Life after high school straight up sucks especially with the pressure to find scholarships to ultimately slightly ease the debt after college which I'd be left hopeless wondering how to pay it off. It's just downright repulsive how colleges ignore ur ambition over ur money, at least that's how it feels to me
This is why I never went to college the fact that there is no guarantee that you will be able to pay for the massive debt you get for going makes colleges essentially worthless.
Most people around my community can afford this. I’ve seen 2 siblings go to college and it wasn’t that bad because of certain scholarships. However, I do know it’s very expensive to us too and I get that some people don’t have enough money to pay for college and I also think they should decrease prices
@@brokestudentinschool2731 america has some of the best colleges in the world and for many people living in less developed countries studying there is a dream
@@xoitsmaria while America IS more developed than most countries, the education system is definitely lacking. You could say we have incredible colleges like Yale or Harvard; but those are ungodly expensive AND are only useful to the student for the name; they honestly don't teach much better than any other university.
Before, I planned to go into the field of computing and become some sort of server analyst or a server technician at the time. However, I ultimately didn't go to school because I didn't want to put 49k towards my tuition and instead focused on experience. Sometimes, experience still can get you a job, but a lot of times I was turned away since I didn't have a degree to my name. Also wanted to go into the field of medicine but again, that's too expensive. One thing I really wish school taught me was how to manage my finances though, because I can easily see how people can drown in debt well before they're graduated. Especially when you're fresh out of high school, it's way too easy to ruin your credit, which is pretty much needed for a lot of things
That opening is why people what are opposed to student loans and abolishing student loan debt have been saying for years. When schools can charge whatever they want they’ll charge more and more.
This is the two example of why you need federal regulation toward the college industry. Free market ain't going to fix it unless they a way to easily and cheaper way to get those degree
@@Watch-0w1 ... wait. Someone on UA-cam not going absolutely mental at even an indirect opposition to their statement? I'm impressed. +1. Anyway, yes. I fully support the online competitors to colleges which make their money by selling skills rather than a worthless piece of paper.
I think that people who want to go to college should, but free online courses should be avaliable. For example, I have learnt abstract algebra from an online textbook, even though I shouldn't have learnt it yet. And those free online courses should exist for every level: Undergraduate, graduate, PhD etc. Those courses should also issue a diploma after a final test, and businesses should not discriminate between people who have a diploma from an online course or people who have a diploma from college. That is the solution.
It be like that as a poor college student this is extremely accurate and sadly true. So many poor students in America struggle with this and we wonder why it’s so hard to find nurses, doctors, more white collar workers. It’s because the schooling price and gen Ed’s American colleges make you take. Time is money
I went to college when I was 19 years old. I could only afford one semester and after that. I havent ever been able to afford to go back. It's so expensive without loans
My parents insisted on my getting a "useful" degree (rather than what interested me), which was a LOT more expensive for them and still resulted in a useless bachelor's when I couldn't make it through the internship. Only about half of people who start a postsecondary degree complete it, and only about half of those that complete a degree get a job requiring it. So study what you feel passionate about, even if it means your parents drop you like a hot potato. It's your life, not theirs.
In Scotland, people born here are entitled to free university education for their first degree and my parents told me I can stay at their house until I graduate from university (I'm still in high school). Lots of work I do in class has become digital so hopefully open source books become standard when I graduate high school.
same here in saudi but alot degree are becoming useless alot college graduates here are working low paying jobs that does'nt even need a degree, other jobs are asking for a more higher degree year after year and people with lower ones are geting payed less.
ah you are very lucky. university here costs over £13K and add all the tuition fees cause children/ teens/ that adult age- these people DON'T SURVIVE. teachers only care about their pay here. no matter how much effort students will put in, at the end of the day it is up to a teacher to focus on how much they have taught. and how well all those facts soaked in.
I totally thought this was going to be about how the way school teaches is not the most optimal (unfun fact probably the least) and the poor support for those that fall behind
same and that they're aware of it because they just want the money from the students - if a student fails they'll have to repeat, more money for the schools
@@seikogrey yeah, I also love how much money they make but they don't even buy things that have at least been built in the last century or god forbid pay teachers for the amount of work they have to withstand
Idk if y’all see the comments after 5 days but I’m currently in college as a freshman getting my business administration degree. though, through my experience so far, I’d say college is wacky. There’s so many ways to make money nowadays, it outshines what u can do with a degree. It’s just luck and hard work.
It hard work (discipline and working as much as you mentally can), smart work (planning and being efficient) and luck (which is something that is out of our control so we shouldn't put too much pressure into it but always be aware of it) .....
