Is College Worth It In 2024?

Is college worth it these days? In my honest opinion...no! If you're wondering, "Should I go to college or university"? In this video I explain why I think college is too risky of a bet to be taking. It's a waste of money and in my opinion, college is a scam. The world have changed a lot and I strongly believe that it is no longer the best strategy. The best strategy these days is something that allows you to be flexible.

My advise is to drop out of college only if you know what you will do with your life

[maeful]

Community college is also way less expensive than other universities!! If you don’t know where to go, and feel the pressure to go to college, I would start with that.

[freedomprotector]

I dropped out, joined the Air Force for 4 years and got certified to be an Air Traffic Controller. Got out and i’m at a mid-high level International Airport making $200k a year.

This is not for everyone but for me it set me up for success and i’m only 25.

In my case, going to college was a no-brainer. I'm doing my PhD in engineering, because I think you really can't go wrong with a strong base in math, physics, chemistry, biology, and programming. Plus, I want to be a professor in my field, which demands a PhD, lots of research experience, and high impact publications and patents. Plus, it's more than just the money: getting to work in a field I'm passionate about for the rest of my life? I can't ask for more.

Meh, I went to college, put in work in my career and made good decisions and have had plenty of experiences as the dude on the right. Don’t let this stuff fool you. Not everyone who drops out or skips college is going to be a baller, just like not everyone who wants to be an “influencer” will gain a following.

Go to college if you want to do something in medicine, law, engineering, or anything government/public sector related (accounting, law enforcement, finance, nonprofit, public administration). Those are pretty bulletproof jobs.

[purplefangs]

Guys he's not necessarily encouraging people to drop out, it's beneficial to have a good education and get qualifications. HOWEVER it's also beneficial to adapt to the changing job market and pick up skills wich will increase your chances of making a good income and having a good work life balance. This isn't a this or that question, you can do both.

[smoothcriminal]

Certain jobs like medicine, engineering, law, require a full university degree. And statistics show that mean income for people with masters is greater than those with just bachelors, who have it greater than those who never went to college. And in some places like Europe & South Asia, most universities including the best ones are publically-funded.

Bro beat the system


(Can he beat goku tho?)

[withered]

I hate how some people in these comments are justt hating on the video just because they think he is just trying to tell you to quit school and invalidating degrees, 1. He's not, hes just saying that for some people it may be a better option due to the field their trying to get in (that is, if your doing it for money) and how competitive and rapidly evolving the job market will be in the future, 2. There are many degrees that will always be needed in the near future such as doctors, teachers, STEM in most cases, etc. Chill. 3. This is targetted to people who are in highschool / middleschool and will go into a future job market that will look different to the one now, what may have worked for you may not work for them. 4. This doesnt factor much in of what you may care about degrees but the profit and applied skills you gain afterwards. Go talk about intelligence, enjoyment or motivation elsewhere.

you dropped out because your youtube grew. If it didn’t u would still stay in school

[Mr.JoeBangles]

The only way college is worth it for the vast majority of people is if you go to a reasonably priced school, do everything humanly possible to minimize education debt, major in some type of STEM/engineering/medical program and network like crazy as a student. Anything else is a waste of money.

[ZhenjaMax]

As Russian, if I drop university then I'll be forced to join the Russian Army

So there're other points to throw away many years

[colorfulshow]

Whoever is reading this, I pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re battling with makes your situation better as you’re continuing to be a better person each day. I have faith that you’ll turn out great as your circumstances will change. Have a fantastic day! You got this! 🤗💪🏼❤😍🥰

[ryanpmcguire]

There’s an interesting counterargument that I’m considering. Sure, you can learn everything on your own. Textbooks can be obtained for free. There is more than enough free information to get the equivalent of a full education in whatever field you want.

You can learn it all on your own time. But will you?

[ji-wonseong]

If your parents are forcing you to go to college, DON'T! RUN AWAY AND PACK YOUR BAGS!! I made the mistake of listening to them!

[CesarM]

What a joke, maybe talk to college graduates and try community college first

[mhtmht]

The importance of college depends on your career goals

[davidhlavac]

Totaly agree. Studying university was the biggest misstake in my life. Not to mention the insane amount of stress a difficult university brings on the table.

[paulsmith]

To create things that make the creators of it or replaces humans who depend on work to thrive and survive and not everyone can work on computers is insanity unto itself.pandoras box is open, time will tell.
