Paper Monado Blink I’m gonna take the opportunity just to slack off and play some video games. Also FINALLY i can get a part time job and earn some moolaaa😎😎
bro good luck trying to pass this to south asian parents. I dropped out of college. my I.T career required self teaching, no employer even asked for my diploma. left that . started a business. enjoying freedom business ownership.. parents now agree with me.

"Schools want to say capitalism sucks. Schools are using the capitalistic system at a whole different place." I applaud you for saying this. Very nice. It's a total double standard.
I'd say schools are implementing communism-enforced capitalism. No free market, you HAVE to buy exactly those books for those courses, AND we'll maximize our profits out of the books we're forcing you to buy. No free choice like in capitalism, no low prices / redistributed wealth like ideal communism. The worst of both worlds, monopoly of the market.
Capitalism shouldn't be in school. All those supplies, books and activities should be funded by the school which got it's funds from the government or some other governmental entity.
@Jason Bourne I didn't even mention communism? I just said there should be government funded programs for children and school which cannot afford school supplies and something similar. That is not communism or socialism, it's a human right.
The US has a compulsory 12 year education that has degraded because too many underperforming 1:53 students stay in it. It would be better for the non academics oriented students to go to trade schools, work or the military.
I dropped out of school shortly after reading his book regarding this subject. It's now been 3 years. I have a fully thriving company with a warehouse, employees, and company trucks. Pat, if you see this comment, thank you so much from the bottom of heart. You've changed my life and the lives of my future generations.
@@favorednohamba9511 i took an online course on how to generate traffic to blogs. Idk what you want to do with your life, but my number one advice to you is find someone who has what you want and either buy their course, or be their mentee. I did both, and luckily it worked out. best of luck to you.
"Who said you need to go to college from 18 to 22?" I am so glad that I didn't enter college right away. I had some money saved up and decided to travel since I didn't yet know what I wanted. In that year of travel, I learned a second language, met amazing new people and landed a job as a translator. I wouldn't have had those experiences had I went straight into university.
S B In my 2nd year of college and feel like I’m getting nowhere. The classes I have to take are useless. One class is internet tools, another is abnormal psychology. These classes have nothing to do with my degree.
I’ve been talking about a gap year with my parents for a few years now and I only have a few months left before I decide to go to college or take a gap year. I know with confidence that I would be happier on a gap year and that I need some time to mature and reflect on life. However, here in Ireland you can’t defer scholarships, so I’d be losing out on €20,000 if I took a gap year. I personally would rather go without the money, but my parents are mostly paying for uni and they want the money so I get called selfish for talking about gap years.
take it from me who has a bachelors in English AND Kinesiology: I wish I dropped out when I was 20 and did my own thing. College isn't needed for 80% of the people going there....
+Elliot Scott Dating english is a useless degree. Kinesiology might work for you. Read, Work. And college is only for professionals now. It is the era of the Long Tail.
If you're not motivated for school but you can get up for entrepreneurship and work your butt off, that might be a sign to look more into entrepreneurship. Don't ignore your energy.
But if you’re not motivated for school you won’t be motivated for entrepreneurship. Being motivated for school is doing the nitty gritty, boring work that is required when starting a business.
@@benjaminsibson8760 Replying to my original comment and yours after a year or so of more experience. I still stand by the original statement, however, you do have a fair point. So here's how I would word it differently: If you're not motivated for school (because you know you're not developing the skills and self-awareness needed for entrepreneurship) but you can get up -for entrepreneurship- (to learn and improve on the side), that might be a sign to look more into entrepreneurship. Don't ignore your energy. (Furthermore, if you're only in it to make money, get out of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is NOT easy. I repeat, NOT easy. You will feel like you're grinding yourself to death at certain times. If you want to just make a lot of money, get into computer science or medical, etc. A profession that can make you a lot of money. I'm telling you right now, since the roadmap to becoming an engineer or doctor is already mapped out and clear, you just have to hit your goals.) Basically, if you're trying to flex: stop. Entrepreneurship is not for you. Get a nice job and learn how to invest in a smart manner (not get rich quick) and you'll have your money. But yes, to your point Benjamin, the title "entrepreneur" or "CEO" has been glorified much like "being a rapper". Much love and hope everyone gets the self-awareness to feel comfortable doing what they think they're the best at! 💯
To add to this, I would say that if you do end up taking the entrepreneurship route, get ready to get out of your comfort zone and do things that make you EXTREMELY uncomfortable. You will face problems that you will find impossible to crack until you actually crack them. You will question yourself and your faith in yourself nearly every day. Like I said, it's not easy.
What you were saying about the peer pressure from parents is totally true. I have been going to schools which are seen as schools for generally wealthier people, and the amount of pressure most parents in these type of schools put on their kids to go to universities or colleges "that have a good name" is insane. The funny thing is most of the pressure is not even about the learning environment or the standard of education that those colleges or universities have, but the parents trying to boast about how intelligent their kids are and how prestigious the schools are that they attend. It's almost like a competition where the parent which has their kids in the best school wins all the respect. It is really sad that most wealthier parents don't even recognize the damage this does to their kids as their kids don't even persuade careers they want, solely because of the parents sense of self-importance. Please reply if you can relate to this, I would really like to know your view about this problem.
Luckily, I did not experience that. I've dropped my Electrical Engineering program before the finals of my first semester because of extremely unmotivated unlike on my High School days before. Now, I would go back to school to study Mechanical Engineering and I preferably to study on an average school WITH quality education. And my parents would let me do that.
After pondering whether to publish or not publish this book, Patrick decided to publish. Order a copy of Drop Out And Get Schooled. www.amazon.com/Drop-Out-Get-Schooled-Thinking/dp/099744102X/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1485958065&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=drop+out+and+get+schooled
Hi, i have a big question. People go to universities, high school etc, because they are principaly afraid of doing no money or not good money without a degree. And they think that to get a good job that gives good money, you need a degree. In this world today, can every drop out or most of them find a good well paying job ( even with promotion and time, a good career without a degree ) ? I'm not talking about entrepreneurship cause it depends if you start from zero or a job or other case. That's why personnally, i continue to going to college to study digital marketing ( And for the 1 year of entrepreneurship what i wanted to make, i think i can succeed maybe without it but i will see). Because i can't see myself have a good job, or good career without a degree and so without good money, even in sales and commission. And if i need some money before starting a compagny. (Here in france, only sales jobs earn good in commission, not real estate agents. And in the top of that, business owners commission like Trivago can do a lot of money but it's for entrepreneurs). And yes, this side of the world is not shared at school because they want your money and school is made by entrepreneurs i agree. AND i want to notice that in France, studies cost for me NOTHING compared to the debt poor US and others countries students have to PAY for. I pay my university only 164 per YEAR. And the only universities that cost a lot are the best. Commerce universities are costing a bit more but compared to US that's actually nothing. I'm from France and asked this question that every day goes to my brain. I wanted to make know you the situation in France that schools CAN make less but when DONT WANT specially in US. It depends of the owner. ( Like my teacher said : if you are here good, if you're not, it's good too cause school get money from you). My friend also have dropped out so if you can please anwser or helping saying the right questions, i would be glad for all drop outs. My path in few words : (4 YEARS more of studies before beginning job+ 1 YEAR of master enterpreneurship), i'm actually 19. = Digital marketer, minimum 3k/month - max 10k / month + if i can transit to entrepreneurship via a compagny created or if a owner ask me to manage for him. + Investing in real estate and pay 0 tax if I can (Even Amazon do it cause it's legal) But if I drop out, can I or other one find a good job career without degree, so i can be more sure that doing entrepreneurship (to save some money before create it) and investing in real estate would be possible ? I ask this question to for the drop outs and my friend. Big big thanks to you. PS : Maybe one day, someone will do like Uber have done, make a university, more effective and cheap but it's profitable for them and everyone will be happy.
FINALLY a channel with soo many helpful things to learn and a guy that knows what he is talking about, WITHOUT trying to sell me a crappy 'quick-scheme'-product. Thank you Patrick! Keep it up! Favorite channel on UA-cam!

