I think there’s a huge misconception about finding your calling. Life isn’t a Disney movie where you just follow your heart. Your calling will not fall on your lap. You have to go out and try different things to find out what you enjoy or what you’re good at. One of the most important things that a mentor told me after I graduated high school is: “You don’t have to know what you’re meant to do, just don’t stop moving until you find it.”

To young folks... Its ok to live in uncertainty! You dont have to make a decision when you havent gotten it figured out. You're not a failure. Go at your own pace. The High School to College pipeline scam should collapse. No way the world should be pressuring 17 & 18 year olds to make a choice that vast majority of them arent ready to make. The way a lot of highschool educators and counsellors are complicit & often get rewarded for encouraging that pressure. Also most parents dont get how much of a scam it is, especially those from immigrant backgrounds. Haram!

I feel robbed on a daily basis. Like I’m paying to be stressed out and the professors are basically like “Welp get used to it, the real world is stressful.” Also, the fact that I still had to spend 4 years in college dispute coming into college with a little over a semester’s worth of credits. The Gen. Ed they tack on is CRAZY. I feel like the way colleges are ran will change because they won’t be able to get away with this crazy shit if less people are interested in going to college.

Im so glad this video came out when it did. My parents are immigrants, and you absolutely hit the head on the nail of the coffin with what I’ve had to deal with. I accumulated 30k of debt, being forced to pursue something that I didn’t want for myself and I finally decided to just leave school. I even got kicked out of the house for making the decision i made, but I’m so glad I’m not alone in having to experience this or feel this way. I currently have all of my stuff in my car and I’m moving down south with a friend. It’s definitely going to be the hardest life has ever been, but I’m glad it’ll be on my terms.

I have a 17 year old son who knew that college wasn’t his jam; he just doesn’t enjoy school that much. Instead, he has decided he wants to go to a trade school to learn blacksmithing. I’m beyond proud of him for avoiding the same trap that I fell into. I spent years and years in college, I have $60K in student debt, and for the past 20 years I’ve worked in a job that doesn’t use my degree at all. Funny, I recall my professors in college telling us how in-demand we were going to be and how we would be able to name our price and pick and choose our jobs - it was all lies. Learn a trade, kids.

Though I may go back and get an associates degree I think people fail to understand the difference between entry level pay and potential earnings after you've been in an industry for 3 or 4 years. There can be a significant difference between the two. I also think people need to take time to consider how much the lifestyle they desire to live this going to cost. The lifestyle I want to live doesn't necessarily require me to ever make $100,000 a year so I don't really have to make a killing. Lifestyle choice and the location someone decides to live in are usually major factor that should be considered when it comes to what kind of earnings they pursue.

So I've done university twice now. First time I was 19 and was academically expelled because, like you guys said, I was young and a mess. I had severe social anxiety and depression and zero life skills. My room was consistently disgusting, I could hardly feed myself, I almost never had fresh clothes and I almost never left my dorm room. I was absolutely fucked. Luckily, because I was only in for a year the debt was negligible. However, my parents weren't so understanding. They basically said "heres the last thing we'll do for you as a child" handed me an application for the Navy and gave me a year to move out. 10 years and a 7 year stint in the Navy later I'm now on my second go at Uni. I'm on the deans list with straight A's. My room is small (I live with 3 roomies to keep costs low) but immaculate and well kept. I eat well, exercise routinely and I've been through enough counseling to deal with my social anxiety. Although my social life is pretty non-existent right now due to school and working part time, I know I now have the tools to make connections when the time comes. I have no debt and because of my time in the military I will attain my degree with money to spare. I suppose in all I'm just trying to say for any of the young guys who might be reading this: you can change. You will fail in life and you will fail hard. But these failures don't need to define you and you have the ability to pick yourself up and overcome who you were. Stay strong young bros, I love you guys.

There’s also, this false confidence when you learn from “4hours to learn C++” video, just because you’re able to “copy” from a video doesn’t mean you can code on your own well for example.

@@Klobanob I think you don't really have a full understanding of what a degree in Fine Arts is. Those jobs just a general pelo unless you hit it big and sometimes people choose their passion over marketability which is fine. We treat education as if it's some sort of capitalistic exploit when it isn't and it doesn't have to be. People go into Fine Arts because some people's goal is to be a fine arts teacher or to be an academic or historian of Fine Arts or to work in the Fine Arts industry for entertainment industry. It's not just them selling art so I think you don't have a full understanding of what the jobs are in that field in the first place

The success/happiness rate of college graduates would be much higher if college wasn't pushed at 18. I think you should enter college at like 23-25. I started at 18 and: 1. I should have went to a community college for the first two years (general ed is basically the same no matter where you go but the cost at a community college is like 20% of the cost of a big University), 2. I had no idea what I wanted to do/be and 3. Didn't have the maturity/life lessons to even start trying to figure out my career at that age. It's a joke that a 17 year old is seen as a kid that doesn't know anything but when you turn 18 you're an adult that has to plan/figure out the career you want for the rest of your life to be successful? I got a Communications degree after switching from a Finance major cause I didn't like it and thought I'll have more "creative" jobs with this Comms major. Fast forward 12 years I work in the Finance sector (surprise, surprise) and love it while other Comms majors I know are sales driven careers and I HATE sales (worked as a sales banker for 3-4 years before I got the job I have now). I wish I could start college later in life cause I think I would have been more successful in obtaining that finance degree for a much higher paying 9-5 job. Now I'm not saying I didn't learn anything with this degree and didn't gain value, but I think I wouldn't have had to play the catch up game if starting later in school to gain some life experience. But then again, I consider myself one of the lucky ones. Others not so much.

