Gary V Tells A-Rod Why Kids Shouldn't Go To College

Gary V talks with A-Rod and Barstool Big Cat about how certain types of kids shouldn't go to college.

No parent says " Go to school for debt". All parents want is for their child to establish their independence and financial security. You can achieve success without a degree 100%, but from my experience, it is that much harder without a degree of some sort.

So many people are not really understanding the message from Gary and Arod. You need to know yourself more than anything. College isn’t for everyone, and neither is entrepreneurship. You need to know what you’re good at, or go find out what you’re good at. Some people in college might be better suited for a trade job, and will be better off in the long run being a welder. Some people in trades might be better at an office job, as an IT specialist. One requires a degree, one doesn’t, but you need to know what you’re good at, or what you like and how you can get to that job.

gary vee is full of shit. so am i except if you pay me i will cut the shit... gary wont. he will shit you until your broke. i have other plans in mind then scaling this information. anyways point is if you pay me some big dough i will teach you how to become gary vee starting with absolutely 0$ and making about $200-$500 your first month then the sky's the limit from there. all of the gurus I MEAN ALL OF THEM ... thjey are all just keeping 1 core secret from you. google has made it extremely unprofitable to giver it away and it actually feels like your giving away all hope left at a successful career when you give it away. thats why nobody does. but i have many times and regret every one of them. but if you paid i would do it again. tbh it should have been obvious. look at the tens of thousands perhaps hundreds of thousands of websites and sellers there are out there that sell all this stuff... likes, comments, retweets, shares, reactions, poll votes, live stream views, connections, you name it its out there being sold by who though? how are they able to produce such massive quantities and who are they? always nameless and always faceless. how come there are all these sellers who sell millions of subs but nolt a single one has a youtube channel with 100k subs??? hmmmm? WAKE UP NOW!!! learn how they are doing that shit. become one of them. then you will be way closer to your goal then you ever will otherwise not even if you keep making Gary vee rich forever and shovel that toxic nonsense into your brain every day.

As someone who’s 34 and only went to college because my parents and society told me it’s what I should do, don’t do it because of that. I started college at 16 and had no clue what I wanted in life.

So true. I like that Gary doesn't rule out higher education completely, but instead raises the topic of self-awareness - go to college IF YOU NEED TO, like you for example (congrats btw). Some entrepreneurs just rubbish University completely - "college is a scam" -Tai Lopez....

[@brennenclark718]

[@johnster02]

i think this example is a clear one though, which isn’t the case for everyone. you are essentially a lawyer. your degree will pay well ie engineering, and has good prospects. and your MBA on top of that. yes. everyone will make money back if they invest it like that, but consider it with the depth it really has and not the binary that is the path you chose. what if i want to major in communications? or art? is it worth it then? what if i am at a worse school than you? what if i physically just can’t stand college? how would i go about doing this lots of education + degree = good job. like you obviously. but some don’t want to be lawyers or engineers, and thus the path and ROI of college is very different. for someone like you, i’m sure it was well returned. just something to consider, which is why there is no right or wrong definitive answer on whether to go or not.

[@mrknarf4438]

Go to uni if you're going there to become something. Don't park yourself in uni with no idea about your future because that's what you're supposed to do. That's the difference, planning.

My wife tried the whole college thing. Tried nursing and psychology, not because she wanted those careers but because she needed to pick something. She only ever wanted to be a hair stylist but didn’t think that job was something to be proud of and felt she needed to go to college. Finally done with the desperation, she decided to go to hair school and now makes bank as one of the best stylists in town and absolutely loves what she does. If I’ve learned anything, there is nothing inherently superior about going to college. If what you strive for requires college education then go for it, if it doesn’t don’t go. It really is as simple as that

College is just a credential. A person with drive, intelligence, and a true thirst for success is going to succeed regardless. What the credential does is get you past educational discrimination in order to actually prove yourself in your chosen field.

Without that credential, you inherently cannot enter a great many fields. Engineering, for instance. I defy you to find a self-taught “engineer” who’s passed the exam to become a professional engineer.

