I'm living at my parents now, pets are at another relatives (and miserable) & I'm wrestling with whether to go to school and become a nurse to honour the memory of my grandfather (stage 4 cancer) or sticking with my dream of writing and teaching yoga. It's not a sob story. It's not worse than anybody's else.... It's just my shit, right now. I'm happy to see that people care about this stuff.

Working is stressful too but in a different way. In college, you set your own schedule. For working, you have to wake up early everyday, you can't party every night in a 8-5 job. You have to go to work or else they will fire you. In college, there is stress, but I had more free time usually during winter and summer. No such thing at a job. Im kind of glad I went through college. I stayed up late many nights to study for finals and spent many hours in a computer lab. It was definitely good memories because you will most likely never experience these types of things again once you start working so I suggest you stay in college. College is only 4 years of your life while working is 30+ years.

@@LivingLyfelikeaMuffin But what about when college absolutely makes you miserable! Some people have the privilege of taking breaks during college, but others have to work every hour they can get because they need to start paying off their massive loans on top of studying and stressing over grades all the time. College is such a financial risk. You're told nothing will let you make money unless it's being a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. But what if you can't handle the courses? Then would you risk paying for 4 years to earn a degree that has a higher chance of ending up useless, like psychology or english? Risk upon risk upon risk. And unavoidably misery. The college can dismiss you, too. I'm in engineering, and if I fail or drop from a class twice, I get booted. I wish I could find it in myself to work myself to the bone to pass every class, but I'm only human. I've failed two classes already but managed to pass the 2nd time. But I'm sick of that cycle. And I'm sick of college. But I have so many people around me who are so against me giving up college. I feel trapped.

I spoke about not going to college/university and encouraged the students to rethink their education and career. Well, the look on the teacher's face was priceless.

@Taylan T I have to be honest but I literally have no choice but to go to university. There is no actual way for me to not go, nor is there is a good enough reason to go. The only way is to try building an online business. I'm acc gonna try something like KZbin, cos that's the best way I can think of, to prove to my parents I am more responsible and mature than they think. I'm 17 n I do feel like I am given freedom but what my parents expect of me, I feel like they wont see me meeting their expectations. Once I meet them they have new expectations. Idk I feel like university will somewhat give me freedom and help me build a new sense of maturity and responsibility. But I agree with all the points in this video. Its a rlly confusing road tbh. I just rlly want u to understand that not everyone has that choice in the way u think.

In my senior year of high school I didn't apply for college. My boyfriend at the time convinced me I should go to the 2 year institution he was going to. from then on I felt like I was never good enough and even transferred to a 4 year college, which I dropped out of after 1 semester. all in all, I'm right back where I started when I graduated high school. same job, same living situation, same dreams and aspirations... All of that college stuff ended up kind of just detaching myself from who I thought I was and I went though a lot of self loathing and confusion whereas before, when I had come freshfaced out of high school...I fucking loved myself. I had so much self love, and it all just kind of dwindled away when I decided to join my peers in the rat race. So definitely consider taking a gap year or a few and really care for yourself and find yourself. or if you dont want to do that, I would still recommend a 2 year institution where you can get an associates and it's a lot less risky because it's super cheap. I'm about to finish an associate in science which was a pretty basic, preparatory major for transfering and applying towards a bachelors degree. But I wish I didnt think that I had to get a bachelors degree or I was worthless. I wish someone had told me that it's not true and I dont need that to be worth something. Getting a bachelors degree in order to gain some sort of worth will probably only end up being a nightmare experience.

If you don’t know exactly what you want to study, don’t go to college. No ifs, ands, or buts. There’s no age limit to going to college, you have time. Get a full time job, maybe become a plumber and make $45,000 as an 18 year old. By the time you’re peers get out of college, you’ll be making almost $60,000 per year. You don’t have to be a plumber, I’m just giving you an example. But just know that if you ever want to go to college, you’ll definitely have the money, maturity, and experience to do it. If it doesn’t work out, so what? You can go back to your secure job and make lots of money with zero debt to pay off (assuming you’re smart with your expenditures). That’s it. I’m trying to tell you that there are an infinite number of options other than college straight out of college.

I felt the same way when I was 17. I barely ended up graduating high school cuz I hated it.

Sometimes you don’t know what you want at 17 but later on you will figure it out! I recommend living on your own for at least a year to really get a glimpse of what life is like.

