@@trisopie It wasn't easy at all. Lots of doing without and pain and suffering to make it this far. Never surrender, never stop moving forward even if it's inch by inch.
No, it is not true that the average billionaire didn't go to college. In fact, most billionaires have attended college or university. Sure, if you have an useless degree is difficult just like always.
The first woman mentioned the population was rising which simply isn't true. Birth rates in the United States are at historic lows and below replacement rates. That means there are not enough births to replace a generation. Teen pregnancies have also declined which is a good thing. However, low birth rates for a country like the United States means there won't be enough people to work the jobs out there left by retirees and paying taxes to contribute to government services such as police, fire, public schools, roads, etc. People then want to complain about immigration, yet most of those immigrants work the low paying jobs that nobody wants to work. This dilemma can only accelerate the need for AI to do the jobs. Of course, I suspect the economy is the biggest reason why people are choosing to either not have kids or postpone it. The reality is everyone will NOT be rich. There will always be poor people and those in between. People are needed to work the blue collar trade jobs (ie: Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical, etc). People are needed to be in the service industry as well as services such as waste and manufacturing. Everyone can't be a content creator (nor should be). Everyone can't be an "entrepreneur" (if everyone was, who will work for these entrepreneurs?). That is simply not how any society can thrive. Everyone will not have their dream job. This is LIFE. The sooner people figure that out the better. People complain about Social Security not being enough, yet the decline in birth rates means there will be fewer people contributing into SS. If it were not for SS, we would have more elders on the streets and THAT unfortunately is the reality.
normal time period to expect for a job search in a normal economy is 6 months this rule of thumb has been around for decades. during the 2009 financial crisis it pushed that window up to 2 years as we saw people looking for work for 99 weeks or more and still couldn't find any. in a super hot economy within 3 months. so expect the worst which is it could take a while to find a job.
There has never been a guarantee. I think sometimes people think in a silo... a software engineer needs a degree in software engineering. A doctor needs a doctorate. Nurses need their degree. You are not less likely to get a job with a degree, thats nonsense. You should not expect your degree to do heavy lifting its like taking pre calculus before calculus its a prerequisite - doesn't guarantee anything. (You can be a software engineer without a degree btw it was just an example of a specified degree that is used in a specialized field. I wouldn't use art degrees as an example in this instance those are legitimately useless.)
College is too expensive for people who don’t have wealthy families for there not to be guarantees…your world view only makes sense when college was inexpensive and people could afford to cover their schooling working summers. That hasn’t been possible since the Baby Boomer generation. Hence why we have a 1.8 trillion dollar student loan crisis. On of which is about to pop off in a week when the student loan on ramp program expires and a lot of people’s credit gets trashed. Stay tuned.
@@GigaChad_169 I feel like with all the affordable schooling we have these days everyone is simply full of excuses they can use to say why they didn't or can't make it. You no longer need to be wealthy or drown in debt to get an education.
@@GigaChad_169 idk about other states, but in georgia, you literally just need a 3.0 in high school and you have a free college degree, you don't need to be rich
@@YeaNo.yea we’d be lying to say there’s NO options financially ig. I think there’s a more nuanced take to this, does anyone WANT to go to college? Most of us it’s for the money and to sit 4 years of your life in hopes of a potential salary Is gonna become progressively more inconvenient for people in this day and age, especially while the elites squeeze the 99% with disrespectfully out of reach rent and home prices rent cars etc, it’s gonna get real tight in the next few years we know this.
I wish we could all just pick a plot of land, tend it and be left alone. That's all I want in this life, tbh. I don't care about making money, I just want to be left alone to live my life in peace as God intended and not have to slave away to this beast system until I'm old and decrepit. I graduated from law school last year and I'm honestly dreading going into the workforce. I have zero desire to be surrounded by a bunch of people who have fooled themselves into thinking their career is something to be impressed by. Working sucks, ALL jobs are shit whether you're a doctor or a kitchen hand, it's all the same to me but in all honesty, I'd rather pack boxes than deal with people's childish problems and egos in a "professional" role.
