DON'T GO TO COLLEGE
These are my top three reasons NOT to go.
I do understand that some people feel called to do certain jobs and can handle the financial requirements of attending college, however, I find that many clueless youngsters are shuffled into universities these days and end up coming out worse than they started. In a world where many continue to repeat the mantra, "You've got to go to college," I am simply trying to provide some food for thought in regards to why that may not be a good idea.
Here are the top three reasons that I have for not going to college, but for a much fuller perspective please watch the video.
1) Student loan debt is out of control and can haunt people for decades after they graduate college.
2) Many these days do not even get jobs that match their degrees, which kind of defeats the purpose.
3) The required courses may actually be more of a social experiment in brainwashing and programming the next generation.

Even in some fields, that used to require a degree, a degree is not necessary, and in case, abhorred.
Today's programming companies want kids out of highschool before they get messed up by university CS majors. What the tech industry needs and uses today, requires untraining the stuff learned in university.
So, if you do not want to become a chemist, engineer or doctor, stay away from universities. In fact, if you want to be a doctor that helps people, study alternative medicine.
Wow, good point at the end about alternative medicine. I hear you on the rest too!
While a college education is costly, it provides students with long term skills. It is hard to justify the high cost though.
Depends on what skills they actually get.
Yup, yup, and yup.
...but it can be fun. Albeit a life ruined debt burden also, but yeah... Fun. :_(
No kidding... seriously
As a photographer, I get a lot of people who tell me "I'm studying photography so I can run my own photo business." So I tell them, "Then stop studying photography - you can learn that on your own. Just take your camera and go take photos. Instead, take courses on how to run a business. That's the harder part that you will have a much tougher time learning on your own."
well, yea, if you want to "learn" art lol ... i doubt that's gonna happen above a certain level of technics and mechanics, and imo, if you're REALLY into it, you will be doing that for at least a decade before you even get to college, right? college is more like "if you want to do it for someone else" so you can come into it without references. It's a bit confusing linguistically since here "hoge - school" is actually college and the other way around lol
It's not always a bad idea if you can get a scholarship and get through without too much in terms of debt/loans. There are many jobs that require a degree for the position. I agree though that many go to college because they feel like they have to, or that it guarantees a good job and that is what causes problems. They take out enormous loans that take many years if not the rest of their lives to pay off and it can really ruin people.
Go learn a trade you will be better off
Amen to that!
There is a saying " don't let your schooling get in the way of your education". Most of our knowledge comes from experience on the job, not from what we learn in school.
True story! Fully agreed!
This is why I like local tech schools. I was able to live home at my parents house. With a summer job I had enough to pay my tuition and supplies. That tech school actual would ask local industry's what their students need to learn inorder to work for them. This worked well for me.
But for my little brother. He was a sheldon cooper (Big Bang Theory tv show) type. He went off to a Texas University and work on Quantum Computers. That worked well for him.
That sounds like it did work well.
That is a huge difference too.
Absolutely, your right. These generation has the most underpaid batch of professional.
Like one of my friend use to say college is scam, you end up graduating without no job expect you have got a lot of connections.
I've certainly heard it called a scam before.