I'm just like you! But stay in school. Like the video says, if your lazy, stay in school. Develop that mental strength where you can dominate that "emotionally dragging studying" because that'll probably help you in the future.
As a high school student, I have the same feelings as you do. I would stay in university to develop that self-discipline if I were you, especially since all of your money and time would be wasted if you do drop out since you wouldn't get that piece of paper by dropping out. As others have already said, self-discipline is about finishing seemingly-daunting tasks that require effort and pain to finish without procrastinating, even though you don't want to do it. I suggest for you to find reasons that are bigger than excuses if you're a procrastinator.
I think this is one of the most valuable videos on UA-cam this time, I'm from India and people in my country have wrong attitude or wrong approach towards education and learning as most of them either under peer pressure or under the influence of parents end up in engineering,medical colleges without knowing the actual reason why they are really there apart from the reason of playing a role of engineer in their jobs which most of them are not capable of not because of the education system but because of their attitude towards choosing such a course . I think Mr Patrick has done a wonderful job doing this video and I really appreciate that it will help us and future generations to come .
Dude, whenever you started talking about "Subjects to teach in college" I WAS SO HAPPY!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I THINK ABOUT!! Why are we teaching people how to use MLA format or the pythagorean theorem when we could be teaching people how to do TAXES, make friends, make eye contact, communicate, how to save money, stop procrastinating. Like, these seem WAY more important! Thank you!
yes. i myself just started my path as an entrepreneur this year. I just dropped out of Marquette University because I realized I did it simply as a robot and out of peer pressure so yeah. I have always questioned the system even as a str8 A student. Then after reading a few books, I came across the cashflow queadrant and realized I did not want to make money just from the E quadrant, but from the B and I quadrant
Keep questioning it. And remember that being an entrepreneur isn't as flashy and exciting as people make it out to be. It's all about an absolute obsession to work hard while constantly looking for the optimal solution to any challenge you come across in business.
+VALUETAINMENT Good response. I expected you to praise him and say things like you can't fail screw the school system etc. It's better to be realistic then over optimistic.
Bro, u should read rich dad poor dad as well..It's from the same author of cashflow quadrant. That book changed my life.. it's the no. 1 personal finance book of all time
I am a straight A student and I’ve been thinking about dropping out for a month now. I just don’t have the strength to because my family think the only way to success is education😭😭
@@cindychelsea784 Same but I will have to continue with school cos of my *African parents*. Will finish my associates degree next year. School isn't making me happy
My case here.I had already dropped out from the college of Engineering but when my parents knew it.. I just had to go back.😂I am just waiting for the years to fly and I pursue my path.😂
Honestly Cindy, it’s not the only way, but if we are being honest here, if you are African American, education is the cover charge to get into the party, what you do when you’re in the room is dependent on your intelligence, persistence, and ambition.
This is sooo valuable. We're conditioned to think a certain way in this world. You have to recondition your thinking. You'll find yourself in life when you don't follow behind everyone. Choose your own path!
A business? When I started my first business, people told me that starting a business young is stupid because it'll fail. When people found out I was writing, suddenly I was told I needed a degree in order to be successful writer. Now I do believe that a college degree will make me a better writer, but I can't afford a degree and I already had some small successes writing without a degree. If I ever become a published writer, it'll be ironic to all those people who told me I'd fail. Lol
i used to be lazy but now i would like to work 40-50 hrs. im gonna drop college major computer information system but gets certificates so i at least have something. I will gain experience and go further. Its skill now over a paper.
Well, in IT experience and certificates are king and queen in that expertise. I plan, after graduating with a BS in IT, to be a network administrator. Later in life, I also plan to be a network architect.
Mind blown, I have ideas of starting a business and I thought college will make it work for me .Now I see I can make it on my own with no college needed . Thanks I'm a new subscriber and Im starting to watch your vidoes and its pushing me to start my business NOW :)
Bro i suggest you learn a high income skill first like something you can rely on to generate you alot of cash before starting a business. That way when you fail your first business, you won't fall down so hard because your skills WILL make you money anyways. Watch Dan Lok's Wealth Triangle video bro it explains what I mean. And good luck with life! We're on the same track as a matter of fact
Agree 100% about teaching the biggest problems we have in society. That’s why as an adjunct business professor I can successfully articulate what it takes to manage a business and what it takes to manage money and budgets to pay your bills and spend wisely. Love this idea! I consider myself as an adjunct business professional professor who teaches business courses based on education & experience.
***** Great thank you for asking, Its been an a great move for me and been able to have the opportunity to get clear on life and what I'd like to make of it, Now its time to put my head down and continue to work and become a positive impact on the world , I look forward to making a name for my self , college was never part of my small success and failures it was all 100% me, and I feel that it comes down to us, we are fully responsible for the levels of success we want to achieve , utilizing all tools we are given both in school and in the real university of life, thank you for taking the time to provide us always with such mind opening messages we truly appreciate your time, P.S look out for Sacramento PHP as a top contender in 2016
This guy is brilliant. He puts it out just d way I want it, & u can tell he's reeling it all out deep down from his soul. I'm a university graduate though but I always felt I was wasting d time I should use to hustle on academics then. I think I found a mentor; God bless d internet!
totally agree. I did a whole documentary about alternative education, and self directed learning. I got involved in alternative education, and began teaching blogging and community building. I studied neuromarketing and advertising as well as film on my own. I've had so many adventures and became a digital nomad. Learning every day and I'm teaching others to do the same :)

