Aight, so I numbered them... 1. I 100% agree, College is for everyone, especially those who want a good resume, and for people who just want the information 2. If someone cannot afford college, then it is fin to not go, jumping on the elitus train of, "If you don't go two colledge, thhen yuo are stoopid" is unacceptable. College is for everyone. 3. I don't have a bachelor's degree so idk¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 4. high school is really expensive, but it is worth it. 5. I was bullied a bit in school of being "blind" because I have glasses, but I never made fun of someone because of the color of their skin, I'm still friends with a black person who I've been friends with since the sixth grade, I had a friend in a wheelchair once. 6. The guy makes a good point but you make an even better point, as school does cause stress. 7. I lost some brain cells too, Not every child should go to college, and making it mandatory would be really stupid, college should not be mandatory. 8. Agre 9. I hate this scumbag commenting like that, Theodd1sout, a college dropout, has 13 million subs on YouTube. 10. This guy needs to chill, as saying that will put even more stress on college students. 11. Not going to college is fine, but putting the future on kids is being a fucktard(sorry for the language), as you have just killed the morale of students, making them think "Holy shit I'm the future of the country????". Also, I think you'll enjoy this video:
Taking adderall is basically just taking a very small dose of meth. Both are amphetamines and they're very similar in makeup. It scares me to know what meth must feel like, knowing what small/moderate doses of adderall feel like. Never touching that shit. I can completely understand how so many people ruin their lives with it. I've also found that adderall doesn't help me focus much. Normally I'm pretty attention deficit, and adderall just makes my mind even more hyperactive. It'd probably help to see a doctor for an actual diagnosis.
Um, it sounds like you're intimating that comment I responded. I don't think college is for everyone, but it's great for a lot of people I'm sure. Agreed, but are you joking when you say college is for everyone? I don't want to sound like I'm jumping to conclusions, so I figured I'd ask. Okay, but you said you had a degree. Is it an Associates degree? Wait, isn't high school free, or are you joking? Wait, you're blind? If you are, I feel bad for you Anyways, I'm glad you don't fun of people for the color of their skin. There are people who still do that nowadays and they are total cancer. Thanks =D I 100% agree. Again, thank you. Well, I could wrong, but I don't think subs alone get you money. It's views and monetization that play a part to I think. I don't know, I'll figure this stuff when/if I'm YouTube. Exactly, debate.org and Reddit can be a total load of crap. As for the language. It's fine. I don't mind cussing. Good point there =D Anyways, thanks for numbering them. It makes it 10,000 times easier. There are few parts of the post I don't understand, but they are mainly the first parts. If you could explain what you mean in the 1. and 4. thing, that would be great.
1. No, I'm not. 2. Yes, it is an Associates degree 3. When I was in Ohio, nope. 4. I am not blind, I just have glasses.
1. I meant that people are free to choose not to go to college or to go to college, sorry for the bad wording 4. explained in previous post.
1: Oh, okay then. Thank you. 2: You're right. Okay then. By the way @Phym, I think I watched that video you shared on here. --- Post updated --- Alright, here is a Reddit comment I want to share my thoughts on. "Yeah, that how "do what you love" is crappy advice I think. It seems like that's just a good way turn what you love into something you hate. The whole reason we love our hobbies is because our fortunes aren't riding on them." Banned_for_caring I think people can turn their passions into a career. It is good to have a back-up plan and a guaranteed source of income. However, some people can make good money of their passions.
1: Cool 2: It was cool. 3: Thanks. --- Post updated --- Hello @Harkin Labs Gaming, I have a question for you. Have you seen the recent posts of this thread?
Yeah I have. I have been busy so I didn't get a chance to reply yet. I don't agree with any of the quoted posts from reddit as they are one sided. College is great if you can afford it and enjoy it, but it isn't for me and a lot of other people. As of right now college is overpriced and I have heard some of the classes are kind of scamming people. In the past college was great because you could afford to pay for it by working between semesters. Nowadays, you can barely pay for college by working for 20 years. I just think colleges aren't the only option and they have more cons than pros. Their classes aren't even interesting to me. People are also giving out statistics with no evidence like Oprah gives out free cars. Public opinion of trade workers/laborers is really low for some reason, as without them society would crumble. The lawyers and accountants can make fun of mechanics, but guess who's laughing when they give the mechanic $600 to change the oil in their BMW.