And parents and adults in a high schoolers life pressure them to go to college so much only for them to be scammed out of hundreds of thousands of dollars from unsuspecting vulnerable kids and able to get away with it 🙄
@bababooey well they need to replace it UA-cam is legit close to be the replacement the only reason UA-cam is not a replacement yet is due to god dam terrible youtubers like MidiLadd or Lil Pump 6 9 making it insanely dangerous such as link scams and so on and that UA-cam moderation barely exist or bots that barely function
As a graduate, I've got one piece of advice to anyone looking to get a degree (in a field where it's not actually required): Don't. 4 years of experience in the field is 10x more valuable than almost any bachelor's degree. Not only that, but instead of charging you for the privilege of learning, you are paid, and actually contribute to society. Your life is not over if you don't go to college, no matter what the corrupt school systems try and tell you. And if you're willing to learn how to work with your hands, electricians and plumbers can make hundreds of thousands a year - no calculus required. No predatory loans or indoctrination needed. Just actually working and doing something for the world. Obviously, certain jobs (particularly doctors) have extremely stringent requirements (most of which are for good reason), so I'm not talking about those.
Yeah, i am from a less developed country than the us. I'm jealous that Americans can make a lot of money without needing bachelor's degree. in my country if you don't have bachelor's degree you get little salary and it's kinda of hard to make a living (if you're living in an important city)
I’m really glad you covered this. I recently fell where I didn’t want to continue college anymore. I wanted to do other things, real estate and other endeavors. My mom, being a foreign mom, basically threatened for me to go back to college. Yea college isn’t the worst path. But it isn’t the best either. I’m going to college and don’t even know what I want to study, just doing general studies. I want to do something bigger than me, and college isn’t part of that plan.
Please don’t do it, you can do better, just get a retail job or something, don’t put yourself through college. College is the worst path, it’s a load of shite.
I did one semester in community college, then quit. I went to a trade school that does job placement upon graduation, and it literally changed my life. No prospective employer cares as much about anything as they do about *_experience._* If you're broke and fresh out of college, you have no real world experience. If your school gets your foot in the door somewhere, that first job *_is_* your experience for your next higher-paying job, and when you start working, you'll be under a much smaller cloud of debt. You might be surprised, there's some kind of trade school for almost anything you might be interested in. If the top-tier roles in your preferred industry require a traditional college degree, go to a trade school to get hired by an employer that will pay for your college education.
You are so right!! This is great advice and what I've been telling high schoolars and young adults for the past 3 years!!! I'm so happy to see someone else say the exact thing 🙌
Yep, that's my plan. I do aspire to be an engineer (don't know what sector yet), hoping that once the pandemic is over that there's one nearby that I can go to.
One thing you didn’t mention was going to junior/community colleges. Although most people want the “college experience”, going to a community college and getting my basics out of the way saved me tens of thousands of dollars.
Only problem with that these days is that most schools in my area have the stipulation "For first-time freshman only" on their scholarships, including the large scholarship every high-scholar gets once they graduate. Going to a community college might be cheaper, but then you cant get the $15-30k of scholarships you could get from the big university, you just have to pay them for all your general classes as well.
@@MineHero367 I'm not 100% sure of your situation but in my case it's still cheaper to go to community college first than to get the "big" scholarship from a university. I can get my general classes out of the way. As even though you would get 15-30k it would only cover around 1-1.5 years of tuition before I would have to pay for the last few classes and remaining year by myself. Which would set me back around 13-17k.
I was planning on going to college for culinary. But unfortunately, my financial advisor in my school favored other students, I was too busy with online school to apply for most scholarships, and the best part? What I got, barely covered the tuition of the first semester of COMMUNITY COLLEGE
@Hand Grabbing Fruits Well, I remember that Terraforming Venus video, but I don't remember the 360 degrees VR video (maybe because I didn't watch it, because I remember seeing a thumbnail of it.)
I'm a senior in high school this year, and I plan on going to a local uni in the fall next year. Not because it's better than other schools I'd like to attend, but just because it's cheaper. I want to study mechanical engineering, which thankfully, they have a pretty decent engineering program. Despite all the stress, I'm very excited.
Not really. If you all decide to go and take the easiest major you can get, and get average grades. Dont be shocked that a cushy desk job isnt handed to you out the door.
When I graduated from college in 2008 I thought I could easily get a better paying job. 🎓 Unfortunately that did not happen. It turns out that big companies want you to have experience as an unpaid intern before they consider hiring you. I should've done that during my college years.
@@WillmobilePlus Well ok, but what about when you get a BSc and an MSc in a STEM degree and still can’t get anything? That seems bizarre to me. The whole degree system is just fucked, no matter what degree you choose, it ends in pain. Choose your poison.
@@killertigergaming6762 It isn't though? Just my observation? I mean you are clearly unhappy with someone being "paid to do nothing" (not that I agree with that statement) but why? It most likely makes that person's life better. How does it makes yours worse for you to get your panties twisted about it?
