Last part I definitely agree with, I mean it's ultimately up to students to make the most of college

One thing that's super interesting to me, this YouTuber said that his rule of thumb when predicting future trends is to look at the past trends because of something has been true for 95% of the time it will probably continue to be relevant

In the vast majority of human history, successful kingdoms had vast quantities of slaves, when we think about modern life the idea of becoming rich is like the idea of moving up the social/political class in an archaic society. It's extremely rare and most people are born into wealth, just like how people are born into nobility in past civilizations.

My point is we should acknowledge that for most of human history most people were poor and that hasn't changed and probably won't anytime soon

prob depends on area but in mine (DMV) no

majority of people I’ve seen making it as a SWE without a bachelors were in the military

thankfully CS/IT degrees are cheap

I'm Gen Z with no college but I earn 8k month in IT
Gen Z problem might be social media that f***ed their brains up tbh thats why they are living paycheck to paycheck instead of learning and developing skills they sit in their bed watching tiktok

Programming bootcamp is s*** and always will be a scam

Bro you're the exception not the rule. You make almost 100,000 a year there is very few people in your tax bracket my guy. Congrats on that I'm happy for you 👏

Mr money bags!

College just teach you the basics man you always have to think outside the box and learn by yourself, always you need to crave more knowledge. If you stay laid back and say college will get me a job than you re f***ed.
Didn't even go to IT college, attented Topography and Cartography College and dropped out in the last year to get a job that was paying pennies IT Tech Support just to get xp in the IT domain.
Learned everything by myslef got certs, and changed jobs thats it.
You have to put work in it.
I'm f***ing s*** at math ain't gonna lie but I know mfs doing Computer Science College and I program 10x better than them

Gen Z going to college for the sake of going to college

used to think college was a scam but just having an associates opens doors

Lie

They’re not internet savvy

yup that sounds about right

I didn’t say a single thing about the economy bro what are you on about

That’s his point

U said that kids should not have as much of an issue finding jobs or careers because of these "affordable alternatives" to degrees which tbh idk what those are. Like if the job market is trash that's what it is aint rly no secret sauce that people are just ignorant to
