It's refreshing to hear someone admit that his success wasn't solely based on his hard work but that the bar was lower and allowed for more people to develop their human potential.

If employers complain there is a shortage of trained workers, train more people. Dude makes sense.

[CensoredMercy]

the older generation no longer care about creating a better world that only their children will experience, instead exploit it as much as you can before you go

[vincem]

I’m glad he admitted to NOT being qualified yet still got an opportunity for school.

[chadshumake]

Finally someone who understands the issues through and through. Scott needs way more airtime.

[michaelhowell]

Realness, intelligence and anger. It wells up beautifully in this man. It gives me hope

[requisitewhim]

Scott Galloway is THE model of leadership we need in the world.

[glassglowz]

Finally someone is clearly articulating the rot in society.

This guy is a rockstar. I met him last month at his book signing. Few people speak this much truth.

As a person that has a Masters license in Plumbing, I want to point out a number of states require 4 years of schooling at night, along with 4 years of 8 hours a day working to just become a Journeyman plumber. This also true of a number of trades. We don't just show up and are trained on the job and i hope Scott Galloway understands this. The reason it takes 4 years, is there is a lot to learn both in school and in field working. One of the greatest blessings that has been for working in a trade, is can fix 95% of any issues in my home. I really like Scott take on where we are going. Average age of a tradesman is 45. If people think plumbers are expensive now, wait until there is the work force has shrunk more and the cost of labor has really gone up. Average journeyman plumber is making between $40 to $60 per hour depending on the state they work.

My college tuition was raised by $5, 000 during my time as a student. I pressed them time and time again to release the budget because they removed extra-circulars, but didn't add any new programs. They told me as a private university they didn't need to release any finances. It was incredibly frustrating.

I’m 33 and I feel like I’ve gained more insight into what the wealthy are doing and why in the last hour, watching Scott Galloway speak across various videos, than I have in the last 20 years of listening to politicians consistently distract people with misdirection and lies. Bravo Scott.

A boomer that actually cares about future generations is a rare sight.

[MrMorokiatt]

Mr Galloway has it right. We need to make things easier for young people and encourage a better future for them. Im 72, and my kids have done well, but I see many that arent. Those who don't succeed in life only cost us in heartbreak, grief, and loads of money. Whats wrong with thinking about our young people for a change.

[SantiagoRomero-crkv]

He's actually a professor I would be happy to have if I were to study marketing in college

[wowticktockwow]

My man here admitting that it's an intergenerational / class centric conflict of interest in the western world today. He's saying the quiet part out loud and should absolutely be lauded for having the courage to do so.

[The.world.has.gone.crazy...]

I am 42 and finally able to buy a house becouse the cost is so big compared to my parents generation. I am even saving extra for my children so they can buy a house later in life. This man is spot on. Much respect from western Europe.

[eldonphukuile]

I’m South African, now living in Canada. Scott Galloway is becoming my new HERO!

[Remcore]

He hits the nail on the head. I dropped out of school at 17 and started working. It took me approximately 10 years to get to the same level as my peers who went to college. However I have no debt, which enabled me to buy a house where a lot of people I know struggle. I feel I do not have much to look forward to in the future just like the rest of my generation. We have all been told go to college to win at life, yet most college graduates work mediocre jobs for mediocre pay and people who actually learned a trade get paid much better due to simple supply and demand. The world needs mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, nurses. We cannot live in a world of just doctors and lawyers.

I hope it will get better but I am quite confident things will get much worse before they get better

This is the kind of perspective we need to bring to the table. It encourages discussion across the aisle.