Stop trying to race through college, you americans keep stressing yourselves out too much." Took the entire following semester off. Needed it to just get out of that massive ditch that was just being burnt out.

Yeah, I see where you're coming from but that wouldn't work for American society. If you start college at 23-25, you're almost 30 when you graduate (more if you need grad school or an advanced degree like for doctor, lawyer, etc). That would mean you don't become established in your career until you're almost 40. As I mentioned in a separate post, I realized early on that the first two years of university are a huge scam because you're not learning what you want to learn which is why I had my niece circumvent the whole thing (GED to community college to university). A bigger problem is that a large number of degrees are worthless when you consider how limited the market is for the skillset they teach. If you're graduating with 200k in debt, an Art History degree is not likely to pay for itself like a Finance or Accounting degree will. And yet people still pursue these dead end degrees and wind up drowning in debt they can't pay off.

Making the government pay for it doesn't solve the corrupt structure that has more administrators than actual teachers, or solve the fact that most people don't even enter a profession in their degree's field. High tuition prices are a DIRECT result of student loans from the government. Artificially low interest rates and they give em out to anyone. Meaning, universities can charge whatever the fuck they want, because they know anyone can go 100k in debt to pay for it if you convince them they "need" to. With private loans, where the ones giving you money have a vested interest in making a return, don't give out massive loans to anyone and everyone. Tuition inflation to this degree wouldn't be possible without government loans. Government paying for it is exactly the issue. Supply and demand. Typically cost is a prohibitive to endless demand as not everyone can afford any price. This sort of thing causes what's called downward pressure on prices. Gotta try and keep your product affordable if you want customers. Introduce government loans and now anyone can go 100k in debt regardless of their likelihood to pay it back. Guess now what the university charges for their degree? Ironically I spent an entire semester working on a report about the above before I decided to drop out. Persuaded myself it was a waste of money. 2x drop out. High school and college

My brother and girlfriend kind of opened my eyes about college. For a while after I graduated, I always wanted to persue college because I wanted to make my parents proud. I knew college debt was an issue with a lot of people and I come from a family of low income and I would be a first generation college student in my entire family. So for a while, I had a lot of pressure on me. There's one side of me that's saying "Finish your school, finish college and get that degree and make your entire family proud!" Then there's the other side of me saying "No, don't do it, you're fresh out of high school with no idea of what you want to do in life or even major in when in college. So don't give yourself unnecessary debt!" My girlfriend got her degree recently, but she's almost $40k in debt and still isn't sure of what she wants to do in life and she regrets going to college and being in debt for a degree she probably won't use. My brother is a senior in high school and one time he told me, "When they showed us all these amazing colleges and all the positives of going to college and getting a degree, I wondered, what about the negatives? I'm hearing only good things, but where are the bad things? Nothing is only ever good. Besides, I don't want to put myself in debt. I'll go when I'm ready and know what I want to do."

Women will NEVER date down, it doesn't matter if it's their only option, because it's not, they would rather share a high value man, or be alone for their entire lives. This is the present and the future. This bubble will burst and I have no idea what comes after that, but likely a return to a more traditional culture, mainly because the only people having kids are more traditionally minded individuals, the modern lifestyle will go extinct because they aren't having children.

Sometimes patents want to live through their children. Maybe that mum had a dream she could not fulfill for herself, maybe studying to become a lawyer, whatever, with the prestige and money that comes with it, because of ability or opportunity or discipline, etc. Then, when the child has a different dream, the mom loses it and yells and belittles, to manipulate the kid back into what the mum wants in the first place! It's possible, isn't it? Also, and this is maybe not a nice thing to say publicly, but it is the truth, sometimes there are patents, who DO NOT have the best intentions on their minds for their children! They are thinking of, if the child does this or gets into this, that would benefit them! Not everyone's life is a Disney movie...

I took the year off to launch my LLC and venture in entrepreneurship and business at 21, and by the looks of it, I won’t be going back to school anytime soon. Law school and being an attorney just seemed more unlikely as I advanced through my bachelors degree. My advice to young men is use college to your benefit as a leg up in life. Strive for a degree that offers you a clear pathway to success as transparent and as quick as possible. Don’t waste your young years as an able-bodied young man sitting in a classroom for the sake of the experience, doing it for your parents, or succumbing to peer-pressure. Personally, I view college as a means to get a leg up in society for somewhat established adults who have the capital to do so. Otherwise, find yourself, travel, become the best version of yourself, and explore options outside of the standard 4-year degree. Y’all stay safe and blessed 🙏🏽

I waited until I was ready and made the choice to go to college myself, and now I'm double majoring in math and physics. You can start college at any age: 30, 40, 50, it does not fucking matter whenever you're mentally and economically ready. if you don't want to go to college that's fine too.