I saved $50,000 in the 4 years after high school. I used that to buy a duplex. I lived in one side and rented out the other. Now I own 3 properties, and have zero debt outside of mortgages. Not going to college was the best decision of my life.
@@PHARANORMALACTIVITY If you move into the property you qualify as an “owner occupant.” Meaning you can put as little as 3.5% down payment. The term is called “house hacking” and it’s how a lot of real estate investors get started.
I have mixed feelings about this. When I first came to University, I hated it. I thought it was useless, and coming into college I thought it wouldn’t teach me what I needed to know on how to run a business (I’m a business major). Although I almost dropped out I decided to stay because I had a full tuition scholarship and even had my rent paid for. But as I began networking I met people who were getting great jobs after college and it open my eyes to the opportunities that are available. I have seen people get six figure salaries right out of college. And for being 21 or 22 that is amazing. You always here the bad stories from people going to college but never the good ones. If you network and put in the work you can get amazing jobs. I am 21 and I just graduated from college two weeks ago and will be starting my new full-time job as a Project Manager in June making $78k my first year. That is in the state of North Carolina which is very good for a new grad! There are so many good roles out there that people are not aware of and if you the right people I think it’s a great option. P.S. I am a first generation Latino college grad!
I must say that watching your videos I find it fascinating how much honest, realistic, and positive you are as a person. I came from the rock bottom in a small country and everyone in my environment were so judgmental towards rich and successful people. Constantly saying how they are all crooks and bad people and that they've accomplished everything with frauds, and criminal, which is often case over here. But I always wanted to be successful and maintain my honesty and values and even though everyone told me it's impossible I kept going, and right now I work for an amazing agency and my CEO told me to watch your videos to educate myself, and I am more than grateful both to him and to you. I see you as a role model and a living proof that you can be successful and well situated without being pure evil on two legs. So thank you. :)
I dropped out and told my parents that I didn't want them paying for my college education. Many years later, I developed indoor/outdoor golf schools. It was a fantastic learning opportunity. I'm a visionary. I've had many great ideas where people thought I was completely bonkers! One of them was the concept of Netflix, before there was a Blockbusters! I didn't follow thru with it because I started to believe that I it was better to have the good opinion of people and be well-liked rather than take crazy risks on concepts people couldn't conceive. Now, many moons later, having learned my lesson(s), I'm back and I know who I am. I want to thank you for these fantastic coaching sessions! My take-away is: find something that makes you crazy excited to create, find a mentor, become an expert, and believe in yourself, then follow-thru! You're the best! I'm always inspired by each video. Wishing you success in everything you do!
@@imhopelesslyaddictedtofent4266 worked out for me. 20k for an engineering degree. Now I make 170k. ROI was pretty good. Been 6 years since I graduated
@@imhopelesslyaddictedtofent4266 there's definitely decent pay for financial analysts. Honestly depends how much debt it's gonna cost you. In my case I went to community college and got the cheapest university degree I could find. I'm currently transitioning out of engineering and moving towards data analytics with a master's. Granted I would have never had these options if I didn't bust my ass and make some money in the first place. Would recommend you get a decent income first and cover living costs. Then chase down what you're truly good at and enjoy. It's also nearly impossible to know what that'll be until you've gotten more life and work experience.
Watching this in 2023 and 8 years later its been worse Cost of living has 50x alongside cost of houses and income has just 8x to $100k/yr I firmly believe going to college is a total waste of time because everybody wants to be successful and they teach you to be comfortable and that means being dependent on the government and the system
Now that i am 24 years old and about to approach age 25, I must say that I learned more things when I dropped out of college compared to when I was in college at the time when I was 21 years old. I was ''studying'' in college for one semester only. Here are some lessons and life experience or wisdom I have acquired, as far as advanced learning and competence is concerned: * learning requires memory, and memory is created during sleep thanks to protein synthesis, so make sure you get at least 7 hours of sleep * writing and taking notes in a notebook is one of the best ways to document and recall or retrieve information when you need it later on * listening is slower than reading, so make sure to ask questions and identify key ideas or concepts whenever you learn something new * the fastest way to learn is by imitation and repetition * the best way to learn is by teaching because teaching helps you engage with the information in an interactive and dynamic way. there is a saying: ''to teach is to learn twice'' These are the lessons I have learned so far. I guess it all comes down to the topics and the subjects you are actually curious about that allows you to be like a sponge and take in as much information and technical details about every aspect of whatever it is you want to learn. Now, as I mentioned earlier, I dropped out of college at age 22 only after one semester, thinking that I made a mistake or a wrong decision when choosing a major. I chose a major to become a consultant when I was 20 years old, and now that I am 24 years old, things came full circle unexpectedly. Now that I look back at those confusing times in the past, not really knowing if I made the right decision or not, I can confidently say that I have no regrets whatsoever. There are perhaps a few things I wish I had known at the time, but things worked out pretty well, regardless of how much struggle and adversity I went through. If you're reading this comment and you think you made the wrong decision by choosing the wrong major or dropping out of college completely, I am here to tell you that you might've actually chosen the right alternative after all. There is a very poetic and philosophical quote in the movie Matrix when Neo sits down to speak with an oracle, and the oracle says: ''You didn't come here to make the choice. You've already made it. You're here to try to understand why you made it.'' I couldn't have said it better.
Some really great points were made in this video. I couldn't agree more with it. I fit the description of reasons not to go to college. I wasted 3+ years on college and learned nothing from it. because I was doing the wrong thing. I had no business being there. If you don't plan on being a doctor or something related, college is Incredibly stupid. If you're an entrepreneur at heart (as much as that word is overused) then college will only slow you down. And one more thing.... If what you're studying or are considering studying can be learned much faster without college, at your pace, then you'd only waste your time attending.
It's been 2 years since i graduated highschool. I skipped the college part and moved to another city alone. At the moment i wanted to become an artist. I got a job i wanted. I think not to enrolling in university stuff was the greatest decision in my life. Just have your own mind, question everything, what do i want? learn about what is money? what is business? How does it work? Should i pursue my passion? What is passion? etc. Now, i only got a purpose to achieve financial freedom. Because at last of all, there's no such thing as fullfilling job. Everysingle day, i'm thinking and trying to figure out the way to achieve it. Problem is in our mind. We gotta do what we have to do and learn to love it. I also used to think that money is not that important, but if we just calm down and open our eyes, almost everything is measured by money, whatever we want we need money. But it's nothing about money, it is about luxury of time and peace of mind. So we gotta do something that makes money. Don't just blindly do what gives you pleasure. Constantly making mistakes, losing money, time, and effort. But that's part of the process, i learn so much from that. And i'm still having party sometimes, kind of enjoying it. College is not a choice if you truly want to live freely. That's what i would say to youth in my age.
This is incredibly amazing! I recently graduated with honors from highschool and so far highschool has taught me... NOTHING. I've always wanted something bigger in life, and I've decided to take a year off to smell the world a little bit and guess what? It's been extremely fascinating. I've learned how the real world works outside of the school walls. I'm an aspiring entrepreneur, and I've been trying to start somewhere. I am working on a project, and I hope for the best and that it goes well. However, it makes me very upset when others say "Oh you should go to college, you're too smart not to go to college ". ...But as I apply myself, what if I become too smart for college? I'm learning with my older sister on how the world " really " works. The whole school system, government system, economic system is so deceptive, and couldn't be further from the truth! I originally didn't go because I had some medical issues, but I'm pushing through. After watching this video tonight really shows me how we don't have to follow a certain system to be successful. Thankyou so much Patrick and your whole team. I'm a subscriber for life :)