I knew someone who went to ITT, it never payed off. The only thing that got him better jobs down the road was experience over the years. I went to a community college, walked away with Zero dept to them, and got same or better jobs than he did to start, and I didn't even fully graduate. He now sometimes makes more than I do, but on short contract style jobs. I think overall in the long run I've made much more.
@@shadowling77777 very much so. i drove by it once as sheriff was there raiding their records. they had less equipment to train on then my community college, but cost like 3x as much for a non credited degree
@@justingonzales435 just do research on the job you want and how necessary the degree is as well as other ways to learn it and get experience in it. At least take a look at community college since its way cheaper.
i do feel like educating children is way too easy to abuse, since children don't know any laws, or even how the economy, or the world, works. in fact, elementry school and kindergarden don't teach you enough laws, or economics. becose if students know what laws the schools have to follow, or how they get their money, or who runs schools and why, what's their goals, then students know when the school is breaking theose laws, and know how to game the system, and how to suck the most money from em. i remember how my second school told me they were broke or low on funds. but thats what every school says! or how my elementry school workshop had no noise canceling headgear... i remember reading if inhaling the wood i was sawing was harmful, and apparantly they have laws for wearing masks in usa, but not in eu. if i knew that i could tell the school to fgimme noisecanceling headgear or masks to protect lungs, then thats more money coming from the schools pocket... so thats why they teach everything but payng taxes, economics or other important stuff, instead just history, biology, chemistry and math
I know someone who did this during an argument I had with them regarding work and school. They mentioned college, and spoke as if I was certain about going to college, and when I corrected them about how I’m not even sure if college is truly worth it, they seemed dumbfounded, as if I just stated some radical political ideology or something like that. Then went on about how they want to go to college so they “aren’t poor in the future” and to give themselves “more opportunities”. Yea sure, more opportunities to pay off debt these colleges will more likely give ya.
@@KnightInAChest This person probably went to College to learn a STEM field. It's pretty legit for him from his own narrow point of view to claim it's necessary... It is for STEM. For everything else, not so much
@@yoavmor9002 oh no, they aren’t in college yet. Neither of us two are, as we’re still 16. It’s just college appeared in the conversation cause, as I said, I mentioned how I said that I’m probably not going into college for several reasons that made them dumbfounded. Why they speak so highly of college is beyond me.
@@KnightInAChest They probably want to work in a field that is, as I said, a part of STEM, or in general is very dependent on complicated sciences. As it just so happens I'm also 16, and I actually started University already (though my parents are bankrolling me, and even a 4 year degree where I live is far cheaper than "$37k"), and I'm doing Engineering. I can't imagine how someone could be an Engineer, which is of course a good profession, and not have a degree in either Math, Physics, Computer Sciences, or... Engineering. You know what, for $37k, it might actually not be worth it. At least not a 4 year degree when a 3 or 2 year degree in STEM would be just fine
@@yoavmor9002 16 here too, wanting to pursue mechanical engineering but still conflicted about the college debts and other variables. Is college worth it or should i go community college? I observed that when options are the subject, some people comment about trade school or stock market trading. What are your thoughts guys?
I don't think the end solution is just making sure people understand the scholarship program better, as that is still huge amounts of debt, stress and some people still won't be able to afford it.
@@yo_tengo_una_boca6764 lmao I can tell by your name you don’t understand that less people would go to college and eventually they’d be forced to lower the price for maximum profit and maximum class size
"Your School is Lying to You!" *Yeah, well, what else is new...?* For real though: thanks for the video, Life Noggin. Dunno what I'd be doing with what little time I had to spare in my classes without your videos. With everything that's going on in the world that makes it seem as if the entire planet is ablaze, your return gives me a bit of hope. Makes it a little less painful, the conflicts a bit further between, and the light at the end of this several year-long tunnel not so far away. Thank you. *I'll never forget this.*
Meanwhile, my dad “disproves” all these claims with “It’s needed in order to make a profit. Competition keeps the prices as low as possible. Also inflation.” because of course he knows more than the people who’s job it is is to look into this stuff. Especially since capitalism can do absolutely no wrong
Tell your dad that somebody with a degree in economics says to do research on price fixing and cartels. Competition does not automatically make prices as low as they can possibly be. As a matter of fact, firms are very good at soaking up every single penny that you are willing to spend. 2nd degree price discrimination explains this entire concept in depth.
Im going to college this monday, im not really that hype to go, but hey, i will give my best. Im studying business administration in dominican republic. I love you videos dude, keep grinding
Colleges in Philippines are making us do second thoughts because if you're not rich then there's no guarantee of bright future. im a freshman btw and I'm starting to contemplate my decisions.
like, me who failed to get into public school because of my Physical Grade is too low for there standard, I was like wtf?? do i join military or something, do i need a high P.E grade to get into Computer Science course.