From the perspective of a US citizen, who went to college starting at age 24: I will say the ROI has not been substantial... I'm speaking for myself now, but I studied computer science: one of the most in demand disciplines on the job market. I was estranged to find out employers want much more than a CS degree from their potential candidates, they wanted real-world experience, which it seems college gave me none of. I got the basics of computer programming in college, but my growth has come from arduous practice of the discipline over and over.... and after 2 years of finishing my degree I'm finally landing my first software developer job, not because of my degree, but because I can actually build stuff now. College is a business much like anything else, and unfortunately marketing tailors towards people's weaknesses in alot of cases. What's our weakness in college marketing? Fear.

[@samo6401]

If you got the scholarships aka the good grades and stuff, sure, ill give you it. If you dont have the financial backing of that, you cant tell me you have the money to cover tuition but not enough to start a business or whatnot. Thats just not possible. If you mean to take out massive loans to go, youre a fool. All that said, there are skills you can learn online that if you put in the massive effort, you can freelance for a substantial price starting for free or less than $50 (Digital marketing, Ux design, programming, if you have a decent camera then brand cinematography, theres more). Shit, i mean if you really want to make this basic, hunker down with your parents if theyll let you, get a minimum wage job, keep your expenses as low as possible, and in a few months you should have enough to start a business. If your parents wont allow you to, get some roomates and split rent for a while. It doesnt take a stupid amount of money for most businesses. Get a job that you can bike to or at most have to take the bus or metro for, so you dont have to get a car and pay installments or gas or insurance. Lets say you earn $8 an hour. If you work for 40 hours a week, you make $320 a week, which is $1280 a month. Minus 15% on taxes (which might get wiped based on your income, but lets include them just for the thought) and minus lets say $150 for those work bonuses youre forced to pay for (in some jobs) , and you have $1280 - $342. Lets say you and 4 roomates split a $1200 rental (yea i know its not great but you do want to get out of this situation right?). Thats $1280 - $642. You can buy enough food for one person for the month with $150 and im being really generous. That leaves you with $488 at the end of the month. Most businesses you can start with $1000 to $5000 and the right skills. At most, in a year, youll have enough money. But again, you dont really need to do that. Theres plenty of skills you can just self educate on and freelance. Work for free, get some solid case studies or testimonials, and start charging the big money. Everyone has an excuse and its fine if people want to sit there and think of why they cant instead of being proactive, but its not fine anymore if youre promoting that people should go into crippling debt for a degree that may or may not actually help them too much

@Chipmunk Self taught programmers honestly have a much tougher time getting a 6 figure salary compared to one with a degree. I've worked at various FANG companies as a software engineer in the bay area and rarely do I ever see self taught programmers make it far in the company. I know for a fact that most interviewers, at least the ones I've conversed with at FANG are heavily biased against self taught programmers. Only ones I've heard even being considered for an interview are those with insane/impressive personal projects they've done over the years and even then they still have it rough. Point being that it is usually a much better option to pursue a degree in CS rather than self teaching yourself. This is simply because the job market is hugely competitive these days with CS being one of the fastest growing majors. In a decade the amount of people in the job market with CS degrees will be so vast that the majority of new self taught programmers wanting a CS job will be essentially ignored as they will become obsolete.

Soon, a bachelor's degree is going to be worthless, and positions will only be available to those with master's. That's seriously messed up, when you consider the type of work that these people are doing... to have to go school for upwards of six years with tens of thousands of dollars in debt for jobs that aren't exactly specialized. It's sad. (And I'm not talking about careers that are super specialized, like in the medical field). I'm just saying that a lot of jobs can be taught through apprenticeships/training.

School drags me down and making me feel crap about myself in contrast to me working on my own and with my friends, struggling and failing, but at least its real and hard work unlike the crap we do in school which is for the most part useless or unnecessarily stupid.

Generally it's true that a degree is better than not having one. It really depends which degree, how much debt you'll be in, and if you don't go to school what will you do instead?

Rj Rebueno We literally come from two different worlds than our parents when it comes to YOUR life take your own advice..

[@viniciusgabriel7212]

in part its true, if you wanna have a secure career, get a stable job, its better you do the college, but if you want a successful life without a college you have to work hard on your own business or something like this

I’m 22 turning 23 in 2 months. As I was growing up, I noticed that by the time you finish high school. I saw that everyone had a path they had to jump on and that was going to college. I went to college for a week and decided I didn’t like it at all and then after I went to a vocational school, got a job and worked as a dental assistant ( I hated the job so much) and left. I work now in a restaurant serving. I come from an Asian background so I’m really glad that my parents are so chill as long as I have a job I can do what ever. Most Asian parents are very strict with their children, make them get good grades and get into top schools so they have a better life in the future. My aunt is one of them unfortunately, trying to force me to get back to school even when I don’t want to. She calls me whenever Im not busy and gives me a lecture about life etc. Everyone is different in their own ways. 😄

The fact that you mentioned that you can learn anything you want to without going to college really speaks to me.
