    this video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napolean Hill pitch.

      Society can collapse either way some people work at jobs but the economy can still not be in good shape I really think there should be a change in the job system. I think some people would probably take more jobs that require no experience that offer health care and benefits the job is remote where you don’t deal with many people it’s not all positive dealing with many people it’s why jobs end up toxic or the person picks up the work from the company and just finish it where ever they stay at. The company could also send the work to where you live but we can only hope more new better jobs arrive these are some reasons but there are many others. If many 9-5 jobs can be enjoyable it would be like watching a movie I think many of us don’t like the 9 to 5 grind.

      Well many physical therapists, doctors, and plumbers are small businesses rather than employees so I think they are not exactly 9-5. Nurses work 12 hour shifts and honestly I do think nurses might be getting scammed considering the crap they put up with compared to what they are paid. Not to say there aren't good examples of 9-5 jobs. I'm a software engineer and that's a 9-5 job and good luck getting your online courses published onto the internet if all the software people device to become forex traders instead.

      Sometimes they can be rubbish but sometimes they are perfect. It’s not that zero hours contracts are scams but how they are used. At my place there’s a few people who literally want to work maybe 6-20 hours a week who insist on zero hours contracts because some months they don’t want to work. Being forced onto one is wrong but I’m these cases they actually kicked up a fuss to be on zero hours so they could make sure they don’t have to work during school holidays so they can take care of their kids. I totally agree they are more often than not used in a scammy way but I think we’ve got to the point where we are told something is a scam and but it’s actually more how the companies are using it that makes it a scam or not

    Nice to see someone counter hot air with actual data. I'm someone who went back into education later in life and then eclipsed most of those that came before me, and wow is it nice to see someone who actually understands that connecting to acadmeia is a positive. Really, it's a chance to connect with like minded individuals, people who love it just like you do. When someone says those who have spent their life on this stuff are wrong, or suckers, it's almost certainly because they want to galvanise your biases or fears and get you to follow them instead. Be careful, it leads nowhere: Trust science. Follow your passion. Get educated.

    The best advise I ever got on college was from my community college’s academic/career advisor: “figure out where you want to be, figure out the steps it takes to get there, then follow those steps and not get distracted with other things.” So if you’re goal involves trade school, then do that instead of an Ivy League. If it is about experience only, then intern or apprentice instead of college. But if you want a career that normally requires a certain level of college, then do that amount of college. Generally not PhD.

      Cool but, I doubt anyone has ever decided between an Ivy league school and trade school. Usually you decide between university and trade school and if you do decide to go to university and end up doing well enough to get a scholarship to an Ivy league school, then you do that. Otherwise you end up at whatever university is nearby that you can afford to attend. If you can afford an Ivy League education and are paired for it (through lifelong tutoring) then your parents damn sure aren't going to let you throw away their investment in you by letting you go to trade school.

      I was a young kid and my town got WRECKED in the financial crisis back in 2008. I wanted to be one of the guys that looks into corporate fraud. My family didn't have the money to afford school so I joined the army. Did my hitch, and meanwhile planned the next steps. So, I needed an accounting or finance degree, then experience as an auditor so started interning there. Still in the auditor phase and it's so far a good gig. I work 9-5 being a fact-checker on other people's financial data. Good experience and still chasing that dream. No regrets.

      People think they collect their social/ecocnomic benefits because of learning and knowledge. Or in worst case because of connections.
      But recent(and not so) studies came to different conclusion.
      Almost all benefits come with degree. Higher education is not wealth generation mechanism, it's wealth redustribution through so called signalling. Degree is signal that distribute wealth on highly competitive labor market. It doesn't matter if you fake degree, or get it by learning hard, you get all benefits by stealing wealth from people without degree.
      Why we see slower economy growth and salaries stagnation while there is more higher educated people than ever? Because they don't produce welath.
      Thats how it works.

      @@Acid31337 the problem with what you're saying is that the economy (as measured by the stock market) and national GDP has been rising, so that's already a correction to what you stated. Also very important is that due to tax structure, trade policies that disregard local labor in favor of multinational corporate benefits and the resulting weakening of labor's power to negotiate, wealth has stagnated by concentrating at the top. The wealth transfer you speak of, doesn't really exist. What you're implying is that a burger flipper at some fast food franchise outlet should be making as much as a factory worker in Detroit should be making. Or that a person who dropped out of high school as much as an electrical engineer, clearly improbable. No, the market pays what you're worth and the differentiator of that is your degree.

      The major isn't even an issue. I majored in business and they taught me NOTHING about business. I dropped out because I literally wasn't learning anything.
      I taught myself more in 1 week watching youtube and reading forums than I learned a year and a half in college.

    Potentially successful people drop out of college because they have specific leverage and they already have something going.
    They're not successful BECAUSE they dropped out, they're successful because they're smart. But these guys make it seem like dropping out is what makes you successful, which is the most boring & dangerous correlation =/= causation situation. Don't drop out just because you're lazy, it's a dumb move.

      Let me correct that statement for you:
      People with a college degree do economically better than college dropouts ON AVERAGE
      This whole discussion is based upon semantics and wrong statistics, black dude was really wrong with some of his statements, but this guy coffezilla wasn't totally right either, he showing selectively manipulated statistics trying to debunk the other guy.
      The reality is that a college degree is just a license, it doesn't necessarily teach you something that makes you money.

      well dont confuse education with. college/degrees.... thats the error everyone is doing.... I am educated but dont finished my uni ! I dropped out cuzI relized that I wasted 500$ tuition per month and the time... rather I started freelancing and learning more thinks I really want.... I started trading later on and now I am about to found my first company .... so education != college/degree