Look into the trades. Electricians, plumbers, Craftsman often make just as much if not more with substantially less debt. Also many IT professions can be pursued without a college degree as long as you're willing to study for and pass certification exams
I mean yeah but trade work is also focused alot more on manual labor rather than intellectual labor. if you like doing that, then by all means, go for it; but if you want to be more STEM oriented and focused on intellectual tasks rather than physical tasks, it's gonna end badly for you. your second point is definitely something I agree with though.
Yup, I've worked in IT for over 15 years and no one cares about degrees, it's all about experience and certs. Get a windows desktop cert, start in service desk, no college needed period. Us higher level engineers make 6 figures.
I'm just going to do game design in college for a year since it's free and I want to mainly learn about the programming language, then go for a internship for work experience :)
It's actually really great for students to learn about that before deciding to go to college because many people end up paying 50k dollars and not even getting a job, and it can take decades to pay back the debt, so thanks for informing people about that
When I graduated high school I never wanted to go to school again mainly because nothing I learned (let’s say 90%) has helped me in my day to day life. I have learned a lot outside of it cause anywhere can reward people for being creative, expressing their ideas, collaborating with others, and just being different from the crowd. This system needs to change BAD
Bruh, most of the stuff that you learn from math is useless. You're only gonna be using basic addition, multiplication, subtraction and division. Algebra, working with letters and stuff like that are just additional useless information.
I've been studying at my local community college with a STEM based dual enrollment program at my high school. It was hard working at an accelerated pace in all the classes, but I haven't had to pay and I've even been sent more than enough money for my books each semester. I've been able to save 1.8K over the years here and there since I didn't have time for a job. Hopefully it will cover some of my book expenses when I go to university full time next semester. Fortunately, my family is moving this summer back to our home in Puerto Rico. It's not economically doing all that great with all of the inflation. However, it's university prices are very reasonable, only $4,208 a year for in state tuition. This is without financial aid. If I were to get good grades during my first year, they often offer really good scholarships to you after that too. I just need to make sure to brush up on my Spanish since Puerto Rico teaches courses in both Spanish and English. I can read, write, and speak in Spanish. It's more about boosting my vocabulary. Man I need to find good books to read in Spanish. I goal is to get my bachelor's in Natural Sciences, then pass the MCAT and get into medical school. I want to go into medicine and research. Likely as a physician-scientist. Innovation is absolutely key after all.
Maybe, or maybe not. Or prehaps the US needs to stop doing both at the same time and just choose a system. A mixed apporach is clearly not getting anyone anywhere.
@@Rafelandroid2 Well, if you believe healthcare is a right, virtually everything becomes a right because everything can be related to health in one way or another. Food, water, housing, education, gyms, pools, clothing, power, cars, buses, beds, child care, and it becomes an endless list of rights from what I can see
@@dallascopp4798 No, healthcare is separate from personal lifestyle choices. Everyone should have the privilege to get treated in any medical facility through taxes. Which makes it not free but instead everyone pitches into a system we all end up using. However no one gets the privilege of free anything.
Holy crap I haven’t watched this channel in so long and I forgot it existed. When I saw you in one of Illy’s vids I immediately looked ur channel up and watched some of ur videos for the rest of the night :)
I dropped out halfway through my second semester of my first year. The stress of doing something sustainable but not enjoyable wasnt worth what i paid. I was lucky enough to have a teacher pay off my debt after dropping out, because i had let the school know i was just coming out of hospitalization and into college. A couple of months later, ive started on a new route to do something i enjoy and am so excited to start. If your trying to go into college, pick something you genuinely enjoy the first time, and if youve already applied or started higher education, its never too late to change your degree.
Im currently going to LSUA in Louisiana studying law and since I got here there have been nothing but hidden expenses and its getting hard to stay since im mostly here on my mothers disability and my family is broke but im going to change this school I got the student population on my side and we are pushing against the school to make it more affordable
Over in New Zealand, it’s mostly easier…except that the school doesn’t let you know if you’re accepted until only 1 MONTH before the start of the semester! Especially if you’re planning to move to another area, that’s frustrating!
One month? I didn't know whether I was accepted to my college until a two weeks before orientation. I had to quit my job on the spot just to make it to class without passing out from exhaustion.
i am planning on going to college, and i’d be excited but i’m nervous about the costs and being accepted. i just wish that things in the US weren’t treated like businesses, including education and medicine :(
I'm from Portugal. I applied for the universities of Aveiro and Coimbra, the last being one of the longest running in europe, since 1290! I'm applying for Biomedical Sciences or Physiotherapy. Really excited to start!