I often feel that paying that much for college is just a trap to keep the lower class of people here working in America tbh. Like who really has 100k-150k to drop on a degree right out of high school? Definitely not many. You get pressured to get a degree, go into debt, and then hope to find a job in your field in order to pay back the school. That’s if you’re lucky. Worst case you end up in a dead end job way outside your field and now you owe soo much for a degree you aren’t even using. Not to mention the stress that comes along with having that kind of burden.

When they want more they can do so while paying them. The older folks teach them coding, amination, how to make apps, as another skill set to work. So there are many paths and and options without taking your soul into debt so you can be stuck in a rat race for the rest of your life

Being younger I wasn't fully aware of the situation at hand with how most degrees and the process of earning and finding work with just a bachelors can easily be a trap. If you are about to graduate highschool, I highly recommend taking a year or two off to work and save up, and then either decide for a trade or start with 2 years of community college. When I started college at 18 I was so indecisive and wasted time and money. Even though I am only 21 I definitely know myself more than when I was 18 and have actual life experience from being on my own for years. If I got to redo college I wouldve had a much more mature and goal oriented mindset and seen college for what it actually is (for higher education for specific jobs) than believing it was a "coming of age and freedom experience"

College graduate here. Here's my take: -Higher education is a great experience. Met some great people, learned a fair bit about myself and my field. It's something I wish everyone COULD experience. That said... -It needs to be at least affordable and ideally free. The cost is utterly atrocious. It just straight up isn't worth it. Like payin $1000 for a video game that you've only seen trailers of and you have no idea if it'll be good or not. -Only go if you know what you wanna do. I suggest doing a semester or go to a community college to get gen eds out of the way (which is bull, I went to high school for that...), and spend that time doing electives you have some interest in. Then choose your major based on what you loved most. DO NOT start your education beyond gen eds until you know your major. It just isn't affordable to be clueless. -The fact most colleges don't actually have a semester dedicated to finding you a job is a joke. It's what many people go there for lol. More colleges need a system that tries to set you up better. But many colleges just say "Do the schoolwork, and good fuckin luck!" I was clueless how to get the job itself. Worst part of college imo. -Not every field needs college. A healhy amount prefer quality of work or experience. Study the field you want before going in. All in all, college is an incredible experience most people shouldn't have because the cost and risk is far too great. Sucks.

It's amazing to me that at this point they are allowed to charge as much as they do for degrees in things like dance, art, music, and a good chunk of social work and psychology. I know so many people that have degrees in those fields that have done absolutely nothing besides loathe over the debt while working the same type of job they would have gotten before they spent 4+ years and tens of thousands of dollars in college.

I totally relate to Aba when he talked about immigrant parents and breaking their kids. I took a break from college because I was cracking under all the pressure being put on me to succeed, especially as the first born son and second oldest of three kids. I felt like (especially with my dad) I couldn't really talk about how my mental state was doing in college with crap professors, an overwhelming workload, and other pressures that were weighing on me. I did eventually decide on pursing a career in comp sci but I really wish someone would have sat me down and told me that I really don't just have to jump into college right out of high school and to just take some time to really figure out what you want to do. Would have save me a lot of time, stress, and money.

Oh I definitely agree. My family is Kenyan and the only professions that seem to exist are doctor, lawyer or engineer. I was thrown into University and into a biology major on the premed track because I ofcourse had to become a doctor. I mean I ended up changing to majoring in just respiratory therapy but it was difficult dealing with the pressure as I am the first born and the first in my family to be raised in the US (not even born here). Complaining about any stress about school is not allowed cause it’s like African people don’t believe in mental health. Man I often wondered if all this school just to end up in a stressful job is worth it. I’m happy that I chose to focus on RT instead of taking the path to med school that my folks were pushing me to

I graduated high school in 2000 and people constantly pushed me toward college, but I never really went. I had started playing with computers in the late 90s and had a few jobs from 2001-2006, but none of them were full time. It wasn’t until 2007 when I was making 65k a year that I went to the community college to fill the calculus shaped hole in my life that I now call “6 credits of recreational math”. I tell people who want to do what I did that they don’t have to go to school. The path is not assured and there’s a lot of wondering if things will work out, but the path of getting a degree is just as fraught. I joke now that it only took me 20 years of struggling to be an overnight success.

I think men will be increasingly going into the trades, IT, and sales. None of these require a university degree proper, and the salaries or wages can be very competitive. There are new ways to learn and there are more industry certifications these days. Even some soft-skills dominated industries, like project management, host their own certifications without need for a university degree. They may spend some time buggering in their 20s, however, they may find meaningful work or get a degree in their 30s.

You're bang on when you say college/university for the longest time was just "the thing to do" out of high school (that was certainly my parents' expectation). Thankfully, that social mindset is finally shifting, and I'm very curious how it will change society a few decades from now.
