    These kids are 80 years old now. Everybody has regrets in life of some sort. I wonder what theirs were. Wouldn't it be something if they could see this video today?

      @@sammymillerman High school graduates are generally 17-18, so the class of 1958 would have been born in 1958-18=1940 to 1958-17=1941. 2020-1940=80 so I would say that's right on the money.
      I think it would definitely be interesting to have a reunion of all 10 students, find out what they did with their lives, and show them the video and get their reactions. But the truth is, most likely at least 3 would no longer be alive, and there is some chance that one of them died young.

      Wage rates have risen with inflation in jobs with marketable skills.

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard, “Do you know anyone who is hiring that doesn’t drug test?”

      Strange that I came across this video and your comment. I'm 45 and was recently recalling memories of adults laughing when I answered their questions seriously and thoughtfully. It was embarrassing and kept me from speaking my mind. Now I understand it caught them off guard and their reaction was involuntary. So now, as a grown man, I don't ever belittle someone for having less experience in life or assuming their youth is a detriment. Everyone should be heard and respected until they become disrespectful of others.

My father's attitude was basically to keep your head down and work, and just be happy you have a job. He really didn't have the idealism the baby boomers had.

    • @austinjrb
      @austinjrb 4 роки тому +8

      This is a weak argument because truthfully, Community College is VERY affordable for those that need the help.
      BOG Fee Waivers and Financial Aid end up putting students at every Community College I've been to in the positive... we all have actually gained more money than it costs each semester. This was the case at Antelope Valley College, Santa Monica College, and Compton College. All of us. I don't know a single student that complained about losing money because even the ones that came out of pocket (like me) got the money from the school.
      Furthermore, it's not uncommon at all for people to finish their undergraduate programs at real Universities with 0 debt because there are so many programs for people from low-income areas or if they're a first generation college student. AND if you couple this with doing your first 2 years at Community College, then you really have to put forth an effort to rack up some debt.
      At this point the whole "college is too expensive" thing is almost a cliche, tired argument that's been addressed for those that actually need to/want to attend. If we're talking undergraduate degrees then it's a good hypothetical but falls apart when put against reality.

    • @Kaboomboo
      @Kaboomboo 3 роки тому +1

      Community college is pretty cheap though. Like a thousand a semester if you're full time. The only problem with community college is that a lot of them don't offer 4 year degrees, they just cap off at 2 years. That's why people just opt to go to university.

    I am a member of this very group. I would have graduated from high school in 1958, except for the fact that I quit school after grade 10 so I can work on the farm. This went well for a few years, but I had an intense interest in electronics that eventually led me away from the farm. I first did a home study course in radio and TV repair, then worked for a while in that trade as an apprentice and picking up more skill in that field. Wanted to do higher level work, so I went back (part time) to pick up a few high school courses to allow me to enter into an electronics technology course. Got real lucky and was hired by Honeywell in 1965 to work as a mainframe computer technician installing and maintaining their equipment. That led to a 25 year career in the mainframe computer field. I moved on from the technician role to programming and software development in my new role in customer support. The mainframe business died off in the 1990s and when I was laid off from that, worked for a dozen years as an independent computer consultant until I retired. My education continued all these years with a mix of self learning, on-the-job training, and taking night classes. This worked for me but probably is not a good plan for today's generation.

      Start early. Get a part time job and get some experience in the work world. At the same time, start to look at future career options and what it takes to get there. You can do it right here. Just type in "machine learning" on the search bar above, and you will see a range of selections giving additional information in that field. If that is not your thing try "brain surgery" or "cardiac care" or whatever it is in life that interests you. Then prepare yourself by getting the education needed to succeed in your chosen field. Have a 'Plan B' in case your first choice does not work out. As we go down the road of life we sometimes change directions voluntarily or because of outside factors. Be ready and adaptive to change. And finally, good luck. Sometimes you just get lucky.

    I love the woman speaking at 1:02. Her viewpoint is still relevant today - that *most* people aren't ready to commit themselves to a lifetime of debt and a career by the age of 18. Back then, there was significantly more pressure to stay home, have kids, and just do what you were told, but it sounds like she has different goals. Great video.

    For everyone saying teens back then seemed so well spoken and mature, consider this: Back then, people weren't used to being recorded, and, when asked to participate in something being recorded, the expectation was that you wanted to pull out the best and brightest and you wanted everyone to look polished and make a good impression. Today, since we record ourselves all the time, there's no longer a feeling of wow this is being recorded so I want to sound good. I don't think the people back then were necessarily so different, I just think the expectation of appropriate behavior in public recordings was different!

    That girl was completely right in saying that knowledge is never waisted. But when I say that it doesn’t mean necessarily formal knowledge. But everything you learn, can’t be taken away from you. College is a great space to learn because you have great teachers who will make you question the way you see things now, and also a lot of other students with whom you can share your views and learn from theirs as well. But it surely isn’t necessary if you feel like that isn’t your path. Just keep studying whatever it is, keep learning. It will be handy at some point.

      Generally speaking, knowledge is never wasted. This is, unless you go to a school where they shove an ideology down your throat while paying for it as student loans for years while flipping burgers since your diploma doesn't help you get any real job. In other words, you should prioritize what you need to learn over what you want to study.

      @@WW-jh2ge If someone from some other post called it "poison" then keep your comment tailored to that post and in that post. And I looked at your article. The article, graphs, and data did not show anything about whether or not Republicans think cost of college should be reduced. It's displaying whether or not Republicans believe college has an overall negative or positive impact on the country. And here it actually proves against your point. Up until 2015 it shows that Republicans do believe that college has an overall positive impact on the country. Only very recently has it switched.
      "As recently as two years ago, most Republicans and Republican leaners held a positive view of the role of colleges and universities. In September 2015, 54% of Republicans said colleges and universities had a positive impact on the way things were going in the country; 37% rated their impact negatively.
      By 2016, Republicans’ ratings of colleges and universities were mixed (43% positive, 45% negative). Today, for the first time on a question asked since 2010, a majority (58%) of Republicans say colleges and universities are having a negative effect on the way things are going in the country, while 36% say they have a positive effect."
      Now also it does not say anywhere in the article provided why they had such a polarizing switch on view of college recently. My take on the reasoning behind that switch is that Republicans maybe are feeling that the cost of college for what you get is too high and at the end it still does not guarantee you a job or guarantee an increase in standard of living. I believe a combination of media becoming echo chambers for their ideology, as well as the media and other common social outlets used in dividing the parties, and the cost of college increasing is what makes these Republicans have a change in view.
      But anyways, keep generalizing all Republicans go back to your echo chambers. The fact that it seems you have either barely read the source you have provided is unsettling. I am not even a Republican and I felt compelled to say something.
