While maybe its not a guarantee to make a person rich, I like the chances for someone to make a living better if they've gotten a college degree.
Is it worth going into 100 thousand dollars worth of debt? No. But being smart and getting a degree without going into deep debt is a very good plan.
People act like you can’t go to a community college your first 2 years and transfer to a state school and save tons of money.
You don’t have to go to the most expensive private school. Making connections and building a solid network in college is almost as valuable as the degree itself.

Take advice from social media brehs
A lot of people will be more successful once they stop taking advices from human trashes like gillie.
Any degree, whether it's from rich college or not, you show for your future employer that you're professional enough to show up to work and not fukk up their business.
Gillie doesn't know any of that because he's a washed up rapper/professional shyt talker for subscribers. Let's everyone start rapping dumb street shyt and make podcasts with more dumb street shyt. I'm sure world would be a great place.

College is most beneficial (in this order):
1. Filthy rich kids who will be rich regardless. College is a playground for them to network and rub shoulders with the elite.
2. Student Athletes. Either you going to the league or you getting a free degree.
3. People majoring in STEM (without going deep into debt)
4. People majoring in Finance/Accounting/Economics at a good school (without going deep into debt)
5. People who are from abject poverty. With a good major, an affordable school and making sure they graduate, they will improve their lives.
6. Everyone else
People mess up by picking majors that aren't lucrative, by paying too much for school and by partying so much they don't graduate.
Gillie is right in a sense though. College does not guarantee you'll be rich. It just gives you a path to being employable. For the average person, this is their best shot at having an okay life. Everybody is not built to be a business owner.

I get what he's saying but I don't think you can give that advice to the average person. Experience and certification or training in certain areas can be nearly or equally as valuable though.
A degree will help you get a better paying job (depending on what your degree is about).
If you want to get rich, your degree could still help. For example you could sell your services in whatever you studied for. You could have your own lawfirm but you need to be a lawyer. And so on.
Other ways to get rich are real estate, buying established franchises, inventing something that solves an important problem and that scales, etc. with those, you don't need a degree.
I think the most important skills you need to get wealthy are learning how to learn, learning how to sell, learning how to cultivate relationships, learning how to organize ressources and basic math. All of which you can learn outside of school.
I think the idea of a college degree just for the sake of it is overrated. Especially if you get a useless one. And especially if you end up with massive debt to get it. But getting the right degree and using the opportunity to its fullest potential (connecting with people and professors/mentors) is underrated.

Stop listening to these guys. Meanwhile, all of the dope neighborhoods in cities like Boston/Cambridge, NYC, SF, LA are filled with college graduates and professionals.
This is a silly guy.

He's not wrong, but his circle consists of Athletes, entertainers and street nikkas. So yeah they might be rich with no college degree. Meanwhile the nikkas he know who went to college may only be making 70 a year. And the nikka he know that a trash man making 100 a year. College don't seem right if you view it from that lens.

Most rich people are born rich. Being born rich often negates the need for a college degree.

This is also location and opportunity dependant.
In NYC you could have a H.S. diploma and a great Government/City/State Job and be making MUCH more than a person with a degree,even if that degree was in Engineering or IT.