I agree. Sometimes I just sit and think, why do we have to pay to exist? Go to work to pay for the home that you are never in because you're at work all day. The main reason for having a car is to have a way to get to work , unless ones city has a good public transit system. It sucks
I have a Bachelors degree from a brick and mortar state university that is doing exactly what I intended it to do. It hangs on the wall as proof that I could do the work, that I am as intelligent as other "educated" people. Most of my classmates were drunks, pill poppers or moral degenerates who were there because it was college or join the workforce. Our son is earning an aviation degree (he is a certified pilot with a minor in Aviation Safety) to have a marketable skill that isn't just a piece of paper that hangs on the wall. Get a skill or be as "smart" as me. I'm thriving, are you?
It makes no damn sense, college is for the rich and always has been. if I ask anyone in this economy let me borrow 10k + right now and in 4 years they have the chance to WORK ( still have to “work” and pay it back ) and they make let’s say 30-40 and hour, I feel like with taxes and inflation and how quick things are changing each year, it’s not worth it. Be honest is your 30-40 hr gonna go as far 2 years from now? Be real. Just with how fast things are changing i feel like more ppl would be inclined to pass on that offer, ppl need capital and fast. Americas crashing in the next 2 years lol not to mention with classes, unless you Superman and want no downtime, you can barely work in school and make some money in college. It’s just silly to me. There’s gonna be a point where the convenience of just saving a little and stacking your crumbs outweighs dropping a bag on “education” People in this day and age are becoming doctors for the money police officers for the money, it’s soulless. You can have a doctor tweaking up your heart and they don’t want to be there lmao 😂 especially with gen z coming in the kids are becoming more stupid each year, who knows if they gon even know what they doing in these professions.
the answer is community college. Anyone can go there if they apply themselves and have clear goals to make their life better. It's the same education as a university for a fraction of the cost. I have been to both. People are a sold a lie that they HAVE to go straight to uni then wonder why they are in debt. They would have been in a lot better shape if they went to CC first. A lot of different healthcare programs are offered at CCs too that are associates degrees including nursing. STEM, IT, finance/accounting... As long as you choose a good degree, you can get a lot accomplished
I was thinking the same thing. In addition, if military , they could go in as Officers making more and will have the experience the civilian world requires these days.
Early to mid 90’s, graduate with a business degree and step out into a job making $40-$50k. Your student loan was minimal and you could get a 2k sq. Ft. Home for around $100k if you bought it right. A really nice car, top end was $10-$15k, a nice one. Nowadays, you graduate, you’ll get the same amount of money, your student loan is $200k, if you’re lucky. The same house is now $400k, an average car is $40-$50k and god forbid they’re out of warranty you’ll never be able to fix it. people wonder why they’re broke.
250k for being a pharmacist is insane. I have a brother in law and both him and his wife are pharmacists and they only had 100k debt for each of them and they lived below their means not changing lifestyle for 3-4 years to pay it off fast and now they live really really well. This girl went to an over priced prestigious pharmacy school. Go to the cheapest one and don’t rack up debt like she did. She prob lived in a nice apartment and ate out etc.
Depends on the degree, don’t get useless psychology, sociology, liberal arts, English type degrees. Get STEM or accounting degrees for good paying jobs. Unless you’re going for law school or becoming a doctor get those relevant degrees. Plus billionaires that didn’t get a degree they are still very very rare.

There are a lot of useful degrees out there, namely in the STEM field, but so many ppl just can't get through sciences... chemistry is fucking hard and many ppl fail
I have an associates in English 🤭 making $60k a year working at an HVAC manufacturing company. For some of us, it’s truly **how** you market your degree. I’d say I won. It’s people walking around with BA & MBA debt that’s currently unemployed
Stay home go to community college pay that off first . Once done with community college and pay off that debt with a Pell grant if able or just on your own . Then proceed to state college while using your associates to build experience work wise . By the time you achieve a bachelors or masters degree you have all this work experience from the bottom with your associates degree . It’s way more impressive working under an individual who does what you’re spending all this money on to become . Plus you owe half the price on your education if you just pace yourself . Keep it simple folks think smarter not harder .
There are jobs today requiring a degree that a person used to receive "On-The-Job-Training" for. Some things are worth going to college for - the issue is that newer generations are targeting work fields that have an oversaturation of applicants but no jobs to accommodate them.......TRADES ARE THE WAY!!! You guys all want to work from home and not get yourselves dirty, that's why you can't find a job. The job market is always shifting and you refuse to shift with it.