[@rg4517rg]

,@@jamesharding3459 You're talking about .5% of degrees here. An Engineering degree is more of an asset than a liability, college degree-wise. However, you cannot compare it to a Social Work or a fuckin Acting/Performing Arts degree and going $80k into debt for that useless piece of paper. A degree says nothing but a person's tenacity, determination, and hunger tell you they care way more about their career.

[@jamesharding3459]

@@rg4517rg Some quick math from Oregon State University (because that's what I have numbers for right now) shows engineering students make up a sizeable 24% of the student body and 21% of graduating degrees. Arts majors make up a bit shy of 9% of graduating degrees. Now, as for tenacity, that's fairly easy to assess from some degrees. I'm an engineering major. That means 16 hour days, 7 days a week. 18 and 20 hour days are normal during busy weeks. Hiring personnel in engineering firms know this, and anyone who graduates with an engineering degree in 4 or 5 years has damn well proved themselves to be highly motivated and tenacious.

[@rg4517rg]

@@jamesharding3459 I was agreeing with you on Engineering but the same cannot be said about several other majors. Of course, putting in over 70 hours into your Engineering degree, and getting experience on top of that will likely lead to a great career/return on investment. Common sense starts to diminish once you acquire $65,000 for a bachelor's(+$35,000 for Grad school) in student loan debt for a Psychology degree but then you cannot find a job and now must work somewhere you dislike to pay off debt on a paper you're not going to use.

@@rg4517rg Median first-year salary for a psych major is $60,000 in the US. Try again. Some quick research would indicate that most science or medicine adjacent fields -- the overwhelming majority of college majors -- make, on average, about $12,000 more than the median annual income in the US _in their first year._ Obviously, arts majors are not as marketable as an engineering major. But there is a lot of grey area between those two extremes.

I think a lot kids want to skip college but feel like they might miss out on life experiences if they skip it. College is kinda seen as necessary to have fun in life which is kinda true because when else are you gonna love 4 years just around people your age.

[@mybestlifefortherestofmyli7137]

What?!? That's the problem. You are paying $40,000 per year× 4 years to have fun and play around with people your own age to get the experience of college, just to say you had been around other people your own age. This is why the rich stay Rich and the poor and middle class are playing around doing nothing productive with their time. College is nothing but a big debt.

[@erinmagennis1156]

I graduated from college in the last 12 months and I highly recommend that most young people don't go to college. The only instances when I think it is worthwhile is when someone has a specific career that requires that (ie being a physician, a nurse, an architect, a lawyer, etc). Let's take a look at how some Scandinavian countries encourage their younger people - to explore and discover themselves first then come back to school if that's the right fit for them. Here in the United States, unless school isn't expensive, I believe it is often not worth the mental, financial, and life impact price.

[@chrisyongchu]

You’re right in that you do need to discover what you want to do before pursuing a college degree as certain professions require them. If you want to pursue entrepreneurship and do not want to work for anyone, it’s absolutely not necessary.

Jacob De Leon for drop shipping I got Arie schersons course early on when it was cheaper, it is honestly worth it because he shows you head on everything and the Facebook group helps as well. The only reason why I stopped is because the amount of money you need to spend on ads is more than I can afford with my bills. So when I get money from real estate I plan to open another store again and apply what I know. I made money and got consistent with sales but lost a lot as well. For whole sailing I plan to do bandit signs around the freeway of my area and driving for dollars. Even plan to skip trace absentee owners and probates. I’m currently reassuring myself with info and about to buy a script to do it virtually.

[@imbenmeyer]

