  • “WORST THINGS I HAVE EVER BOUGHT!” I had quite a number of you telling me that Patricia Bright did a video on this, and could I do my own version. Patricia’s version was so funny, but I also really liked the more serious message that ran through, to do with us all being a bit more “aware” and thoughtful in our purchases! I recommend you watch Patricia’s video if you haven’t already seen it as it’s brilliant: • THE WORST THINGS I EVE...
    So here are some of my worst purchases, and some of my best!! These include cars from BMW, Porsche and also my Degree, Tag Heuer watch, Louis Vuitton ‘Neverful’ and more!

      FCN_ Art, my husband didn’t go to college and I have two B.A.’s and an M.A., he creates opportunity through sheer force of will. He’s super smart but not obedient enough for a typical degree. I think it depends a lot on the individual what type of education is a good idea and if you are going to opt out you need to be willing and able to reinvent yourself, to huddle, and to have some serious networking and social skills. I think the big thing is to always move forward and not get stuck at entry level.

      I think education is necessary for certain fields but a lot of the time it is a scam, my husband was a history major wanting to be a professor but when he found out how difficult it can be to find a job in that field along with how little pay you receive for 6 years worth of school/debt he decided to drop out. He now does management work for construction companies and makes at least double what he would have made if he'd stayed in school.

    • @MissAlikescakes
      @MissAlikescakes 5 років тому +1

      @FCN_ Art probably in your country. In my country, Portugal, everyone needs to have college. If you have only high school or less you curriculum is weak. There is many people here that have less than 9th grade because the school system was different before the 90's, they don't find job because you can see that at time the focus was get out of school and get a job, so today they don't speak and wrote well. Also it was really expensive study after the 6the grade at that time, so everyone now needs to have one college coarse.
      There is place where we can try find job and they offer the option to that people come back to school and learn more but they don't want, they fell the school system changed too much.

The earlier you get in for the experience is who gets the job. Come to think of it I probably know more well off people my age who dropped out of highschool to get internships and now get payed major money then I do people who work in the degree they paid 50k for

The interim has been hard but as of this week actually we are finally debt free (no more student loans, car payments, or credit cards). I never would have believed we’d make it out the other side. Make a plan and know cutting back isn’t forever. The reality is I’ll never be able to afford the things Sophie can, and the truth is that’s ok, because I’m not exactly where I want to be.

      Uni is good if you go for something like STEM, business, education, or the medical fields. You could then get a minor in something like English, or Gender studies; or get a double major in teaching and English to be a teacher. It's just not good to go into 70K of student debt for a degree that will not get you a good paying job unless you double major in something that will get you a good job. I lucked out because my 70k of student debt is going toward a STEM degree in a viable field and a Spanish degree as well, but I have a friend who did only English with a film emphasis, got into student debt, and he is pushing carts for $10.00 an hour. It's awful.

    It was really simple. I wanted a house with a mortgage that I could pay off with ease. I didn't want to stay up at night with a huge 3 bed house in a fancy area, worrying about losing a job, going off sick etc.
    My location was a sacrifice but a huge gain in terms of finance. My brother is 4 years older than me and isn't close to buying his home because its in a super expensive area. He's in debt with credit cards and he's going on fancy holidays.
    People look at me and wonder how I've done it. I've just been smarter and bought things within my means.

I bought another LV lock and brought both side straps to the front of the bag and locked them together. I can’t tell you how many compliments I get on it.

    I agree of having a degree. I went to nursing school while raising 3 kids. It was difficult and brutal. I have no social life and i was deprived with sleep, but in the end it was all worth. After earning a degree I have a greater Self Satisfaction, and I believe that my job as a nurse is meaningful. On my graduation I got a Porsche Cayenne as a gift from my husband but, nothing can compare the feeling of sense of satisfaction from earning a degree that I work so hard for. Kudos to Sophie for emphasizing about the importance of education.

    Retired uni administrator here and also I ran a state agency of the Guaranteed Student Loan program in the USA many years ago where I was asst director of the agency (we also gave millions annually of state taxpayer money to needy student each year for tuition, payment was sent directly to the institutions)..We testified before the US Congress when it was reauthorizing the Higher Education Act that increasing the maximum guaranteed student loan would only lead to rampant tuition inflation nationally. This was in the late 70s!! I was a fresh PhD . They ignored us and raised the ceiling and lo and behold tuition rose at a rate well above the rate of inflation and continued to so do so right up to today. What students and the public don't realize is that higher education is a business first and foremost. Professors usually teach for the passion they have for the subject matter, at least at the start of their careers and many maintain that passion throughout. Presidents or chancellors or whoever is at the top of a uni or college has THEIR career first and foremost in their minds. If they increase enrollment (ie sell more "product") or expand the physical footprint through donations , whatever source of capital they themselves benefit. In the USA if they raise the mission from a 2 yr college to 4yr or a 4yr college to regional uni, or a regional uni to a research uni (we call this mission creep and is it is HUGELY costly to taxpayers, students everyone who pays)...well ,that president raiss the salary and prestige of their NEXT job.That is how they grow their OWN careers and salaries and prestige. Dept chars want more equipment, or nicer classrooms, larger office, or a larger travel budget...on and on and on it goes, frittering away money that has ZERO to do with educating students.The taxpayers pay through various subsidies they are totally unaware of, the students pay through debt. It is unconscionable that this is the state of affairs, but there is the truth higher education.It is big business.
    On a personal level for the student some professors add immeasurably to what one does in life, others, not so much. Same with subjects , same with degree programs...some are highly useful, others are totally worthless. It used to be early in my early career that most degrees doubled a persons lifetime earnings, the research showed. Not so today. My best advice is for a student to have some idea WHAT field they are interested in. FInd out if a degree is helpful at ALL or not, eg most entrepreneurs are successful with or without degrees...most are degrees for them are unnecessary, unless it is a highly technical field.,..even then people like Bill Gates and many others have shown that degrees were not necessary for even technical success...for entrepreneurs. If you want to be a physician or lawyer (USA)/barrister well then, you must have the degrees to be licensed to practice, period. No way around that. Today in the USA many trades people like plumbers, electricians etc make more money than graduates with a 4 yr general degree. At least now you know what you were really paying for...sorry, I did MY best to talk reason into my colleagues, but where there is money to be made, well it is hard to be one of few protesting instead of just raking in for oneself whatever one can. The profit motive reigns supreme in most people's hearts.

    Unexpected but loved the poaching pan! I think that the main reason why porridge never kept you full is, if I am not mistaken, you’ve always used either quick cooking or instant oats. If you still like porridge, try getting jumbo oats and cook them on the stove for a while. Add some banana, flaxseed and milk inside (besides the toppings) to keep you full longer. I hate instant oats because not only they don’t taste anywhere near as good, they don’t keep you full even for an hour. I know a lot of people don’t really like to spend a lot of time cooking, but trust me, it makes a huge difference!

Instead of relevant A Level results they accepted me based on my job experience. I had been working as a children's rep for a holiday firm and was applying for the childhood studies degree. I completed my degree (first class honours). I carried on with life, got married, had kids, then aged 30 I went back to uni to complete my PGCE. I'm now a primary school teacher. If you didn't do great at school/college it is worth speaking to uni's to ask if they would accept you based on job/life experience.