Hi Patrick my name is Nuno i have 27 years old i'm from Cape Verde and i just saw in this video that some of this ideia that you show us here is some of the same ideia that i had since my 20 or 22 years old, that school don't even teach a 50% of what you will face in the real live, what is going thru in your job, relationships, money, etc..... I saw that a lot of students are in school but they don't know what they are doing there, because they got some knowledge from the school but the school don't really show you how to used in real live. I just got happy that i see that i'm not the only one who think this way . thanks and continue the great work.
I completely agree with this Patrick. Thanks for this video and for all the others you make. I wish I watched this before I went and got a degree. What a waste of time and money. Work ethic is the most important thing for success for sure. I have a successful business of my own now that I am very grateful for but It has nothing to do with a degree and everything to do with discipline and work ethic. Watching a video from the late great Jim Rohn changed the way I looked at life. Jim Rohn youtube videos were way more valuable to me then a four year college degree. Thank You Valutainment for posting this.
I have opened 9 restaurants and been blessed with all of them. I have been in trucking as an investor and failed miserably. I have started a small business marketing company and I see my future. Patrick Bet-David is all you need. I am growing and loving life and my recommendation is to stop listening to everyone else ( or most) and focus 100% on Patrick. Thanks you Patrick... God Bless!
I dropped out college on my second year, this year. I used to live abroad from home and study in a private college. I started working in IT and got a job working from home. I could've support all my costs but I decided to help my father with family expense and use a portion of my income to start up a platform. I'm highly motivated by learning about becoming an entrepreneur and it's been 8 months I regularly watch valutainment. Thank you for teaching what real world refuses to teach us!
Learnt more in my first week of attempting to go out into the industry I was studying than 18 months of university. Things they never taught me how to do that are vital capabilities to survive let alone succeed in that industry. I learnt more in the sales jobs I had for 6 years as well.
Pat, your argument is valid in certain cases. But given that we have schools that teach the kids the right lessons then the argument should be to pick the right school and not against going to college.
I disagree with the full ride. In many cases you certainly are right but I had a full-ride opportunity and I turned it down when I dropped out at 17 years old. it took a lot of very hard work to get my business going but I'm only 18 years old and I'm preparing to travel the world. By 20 years old, I will likely be speaking 3 languages and have visited at least three continents. Again, you're right and that for most people they might as well just take advantage of it, except I couldn't wait so long to be successful. Especially when you just sit around and you're bored all day and you just do the nonsense other people tell you to do. If you want to be an entrepreneur comment you have to take control of yourself and delegate your own work. You can only learn running your own business by doing it.
Here’s a discussion we should have. I’m an accountant and I’d say I’m pretty good at it and I’ve done pretty well for myself given my age. Unfortunately, someone wanting to be a CPA must have a college degree. Even though you can buy spend the $2k on the study materials and pass the exam. This isn’t want I’m concerned about though. So I’m helping my brother with his accounting degree and I was bored one day and asked him to send me a copy of his bill. He is finishing his last year online since it’s cheaper and his bill included fees for campus building usage, other random $40 to $80 fees, and the best one yet is a $100 late fee!! This late fee was assessed 15 days after the start of the semester. Most businesses allow 30 days to pay a bill and even they won’t charge $100 for a late fee. So I emailed the school to ask. They said they can charge up to $300 a semester for late fees. So I asked them why they charge a late fee when a student can’t register for classes for the next semester with a balance due. I’m still waiting for their reply. So now colleges are charging late fees on top of the thousands of dollars someone has to pay for a semester. He owed $2300 plus late fee. Adding late fees makes it even harder for someone to go to college. It’s sickening.
Pat, I'm pumped, left school recently, was studying design at a community college in KC. Stayed in touch with an instructor and he sent a job to me. Took me 10 hrs and I only made $50 - however, I was more excited about getting paid to learn vs the opposite at school. The commute to school alone came to 30hrs a semester. The youtube videos I took advantage of there covered more in those hrs. than a whole semester at school. Thanks for being a virtual mentor.
One of the most best and information video I have ever watched. It shares such an amazing way to address so many challenges that the world is currently facing. Thank you so much Patrick. Incredible.
Exactly the same what I think. I want to start my own company but my parents are not supporting me. They are saying that degree is very important but for me it doesn’t make any sense. Degree is for them who need to run in the same race in which whole world is running. Degree is for those who need jobs. I don't want to be a job seeker I want to create jobs. And in my company I don't need anyone to have a degree to work with me. And people who say in college you learn how to live in this world and you get experience, for those I just want to say one word "bullshit". If anyone wants to learn how to live in a world just leave your home and same with how to get experience. My parents don't support me than also I'm not giving up on my dreams. If you really want to do different and make your dreams come true than you don't need to waste your time in college or getting a degree. I totally agree with you.
+VALUETAINMENT Sir you can help me in my startup. Please mail me himanshuchoudhary2411@gmail.com I want to ask you some questions personally. I'll be waiting for your email. Thank you sir.
I had to drop out from my first college due to finances. I was studying music performance and I almost quit music because of it. The percussion "instructor" (if I could even call him that) was terrible and didn't teach me a thing. I take that back... He taught me how to come up with believe-able excuses on why I couldn't attend his lessons. The school also wasn't the place for me to be at. I didn't like the college from the start but I went anyways because I felt pressured by my parents into going. Every thing I did, every class I took, every book I read made me increasingly less emotionally and financially unstable. One upside is that I did make many amazing friends but I just feel that I can grow elsewhere. I do plan on going to another school, Berklee College of Music, even if its for a limited time. I feel that I can learn my craft, stretch myself as a musician, and make lifelong connections there. Thankfully it is a super specialized school where musicians can focus on their craft, become amazing musicians, and network with people from all around the world. College is definitely not for everyone but I definitely feel that given the right environment, thirst for knowledge, and effort can result in amazing things!
Thanks David !!! Valuetainment is , by far...the most informative videos I have ever watched. This video is, by far, the most important for any young person to watch. My daughter is now 15, and soon...she will be coming to that point in her life...to go, or not to go to college. Your argument is spot on. I am a retired veteran finishing my degree and starting my own business at the same time. I also work in the department creating and teaching a field of study that is directly related to my business. As part of the development, I have convinced the "higher ups" that a course in Entrepreneurship is a must have for a person to succeed in this field upon graduating. I have had the privilege of speaking with a Senator who visited my "class" and we spoke of student success in this field. Again....a course in Entrepreneurship will help solidify a person in making something of their degree....instead of accepting a "safe" mediocre job, making someone else rich. Instead of accepting a job outside of their degree field due to the job market being flooded with too many graduates applying to that position. "Give a man a fish...." Entrepreneurship will teach a man (or woman) "to fish". By the way...Thank you for your service, to this country AND to humanity, with these videos. Salute.....
Thank you for saying something that I have been thinking for a while, I wish more people could watch this and also see this point of view in order to start some change
What really gets me is the fact you never see the accounting of where all the $$$ goes, your local school board gets from taxes. Why is it they send the kids out to raise funds for field trips, where's all the money really going, I think the taxpayers need to demand that
I was gonna like the video, until I saw him not mention trade school in the "BEFORE YOU DROP OUT OF COLLEGE" segment. My advice is consider trade school before you plan on dropping out of university
More people need to see this video! I'm still in high school but I'm already making money as an entrepreneur. I'm going to college because I want to meet people who have the same mindset and interest while having the freedom and time to learn and work on my goals. I definitely agree that you don't need a college degree to be successful, but not a lot people in my school agree with that, they are uncertain about they life and are going to college just for the degree. They all need to see this video.
I truly appreciate your video with your point of view. My 21 yo daughter will love to watch it. These are the issues that she brings to my attention. She will never drop out of college since she knows what path she wants to take and she is straight As student. My older boy that currently serves in the Navy listens to your show. He gave me a great sense of pride when I mentioned your show and he knew all about it and listening to him elaborating. Thanks for bringing such a diverse show to us.
I absolutely agree with you Pat, not because I follow you or anything, but because you are dead right on. Im a 24 year old getting my Psychology BA degree and will be doing a one year graduate certificate in Financial Planning. The BA psychology hasn't really taught me a lot but what I'm doing after that will be what I'm passionate about. One thing that my degree has taught me is DISCIPLINE and NEVER GIVING UP. believe it or not, i got kicked out from this program twice but Im naturally a fighter and with that mindset and what i have gone through to be able to finish my degree, its a real discipline. HOWEVER, one thing I would add to your arguments, is TRY DIFFERENT STUFF. I had absolutely no idea that the stock market is my passion (believe me, i have lost and made some good gains but man the experience I have learned is beyond amazing) and i just love it no matter what and that is why I want to help people plan for their future and invest smart. my goal is to have my own firm and company that revolves around this sort of thing. SO one thing I could add, is TRY DIFFERENT STUFF and you will be surprised on what opportunities you will come across that you would have never thought about. this ties in with your argument of traveling the world so yup! excuse the lack of grammar and such but I would like to tell you that I ABSOLUTELY agree with your topic and arguments. P.S I am in Canada and the cost of books and tuition is ridiculous. an average book costs around 100-125 let alone some cost well over 230+... so you do have my support on this Pat. Keep it up and lets shine a lot more on topics that DO MATTER. God bless brother. Let me know what you think about this. Cheers, Adib.
Thanks for the feedback. You make a great point with trying different stuff to find out your passion. All the best to you with starting your own financial practice one day.
Why hadn't this video have thousands of views and likes? I'm 16 yr old and I want to becoming an entrepreneur , I am on the process of building a small business and will work hard to make a huge industry
Thank you for sharing these "reality check" thoughts with us... I finally found someone who shares the same advocacy to improve the current education system.. that values integrating specifically, those subjects in real life setting like parenting and preparing younger ones on aiming to be a "prepared lifetime spouse and role model parents for a better world tomorrow". I'm pursuing additional units in teaching now, precisely to pursue that goal in my available capacity as I look forward to take part in the solution I wish to see. I will really appreciate your mentorship and hope we can work hand in hand to make our advocacies a reality in our respective countries. I agree that much can be accomplished when done with a team with a growth and finisher mentality. Thank you for your hard work in making worthwhile videos...truly appreciated!!!! Hope to hear from you soon.- AHA,7/30/2017
I am 17 and am not interested in going to college i am very hungry to become an entrepreneur and with the internet i have discovered a lot of other ways that people can start a business through mentorship and i think going this route for me is a better opportunity than going through the system doing something i would not enjoy and not have the same drive for, even if i get judged and criticized i know i can make it work
My son shared this video with me :-) so thank you for very interesting and well put summary of our education system in general. I'm concur with most of the points that you outlined in this video. I will probably extend the list to why not to drop out of college by additional reason: "Immigration"- If immigration to another country is likely event during the life time, then having degree will help to find new job in new country and make this process of immigration much easier. In addition the army argument for self discipline is applicable just in few specific countries, I know few countries where I will never send my son to the army in.
My parents and relatives are talking me out of it, I'm sure and damn well my idea and passion will work. I wana die sometimes, I want to drop out of college to focus in my work but they keep forcing me cause they "know" its going to be good for me (it's not).
I dropped out of high school, got money for college (joined the army) and now I've been considering dropping out of college, but at the same time I kind of want to take advantage of the ability to learn whatever I want while I can
I think that all of education, not just college, and even our culture needs reform. These ideas for college that you propose should be common place throughout all of life. As for what I would do for education, I would say keep elementary and middle school the same but change high school to be about learning life skills and finding what one loves to do and college should be about honing said love.
A few days ago I discovered you. I am so impressed with your videos. You are super sharp. Thank you. I have been a business owner for 30 years. I am a Legal Latina that really loves America. I bet the colleges are not happy with you. You are so correct about everything.
I agree that if you hard worker and smart ass fox you don't have to go to college if you know what you want from life and if you do what it takes to succed!

"Schools want to say capitalism sucks. Schools are using the capitalistic system at a whole different place." I applaud you for saying this. Very nice. It's a total double standard.
I'd say schools are implementing communism-enforced capitalism.
No free market, you HAVE to buy exactly those books for those courses, AND we'll maximize our profits out of the books we're forcing you to buy. No free choice like in capitalism, no low prices / redistributed wealth like ideal communism. The worst of both worlds, monopoly of the market.
Capitalism shouldn't be in school. All those supplies, books and activities should be funded by the school which got it's funds from the government or some other governmental entity.
@Jason Bourne I didn't even mention communism? I just said there should be government funded programs for children and school which cannot afford school supplies and something similar. That is not communism or socialism, it's a human right.
The US has a compulsory 12 year education that has degraded because too many underperforming 1:53 students stay in it. It would be better for the non academics oriented students to go to trade schools, work or the military.

Pat, if you see this comment, thank you so much from the bottom of heart. You've changed my life and the lives of my future generations.
how'd you make dropping out of school work out?
@@favorednohamba9511 i took an online course on how to generate traffic to blogs.

