, and grany that look down on you, say that you are trash and you can't do it?, please answer this, I'm very stressful
Best thing to do would be to isolate yourself from them and surround yourself with those that are likeminded. Being around family members or even friends that’s sends negativity will just drill that into ur head which would make u start to believe that what they’re saying is true and make u quit on your goals which isn’t worth it at all!

Deutschland Über Alles I think you replied to the wrong person lol
@Deutschland Über Alles Well I dropped my 3 classes and I went back to working full time. Im still trying to get into the career I want just through a different method.
I have been in and out of community college for almost 5 years now. Two months ago I finally made it into the vet tech program to chase the career I’ve been dreaming of since I was 3. One month in i was miserable, so disappointed in myself and the program, overwhelmingly suicidal… I’m not even sure I want to do the job anymore. And for that reason, I dropped out. I realized that I deserve to be happy and mentally stable and if that means dropping out, so be it.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
Totally valid. Even as a professor I have to agree you have some solid points here!
And now you are enjoying the youtube life😊 Totally deserved
Went through the course and got the job in digital marketing after a couple of months! Thanks Seth and thanks Improvement Pill!
I agree with this. I tell my friends who are still taking random classes trying to figure out their major/career choice "leave until you find out what you want" don't waste your money hopping from elective class to class. Many of my friends are first generation Mexican and their parents constantly pressure them to get a degree. They do not even care what kind of degree just get one! My parents do this to my older brother relentlessly. It 's hard having that kind of pressure.
I’m just made the decision to dropout and man I’ve never been more happy and terrified of anything. I haven’t finished the video but it’s comforting to know you’re always looking out for everyone with your videos

deferred my course, didnt tell my parents. i hate being told what to do. i dont like due dates, assignments,exams,essays. for me, doing what i want to do is more important. i am not going to live in fear which is coming from my parents, thats why they want us to go to universtiy/college. my happiness and having control over my future is more important.. lol pray that they dont kick me out of home.
well, your parent are not the ones to blame they just want you to be saucerful in your life give them a brake and try to convince them that college is not for everyone
It's not Your Fault Dont Push Yourself Too much On it What's Done is Done your Parents need to Just Accept the Fact that College Wasnt For you and Isnt What you Wanted to Do Just Do What you Love Ethier Way they Just Have to Accept It Whether they like it Or not..
Fair, but you’ll have these in any career path that you’ll choose anyway.
What's your plan to earn money then? If you're employed you'll obviously have to deal with those. If you're a freelancer, you'll have clients with due dates. Hell, even UA-camrs have to deal with deadlines for sponsored videos. I suppose you could start an OnlyFans...
I love your topics. They are really informing my interests on this side. Keep it up!
I am so glad you actually include the “unless you are certain you want to become a doctor, engineer, researcher or the like. That’s the one thing that frustrates me the most by watching these kind of videos
I dropped out of university realizing there's much more to learn than sitting down and getting a degree. Many companies make you get degrees because they are too lazy to verify the truth.
So, I went to college for two years and trade school for maybe 6 months. I had to stop because of the debt. I am currently self-teaching in digital marketing and art. I want to be successful doing things I love instead of having to work a 9-5 my whole life, I also love art. Thanks for the video, It really helped me not think of myself as a failure.
Hye friend. I currently future my studies in degree which is marketing course and now semester 1. But, i found myself really interest in digital marketing. I want to self teaching on it too. I dont really enjoy my degree now. I want to quit. But i think i will dont have a degree😥 i want some advice from you.
I ended up dropping out of university during 3rd year wished I dropped out earlier but the pressure of the expectations of my parents kept me there til I realised that it was my life in the end and I should be living to my own expectations and not other people's. I'm finally taking the path that I desire rather than what others desire for me.
How are things going man, hope you doing fine?
Honestly wish I had just started working after high school. I'm lucky I didn't have loans, but I feel for people who fall into the college trap and get stuck with loans after they drop out. If you're not sure, don't go. Don't sign the loan, you will regret it. You'll have time for college later. Your parents will be mad, but they will be even more mad when you and them (as cosigner's) have to pay back that $20,000 or however much when you dropout 🤷♂️.
