'I Told You Something is Coming & Now It's Here...' | Victor Davis Hanson

Special thanks to Victor Davis Hanson

Are universities failing students and society? In this video, Victor Davis Hanson discusses the current state of higher education. He argues that universities are churning out graduates burdened with massive debt and insufficient skills, contributing to a national crisis.

Hanson explains how the push for diversity and equity has led to the dilution of academic standards and the devaluation of degrees. Many young people, especially men, are not marrying, buying houses, or having children, partly due to the financial strain of student debt. Hanson suggests that universities should be transparent about the true costs and potential earnings of different degrees and should take responsibility for student loan defaults.

He also highlights the problem of universities rejecting highly qualified students to meet diversity quotas, leading to a decline in the quality of graduates. Employers are now favoring graduates from less prestigious schools because they are better trained and less entitled. Hanson calls for a revolutionary movement in education to prioritize practical skills and accountability, moving away from the current system that prioritizes credentials over competence.

It's not higher education, it's higher indoctrination.

My Grandfather told me to learn a trade, so I skipped furthering my education and became an auto mechanic. I have no regrets and have a healthy income.

When my son decided to be a Trim Carpenter I was thrilled. He is self sufficient, has 3 great kids and a supportive wife. He made over 150k last year and is thriving! That is the American Dream.

I'm a licensed electrician. My kids are grown and all work. I'm happily single, debt free and work whenever I want. Blessed.

It's unbelievable that 22 year Olds emerge from college with a totally useless degree and saddled with $100, 000 debt to get said useless degree.

i'm 57 yr old female.
i worked in an office job for 12 years. i got laid off. i was 32 yrs old. i took a career assessment test and i scored higher in technology. i decided i wanted to be an electrician. IBEW in my city was accepting applications. i took a math class to prepare. took the apprenticeship test. had to have a live interview. i got accepted. i am not a feminist. i found something i liked to do and went for it. i loved the work. such a sense of accomplishment when you see the fruits of your work. and i never had any sexual harassment from the guys. there were all great and helpful. at the time i got in, there were some women, but not very many. totally different now. now they've got many with the toxic feminazi mentality..all that 'girl boss'.. 'woman hear me roar' nonsense. so glad i'm away from all that.

College is for becoming an engineer, doctor, lawyer, most everything else is a waste of money. Like my dad told me, learn a trade and you'll always make a good living. He was absolutely correct

[marksamuelsen]

When I got out of the USAF I used the GI Bill to go College and after 2 semesters I quit. Went into Flight Training and flew professionally for 30+ years made a decent living and got married and now have 2 daughters that are in their early 30's and are happily married. I'm now 71yo and if I pass away tonight I will meet our God, shake his hand with a smile on my face.

We stopped hiring college grads a year ago, instead we select bright applicants and train them individually according their job description…..so far so good

[RonGoldman-sg]

Victor Davis Hansen is one of the most brilliant minds of our time.

[davidrichardson]

The money university’s charge now is off the wall. Students are now being mis sold - don’t ask us workers to pay for someone else’s education- NO

[Whatfer]

I'm glad that I was born in the middle of the last century. Everything is going downhill fast from my perspective.

I used a God Given gift of Painting houses. I did it 36yrs. I enjoyed watching my crew raise their kids and loved to see them succeed. We graduated high school is about all but we could paint like nobody else and we showed up every morning

[darylfoster]

People could get a degree in two years instead of four if they took only the classes required for their major. You're forced to take two years of fluff in order to line the pockets of the college bureaucracy.

[whatwhat]

The diversity needed on campus is diversity of thought.

[douglasskinner]

I've been saying for over 30 years the same thing; a major problem in America is that too many people have gone to college.

[rosssiren]

The Universities should be held accountable.

[ryanwolf]

I was in a work co-op program in high school in the nineties. Went to school part time and then went to work full time. I graduated from high school with a career, experience, and licenses (training and testing paid by my employer) to operate water treatment plants for a major city. After twenty-five years I retired and started drawing my pension and took off a year to remodel my home. Now I am back to work for them. I'm debt free, own properties and re-investing my pension all the while building up a new pension and NO COLLEGE!

[johnm.robertssr.]

I quit high school when I was 16 and my father said that I couldn't join the carpenter's union until I had my GED . It took me 21/2 months then I joined the union . Now I'm 64 years old semi retired own an old house on 5 acres 3 investment properties and it's all payed for not 1 mortgage . My wife and I have an 1/2 acre garden and a freezer full of deer meat. We are doing pretty good not really needing anything . Over the years I have found that Educated people have little to no common sense . It's our children and grandchildren we worry about .

My son said to me " Mom I want to be my own boss" so he went to Barber school. Doing very well.