"Who said you need to go to college from 18 to 22?" I am so glad that I didn't enter college right away. I had some money saved up and decided to travel since I didn't yet know what I wanted. In that year of travel, I learned a second language, met amazing new people and landed a job as a translator. I wouldn't have had those experiences had I went straight into university.
S B In my 2nd year of college and feel like I’m getting nowhere. The classes I have to take are useless. One class is internet tools, another is abnormal psychology. These classes have nothing to do with my degree.
Damn your smart for that 🤓
Darth Maul general education that has nothing to do with our major lol money down the drain
Wow, impressive and you did it your way you experienced life. You educate your yourself.👏💪👍
I’ve been talking about a gap year with my parents for a few years now and I only have a few months left before I decide to go to college or take a gap year. I know with confidence that I would be happier on a gap year and that I need some time to mature and reflect on life. However, here in Ireland you can’t defer scholarships, so I’d be losing out on €20,000 if I took a gap year. I personally would rather go without the money, but my parents are mostly paying for uni and they want the money so I get called selfish for talking about gap years.
take it from me who has a bachelors in English AND Kinesiology: I wish I dropped out when I was 20 and did my own thing. College isn't needed for 80% of the people going there....
Yea, it's not for everyone. Some people learn in different way and college don't offer that.
+Elliot Scott Dating english is a useless degree. Kinesiology might work for you. Read, Work. And college is only for professionals now. It is the era of the Long Tail.

Absolutely true
English is a lower paying degree.
If you're not motivated for school but you can get up for entrepreneurship and work your butt off, that might be a sign to look more into entrepreneurship. Don't ignore your energy.
That’s sound advice
But if you’re not motivated for school you won’t be motivated for entrepreneurship. Being motivated for school is doing the nitty gritty, boring work that is required when starting a business.
People like to work hard to be an entrepreneur because it sounds sexy, until they quit after they face their first problem
@@benjaminsibson8760 Replying to my original comment and yours after a year or so of more experience. I still stand by the original statement, however, you do have a fair point. So here's how I would word it differently:
If you're not motivated for school (because you know you're not developing the skills and self-awareness needed for entrepreneurship) but you can get up -for entrepreneurship- (to learn and improve on the side), that might be a sign to look more into entrepreneurship. Don't ignore your energy. (Furthermore, if you're only in it to make money, get out of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is NOT easy. I repeat, NOT easy. You will feel like you're grinding yourself to death at certain times. If you want to just make a lot of money, get into computer science or medical, etc. A profession that can make you a lot of money. I'm telling you right now, since the roadmap to becoming an engineer or doctor is already mapped out and clear, you just have to hit your goals.)
Basically, if you're trying to flex: stop. Entrepreneurship is not for you. Get a nice job and learn how to invest in a smart manner (not get rich quick) and you'll have your money. But yes, to your point Benjamin, the title "entrepreneur" or "CEO" has been glorified much like "being a rapper".
Much love and hope everyone gets the self-awareness to feel comfortable doing what they think they're the best at! 💯
To add to this, I would say that if you do end up taking the entrepreneurship route, get ready to get out of your comfort zone and do things that make you EXTREMELY uncomfortable. You will face problems that you will find impossible to crack until you actually crack them. You will question yourself and your faith in yourself nearly every day. Like I said, it's not easy.
What you were saying about the peer pressure from parents is totally true. I have been going to schools which are seen as schools for generally wealthier people, and the amount of pressure most parents in these type of schools put on their kids to go to universities or colleges "that have a good name" is insane. The funny thing is most of the pressure is not even about the learning environment or the standard of education that those colleges or universities have, but the parents trying to boast about how intelligent their kids are and how prestigious the schools are that they attend.
It's almost like a competition where the parent which has their kids in the best school wins all the respect. It is really sad that most wealthier parents don't even recognize the damage this does to their kids as their kids don't even persuade careers they want, solely because of the parents sense of self-importance.
Please reply if you can relate to this, I would really like to know your view about this problem.
+Ibrahim Morris There's a ton of pressure on parents nowadays.
Ibrahim Morris i can totally relate
Luckily, I did not experience that. I've dropped my Electrical Engineering program before the finals of my first semester because of extremely unmotivated unlike on my High School days before. Now, I would go back to school to study Mechanical Engineering and I preferably to study on an average school WITH quality education. And my parents would let me do that.
Its really narcissistic if you think about it

Hello I️ am a hard working 15 year old stuck in school and I️ don’t kno what I️ want to become in life, do you have any advice for me
Hi, i have a big question. People go to universities, high school etc, because they are principaly afraid of doing no money or not good money without a degree. And they think that to get a good job that gives good money, you need a degree. In this world today, can every drop out or most of them find a good well paying job ( even with promotion and time, a good career without a degree ) ?
I'm not talking about entrepreneurship cause it depends if you start from zero or a job or other case.
That's why personnally, i continue to going to college to study digital marketing ( And for the 1 year of entrepreneurship what i wanted to make, i think i can succeed maybe without it but i will see).
Because i can't see myself have a good job, or good career without a degree and so without good money, even in sales and commission. And if i need some money before starting a compagny. (Here in france, only sales jobs earn good in commission, not real estate agents. And in the top of that, business owners commission like Trivago can do a lot of money but it's for entrepreneurs).
And yes, this side of the world is not shared at school because they want your money and school is made by entrepreneurs i agree.
AND i want to notice that in France, studies cost for me NOTHING compared to the debt poor US and others countries students have to PAY for. I pay my university only 164 per YEAR. And the only universities that cost a lot are the best. Commerce universities are costing a bit more but compared to US that's actually nothing.
I'm from France and asked this question that every day goes to my brain. I wanted to make know you the situation in France that schools CAN make less but when DONT WANT specially in US. It depends of the owner.
( Like my teacher said : if you are here good, if you're not, it's good too cause school get money from you).
My friend also have dropped out so if you can please anwser or helping saying the right questions, i would be glad for all drop outs.
My path in few words :
(4 YEARS more of studies before beginning job+ 1 YEAR of master enterpreneurship), i'm actually 19.
= Digital marketer, minimum 3k/month - max 10k / month
+ if i can transit to entrepreneurship via a compagny created or if a owner ask me to manage for him.
+ Investing in real estate and pay 0 tax if I can (Even Amazon do it cause it's legal)
But if I drop out, can I or other one find a good job career without degree, so i can be more sure that doing entrepreneurship (to save some money before create it) and investing in real estate would be possible ?
I ask this question to for the drop outs and my friend. Big big thanks to you.
PS : Maybe one day, someone will do like Uber have done, make a university, more effective and cheap but it's profitable for them and everyone will be happy.
You should include #8 on your list of subjects to teach in college: nutrition and health - that increases awareness about FOOD
I tell kids become an entrepreneur, or go to trade school.

Self Made Diaries A under the radar screen... google it.... 100 💯 % free $$$ for college or universities, even private. The scholarship program is called “Kalamazoo Promise “ program note
What if I am disciplined with the things I like but lazy with university because it's not my way of studying and it's emotionally dragging?
You should dropout
I'm just like you! But stay in school. Like the video says, if your lazy, stay in school. Develop that mental strength where you can dominate that "emotionally dragging studying" because that'll probably help you in the future.
Learning how to get it done despite the emotional drag... Might just be the best thing college could teach you.
If you like to do it, its not discipline. Discipline is doing what you need to do even though you don't want to do it.
As a high school student, I have the same feelings as you do. I would stay in university to develop that self-discipline if I were you, especially since all of your money and time would be wasted if you do drop out since you wouldn't get that piece of paper by dropping out. As others have already said, self-discipline is about finishing seemingly-daunting tasks that require effort and pain to finish without procrastinating, even though you don't want to do it. I suggest for you to find reasons that are bigger than excuses if you're a procrastinator.
I think this is one of the most valuable videos on UA-cam this time, I'm from India and people in my country have wrong attitude or wrong approach towards education and learning as most of them either under peer pressure or under the influence of parents end up in engineering,medical colleges without knowing the actual reason why they are really there apart from the reason of playing a role of engineer in their jobs which most of them are not capable of not because of the education system but because of their attitude towards choosing such a course . I think Mr Patrick has done a wonderful job doing this video and I really appreciate that it will help us and future generations to come .
Dude, whenever you started talking about "Subjects to teach in college" I WAS SO HAPPY!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I THINK ABOUT!! Why are we teaching people how to use MLA format or the pythagorean theorem when we could be teaching people how to do TAXES, make friends, make eye contact, communicate, how to save money, stop procrastinating. Like, these seem WAY more important! Thank you!
Because I learned that in junior high school, sports and Boy Scouts.
yes. i myself just started my path as an entrepreneur this year. I just dropped out of Marquette University because I realized I did it simply as a robot and out of peer pressure so yeah. I have always questioned the system even as a str8 A student. Then after reading a few books, I came across the cashflow queadrant and realized I did not want to make money just from the E quadrant, but from the B and I quadrant
Keep questioning it. And remember that being an entrepreneur isn't as flashy and exciting as people make it out to be. It's all about an absolute obsession to work hard while constantly looking for the optimal solution to any challenge you come across in business.