I'm so glad education is free in Scotland xD
Scotland?!?!!!!!?!????? Oh I saw the face of G******!!!.
Wdym get back into college later.
It was draining my soul; yet I did not drop out and it made me miserable. Now that I am graduating I am trying to do things I enjoy but its still very hard because of the pressure. Thanks for the video.
I am an engineering undergraduate at CSULA. I agree with a lot of things but my professor once said himself “College doesn’t guarantee you a job, but not going to college doesn’t either.”
So why waste money on college? Start something with that money
First semester i'm already stressed out. Worst decision that i make is going to college.
Same man I want to drop out so badly 😭I'm holding it all for my family
Same here I want to start a small business and will focus that only but I don't know how to convince my parents
I'm on the same boat. I am studying business but I originally wanted to become a car mechanic and work under my dad
Wtf am I doing....
That’s awesome dude I’m honestly in that same path and I would beat myself every day to tell myself your a failure and this and that. I’m only 19 and I’ve suffered depression and anxiety on what I wanted to do and I dropped out
how’s your life right now?
I dropped out of college because I struggled a lot with my adhd and not getting any hands on experience like high school. And I was also sad too in the long run :(
how are you doing now? :)
This is so comforting as ever.
I dropped out today 🥲 lol! On a serious note I feel happier!
How are you 4 months later? I’m thinking of dropping out, college depresses me

I'm really on the edge right now. There are not many options for me right now. College is really expensive for my mom and I just failed a second time. I wasn't a stupid kid or anything. College is just ruining my motivation to learn. I'm planning to post videos on UA-cam and look for a job until I can make money.
this is the first video i'm watching from this channel , and don't know what to say but thank you ,really
after what i'm being trough these days , this is really the thing that made me calm down, i'm so happy to know that there is other alternatives better then going to collage , thinking that i'm not gonna die if i didn't go to collage.
i just really feel happy and calm right now , like i never feel calm before.
but really thank you
This video really opener my eyes. It helped me realize that I'm studying just to make my parents happy, not to make myself happy.
I am in highschool and had been searching about these for a while and I end up having the same thoughts. But a really sad problem is in my country college is everything. So while Im in still highschool Im trying to learn a way that I can both help my family financially and also go to college. Also I find your channel and I love your videos😍
I’m considering not going to college. Maybe starting a business, but I’m so scared it won’t work.
If you go with a negative mindset in life, you are less likely to succeed in whatever path you choose. And almost anything can become a profitable business these days. Maybe a woman's hair salon if you really enjoy that type of work.
You're taking risks every single day. That's pretty much what life asks of us. Just make sure you have a fair chance.
What u get scared of is what u gon succeed
YOU JUST HAVE A SINGLE LIFE. GO TRY NEW THINGS? WHAT'S THE POINT OF LIVING INSIDE THE BOX IN YOUR SINGLE LIFE?
You need to work hard to succeed. Put every effort into making the business successful
Thank you sooooo much improvement pill for letting us know about this!!!!
Glad my Dad has been trying to direct me towards learning Digital Marketing my whole life(he's a freelancer himself). I was just too stubborn in the beginning to accept it.
this really just sounds like a rigged carnival game
Facts..to drop out of college takes alot of thought just as it takes thought to pick a major...I feel as though yeah u can drop out of college but u gotta think about the future..U have to be financially stable THATS A MUST in society,and also ur personal life.If u just dropout and have no game plan ur gunna be stuck working at fast food..

(Ps. big cheers for the videos my man. Been following you since the nofap one. Always a pleasure.)

Thank you very much improvement pill i will never forget these
Ive been learning about real estate and the lesson this guy gives is helpful.