I think that the biggest lie that schools are telling us is that we all have to go to college after high school. It’s just a natural assumption during your senior year that you will go to college and for many people, it seems like the only option. Instead of going to college, I just went to a local trade school and learned web development. After a couple weeks of job hunting, I got a job as a junior developer. It didn’t pay much, but it was enough for me to move out of my parents house and rent an apartment. Also, it gave me valuable experience. When I got my next job, I beat out 5 other people who were CS graduates fresh out of college because I had more experience than them. I now earn 90k a year and I am completely debt free. My advice is to only go to college if you want to pursue a career where a college degree is absolutely necessary. Otherwise you’re shooting yourself in the foot by wasting 4+ years of your life and getting yourself into thousands of dollars of debt.
@@tahmurashotami8464 I'm in it rn, taking electrical. Instead of getting a 4 year degree, you could get a 2 year degree and get into the field right as you graduate in jobs like electricians, plumbers, and HVAC. Dental Hygienist, Radiation Therapists, and diagnostic medical sonographer. There are several others too but those are some of the main ones. You have to be willing to work hard physically though if you want get good work in these fields though. Not all of the jobs are going to be rough though. Overall the trades are in pretty high demand rn, and It pays well, just do research on it and check out how your state treats the field you're looking to go into. Cheers.
"Your school is lying to you" Me:- Teach me how to pay taxes and get money? Teachers:- Mitochondira is the powerhouse of the cell. Me: HOW DO I GET A JOB?! Teachers:- Find "X".
Don't blame the teacher though. If we don't teach you what the school wants us to teach you, we get fired or criticized for not being good teachers. Most of the time we are just as bored teaching you the same old stuff as you are learning it. At least for me, I try my best to incorporate a practical application into the lessons I'm required to teach so that any student, no matter what career they plan on going into, can get something useful out of it.
Yes u am, I'm going into entomology and I'm actually looking at different colleges both in and out of state currently. Its really hard to navigate right now especially and its really hard to find people in my chosen field to talk bout it with which is quite annoying.
@@abdulgill5013 my prize is out of reach, someone would literally need to pay for everything for me for like, years before I could maybe get my own source of money
in the case of my college it's definitely the college's end of not responding to any financial questions. the college subreddit is literally more responsive and helpful than the administration.
In my country the college is free but you must have really good grades, I am currently 15 years old and went several times back to school in the last 3 summers because I had F's in many of the subjects including Maths, Estonian, and Russian. But here I am living a free life listening to 90s songs and I even own a nice 90s car (cost 3500€) I don't even have my car license yet but if I get one, ill be one happy Estonian.
As someone who has always wanted to be a game designer, I plan on going to college, and though I am excited, the cost makes me nervous. I also might try to get a degree in cooking and/or composing.
Woah, thank you for posting this vid Blocko. Im in high school and hadn't made the decision of going to college yet. This video made me know about the scummy thing that colleges do... and because of that, I'm unsure if I want to go to college... Also, I and other viewers of yours missed you too (:

This is actually scary, with tuition prices skyrocketing, you might be eligible to apply for larger loans. However if you decide to drop out of college last minute you can be in a lifetime amount of debt and more
Joining the Navy right after high school was probably the best decision I have ever made. Did 4 years, got out and now my college is covered from associates all the way to law school. Illinois veteran grant and post 9/11 gi bill.

Thank you for this video! Another thing I would add: Don't feel pressured to jump into college immediately after High School. Feel free to take a leap year to gain work experience and accumulate money so you can enjoy the college experience with less stress due to finances.
These reasons and more are why non profit remote colleges like WGU exist. Low cost, materials provided, all course can be tested out of, and lots of student support.
Get a part time job and once your 18 start researching about investing into stocks and don't buy things which you don't want. Although you can spend abit of money for yourself like as a gift.
Make sure to get a tour of the campus and connect with current students to see what their thoughts are. Definitely don't fret about what your major will be since everyone takes gen eds freshman year. Most importantly enjoy your last few years of high school :)
If you're thinking of going for any degree that isn't in a STEM, medical, or law field then just don't go. You'll end up with a worthless degree that you just paid 10s of thousands for. Make sure the degree you want is actually worth paying that huge amount for.
The fact that no one has any skills coming out of high school, is the reason college gets away with this crap. An 18 year old shouldn't have to go to 2-6 more years before they poses the basic skills to be hired.

Sometimes, experience still can get you a job, but a lot of times I was turned away since I didn't have a degree to my name. Also wanted to go into the field of medicine but again, that's too expensive.