@@BobaDavis I guess it does still depend. In East WA and north Idaho they are not taking any new tradesmen and are currently trying to offload their current staff. Books are full up to the thousands. There is a lot of work that is being started in the Northeast though
Nobody's getting hired huh? I took me two weeks to find a new job after I left my old one back in July. If you have a degree in something that's always in demand like chemistry or medicine it's usually not too hard to find a job of some kind.
Nobody said you were guaranteed a job when your graduate the implication was you will get the job over someone who didn’t get a degree most likely but based on my experience most people with good jobs got them by their network.
College definitely outdated marketing degrees legit probably only teach sales based skills and tbh marketing is now digital marketing and colleges barely go into digital marketing
“I’ve just been filling my time relaxing…” that’s the problem. No onexwould hire me either when I left college. So I created a job instead of relaxing.
The first girl was absolutely right a.i just took the nation there are no jobs because so many factors and job sites are automated now. Unless you know programming your screwed!
If i were a hiring manager the first thing i would do is search the applicant's social media presence. If see a tiktok clone, i would pass on that applicant. Too high maintenance. Too fake. Too much liability. I wouldnt have time for that.
Yep, I have two "useless" degrees. But I did a double major, so I didn't go two separate times. I dropped out of MSW program because I felt it would put me in the same boat : degreed with no job
My daughter graduated🎓 from college in may and is teacher now... I think people are choosing saturated career fields. Choose a career field that is in demand. Law enforcement, sanitation and firefighters are always hiring.
Let’s see how long she lasts, teachers have the second highest turnover rate to healthcare workers. Duh it’s easy to get a job as a teacher because of what she has to deal with and the lack or resources she’s going to have. Also the pressure of not having your principle OR the parents in your side. Good luck😬
go to college that the world needs that people need both my kids are going to college to become airline pilots yes I am paying on it, but it is something that they will get a job after college since they are in high demand. the tech industry is over AI will eventually take over most jobs, not unless you're the person that they need to fix it😂. unfortunately, it seems most women on here went to college that was at that time needed, but no longer wanted. No one is hiring the office jobs that are already filled. The ones you will find are more labor-intensive jobs like in the manufacturing sector.
You are right. We have free access to unlimited information online and offline. Why should we waste money on education when we can just take notes while reading, watching videos, and listening to podcasts?
Why do that when you can just get a retail job upon graduation and hoard the cash? Work those 80 hour work weeks when you're 18-23 and then decide if you really want to go to trade school or college. I bet your answer will be hell no. If you're not willing to spend your hard earned cash on something then why would you bother taking out debt? Our country has turned in a ponzi scheme debt trap where anyone who wants basic things (cars, homes, education/training for job placement) has to put themselves in debt for it. Debt is never worth it. Paying in all cash is. That's a real investment. Rich people pay for things in cash.

The reality is everyone will NOT be rich. There will always be poor people and those in between. People are needed to work the blue collar trade jobs (ie: Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical, etc). People are needed to be in the service industry as well as services such as waste and manufacturing. Everyone can't be a content creator (nor should be). Everyone can't be an "entrepreneur" (if everyone was, who will work for these entrepreneurs?). That is simply not how any society can thrive. Everyone will not have their dream job. This is LIFE. The sooner people figure that out the better. People complain about Social Security not being enough, yet the decline in birth rates means there will be fewer people contributing into SS. If it were not for SS, we would have more elders on the streets and THAT unfortunately is the reality.
normal time period to expect for a job search in a normal economy is 6 months this rule of thumb has been around for decades. during the 2009 financial crisis it pushed that window up to 2 years as we saw people looking for work for 99 weeks or more and still couldn't find any. in a super hot economy within 3 months.
so expect the worst which is it could take a while to find a job.
There has never been a guarantee. I think sometimes people think in a silo... a software engineer needs a degree in software engineering. A doctor needs a doctorate. Nurses need their degree. You are not less likely to get a job with a degree, thats nonsense. You should not expect your degree to do heavy lifting its like taking pre calculus before calculus its a prerequisite - doesn't guarantee anything.
(You can be a software engineer without a degree btw it was just an example of a specified degree that is used in a specialized field. I wouldn't use art degrees as an example in this instance those are legitimately useless.)
