College isn't for everyone, but if you go then you gotta make the most out of it. The fact that there are college graduates working the same 9-5 jobs a dropout could get is ridiculous.

The issue with his argument is those people most likely came from families that was middle class to upper middle class so they had a social network to fall back on. Also they most likely was above average intelligence.

I went to college and it was a good decision for me. I tell youngsters all the time, you don't have to go to college to be successful but you definitely should have a trade.

If I could change one thing, I would've went to the military first. To see some of the world and help pay for further education all on the govt dime. I didn't know what I wanted to do with life and wasted a couple years fukking around. I actually stumbled into my career my Junior year in college via internship.

This one of them debates the community should have been moved past.

Two negatives about college is being in debt and not being able to pay it off and it’s not always guaranteed to land something successful. There’s some opportunity in it though.