This video was great. I dropped out of my community college after the first semester because, while although I liked the people I met and thought my classes were fine, it didn't feel right at all. I eventually want to be a writer/entertainer overall, and although I could spend all this money on an english degree, or take a screenwriting class, I don't have to. And after a full month( no I am not kidding) I decided to drop out and although my parents were pissed, and overall gave me the vibe that they have no faith in my choice, but I got a boost of clarity. I finally gained control over my life. I think your sentiment at the very end was well said, if you long to become a doctor, lawyer, police officer, etc. go to college. But if you aren't sure, or have a path that doesn't need college, don't waste the money just on the fact that your parents or counselors say it's the right thing to do. Make your life what you want, not what other's think you should want.
Is it okay if I ask what you plan to do now that you’ve dropped out? I’m currently in community college as well and in my first semester and don’t think it’s the right path for me but don’t know what to do if I decide to drop out
My parents were upset too, but they learned to live with it.
Devin Lavoie being a cop doesn’t even require a degree, it’s just a training program (trade school) that community colleges offer
I recently dropped out of college
Does being a singer require a college degree? If it does then I have to force myself to got college in a few years :/
This is only applicable to places like the US. I already know what I want to do in life but every job in my country requires a college degree.
Im on that point that becoming a cameraboi or enlisting for the meme wars r the only choices i have
Just wondering where are you from?
Exactly. Currently, I’m looking at schools in Canada as they are cheaper and there’s just more love for creative arts degrees. People have shat on me for wanting a BFA, but only Americans. Im tired of it.
Dropping out tomorrow, this video gave me a morale boost to do it, thanks a lot 😁
My dad really wants me to go to college and be an engineer like him. But I am really reconsidering and planning on becoming something else like a trade of some sort. This video probably changed my future and I heavily thank you Improvement Pill!! :)
You’re more likely to be flipping burgers if you don’t go to college.
Also, it is all about the mindset. Most of the time when I get out of school, Im totally out of energy and bored, because I know I have to do something, but don't do because I don't want to. This makes me feel bad, and after couple of years I realised this was a circle where I was in. My parents were mad at me, friends were telling me I won't make it etcetera. This made me feel depressed...
Thank you so much for this video. This made me feel better about dropping out. However, I still strongly believe in obtaining some form of education whether it’s formal or informal.
If my first year of college wasn't online, I would of enjoyed it a lot more. But as of now, this whole online school is boring to me and it ruined the experience. I have 1 year left and hopefully I will be able to go on the campus and meet new people.
Its not worth it but my parents value it so i will just finish it
I'm on the same boat. I've mentioned it but they ask me if I'll waste the money they've worked so hard for...
It's YOUR life, never forget that. Parents just want you to live your best life possible but these times are very, very different from the time they base their knowledge on
@@gloriaportillo3090 i think you need to try using your own money if there is anything u wanna do in which u need money try earning for yourself
@@ImprovementPill lol dude you actually replied I just got into high school how can i drop out
mr black flash finish high school lol
Really loved this video Improvement Pill! Got me thinking and I think after community college I may just keep with the associates degree and learn some specific skills and do what I want! I too want to travel the world and network to make more impactful relationships. :)
I enjoyed your video, I dropped out of college in my sophomore year. There were struggles but I always stood up. I got an entry automotive job after 8 months of dropping out. The pay was $29,000 yearly. After 5 years, I climbed the ranks and I’m a senior technician which I get pay $75,000 yearly. One of friends finished his college and got a degree, now his working at McDonald’s being a supervisor which pays $35,000. I’m grateful about the choice I did. Many people told me quitting college means your a failure, you’re never a failure and I’m an example
I'm currently still in high school. About a year ago, I saw a video like this promoting the digital marketing course. I was a bit interested but just categorized Pill as someone trying to make money or helping out a friend. So I just kind of forgot about it. But now I've watched enough of Pill's videos and courses to realize that he truly want to help people like me. It's so hard to face reality sometimes, especially when the people you should trust (friends, family, peers) all just go with the flow. I'll definitely be looking into other options besides college. Now I just have to remember this feeling, this understanding I currently have. Right now, I feel like I can see things so clearly, but society man it just chains you right up again.
