Student Showdowns: Charlie Kirk & Candace Owens's BEST College Debates 👀🔥

My dad was the same way. There wasn't anything he couldn't do or fix. If he didn't know how to do or fix something, he'd figure out. He never used technology, he used his brain. He was incredible with numbers and only had an 8th grade education. Yes, thank God for men!

I am a nurse, nursing school teaches very little about nursing. It only prepares you to take the national certification exam, which is based on patient ideals and not reality. I wish we would go back to just diploma nurses or training them in sole nursing school. My schooling was a waste of time and money. I have learned more working as a nurse than I ever learned in school.

[@heyimstefunny]

Charlie’s explanation of college was the exact reason why I stopped going. I had wracked up about $5,000 worth of debt and I deep down felt like I was learning nothing, and was just doing what I thought was “right” or the normal thing to do. Today, I’m happy with my job and make a livable income and it continues to grow each year. I’m glad I got out when I did!

I'm a college graduate with an AA degree and my husband is just a high school graduate but has worked blue collar jobs since childhood. I can't even begin to explain the sheer knowledge and skills this man has in navigating life. The world can collapse today and he's golden without an ounce of panic. I feel so robbed and lied to. I wish I can go back and never got my degree and just worked sooner. Granted I did opted out of getting my BA after to start working full time for the immediate experience and I benefitted a lot sooner than my peers who continued school and chasing all the advance degrees. In the end, my degree was helpful in my field but really useless in life as I'm now a devoted housewife and homemaker. I have small online businesses working from home but I really could have saved all that money from student loans. (Which my husband easily helped paid off because his blue collar job can afford it.) Discovering Candace and Charlie and others alike has opened up my eyes and changed my life for the better. I can't thank you enough. I just wish I knew all of this sooner. Keep up the amazing work guys!

[@michaelsweet3256]

I'm a Turning Point fan, a Charlie Kirk fan, and a conservative... but, I don't like the way he bashes college. As the youngest child in my family and the first to go to college, I learned so much about how to learn. I think that's the key. Yes, I took classes I would call a waste of time. But knowing that and still passing those courses translates to working in the real world. We need to learn how to decipher the useful, the useless, and how to work with other people in a professional environment. I learned that in college.

[@Greywolf-91]

He doesn’t bash college in general. He bashes the predatory way that colleges recruit their students. If you are going into a field that requires a degree. Then it’s the best option, but if you have no idea what you want to do. Then get a job and figure it out first.

[@chaosapple7771]

He argues that it is a scam because most of the degrees that are offered are useless or not needed, yet they charge way too much money for what they offer. He isn't saying it is useless. He is saying it is a major problem that needs to be fixed because the cost vs. reward ratio isn't positive. At least not on average. Are there good degrees? Yeah, of course. But if your product is only viable 30 percent of the time, then it is a scam.

[@hebrewharv8018]

It’s no reason you should need a college degree to be a social worker 🤷🏾‍♂️.

10:12 I have a bachelors and I dont know what the hell that kid is talking about. College degree doesn’t equal knowing every single fact on the planet. I know people with degrees who are as dumb as a box of rocks. It was supposed to be a degree (specialization) into your chosen career field. It shouldn’t be about status… I hated the required core classes and I wasted thousands on classes that are not relevant to my life and I remember nothing from them (astronomy, anthropology, etc), I work in MARKETING!!!! I even had to pay to take a fricken weight lifting class that we literally just worked out for an hour twice a week (didn’t learn anything about the science of it) because I needed the credit in that core requirement and it was the only thing available for my schedule. College IS a scam in the way it’s set up. I paid hundreds to workout twice a week because I HAD no other option without throwing off my course studies/graduation timeline. How silly is that?

I thought i was dumb, i just went to work and worked hard and put in effort, and i find success. Every job i've had, people tell me im smart because im a girl. I've never had anyone talk to down to me for being a woman? How are women claiming that they get attacked for being a woman??? Maybe i'm just lucky? But i doubt it

[@bryanaauz]

Most people in college aren’t going for wanting to be a Dr, Engineer etc

[@Candace0730]

We need 25% of students going to college if that makes up degrees for engineering, medicine and law. Other than that it does make sense that we should be pushing our children towards a less expensive, less valuable degree. Put your kids into trades and create businesses. If they really want to go tj college later, they can. For students who need a basic mathematical, critical and language proficiencies, they should go to trade school. Even those with biz degrees make an average amount of money.

I have been fortunate enough as a very feminine woman, to be both the bread winner and a now a homemaker. I say homemaker because my role now is FAR more than a “stay at home Mom” raising my AMAZING honour role Autistic son. I quite literally run my home. I clean it so my family can grow and prosper in a safe and healthy home environment. My husband works a blue collar job making great money and my son is flourishing in high school. I am the cook who provides healthy meals day in and day out keeping everyone fed both body and mind. I am the one who provides for our animals who are as close to my heart as if they were my biological fur babies. The list is endless of the things I do from sun up to sun down. This job is harder than any other I have ever done and I wouldn’t change it for the world. So, I agree whole heartedly with Candice and feel like women have spent so much energy trying to be “equal” when the truth is we have been equal this whole time. I created human life within my body and continue to this day raising that human so that he can go out in to this world and be productive and contribute to the world he will live in after I’m gone. I make sure the man that puts the roof over our heads knows that I will ensure everything within that roof is safe, happy and healthy for our family. As far as I’m concerned I’m far more than equal.
