Entering a trade is also highly recommended if you disliked high school. If you thought high school sucked, college is 100x worse.

I definitely agree 100 percent. I’m an online college student. I’m extremely stressed out and burned out. I feel like investing in college is a complete waste of time. I’m in so much debt right now ugh. When I finish my degree, I’m going to attend a trade school. If I really wanted to go to college and invest my money it better be a psychiatrist or a doctor.

Finally someone speaking my language. I have doubts that college was only way to success and I had never figured out what wanted to do after high school. Back then I wanted to be smarter than everyone when I was in college and took biology as my major. When pandemic hit I learned nothing from online classes. I was scared to be looked down because I thought that’s it I’m a failure. I realize after almost finishing my associates I don’t want be next four years for my bachelor and be in debt. After getting transcript it was going take another 4 years I said no I’m not going to a university. Thank you I’m just want to have my freedom in my life by going to trade school and be done with it.

College is only worth the ROI if your studying a STEM related program to become a Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, or Scientist. Every other job you can learn online, go to police academy or the military, attending a trade school, get a real estate license, or become an apprentice/trainee/technician with just a HS diploma.

Before anyone twist his words, he's not telling people to NOT go to college if that's their desire. He's saying if its NOT something you're not interested in or have a desire for, DON'T do it! Don't invest in something you don't want! If you want to go to college, go. If you want to go to trade school, go. Just make sure you know what you're going for and make sure it's something you can ACTUALLY UTILIZE afterwards. Edit: Quite frankly, there needs to be more slow-paced, chill, sit-down, little to no educational jobs with no "prior experience" required and no highschool diploma/GED required! ESPECIALLY for entry-level jobs! College is stressful, causes burnout, it's too hard, draining, time-consuming, incomprehensible and pointless. Everyone literally CAN'T go to college! Be it due to finances or simply just too much hard material to read, study, comprehend, etc! Its just not worth it! Speaking from personal experience. I went to college and overall HATED it. The ONLY thing I liked was work-study! Nothing else! (**For those that don't know, work-study is a program for college enrolled students ONLY and they can either pick a job on campus or off campus and get paid minimum wage for it.**)

College is not a scam. School is expensive, and public school would be too if it wasn't funded by the government. The purpose of going to college is to be educated! Because yes, there are jobs out their that don't require a degree but individuals with a degree will always be more valuable than those without one. Yes, highly skilled jobs do require a degree. Unless you want to work a restaurant or call center your whole life, then yeah, college would be a waste of time. Trade school is a great choice of course, but dont be stupid. Just becase college is hard doesn't mean it's a scam.

I now own two homes and have a trade that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Meanwhile big tech faces layoffs while AI is making most of those jobs redundant. I’ll be retiring way earlier than most due to how I set myself up so I’m for the trades. It’s just that not everyone has enough dexterity to make it in the trades. I’m not knocking college grads however I can honestly say that I don’t have crushing debt over my head either.