How do you get over the great self doubt and uncertainty of the future before you make a decision?
got this on my recommended and im glad cos my first semester of college ends in two weeks and i was not planning on going back ☺️
Same
Lucky. According to my parents, I don’t have a choice.
I’ve always had doubts about colleges. The whole system just never made sense to me. I’m a very goal driven person on my own like I truly do want to be better and I spend a lot of my time working when all my peers are having fun shopping or watching tv loll not to brag or anything (okay maybe I am) but point is!! Rn I’m a sophomore in high school and recently I’ve been looking into colleges and such, but watching this video rly made me pause and just wonder like why am I even doing this like what even is the purpose. I will def look more into this and do more of my own research. Thank you for the video tho it might just have completely changed my life.
This is one of the few resources that actually debunks this whole societal norm/idea and looks at this problem from a logical and Judgement-free perspective. Thank you
I'm dropping out too, and this video really helps. There is no point in wasting life for medical studies too, especially outside of the US since information we get are outdated.
Even if you don't wanna go to college, like society so much likes to push, you still have options. One of which is military, which isn't for everyone and I recognize and respect. But honestly, as someone who's just coming out of highschool, and has a family who taught me a lot that I need to know, such as money management skills, it's prime time for saving my own money. And while I'm in, I can learn I variety of different trades while I'm in the navy. Of course, military isn't for everyone, and it's a serious decision to make if you want to join, one which I spent most of my highschool career deciding upon. I'm going in as an E3, as I've also done ROTC.
I don't plan on going to college, despite the military paying for it. As of now I just wanna get out there, and learn trades that could prove useful. Its something I decided upon and plan to see through.
Thankyou for the video! Really helped hearing your story 🙂
Im considering quitting college, because i at first wanted to be in the FBI, but i wasnt really passionate about it, im more passionate in the sport of boxing, and i have a future there and i plan to purse that dream to be one of the best boxers in history (i also plant to be an actor, my coach has connections to the film indusrty and i plan to make it big there to) these are my actual passions.
My message to you guys is, if it is any passion or dream you have, pursue it, dont wait.
University is so much more than just a way of earning financial security. It is a place to surround yourself with like-minded people with a lot of resources to develop life skills that you value or find completely new interests that will help you, not only in your work life but also life in general. It is truly a place of learning and you decide what to make of your life.
I should say that I live in a place where university is free, and I have not finished university just yet. With that said I would not be where I am today if I just went into work.
I’m at college and it just feels like high school with less rules.
@1 Three 0 Six 1 Social Justice Warrior
drop out is not for everyone, also not everyone should go to college. Just two different choices that you need to decide on your own life...and what more, you're young and less experience...not only about financial but everything.
You don’t have time for that when you work 30 hours a week and have 15 units to complete a semester to graduate in time. I’m so tired of people glorifying college. I’m almost a senior snd this has been the most depressing and stressful time of my life.
Funny, I'm doing digital marketing in University 😂
Im doing the same next year bro. I need to ask you tho, do you think it's worth it? You think we'll do proper after it?
Steven von Hofsten ^
Side Piece Probably not since that’s a skill many can acquire without going to college
Should i try this online course is it worth it, did anybody try it ?
I have one semester left but before that i was in a 3 year sabbatical because I didn't have money. But those 3 years where GOLD. Makes you put things into perspective
So TRUE😭😭I should be thinking now if its Call Center/Business or College Thank You Improvment Pill this is so mind enlightning✨✨
I didn't know how bad college is compared to digital marketing. This really motivates me to work as much as I can on my digital marketing and
my YT channel so I don't have to live such a bad college life. Thank you!
The principal be like: *''FETCH ME THEIR SOULS"*
😂😂😂
I watched this while I was taking a break from writing finals. Ye, it's my 4th year of college. Since I don't have significant skills (or maybe can't find it cuz I was busy at school, got no time to explore) so I depend on this degree to enhance the chance to have a better job. After I finish this finals, I'll start digging up thru my hobbies if there's something I could master and get paid of :)
Thank you Improvement pill. Now I'm starting to calm down since I was anxious about my future