Honestly Cindy, it’s not the only way, but if we are being honest here, if you are African American, education is the cover charge to get into the party, what you do when you’re in the room is dependent on your intelligence, persistence, and ambition.
And to think these numbers are outdated and it’s only gotten worse in 2023

This is sooo valuable. We're conditioned to think a certain way in this world. You have to recondition your thinking. You'll find yourself in life when you don't follow behind everyone. Choose your own path!
A business?
When I started my first business, people told me that starting a business young is stupid because it'll fail.
When people found out I was writing, suddenly I was told I needed a degree in order to be successful writer. Now I do believe that a college degree will make me a better writer, but I can't afford a degree and I already had some small successes writing without a degree. If I ever become a published writer, it'll be ironic to all those people who told me I'd fail. Lol

i used to be lazy but now i would like to work 40-50 hrs. im gonna drop college major computer information system but gets certificates so i at least have something. I will gain experience and go further. Its skill now over a paper.
Adrian Vega sounds like a great idea!
Adrian Vega You just described my life 5 bucks says ur the same age too
Well, in IT experience and certificates are king and queen in that expertise. I plan, after graduating with a BS in IT, to be a network administrator. Later in life, I also plan to be a network architect.
Totally agree! I used to be lazy as well. I guess that's the curse of growing up in a comfortable middle class family.
And nobody is gonna hire you and give you experience cause you ain't got no degree...It's paper gets you the opportunity to get skills

How's it going
Hardik Mahajan I do amazon marketing its booming
Bro i suggest you learn a high income skill first like something you can rely on to generate you alot of cash before starting a business. That way when you fail your first business, you won't fall down so hard because your skills WILL make you money anyways. Watch Dan Lok's Wealth Triangle video bro it explains what I mean. And good luck with life! We're on the same track as a matter of fact
Agree 100% about teaching the biggest problems we have in society.
That’s why as an adjunct business professor I can successfully articulate what it takes to manage a business and what it takes to manage money and budgets to pay your bills and spend wisely.
Love this idea! I consider myself as an adjunct business professional professor who teaches business courses based on education & experience.
Reality check to the fullest, thank you sir.

This guy is brilliant. He puts it out just d way I want it, & u can tell he's reeling it all out deep down from his soul. I'm a university graduate though but I always felt I was wasting d time I should use to hustle on academics then. I think I found a mentor; God bless d internet!
I am sincerely blown away by how savvy you are!! You are my inspiration! Thank you VERY much Patrick!!
+Jessi Jessi You got it.
totally agree. I did a whole documentary about alternative education, and self directed learning. I got involved in alternative education, and began teaching blogging and community building. I studied neuromarketing and advertising as well as film on my own. I've had so many adventures and became a digital nomad. Learning every day and I'm teaching others to do the same :)
+Isabelle Rizo What was the documentary called?
The BellaVie project Documentary
Isabelle Rizo A under the radar screen... google it.... 100 💯 % free $$$ for college or universities, even private. The scholarship program is called “Kalamazoo Promise “ program gre
I saved $50,000 in the 4 years after high school. I used that to buy a duplex. I lived in one side and rented out the other. Now I own 3 properties, and have zero debt outside of mortgages. Not going to college was the best decision of my life.
def gonna try dis.
@@PHARANORMALACTIVITY If you move into the property you qualify as an “owner occupant.” Meaning you can put as little as 3.5% down payment. The term is called “house hacking” and it’s how a lot of real estate investors get started.
I have mixed feelings about this. When I first came to University, I hated it. I thought it was useless, and coming into college I thought it wouldn’t teach me what I needed to know on how to run a business (I’m a business major). Although I almost dropped out I decided to stay because I had a full tuition scholarship and even had my rent paid for. But as I began networking I met people who were getting great jobs after college and it open my eyes to the opportunities that are available. I have seen people get six figure salaries right out of college. And for being 21 or 22 that is amazing. You always here the bad stories from people going to college but never the good ones. If you network and put in the work you can get amazing jobs.
I am 21 and I just graduated from college two weeks ago and will be starting my new full-time job as a Project Manager in June making $78k my first year. That is in the state of North Carolina which is very good for a new grad! There are so many good roles out there that people are not aware of and if you the right people I think it’s a great option.
P.S. I am a first generation Latino college grad!
I must say that watching your videos I find it fascinating how much honest, realistic, and positive you are as a person. I came from the rock bottom in a small country and everyone in my environment were so judgmental towards rich and successful people. Constantly saying how they are all crooks and bad people and that they've accomplished everything with frauds, and criminal, which is often case over here. But I always wanted to be successful and maintain my honesty and values and even though everyone told me it's impossible I kept going, and right now I work for an amazing agency and my CEO told me to watch your videos to educate myself, and I am more than grateful both to him and to you. I see you as a role model and a living proof that you can be successful and well situated without being pure evil on two legs. So thank you. :)
I dropped out and told my parents that I didn't want them paying for my college education. Many years later, I developed indoor/outdoor golf schools. It was a fantastic learning opportunity. I'm a visionary. I've had many great ideas where people thought I was completely bonkers! One of them was the concept of Netflix, before there was a Blockbusters! I didn't follow thru with it because I started to believe that I it was better to have the good opinion of people and be well-liked rather than take crazy risks on concepts people couldn't conceive. Now, many moons later, having learned my lesson(s), I'm back and I know who I am.
I want to thank you for these fantastic coaching sessions! My take-away is: find something that makes you crazy excited to create, find a mentor, become an expert, and believe in yourself, then follow-thru!
You're the best! I'm always inspired by each video. Wishing you success in everything you do!
perfect topic. thank you
Yes, very good talk!
I agree with Antonio Rubio from Peru! Let's change the educational system already. Patrick, with your help we can make a change. PUBLISH THAT BOOK!
I must admit, choosing to go back to college has made a dramatic difference in my life. It literally is one of the best investments I've made
Why?
@@imhopelesslyaddictedtofent4266 worked out for me. 20k for an engineering degree. Now I make 170k. ROI was pretty good. Been 6 years since I graduated
@@BboyDaquack Good stuff. Im going for finance which isn’t as useful or impressive as engineering so i’m considering dropping out.
@@imhopelesslyaddictedtofent4266 there's definitely decent pay for financial analysts. Honestly depends how much debt it's gonna cost you. In my case I went to community college and got the cheapest university degree I could find. I'm currently transitioning out of engineering and moving towards data analytics with a master's. Granted I would have never had these options if I didn't bust my ass and make some money in the first place. Would recommend you get a decent income first and cover living costs. Then chase down what you're truly good at and enjoy. It's also nearly impossible to know what that'll be until you've gotten more life and work experience.
Watching this in 2023 and 8 years later its been worse
Cost of living has 50x alongside cost of houses and income has just 8x to $100k/yr
I firmly believe going to college is a total waste of time because everybody wants to be successful and they teach you to be comfortable and that means being dependent on the government and the system
DAMN, this hits hard. So true.
Now that i am 24 years old and about to approach age 25, I must say that I learned more things when I dropped out of college compared to when I was in college at the time when I was 21 years old. I was ''studying'' in college for one semester only. Here are some lessons and life experience or wisdom I have acquired, as far as advanced learning and competence is concerned:
* learning requires memory, and memory is created during sleep thanks to protein synthesis, so make sure you get at least 7 hours of sleep
* writing and taking notes in a notebook is one of the best ways to document and recall or retrieve information when you need it later on
* listening is slower than reading, so make sure to ask questions and identify key ideas or concepts whenever you learn something new
* the fastest way to learn is by imitation and repetition
* the best way to learn is by teaching because teaching helps you engage with the information in an interactive and dynamic way. there is a saying: ''to teach is to learn twice''
These are the lessons I have learned so far. I guess it all comes down to the topics and the subjects you are actually curious about that allows you to be like a sponge and take in as much information and technical details about every aspect of whatever it is you want to learn. Now, as I mentioned earlier, I dropped out of college at age 22 only after one semester, thinking that I made a mistake or a wrong decision when choosing a major. I chose a major to become a consultant when I was 20 years old, and now that I am 24 years old, things came full circle unexpectedly. Now that I look back at those confusing times in the past, not really knowing if I made the right decision or not, I can confidently say that I have no regrets whatsoever. There are perhaps a few things I wish I had known at the time, but things worked out pretty well, regardless of how much struggle and adversity I went through. If you're reading this comment and you think you made the wrong decision by choosing the wrong major or dropping out of college completely, I am here to tell you that you might've actually chosen the right alternative after all. There is a very poetic and philosophical quote in the movie Matrix when Neo sits down to speak with an oracle, and the oracle says: ''You didn't come here to make the choice. You've already made it. You're here to try to understand why you made it.'' I couldn't have said it better.
Some really great points were made in this video. I couldn't agree more with it. I fit the description of reasons not to go to college. I wasted 3+ years on college and learned nothing from it. because I was doing the wrong thing. I had no business being there. If you don't plan on being a doctor or something related, college is Incredibly stupid. If you're an entrepreneur at
heart (as much as that word is overused) then college will only slow you down.
And one more thing.... If what you're studying or are considering studying can be learned much faster without college, at your pace, then you'd only waste your time attending.
It's been 2 years since i graduated highschool. I skipped the college part and moved to another city alone. At the moment i wanted to become an artist. I got a job i wanted. I think not to enrolling in university stuff was the greatest decision in my life. Just have your own mind, question everything, what do i want? learn about what is money? what is business? How does it work? Should i pursue my passion? What is passion? etc.
Now, i only got a purpose to achieve financial freedom. Because at last of all, there's no such thing as fullfilling job. Everysingle day, i'm thinking and trying to figure out the way to achieve it. Problem is in our mind. We gotta do what we have to do and learn to love it.
I also used to think that money is not that important, but if we just calm down and open our eyes, almost everything is measured by money, whatever we want we need money. But it's nothing about money, it is about luxury of time and peace of mind. So we gotta do something that makes money. Don't just blindly do what gives you pleasure. Constantly making mistakes, losing money, time, and effort. But that's part of the process, i learn so much from that.
And i'm still having party sometimes, kind of enjoying it. College is not a choice if you truly want to live freely. That's what i would say to youth in my age.
This is your best video I've seen and, in addition, the most passionate I've seen you speak about a subject.
If you want to work in healthcare, be a lawyer, CPA, military officer, you have to get passed the college troll. What do we do about that?
This is incredibly amazing! I recently graduated with honors from highschool and so far highschool has taught me... NOTHING. I've always wanted something bigger in life, and I've decided to take a year off to smell the world a little bit and guess what? It's been extremely fascinating. I've learned how the real world works outside of the school walls. I'm an aspiring entrepreneur, and I've been trying to start somewhere. I am working on a project, and I hope for the best and that it goes well. However, it makes me very upset when others say "Oh you should go to college, you're too smart not to go to college ". ...But as I apply myself, what if I become too smart for college? I'm learning with my older sister on how the world " really " works. The whole school system, government system, economic system is so deceptive, and couldn't be further from the truth! I originally didn't go because I had some medical issues, but I'm pushing through. After watching this video tonight really shows me how we don't have to follow a certain system to be successful. Thankyou so much Patrick and your whole team. I'm a subscriber for life :)