One thing I really wish school taught me was how to manage my finances though, because I can easily see how people can drown in debt well before they're graduated. Especially when you're fresh out of high school, it's way too easy to ruin your credit, which is pretty much needed for a lot of things

That opening is why people what are opposed to student loans and abolishing student loan debt have been saying for years.
When schools can charge whatever they want they’ll charge more and more.
I say: Abolish student loans. Stop letting colleges trick students into sinking themselves into eternal debt for a social sciences degree.
This is the two example of why you need federal regulation toward the college industry. Free market ain't going to fix it unless they a way to easily and cheaper way to get those degree
@@Watch-0w1 it is precisely because of government intervention that the college loan situation can't fix itself until it stops.
@@Watch-0w1 ... wait. Someone on UA-cam not going absolutely mental at even an indirect opposition to their statement? I'm impressed. +1.
Anyway, yes. I fully support the online competitors to colleges which make their money by selling skills rather than a worthless piece of paper.
I think that people who want to go to college should, but free online courses should be avaliable. For example, I have learnt abstract algebra from an online textbook, even though I shouldn't have learnt it yet. And those free online courses should exist for every level: Undergraduate, graduate, PhD etc. Those courses should also issue a diploma after a final test, and businesses should not discriminate between people who have a diploma from an online course or people who have a diploma from college. That is the solution.

My parents insisted on my getting a "useful" degree (rather than what interested me), which was a LOT more expensive for them and still resulted in a useless bachelor's when I couldn't make it through the internship. Only about half of people who start a postsecondary degree complete it, and only about half of those that complete a degree get a job requiring it. So study what you feel passionate about, even if it means your parents drop you like a hot potato. It's your life, not theirs.

Idk if y’all see the comments after 5 days but I’m currently in college as a freshman getting my business administration degree. though, through my experience so far, I’d say college is wacky. There’s so many ways to make money nowadays, it outshines what u can do with a degree. It’s just luck and hard work.
it's also planning, to some degree
It hard work (discipline and working as much as you mentally can), smart work (planning and being efficient) and luck (which is something that is out of our control so we shouldn't put too much pressure into it but always be aware of it) .....
Weird that it has been exactly 5 days since u posted this comment as I reply
There are many ways to make money these days. Unfortunately working class or impoverished citizens are left out by these insane college costs
And parents and adults in a high schoolers life pressure them to go to college so much only for them to be scammed out of hundreds of thousands of dollars from unsuspecting vulnerable kids and able to get away with it 🙄

I don't want to go to college but the field I want to be in requires a degree.
As a graduate, I've got one piece of advice to anyone looking to get a degree (in a field where it's not actually required):
Don't.
4 years of experience in the field is 10x more valuable than almost any bachelor's degree. Not only that, but instead of charging you for the privilege of learning, you are paid, and actually contribute to society.
Your life is not over if you don't go to college, no matter what the corrupt school systems try and tell you. And if you're willing to learn how to work with your hands, electricians and plumbers can make hundreds of thousands a year - no calculus required. No predatory loans or indoctrination needed. Just actually working and doing something for the world.
Obviously, certain jobs (particularly doctors) have extremely stringent requirements (most of which are for good reason), so I'm not talking about those.
ok... I agree with you some jobs need Professionalism like Med but not all jobs need Degree
Thanks, I'll remember that
Yeah, i am from a less developed country than the us. I'm jealous that Americans can make a lot of money without needing bachelor's degree. in my country if you don't have bachelor's degree you get little salary and it's kinda of hard to make a living (if you're living in an important city)

I’m really glad you covered this. I recently fell where I didn’t want to continue college anymore. I wanted to do other things, real estate and other endeavors. My mom, being a foreign mom, basically threatened for me to go back to college. Yea college isn’t the worst path. But it isn’t the best either. I’m going to college and don’t even know what I want to study, just doing general studies. I want to do something bigger than me, and college isn’t part of that plan.
Please don’t do it, you can do better, just get a retail job or something, don’t put yourself through college. College is the worst path, it’s a load of shite.
connecshone i am yes
I did one semester in community college, then quit. I went to a trade school that does job placement upon graduation, and it literally changed my life. No prospective employer cares as much about anything as they do about *_experience._* If you're broke and fresh out of college, you have no real world experience. If your school gets your foot in the door somewhere, that first job *_is_* your experience for your next higher-paying job, and when you start working, you'll be under a much smaller cloud of debt. You might be surprised, there's some kind of trade school for almost anything you might be interested in. If the top-tier roles in your preferred industry require a traditional college degree, go to a trade school to get hired by an employer that will pay for your college education.
Thanks for the advice!
i go to vocational college, which more focused on experience and skill
U are very smart
You are so right!! This is great advice and what I've been telling high schoolars and young adults for the past 3 years!!! I'm so happy to see someone else say the exact thing 🙌
Yep, that's my plan. I do aspire to be an engineer (don't know what sector yet), hoping that once the pandemic is over that there's one nearby that I can go to.