Actually, the comments/statements were also from America Magazine, The Hechinger Report, and debate.org. As far as the negative opinion trade workers, I think it comes from lazy young people who don't mind school and learning from a book, but they think "Oh no, trade work is too tough and hard." Yes, trades can be hard on your body. However, it's a great to get a lazy person's body moving. To be honest, I'm not even sure the studies about college grads making more are a 100% true. People working in trades without college degrees are probably making more then college grads who work at McDonald's. Now, of course doctors, lawyers, etc are probably making more then high school grads without trade experience. By the way, can you explain in full detail as to why you disagree with the studies about college grads on average making more? --- Post updated --- "But the general rule in life is you make more money using your head than using your hands. 10 years of using your head in white collar jobs generally leads to bigger and better things, especially in the business world. The easiest way to see this reality is via BLS numbers:" Ry-Fi Oh great, a comment from Reddit. Is even true?
That is true. People working in trades make more money than people working in entry-level minimum wage jobs. The comment from Reddit is partially true. The richest people in the world don't need to pour their own cereal, much less work a trade job. The way to make a lot of money is if you can both work with your hands and head very well. Thats why surgeons make so much money. But the thing is, not everyone needs/wants a lot of money, and most people don't want to be a surgeon. The studies tend to have skewed data because of the location of the study. If you go to the Silicon Valley and conduct a survey, of course you will find that most of the people there work for tech startups that require degrees and experience. If you were to conduct the same study in some small town in the middle of nowhere, you would find that it doesn't really make a difference if you have a degree or not as long as you can do the job.
Another thing is that there aren't a lot of people in trades right now, but there are a lot of people who have graduated college. I'm sure someone has done a study on successfulness of college graduates vs successfulness of tech school graduates which would highlight another issue with colleges. There is oversaturation of college graduates right now that all want the same job, but employers are struggling to find qualified mechanics because there aren't a lot of people applying for those jobs.
oh god oh fuck are you ok after reading that cause I'm not. I mean literally this guy must have lost his mind. I mean seriously. You know how much stress a student goes through at college? This guy makes it sounds like if you don't go to college your ultimate destiny is suicide. Fuckin unbelievable. Take a look at this statement: "In colleges and universities in the United States, suicide is one of the most common causes of death among students. Approximately 1100 college students commit suicide each year, making it the second-leading cause of death among college students." Ironically, many students who go to college have a destiny of commiting suicide. Not saying that every single student that goes to college will commit suicide, but some students can't take the stress and all kinds of shit in college, and what do they do? They commit suicide. So if this guy who says people that don't go to college somehow makes college mandatory, that wouldn't end... great. Even without college being mandatory, more than 1000 college students commit suicide every year. 1000 bro. That can be a whole fuckin neighbourhood of kids commiting suicide because they don't get a choice to not go to college and instead chase their own dreams. So yeah, that comment is bullshit. Also this guy that wrote the comment should take a look around him. Does not going to college make your ultimate destiny suicide? Hell no! Take my dad for example. He's not a person of culture, he didn't go to college. But he doesn't go around doing drugs, popping pills or robbing banks. He's a truck driver and he actually makes a lot. I believe that people should be able to do whatever they want without being forced to go to college because "the world needs more doctors and lawyers and if we have nobody going to college the country will die blah blah blah." So yeah, that comment is legit bullshit. Good idea.
All of the points in these statements you made are great. I can hardly wait to hear your thoughts on the other half, but I'll wait anyways. People being forced to attend college (especially if their career doesn't depend on it) is wrong and disgusting. By the way, none of the comments on that particular posts you/I quoted are from Reddit. They're from The Hechinger Report, American Magazine, and debate.org. By the way, I thought and more and more jobs were requiring degrees. I do somewhat wish you would've talked about film making, but thanks for the information anyways I'm okay, but I'm sorry you had to read that bs statement. I get the appeal of college. It can be fun for a lot of people and it can give you better pay sometime after you graduate and you get a decent job that needed the degree you got, but I don't think it's for me at all. Great for anyone that enjoys college, but I don't want to go. Sadly, I feel like I have to sometimes even though I want to make comedy/entertainment videos because of all the pressure to go right after high school.