Hi Patrick my name is Nuno i have 27 years old i'm from Cape Verde and i just saw in this video that some of this ideia that you show us here is some of the same ideia that i had since my 20 or 22 years old, that school don't even teach a 50% of what you will face in the real live, what is going thru in your job, relationships, money, etc..... I saw that a lot of students are in school but they don't know what they are doing there, because they got some knowledge from the school but the school don't really show you how to used in real live. I just got happy that i see that i'm not the only one who think this way . thanks and continue the great work.
+Nuno Brito 👊🏼 share this video with them. Many teachers, parents and students have changed their views about college after watching this video.
I completely agree with this Patrick. Thanks for this video and for all the others you make. I wish I watched this before I went and got a degree. What a waste of time and money. Work ethic is the most important thing for success for sure. I have a successful business of my own now that I am very grateful for but It has nothing to do with a degree and everything to do with discipline and work ethic. Watching a video from the late great Jim Rohn changed the way I looked at life. Jim Rohn youtube videos were way more valuable to me then a four year college degree. Thank You Valutainment for posting this.
I have opened 9 restaurants and been blessed with all of them. I have been in trucking as an investor and failed miserably. I have started a small business marketing company and I see my future. Patrick Bet-David is all you need. I am growing and loving life and my recommendation is to stop listening to everyone else ( or most) and focus 100% on Patrick. Thanks you Patrick... God Bless!
I dropped out college on my second year, this year. I used to live abroad from home and study in a private college. I started working in IT and got a job working from home. I could've support all my costs but I decided to help my father with family expense and use a portion of my income to start up a platform. I'm highly motivated by learning about becoming an entrepreneur and it's been 8 months I regularly watch valutainment. Thank you for teaching what real world refuses to teach us!
"Subjects to teach in college" are excellent ideas! That's education for life!
Learnt more in my first week of attempting to go out into the industry I was studying than 18 months of university. Things they never taught me how to do that are vital capabilities to survive let alone succeed in that industry.
I learnt more in the sales jobs I had for 6 years as well.
Pat, your argument is valid in certain cases. But given that we have schools that teach the kids the right lessons then the argument should be to pick the right school and not against going to college.
Colleges should consider your opinions and start implementing them for the next generation!
I disagree with the full ride. In many cases you certainly are right but I had a full-ride opportunity and I turned it down when I dropped out at 17 years old. it took a lot of very hard work to get my business going but I'm only 18 years old and I'm preparing to travel the world. By 20 years old, I will likely be speaking 3 languages and have visited at least three continents. Again, you're right and that for most people they might as well just take advantage of it, except I couldn't wait so long to be successful. Especially when you just sit around and you're bored all day and you just do the nonsense other people tell you to do. If you want to be an entrepreneur comment you have to take control of yourself and delegate your own work. You can only learn running your own business by doing it.
DoglinsShadow ohh man im 21 from dominican republic.. i would like to learn a lot from people like you.. will u help me?
Here’s a discussion we should have. I’m an accountant and I’d say I’m pretty good at it and I’ve done pretty well for myself given my age. Unfortunately, someone wanting to be a CPA must have a college degree. Even though you can buy spend the $2k on the study materials and pass the exam. This isn’t want I’m concerned about though.
So I’m helping my brother with his accounting degree and I was bored one day and asked him to send me a copy of his bill. He is finishing his last year online since it’s cheaper and his bill included fees for campus building usage, other random $40 to $80 fees, and the best one yet is a $100 late fee!! This late fee was assessed 15 days after the start of the semester. Most businesses allow 30 days to pay a bill and even they won’t charge $100 for a late fee. So I emailed the school to ask. They said they can charge up to $300 a semester for late fees. So I asked them why they charge a late fee when a student can’t register for classes for the next semester with a balance due. I’m still waiting for their reply.
So now colleges are charging late fees on top of the thousands of dollars someone has to pay for a semester. He owed $2300 plus late fee. Adding late fees makes it even harder for someone to go to college. It’s sickening.
hell yeah we have lots of parties in the military, especially in the marine corps we got Hella working parties 😂😂😂
Pat, I'm pumped, left school recently, was studying design at a community college in KC. Stayed in touch with an instructor and he sent a job to me. Took me 10 hrs and I only made $50 - however, I was more excited about getting paid to learn vs the opposite at school. The commute to school alone came to 30hrs a semester. The youtube videos I took advantage of there covered more in those hrs. than a whole semester at school. Thanks for being a virtual mentor.
Im so glad I found your youtube channel. you are very wise and helpful for young people and business people
This is the most pure and heartwarming channel on UA-cam
You make great points you always inspire me!
That is the perfect title one of the best youtube channels putting out valuable content while still entertaining me.
@Valuetainment Your videos are amazing & inspiring! So thankful I discovered your channel! Very well spoken too :)
+TRIPLEMCHIC Thanks. I'm glad you found us.....
One of the most best and information video I have ever watched. It shares such an amazing way to address so many challenges that the world is currently facing. Thank you so much Patrick. Incredible.
Exactly the same what I think.
I want to start my own company but my parents are not supporting me. They are saying that degree is very important but for me it doesn’t make any sense.
Degree is for them who need to run in the same race in which whole world is running.
Degree is for those who need jobs.
I don't want to be a job seeker I want to create jobs. And in my company I don't need anyone to have a degree to work with me.
And people who say in college you learn how to live in this world and you get experience, for those I just want to say one word "bullshit".
If anyone wants to learn how to live in a world just leave your home and same with how to get experience.
My parents don't support me than also I'm not giving up on my dreams.
If you really want to do different and make your dreams come true than you don't need to waste your time in college or getting a degree.
I totally agree with you.

