"Why I Hate School but Love Education"

its been said better, with better/less cliche examples

was just gonna post that.

I really like the line "If you dont build your own dream someone will hire you to help build theirs.

id rather watch a 6 min video than a 20

Pretty powerful but there's waaaaay more successful people with degrees than without. Yeah, you can list a bunch that don't, but in many ways those people just got very lucky (and were very intelligent and trail-blazers). A degree is a guarantee of a certain level of success, with an equal or even greater chance of super-success as achieved by the people he named.

Uber-successful people with degrees:
-JK Rowling
-Trump
-Adam Sandler
-Leno
-Seinfield
-Natalie Portman (wtf she has a Harvard BA)

is sandler, leno or seinfield using there degrees?

great video

As cliche as the first video was, I like it a lot.

Nope, but do you think they use the experiences and skills they learned while acquiring the degree?

well said sir, well said.

is you trying to obtain one?

don't have time to watch the first two, but this belongs here as well..

I hope you're either an engineer or a junior high school student....it's "their".

Sandler has a fine arts degree so I'd say he's using that. Seinfeld has a communications degree so I'd assume he's using that one a fair bit...

There's a reason why there are many thousands of universities in the world, the are a proven way to prove the worth of a person to a potential firm, company, investor, etc, etc. It is rare that someone makes it big without their uni degree/uni years playing a significant role.

Steve Jobs in his Stanford honourary degree speech said himself that he received plenty of ideas on a potential look for Apple in a calligraphy class.

Zuckerberg made Facebook while attending Harvard. If he didn't hit the jackpot like he did, he probably would have finished his degree and made an awesome living on Wall Street or something. This illustrates how when luck and potential don't work out, it's nice to have a backing.

Look at Wallisch finishing out his degree at Utah. He is well aware that his current fame and fortune will go away and it's nice to have a solid backing even if he ends up in broadcasting or whatever.

imo, that is just the way society works, not how good the people with degrees actually are. in ALOT of fields, a diploma says literally nothing else than "ok, i was willing to spend 4-5 years of my life for this diploma and apparently i am pretty intelligent".

obviously, i should be on "your" side given the fact that i am studying for 4 and a half years now. but i have learned so little of actual value and it kills me how many guys around me act like they are super geniuses and are BETTER THAN people who work with their hands. thats probably the worst part. straight down feeling superior to carpenters, construction workers who fucking have to be out there at 7:30 no matter the weather.

important note: i study economics, banking and finance, which is probably very important to add and i mainly talk about guys studying/working in that field.

is this the same guy who loved jesus but hated religion

I agree, but there's a difference between someone taking pride in the fact that they spent 8 years of their life studying to become a doctor or a lawyer and someone who thinks that they're actually a better person because the have their degree.