The end has a lot to do with the beginning for me. "...I'm thinking second-time Entrepreneurs." But, in order to be a second-time entrepreneur you need self awareness. In light of everything else Gary said, in my opinion this epitomizes the saying, "When life knocks you down, you either get back up, brush the dirt off and get going. Or, you stay down." When we're in the dumps, we have two choices: face our pain, learn from it and our experience, analyze and reflect on it as well as our circumstances and how we got there, all in to adapt, change and use our new-and-improved approach for our interpersonal and professional benefit. The other option: take on shame, resent, bitterness, unhappiness, depression, self-doubt, etc. etc. etc. Self awareness is what gets us through the failures in order to overcome all of the negative latter described above and experience the former positives stated above. This is all my personal experience, as I saved $42,000 working a "job," left, started my own business, and now have $35,000 in credit card debt because I didn't have parents or resources to invest in the equipment, software and other means to run the business. I had to do it all on my own. I'm in a terrible spot now. The business was profitable, but it was a failure in that I couldn't live off the income, and the debt was too high and the time requires wasn't efficient to allow working all the odd jobs, side hustles and humiliating opportunities to make money while growing it any longer. I'm now faced with the humility of looking for jobs in the workforce going to work for someone else. I have to "eat shit" again now in the short term in order to prepare myself for the next "at bat" for an innovative idea I have in fitness or sales that I plan to begin working toward a patent on once I find a job. "If only" I knew a partner in the fitness community with access to equipment manufacturing." Knowing you're not a failure. Knowing what you would do differently. Knowing you had more courage than those who may look down on you but aren't living a life worth telling a story about... that's the self awareness that bestows a level of confidence and pride (and humility to keep ego at bay in the face of that confidence and pride) in order to allow you, I believe, to pick yourself up, scrape the dirt off, and build again. I say don't compare yourself as one of the 99.9% of entrepreneurs that fail to the .01% that have made it. I say compare yourself to the 99% of people who, as Gary says, got out of college, got a job, and see the lie of using their income to continue to upgrade to junk like the new iPhone Xs that Apple arrogantly charges $1000 for. (For the first time, I still haven't upgraded since the iPhone 6s plus because it still works and gets the job done.) What also keeps me going is something I heard that is a motivator successful people who have build a business understand and that others don't: "You don't start a business out of greed or the pursuit of money. You do it for the pursuit of freedom."

I can say to myself that I will make it no matter what, but I don't know that yet. Start setting goals once you fail and you know what the game is like.

@@nihselauto Business is a science. Period. No fortune 500 company is going to hire a high school graduate to be calling the shots.

@@krishanubhattacharjee316 Well if you want to work for a Fortune 500 company, thats your choice and your life. Sure there are stats on how the business are running, but you don't even know where the market is heading. Market fluctuates at different times and seasons. Good thing the DOW is up. Also, Business is a science?! That has got to be the biggest joke I have ever heard in my life. Tell me, does your "science" incorporate the laws of nature, physics, chem? Also, speaking of risk, people pursing medical degrees are taking more of the risk due to high amounts of debt, $100k-400k, burned out from working long shifts, less sleep, etc. So your idea of risk is completely different from real life. The difference between the risks in real science and the business is that business science risk you can lose the money and get it back at any time. All comes down to the market and money management. The real science risks I am studying (engineering) is life or death. I study the hardest topics that make you think twice about how precious human life is.

You cannot be studying to be a biologist when your passion is teaching... DO WHAT YOU LOVE, and fight against peoples expectations of you... only live for you.. hardest thing you will ever learn in your life... ignore the family.. don't do shit they want you to do, you are going to be miserable regardless of the money you make..

[@TheC0mmentSection]

I understand that college is a ton of debt, but let me throw this point out: College provides a platform for a person to live in a bubble and focus. What you choose to focus on is your choice. 4 years is a long time. If you spend that time learning business, taking it seriously, creating a relationship with your professors during out of class hours, all while starting a small business such as a vending business, you will be on an EXCELLENT track. Don't get me wrong, the dropout who hustles and succeeds I admire greatly, but that isn't the only road. You can hustle while in college and build a great business that would pay your student loans anyway. Why not have the experience, mature a little bit, and leverage brilliant mentors who are available to you all day? I say go to college and hustle. You will experience the best times of your life that cannot be replaced with money. Do your work before you play, set yearly business goals for yourself, be open to your business professors about your business goals and the obstacles you hit, and hit the occasional frat party, you'll be fine. It's like dieting, you can eat nothing but chicken and broccoli and get a six pack, and that will work. Or, you can keep track of your macros, and ensure your calories come slightly below your BMR until you have the body you want. For a lifetime of success and consistency, the latter is usually recommended. Take it from someone who has gone to college and done this partially, and then later on has eaten chicken and broccoli and failed his diet plan many times in order to learn. If I could go back and do it all over again, I would hands down do what I have recommended.