😂😂😂😂😂👏 😹on point my bro
I had to drop out from my first college due to finances. I was studying music performance and I almost quit music because of it. The percussion "instructor" (if I could even call him that) was terrible and didn't teach me a thing. I take that back... He taught me how to come up with believe-able excuses on why I couldn't attend his lessons. The school also wasn't the place for me to be at. I didn't like the college from the start but I went anyways because I felt pressured by my parents into going. Every thing I did, every class I took, every book I read made me increasingly less emotionally and financially unstable. One upside is that I did make many amazing friends but I just feel that I can grow elsewhere. I do plan on going to another school, Berklee College of Music, even if its for a limited time. I feel that I can learn my craft, stretch myself as a musician, and make lifelong connections there. Thankfully it is a super specialized school where musicians can focus on their craft, become amazing musicians, and network with people from all around the world. College is definitely not for everyone but I definitely feel that given the right environment, thirst for knowledge, and effort can result in amazing things!
Thanks David !!! Valuetainment is , by far...the most informative videos I have ever watched. This video is, by far, the most important for any young person to watch. My daughter is now 15, and soon...she will be coming to that point in her life...to go, or not to go to college. Your argument is spot on. I am a retired veteran finishing my degree and starting my own business at the same time. I also work in the department creating and teaching a field of study that is directly related to my business. As part of the development, I have convinced the "higher ups" that a course in Entrepreneurship is a must have for a person to succeed in this field upon graduating. I have had the privilege of speaking with a Senator who visited my "class" and we spoke of student success in this field. Again....a course in Entrepreneurship will help solidify a person in making something of their degree....instead of accepting a "safe" mediocre job, making someone else rich. Instead of accepting a job outside of their degree field due to the job market being flooded with too many graduates applying to that position. "Give a man a fish...." Entrepreneurship will teach a man (or woman) "to fish".
By the way...Thank you for your service, to this country AND to humanity, with these videos.
Salute.....
Watching in 2019, and I wish I saw this earlier 💯
Thank you Patt
Thank you for saying something that I have been thinking for a while, I wish more people could watch this and also see this point of view in order to start some change
What really gets me is the fact you never see the accounting of where all the $$$ goes, your local school board gets from taxes. Why is it they send the kids out to raise funds for field trips, where's all the money really going, I think the taxpayers need to demand that
I think we need to fix college
I was gonna like the video, until I saw him not mention trade school in the "BEFORE YOU DROP OUT OF COLLEGE" segment. My advice is consider trade school before you plan on dropping out of university
A video from 4 years ago inspired me to take the leap, wow.
Watch me. Going to be a billionaire someday, doing what I love!
More people need to see this video! I'm still in high school but I'm already making money as an entrepreneur. I'm going to college because I want to meet people who have the same mindset and interest while having the freedom and time to learn and work on my goals. I definitely agree that you don't need a college degree to be successful, but not a lot people in my school agree with that, they are uncertain about they life and are going to college just for the degree. They all need to see this video.
This is good
Businesses just have to stop requiring degrees.
Imagine your mom sharing this to you
In India it is even worse
I'm Indian living in USA. What do u mean by this? Tell me plz
A to Z music Probably he meant about education
New York education
New York education
A to Z music hmm
I truly appreciate your video with your point of view. My 21 yo daughter will love to watch it. These are the issues that she brings to my attention. She will never drop out of college since she knows what path she wants to take and she is straight As student. My older boy that currently serves in the Navy listens to your show. He gave me a great sense of pride when I mentioned your show and he knew all about it and listening to him elaborating. Thanks for bringing such a diverse show to us.
I absolutely agree with you Pat, not because I follow you or anything, but because you are dead right on. Im a 24 year old getting my Psychology BA degree and will be doing a one year graduate certificate in Financial Planning. The BA psychology hasn't really taught me a lot but what I'm doing after that will be what I'm passionate about. One thing that my degree has taught me is DISCIPLINE and NEVER GIVING UP. believe it or not, i got kicked out from this program twice but Im naturally a fighter and with that mindset and what i have gone through to be able to finish my degree, its a real discipline. HOWEVER, one thing I would add to your arguments, is TRY DIFFERENT STUFF. I had absolutely no idea that the stock market is my passion (believe me, i have lost and made some good gains but man the experience I have learned is beyond amazing) and i just love it no matter what and that is why I want to help people plan for their future and invest smart. my goal is to have my own firm and company that revolves around this sort of thing. SO one thing I could add, is TRY DIFFERENT STUFF and you will be surprised on what opportunities you will come across that you would have never thought about. this ties in with your argument of traveling the world so yup! excuse the lack of grammar and such but I would like to tell you that I ABSOLUTELY agree with your topic and arguments. P.S I am in Canada and the cost of books and tuition is ridiculous. an average book costs around 100-125 let alone some cost well over 230+... so you do have my support on this Pat. Keep it up and lets shine a lot more on topics that DO MATTER. God bless brother. Let me know what you think about this. Cheers, Adib.
Thanks for the feedback. You make a great point with trying different stuff to find out your passion. All the best to you with starting your own financial practice one day.
+VALUETAINMENT Cheers!
Why hadn't this video have thousands of views and likes? I'm 16 yr old and I want to becoming an entrepreneur , I am on the process of building a small business and will work hard to make a huge industry
Thank you for sharing these "reality check" thoughts with us... I finally found someone who shares the same advocacy to improve the current education system.. that values integrating specifically, those subjects in real life setting like parenting and preparing younger ones on aiming to be a "prepared lifetime spouse and role model parents for a better world tomorrow". I'm pursuing additional units in teaching now, precisely to pursue that goal in my available capacity as I look forward to take part in the solution I wish to see. I will really appreciate your mentorship and hope we can work hand in hand to make our advocacies a reality in our respective countries. I agree that much can be accomplished when done with a team with a growth and finisher mentality. Thank you for your hard work in making worthwhile videos...truly appreciated!!!! Hope to hear from you soon.- AHA,7/30/2017
I am 17 and am not interested in going to college i am very hungry to become an entrepreneur and with the internet i have discovered a lot of other ways that people can start a business through mentorship and i think going this route for me is a better opportunity than going through the system doing something i would not enjoy and not have the same drive for, even if i get judged and criticized i know i can make it work
Now you should be 20....and I m 17😂 advise me what to do for same situation btw I live in 3rd world country.
@Anthony Garcia
My son shared this video with me :-) so thank you for very interesting and well put summary of our education system in general. I'm concur with most of the points that you outlined in this video. I will probably extend the list to why not to drop out of college by additional reason: "Immigration"- If immigration to another country is likely event during the life time, then having degree will help to find new job in new country and make this process of immigration much easier. In addition the army argument for self discipline is applicable just in few specific countries, I know few countries where I will never send my son to the army in.
My parents and relatives are talking me out of it, I'm sure and damn well my idea and passion will work. I wana die sometimes, I want to drop out of college to focus in my work but they keep forcing me cause they "know" its going to be good for me (it's not).
not sure about my decision, still a high school student but I think I will pursue my youtube dream!
People go to college just to become a troll on the internet for 17 thou a year
I love valuetainment
HOMESCHOOLING is the way!
😂😂😂😂
I dropped out of high school, got money for college (joined the army) and now I've been considering dropping out of college, but at the same time I kind of want to take advantage of the ability to learn whatever I want while I can
Dropped out, retired @ 32. Do your work.
I think that all of education, not just college, and even our culture needs reform. These ideas for college that you propose should be common place throughout all of life. As for what I would do for education, I would say keep elementary and middle school the same but change high school to be about learning life skills and finding what one loves to do and college should be about honing said love.
Good point.
***** Thanks
In Canada my school all profs have to have a business if they teach business classes
A few days ago I discovered you. I am so impressed with your videos. You are super sharp. Thank you. I have been a business owner for 30 years. I am a Legal Latina that really loves America. I bet the colleges are not happy with you. You are so correct about everything.
I agree that if you hard worker and smart ass fox you don't have to go to college if you know what you want from life and if you do what it takes to succed!
this video is priceless. and now that i know about it i would actually pay for it to rewatch, especially the knew subjects he mentioned at the end.