College is too expensive for people who don’t have wealthy families for there not to be guarantees…your world view only makes sense when college was inexpensive and people could afford to cover their schooling working summers.
That hasn’t been possible since the Baby Boomer generation. Hence why we have a 1.8 trillion dollar student loan crisis. On of which is about to pop off in a week when the student loan on ramp program expires and a lot of people’s credit gets trashed.
Stay tuned.
@@GigaChad_169 I feel like with all the affordable schooling we have these days everyone is simply full of excuses they can use to say why they didn't or can't make it. You no longer need to be wealthy or drown in debt to get an education.
@@GigaChad_169 idk about other states, but in georgia, you literally just need a 3.0 in high school and you have a free college degree, you don't need to be rich
@@YeaNo.yea we’d be lying to say there’s NO options financially ig. I think there’s a more nuanced take to this, does anyone WANT to go to college? Most of us it’s for the money and to sit 4 years of your life in hopes of a potential salary Is gonna become progressively more inconvenient for people in this day and age, especially while the elites squeeze the 99% with disrespectfully out of reach rent and home prices rent cars etc, it’s gonna get real tight in the next few years we know this.
I wish we could all just pick a plot of land, tend it and be left alone. That's all I want in this life, tbh. I don't care about making money, I just want to be left alone to live my life in peace as God intended and not have to slave away to this beast system until I'm old and decrepit.
I graduated from law school last year and I'm honestly dreading going into the workforce. I have zero desire to be surrounded by a bunch of people who have fooled themselves into thinking their career is something to be impressed by. Working sucks, ALL jobs are shit whether you're a doctor or a kitchen hand, it's all the same to me but in all honesty, I'd rather pack boxes than deal with people's childish problems and egos in a "professional" role.
I agree. Sometimes I just sit and think, why do we have to pay to exist? Go to work to pay for the home that you are never in because you're at work all day. The main reason for having a car is to have a way to get to work , unless ones city has a good public transit system. It sucks
I have a Bachelors degree from a brick and mortar state university that is doing exactly what I intended it to do. It hangs on the wall as proof that I could do the work, that I am as intelligent as other "educated" people. Most of my classmates were drunks, pill poppers or moral degenerates who were there because it was college or join the workforce. Our son is earning an aviation degree (he is a certified pilot with a minor in Aviation Safety) to have a marketable skill that isn't just a piece of paper that hangs on the wall.
Get a skill or be as "smart" as me.
I'm thriving, are you?
😂😂😂 people be thinkkng they better than you cause they have a stupid paper but they broke and got alot of debt😂😂
It makes no damn sense, college is for the rich and always has been. if I ask anyone in this economy let me borrow 10k + right now and in 4 years they have the chance to WORK ( still have to “work” and pay it back ) and they make let’s say 30-40 and hour, I feel like with taxes and inflation and how quick things are changing each year, it’s not worth it. Be honest is your 30-40 hr gonna go as far 2 years from now? Be real. Just with how fast things are changing i feel like more ppl would be inclined to pass on that offer, ppl need capital and fast. Americas crashing in the next 2 years lol not to mention with classes, unless you Superman and want no downtime, you can barely work in school and make some money in college. It’s just silly to me. There’s gonna be a point where the convenience of just saving a little and stacking your crumbs outweighs dropping a bag on “education” People in this day and age are becoming doctors for the money police officers for the money, it’s soulless. You can have a doctor tweaking up your heart and they don’t want to be there lmao 😂 especially with gen z coming in the kids are becoming more stupid each year, who knows if they gon even know what they doing in these professions.
You should have stayed in school
the answer is community college. Anyone can go there if they apply themselves and have clear goals to make their life better. It's the same education as a university for a fraction of the cost. I have been to both. People are a sold a lie that they HAVE to go straight to uni then wonder why they are in debt. They would have been in a lot better shape if they went to CC first. A lot of different healthcare programs are offered at CCs too that are associates degrees including nursing. STEM, IT, finance/accounting... As long as you choose a good degree, you can get a lot accomplished
Four years in the military or law enforcement and your student loans are repaid by government. How many would do that?
I was thinking the same thing. In addition, if military , they could go in as Officers making more and will have the experience the civilian world requires these days.