One thing you didn’t mention was going to junior/community colleges. Although most people want the “college experience”, going to a community college and getting my basics out of the way saved me tens of thousands of dollars.
Only problem with that these days is that most schools in my area have the stipulation "For first-time freshman only" on their scholarships, including the large scholarship every high-scholar gets once they graduate. Going to a community college might be cheaper, but then you cant get the $15-30k of scholarships you could get from the big university, you just have to pay them for all your general classes as well.
@@MineHero367 I'm not 100% sure of your situation but in my case it's still cheaper to go to community college first than to get the "big" scholarship from a university. I can get my general classes out of the way. As even though you would get 15-30k it would only cover around 1-1.5 years of tuition before I would have to pay for the last few classes and remaining year by myself. Which would set me back around 13-17k.
I'm probably gonna do trade school.

Im currently going to LSUA in Louisiana studying law and since I got here there have been nothing but hidden expenses and its getting hard to stay since im mostly here on my mothers disability and my family is broke but im going to change this school I got the student population on my side and we are pushing against the school to make it more affordable
Over in New Zealand, it’s mostly easier…except that the school doesn’t let you know if you’re accepted until only 1 MONTH before the start of the semester! Especially if you’re planning to move to another area, that’s frustrating!
One month? I didn't know whether I was accepted to my college until a two weeks before orientation. I had to quit my job on the spot just to make it to class without passing out from exhaustion.
Yeah a month is plenty. 2 weeks here
Here it’s about a week in Covid…
i am planning on going to college, and i’d be excited but i’m nervous about the costs and being accepted. i just wish that things in the US weren’t treated like businesses, including education and medicine :(
Mr. Blocko, you are GREAT!
I'm from Portugal. I applied for the universities of Aveiro and Coimbra, the last being one of the longest running in europe, since 1290!
I'm applying for Biomedical Sciences or Physiotherapy. Really excited to start!
I think that the biggest lie that schools are telling us is that we all have to go to college after high school. It’s just a natural assumption during your senior year that you will go to college and for many people, it seems like the only option. Instead of going to college, I just went to a local trade school and learned web development. After a couple weeks of job hunting, I got a job as a junior developer. It didn’t pay much, but it was enough for me to move out of my parents house and rent an apartment. Also, it gave me valuable experience. When I got my next job, I beat out 5 other people who were CS graduates fresh out of college because I had more experience than them. I now earn 90k a year and I am completely debt free. My advice is to only go to college if you want to pursue a career where a college degree is absolutely necessary. Otherwise you’re shooting yourself in the foot by wasting 4+ years of your life and getting yourself into thousands of dollars of debt.
Can you tell me what trade school is because ive seen many talk about it.
@@tahmurashotami8464 I'm in it rn, taking electrical.
Instead of getting a 4 year degree, you could get a 2 year degree and get into the field right as you graduate in jobs like electricians, plumbers, and HVAC. Dental Hygienist, Radiation Therapists, and diagnostic medical sonographer. There are several others too but those are some of the main ones. You have to be willing to work hard physically though if you want get good work in these fields though. Not all of the jobs are going to be rough though.
Overall the trades are in pretty high demand rn, and It pays well, just do research on it and check out how your state treats the field you're looking to go into.
Cheers.
@@ComboMon- ok thx i thought trade school was some sort of stock trading school
@@tahmurashotami8464 nope!
"Your school is lying to you"
Me:- Teach me how to pay taxes and get money?
Teachers:- Mitochondira is the powerhouse of the cell.
Me: HOW DO I GET A JOB?!
Teachers:- Find "X".
School is literally useless if they say they prepare us for the future but don't teach us how to pay taxes, buy a house or get a job.
Don't blame the teacher though. If we don't teach you what the school wants us to teach you, we get fired or criticized for not being good teachers. Most of the time we are just as bored teaching you the same old stuff as you are learning it. At least for me, I try my best to incorporate a practical application into the lessons I'm required to teach so that any student, no matter what career they plan on going into, can get something useful out of it.
Those questions might only help a bioengineering major
@@peachkey2 well if you finish teaching a little early, why not make small financial lessons or something like that for the meantime anyway?
@@peachkey2 your just saying that so the school wont fired you
Yes u am, I'm going into entomology and I'm actually looking at different colleges both in and out of state currently. Its really hard to navigate right now especially and its really hard to find people in my chosen field to talk bout it with which is quite annoying.
I like that you provided us with ✨KNOWLEDGE✨
I’m not going to college, whether I do or don’t I’m still gonna end up homeless and jobless
Don’t give up, keep your eyes on the prize
@@abdulgill5013 my prize is out of reach, someone would literally need to pay for everything for me for like, years before I could maybe get my own source of money
@@ckinggaming5bucketmadness766 what prize is it?
