No I’m subscribed to Tom Scott and Project Farm in fact! Unfortunately I feel useful stuff like that is in the minority on YouTube. Try looking at the top videos on a guest account. That’s all the crap I’m referring to. A lot of mindless drivel

No I would like to disagree, they went to college for the opportunity to gain more knowledge. Some of them partied, some of them are idiots but in the end college itself doesn’t give you experience needed to guarantee it being worthwhile like it used to be 20 years ago. I say this as a guy who got a BS in electrical engineering and no one wanted to hire me out of school since I had no experience except for the college experience of in itself.

Looking at my friends kids who have completed college in the last ten years, I can safely say that 70% of them are worst off than if they didn’t go. How did I come to that conclusion? Well they are so riddled with debt it’s going to take them at least 10 years, if not more to dig themselves out of that due to the college experience. Are they more educated? I would say yes but their outlook on life is so grim compared to the other kids who didn’t go to college and jumped directly working into trades. Those kids I see are happier and doing better in life. Again, this is just from my experiences. True it all depends on the degrees and the person itself but still doesn’t change my opinion on thinking college is overrated now.

It seems to rise to the top of YouTube, you have to be a crazed sociopath or just plain idiotic to engage enough people to be able to afford a house. I think college is overrated but still think those that try are better off. Youtubers are not in anyway contributing to the betterment of our world. It’s sad how crap content is the driving force for getting monetized.