Early to mid 90’s, graduate with a business degree and step out into a job making $40-$50k. Your student loan was minimal and you could get a 2k sq. Ft. Home for around $100k if you bought it right. A really nice car, top end was $10-$15k, a nice one.
Nowadays, you graduate, you’ll get the same amount of money, your student loan is $200k, if you’re lucky. The same house is now $400k, an average car is $40-$50k and god forbid they’re out of warranty you’ll never be able to fix it. people wonder why they’re broke.
So she obviously doesn’t know the definition of trophy wife… just saying
When you sang "that's just the way it is" 💀 I subscribed immediately 😅😂
omg. that pharmacist was spot on
250k for being a pharmacist is insane. I have a brother in law and both him and his wife are pharmacists and they only had 100k debt for each of them and they lived below their means not changing lifestyle for 3-4 years to pay it off fast and now they live really really well. This girl went to an over priced prestigious pharmacy school. Go to the cheapest one and don’t rack up debt like she did. She prob lived in a nice apartment and ate out etc.
went for mass comm
dropped out cause i was doing math for 2 years ????
Parents should start telling their kids to go to colleges that are going to help them get decent jobs and/or teach them about finances.
Depends on the degree, don’t get useless psychology, sociology, liberal arts, English type degrees. Get STEM or accounting degrees for good paying jobs. Unless you’re going for law school or becoming a doctor get those relevant degrees. Plus billionaires that didn’t get a degree they are still very very rare. Elon musk has a degree.

There are a lot of useful degrees out there, namely in the STEM field, but so many ppl just can't get through sciences... chemistry is fucking hard and many ppl fail
@@alessandrac1940 I have a IT degree, not insanely hard but still worked hard for it and have a great job in IT now.
I have an associates in English 🤭 making $60k a year working at an HVAC manufacturing company. For some of us, it’s truly **how** you market your degree. I’d say I won. It’s people walking around with BA & MBA debt that’s currently unemployed
@@Kiyonce.Kartier but you could have done the same job without the English degree and didn’t have to waste money on a degree.
I laugh at people who say they have degress😂😂😂
Stay home go to community college pay that off first . Once done with community college and pay off that debt with a Pell grant if able or just on your own . Then proceed to state college while using your associates to build experience work wise . By the time you achieve a bachelors or masters degree you have all this work experience from the bottom with your associates degree . It’s way more impressive working under an individual who does what you’re spending all this money on to become . Plus you owe half the price on your education if you just pace yourself . Keep it simple folks think smarter not harder .
Thriving.
Salute to the gods🏹
Happy to see your channel growing so fast YT!
I have a friend that has a business degree and can’t find a good job.
But i think college is worth it find a good degree that will make you money.
Two options for low income folks
Military and Trade Schools
There are jobs today requiring a degree that a person used to receive "On-The-Job-Training" for. Some things are worth going to college for - the issue is that newer generations are targeting work fields that have an oversaturation of applicants but no jobs to accommodate them.......TRADES ARE THE WAY!!! You guys all want to work from home and not get yourselves dirty, that's why you can't find a job. The job market is always shifting and you refuse to shift with it.
trades saturated now, sorry mate. good luck though!
@@DarkwellorBZ Not in the states - we're going through a lack of tradesmen here.
@@BobaDavis I guess it does still depend. In East WA and north Idaho they are not taking any new tradesmen and are currently trying to offload their current staff. Books are full up to the thousands. There is a lot of work that is being started in the Northeast though
@@DarkwellorBZ Yeah, I was just about to say that - they really should migrate out to the costal cities because these Gen Z are lazy as hell.
Nobody's getting hired huh? I took me two weeks to find a new job after I left my old one back in July. If you have a degree in something that's always in demand like chemistry or medicine it's usually not too hard to find a job of some kind.
But getting through chemistry class was absolute hell..
@@alessandrac1940Nothing worth having comes easily. 😁
Nobody said you were guaranteed a job when your graduate the implication was you will get the job over someone who didn’t get a degree most likely but based on my experience most people with good jobs got them by their network.
College definitely outdated marketing degrees legit probably only teach sales based skills and tbh marketing is now digital marketing and colleges barely go into digital marketing
“I’ve just been filling my time relaxing…” that’s the problem. No onexwould hire me either when I left college. So I created a job instead of relaxing.