@@mayabartolabac money
sad world
in the case of my college it's definitely the college's end of not responding to any financial questions. the college subreddit is literally more responsive and helpful than the administration.
In my country the college is free but you must have really good grades, I am currently 15 years old and went several times back to school in the last 3 summers because I had F's in many of the subjects including Maths, Estonian, and Russian. But here I am living a free life listening to 90s songs and I even own a nice 90s car (cost 3500€) I don't even have my car license yet but if I get one, ill be one happy Estonian.
What im trying to say, Grades don't mean anything, your decisions do.
I’m happy to be back watching you
As someone who has always wanted to be a game designer, I plan on going to college, and though I am excited, the cost makes me nervous.
I also might try to get a degree in cooking and/or composing.
Life Noggin: Your school is lying to you!
Me: I am 4 Parallel Universes ahead of you.
Woah, thank you for posting this vid Blocko. Im in high school and hadn't made the decision of going to college yet. This video made me know about the scummy thing that colleges do... and because of that, I'm unsure if I want to go to college...
Also, I and other viewers of yours missed you too (:
If you don't go you're missing out on the best years of your life. Just go abroad where things are hundreds of times cheaper :) european life ain't that bad
@@4_real_bruh I mean, I'm still undecided... I might do it. Even if it kills me... and what did you say about european life? I'd like to know
@@firstlast8816 european life is pretty cool, studying abroad is also quite an experience. It's cool to be in control of your own life, do what you want when you want it and it's just lovely as a whole.
I study Computer Science in Germany, am originally from Israel :)
@@4_real_bruh i am a junior advice please
I'm currently a senior in high school and plan to go to a community college for Auto Body Technology, and already did a school visit for my current high school and loved it! My brother already had some FAFSA help and my mom is helping me do that again. She and I do plan on going to a private college visit there, so she can get a idea on how it is.
“Your school is lying to you!”
About? Ethics, politics, critical thinking, history?
Watch the video dumbass
It’s about the debt stupid
@@HoodiniOFallamhain How is a school lying to me about debt
@@oddgorl23 dude the college debt didn’t you watch small brain
@@TheOfficalBiggestBird It’s a joke.
This is actually scary, with tuition prices skyrocketing, you might be eligible to apply for larger loans. However if you decide to drop out of college last minute you can be in a lifetime amount of debt and more
And it's a risk that kids (essentially) are given the choice to take 😨
Ikr it's hard and risky to even try to decide which option to choose
@@LillyLemonzzz14 OH MY GOD WHAT A CUTE PFP! IT REMINDS ME OF MURAKAMI FLOWERS
@@ARCHIVED9610 Why thank u, ur pfp also looks nice :}
@@ARCHIVED9610 I do not call this cute
But it's your opinion
Joining the Navy right after high school was probably the best decision I have ever made. Did 4 years, got out and now my college is covered from associates all the way to law school. Illinois veteran grant and post 9/11 gi bill.
Same here after US Army! Graduated with zero debt ! It was Gucci getting 3000.00 per month while never paying Tution was Gucci
That’s what I would have done, as I was interested in the Air Force, but I got bad eyes
@@kulahog6495 Plenty of mfkers in the Navy and Coast Guard wear glasses. Only thing you cannot wear are contacts. They also do a corrective surgery while you in for free
Thank you for this video! Another thing I would add: Don't feel pressured to jump into college immediately after High School. Feel free to take a leap year to gain work experience and accumulate money so you can enjoy the college experience with less stress due to finances.
Been 2 years since ive watched life noggin and now im back
These reasons and more are why non profit remote colleges like WGU exist. Low cost, materials provided, all course can be tested out of, and lots of student support.
I'm a High school junior. The thought of college terrifies me! Any advice would help me a lot :)
Get a part time job and once your 18 start researching about investing into stocks and don't buy things which you don't want. Although you can spend abit of money for yourself like as a gift.
Also don't think about college currently and focus on highschool mainly
Make sure to get a tour of the campus and connect with current students to see what their thoughts are. Definitely don't fret about what your major will be since everyone takes gen eds freshman year. Most importantly enjoy your last few years of high school :)
If you're thinking of going for any degree that isn't in a STEM, medical, or law field then just don't go. You'll end up with a worthless degree that you just paid 10s of thousands for. Make sure the degree you want is actually worth paying that huge amount for.
yay you made a new video :D i missed your videos so much and this video is very correct
The fact that no one has any skills coming out of high school, is the reason college gets away with this crap. An 18 year old shouldn't have to go to 2-6 more years before they poses the basic skills to be hired.
