[@angeldarkduck193]

Im 16 , and honestly if I start doing this now , I can be ready by 18 , this was so helpful , ive always been scared of college because of debts and stories , and it was never my thing , and its funny because I play piano and guitar so, thank you , this video helped me a-lot

[@koolkaaattt]

Same same

[@immanueldacosta94]

Scared too man. 17

[@Fl_titan]

I’m kinda the same tbh. I’m closing in on 17 now and I’m really wavering if I want to go to college or not. I fucking hate school and it’s miserable, but idk if it’s possible to live comfortably without going to college. I’m still learning and thinking as I go

[@raggedyanne9631]

Same I wish I started younger but I’m 15 almost 16 so this is good

[@landon.v7289]

[@artsyabin8145]

Aah same i just 18 but i don't want to have child if i even get into a relationship, I don't want them to suffer

[@spiderman69219]

That's the problem man kids are something people should have but these days it's too hard to find a woman who would acutally take care of the children and raise them properly

[@gaelatriano5996]

There are many people who already have kids, and said they love it. If it's not for you, don't. Never live a life where your authenticity is shattered.

I just graduated college but I feel really unfulfilled by doing it. I told my parents I’d go to grad school for PT but I’m not passionate about it in a way. So during this gap year I created a KZbin channel and started getting into Instagram a bit more than before in hopes of poppin something off. I feel like this is the time to try new things for sure.

[@rashaud99]

Good video bro. I like your simple straightforward approach as far as giving a PLAN to people who decide not to go to college. I also like how RESPECTFUL you are and how you don't BASH those of us who DID go to college. I understand that college is not for everybody. But some of these KZbinrs bash those of us who did go. The best thing to do is to do what's best for you.

[@mheemeena3745]

[@partoftherevengers8719]

Honestly you are so right on this. I come from a not wealthy family but my country provides support for studies. I finished school and thouht I NEED TO STUDY. So I enrollend. Bullshit, you don't need to study . At least not when you're young. I quit, because studies takes so much of your free time (if you have to do it properly in order not to waste the money), that you have hardly time for anything. I found that i wanted to try more things out, so i started to do it next to my studies, but in return my grades dropped and i would have been kicked out from the goverment support. It is not smart to study something you have no clue about or you are not interested in. Work can be found everywhere and while working developing skills is the best thing you can do. But you shouldn't be lazy for this. Because if you really wanna have a decent income, you really need to educate yourself. But you don't need a Professor who probably never worked himself/herself OUT HERE and tells you "You need to do this, you need to do that, this theorie is important it's applied for blablabla" no theorie helps you in the real world. YOUR SKILLS COUNT.

[@sida9908]

I needed to hear this 10 years ago. Sadly no one was there to teach me what to do. 😐 This is a life advice. Don't waste ur time at universities guys if u are just about to enter one Thanks Mike

[@zelthic]

Saeed Masoodnia going to college help secure and maintain your life in the future. If thing starts to fall apart in your life, just a scrap of paper saying BA or master could help avoid you from being poor or live the worse life. Not going to college in the society will leave you with a lot of risk and have a high chance of being homeless when you grow up.

[@Ojauce]

Zelthic False, so many successful, rich people who have never gone to college. I can name some if you want. You just need invest your money wisely.

[@alainad6364]

This was super helpful! I want to go into politics, so I will need a degree...but I'm also trying to go the debt-free route in college. That goal, however, is kinda difficult since I'm paying for all my own school. I'm thinking I'm going to need to take a gap year in order to afford my schooling, so I'm trying to plan carefully for that year by watching videos like this. Also, as is the case with most homeschoolers, I've considered the entrepreneur route, so studying videos like yours has proved a great resource. Thank you!

[@liamfinn200]

are just used to their parents paying for everything. I went to a prep highschool under a wrestling scholarship and basically the entire class never worked a real job, or if they do, they work 2 hours a day for little ice cream shop in their town. Last summer, I balanced 2 part time jobs, one landscaping and the other at a pizzeria, sometimes I would even end up working both on the same day. I have the work ethic to accomplish anything and I know what I want to do. I am going to open a gym and train people. Right now I have a job working banquets at a country club and I will be making $33,000 minimum a year. After 4 years, while everyone else is at college and in debt, I will have at least $120,000. The gym will cost no more than $100,000, so after that, I will maintain a growing revenue with the gym and continue working at the country club, increasing in my position. I am willing to do this. I don’t want to sit in a classroom and stress about my education for the next 4+ years. What do you think? Is this sustainable?

[@SolidPayne]

First off, university can help a lot if you want to be a job that’s very high pay however, this doesn’t mean that you need a university degree just to get by in life. Take a break after H.S but after a year or two go back to school for a few years. College is pointless on the other hand.

What about kids who help their parents pay the bills and college is not an option. I compare myself to people my age all time who had parents that could provide and let them go to college comfortably. It’s not an option for everyone. I feel uneducated and set back and I’m freaking out!

[@drop_messages6226]

Universities have 2 sales pitches to hook students. One is to sell them on the more marketable majors like: STEM or business. then, for the students who do. not want to. major in a maketable major, there is still the idea that its the professional networks and. connections you make that really get you a job. Problem is, there is tens of thousands of students graduating with marketable degrees from prestigous universities, and some of them are having a hard time finding a job. So, if you have a liberal arts degree from a mid tier state. college, you are competing with them and still have student loans to deal with.

[@gcastudio]

*stem or med. A business degree is as useful as a liberal arts degree

[@drop_messages6226]

@@gcastudio so a business degree is as useless as a philosophy or art history degree? That is sad. Is it because they do not teaching meaningful things in business college, or is it that a business degree is simply an outdated idea? In a world where a 18 year old can make money designing websites from anywhere in the world, who needs to bother with 4 years of college?