The first girl was absolutely right a.i just took the nation there are no jobs because so many factors and job sites are automated now. Unless you know programming your screwed!
I'd like to go to live in a hut in the forest, this system it gross me out
College. Has been a scam for awhile
College wasn't meant for peasants. They'll take your money (or debt loans), but you're still a serf 😟
it's interesting back in the distant past post secondary education was for .... wealthy people. drum roll
Loan repayment should be conditional upon obtaining employment. Methinks many majors would vanish overnight (e.g., Etruscan Dance; Mayan Astrologer).
People brag about having a degree and work at mcdonalds 😂😂😂
I'll help you guys out with a little rhyme😉👌🏽
you got to think ahead,
before you fall behind😂
I'd say it depends on the degree. I have an MBA and thriving.
I graduated from law school 2015, still can’t find a job.. atleast a lot of these people can live at home rent free!
This computer science degree put me in a bunch of debt I thought I could prove my parents wrong but in the end I feel like I failed honestly.
How much
Thriving ! Tx for sharing !
IF you are not doing STEM DONT GO!! GO TO TRADE SCHOOL.. OR START HUSTLING AND MAKE YOUR OWN BUINESS..
Thriving! Love your input
post office is hiring.
*NO!* it's hell
Technically things haven't been the same since the 90s also saw the robots back in the 70s nothing is new under the sun
😂😂 people are so slow
I work in a specialized business field (Supply chain management) and doing well. Just depends on how you market yourself after you graduate
Thriving !! license jobs are easier to get hired/ rehired.. for now at least…
If i were a hiring manager the first thing i would do is search the applicant's social media presence. If see a tiktok clone, i would pass on that applicant. Too high maintenance. Too fake. Too much liability. I wouldnt have time for that.
Dayum, yall recent grads up Schitt's Creek. Having to carry Federal student loans to the grave.
I feel that I have three degrees and am still looking for a job.
Yep, I have two "useless" degrees. But I did a double major, so I didn't go two separate times. I dropped out of MSW program because I felt it would put me in the same boat : degreed with no job
My daughter graduated🎓 from college in may and is teacher now... I think people are choosing saturated career fields. Choose a career field that is in demand. Law enforcement, sanitation and firefighters are always hiring.
Let’s see how long she lasts, teachers have the second highest turnover rate to healthcare workers. Duh it’s easy to get a job as a teacher because of what she has to deal with and the lack or resources she’s going to have. Also the pressure of not having your principle OR the parents in your side. Good luck😬
go to college that the world needs that people need both my kids are going to college to become airline pilots yes I am paying on it, but it is something that they will get a job after college since they are in high demand. the tech industry is over AI will eventually take over most jobs, not unless you're the person that they need to fix it😂. unfortunately, it seems most women on here went to college that was at that time needed, but no longer wanted. No one is hiring the office jobs that are already filled. The ones you will find are more labor-intensive jobs like in the manufacturing sector.
Thriving 👊🏽
I own 7 Bitcoin, and a bunch of other cryptos and a bunch of stocks, never went to college. Everything for free on internet 😂😂
You are right. We have free access to unlimited information online and offline. Why should we waste money on education when we can just take notes while reading, watching videos, and listening to podcasts?
You cooking! 🎉
Okay Matt Damon... but seriously, you aren't wrong 😂
Why do that when you can just get a retail job upon graduation and hoard the cash? Work those 80 hour work weeks when you're 18-23 and then decide if you really want to go to trade school or college.
I bet your answer will be hell no.
If you're not willing to spend your hard earned cash on something then why would you bother taking out debt?
Our country has turned in a ponzi scheme debt trap where anyone who wants basic things (cars, homes, education/training for job placement) has to put themselves in debt for it.
Debt is never worth it. Paying in all cash is. That's a real investment. Rich people pay for things in cash.
80 hr retail???🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 holy fk just keel yur sailf at that point. Becoming a slave is insane, you really just said work harder not smarter
do you live in Kansas or something?! No retail store in most of the US is giving that many hours
THRIVING ❤
Said no doctor ever….
If you get a dumb degree then no you're not going to get a good job.
Yup and go packers!
Thriving!
Hope you having a good night bro 🎉
I’m committed.
