PLEASE READ --> Hi everyone, this is a completely different video than normal. Videos will resume back to normal on Monday with an EPIC video by Simon Sinek. I want to explain that College is a perfect solution to many, however to others it may not be a good fit. For myself, it was perfect, for one of my good friends, it wasn't a good fit. If you are currently in college, do not rely on that the piece of paper that you receive at the end to get you far, it is your own commitment and perseverance that will get you far. College is one of the best places on earth to develop networking connections with fellow students and professors, as well as create experiences that are extremely valuable. I want to emphasise that you don't need to go to the best and most expensive school to get the best education or be successful. My advice is to BECOME INVOLVED, make friends with as many people as possible, help others, and be true to yourself. I REPEAT, this is not a video saying that College is useless, but rather we put too much emphasis on a piece of paper, thinking that a degree is going to catapult us to great success. Make the most out of your time, go out there and make connections with other people, and take risks!

Studying and learning are two different things. School rewards the best students, life rewards the best learners.

I'd be retiring or working less in 5 years and I'm only curious how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments?? I earn around $165K per year but nothing to show for it yet

Learning is actually fun when it's something you want to learn.

"College isn't a school anymore, It's a business."

[pappleseed]

The point of this video is NOT to disregard learning, it is to show that you do not need a piece of paper to show how useful you are, you just simply prove it by doing amazing things.

As a college freshman, the thing I've learned is that college isn't meant for everyone. I walked into college thinking I'd be taught the career pathway skill of my choice right away, but instead it's just highschool with a ridiculously expensive payload. My dad keeps telling me that freshman year is the hardest year of college because it's basically them testing you to see if you're dedicated enough to get to the skill you wish to learn, but if I'm gonna have to earn the right to be taught the skill I want, then college isn't for me.

My math teacher in college once said "It's a pity that I have to give you grades for tests. I bet without the stress, you'd learn so much more in my class and enjoy it."

Edit: I know it's been over a year, but holy cow, thank you everybody for the comments and likes.

It’s not the degree that gets your job, it’s your skills and most importantly connections.

Edit: Your degree will open the door to new opportunities, but in the end it comes down to you. My advice is to start networking in your field of interest before you even start college.

"Never let school get in the way of your education."

[jasmineg]

School teaches you how to be a good employee/ to work for money. School doesn’t teach you how to make money/ make money work for you.

[jmc]

Listen, I don’t like college either. Actually I’ll might drop out after this semester. However it is easy to hear this one in a million stories from millionaires and billionaires.
So before making a decision, take step back and analyze all the pros and cons and try to see yourself in 5 years .

Good luck to everyone!

When you stop learning, you get left behind . Never stop educating yourself

For business 100 % true. For other professions like doctors, lawyers etc. a solid understanding of their craft is essential.

Literally all humanity needs is a bit of school, the basics, the rest is live, and have faith.
