College is definitely not preparing the majority that attend to accomplish any serious goals they set for their careers. It’s gonna get you in debt.
Go to university to teach (at universities), become a physician, lawyer or engineer as well as STEM.
But if that’s not your track, the arts are gonna leave you in debt and you’re still gonna start at the bottom.
Best advice I could give a young man:
1. Enlist in the military. If you’re especially adventurous do something hard like the infantry.
2. Learn a trade. Rich white chicks can’t do anything on their own. They rail against the patriarchy but also can’t lift 10 pounds. Work with your hands, learn to fix things = taking money from those fools for keeping them cool in the summer.
3. In any of those roles you take, simply be on time, be willing to be led, and be willing to step into leadership roles = success.
4. Stay far away from habitual drug and alcohol use. If you’re under the age of 26, stay away from marijuana. Otherwise learn to be a gentleman’s drinker. All those homeless folks you see probably got there due to drugs and alcohol addiction. Fact. Some are mentally unwell, yes but you can’t control that so not an excuse for you not to stay tempered in those vices.
5. Go to university much later in life, after you’re established and your heads on straight. You’ll find it much easier, and much more enjoyable as a result.
6. Stay fit - exercise is your brains natural drug. Also keeps your body in good order for when pure older and it’s much more important for wellbeing. It’s easier to keep exercising in your fifties rather than beginning to exercise in your fifties.
7. Be wise with your money. Wait till you’re established to buy the flashy shit. But do travel and see things. Don’t hoard your money. Nothing says failure like dying with tons of money you never used. Use it wisely but use it for experiences.
After that it’s pretty much autopilot to a very decent life.
Those might be great hobbies for the vast majority of people. Just like sports. I would never encourage one of my children to go to university for the specific purpose of being in the NBA, of play for the NFL. Why? One in a million shot you get to that level to be even a marginal player in those pro leagues. We’re talking about careers that support your life. With the foundation of paying work, you can explore all the arts you want.
Without the arts, life would be colorless and boring. We must have creators, not just HVAC technicians. Drafting and product development require drawing skills. My son found out the hard way. He didn’t take any art classes in HS and decided to go into Industrial Design at a Tech School (GI Bill paid most). He was behind the 8 ball for four years playing catch up. Now he works for one of the leading entrepreneurs in this country and his last name sure as shit ain’t Zuckerberg manufacturing medical equipment.
But most won’t read this because of a lack of tits and explosions.
Zuck sees the writing on the wall, he’s a hypocritical lying traitor who sold out our country for 30 pieces of silver. Never forget what the tech platforms did to all of us during covid and the elections. Traitors.
The irony is most federal endowments more than satisfy cost of every student. Then to charge fees rivaling a large mortgage, for a substandard product, which they will never back their for-profit product when it fails for most. They set the cost, non-negotiable, then provide the 'funding' at a oppressive repayment schedule. Ive learned more from this index card size device in my hand than any program.
He needs to be arrested and tried for crimes against humanity as we now know he told his employees early on not to get vaccinated, meaning he definitely knew something was wrong the masses didn’t. He also claims the government made him do it. We thought all along it was the devil, how naive and foolish are we?
Went to NYU just a little earlier than your friend. It was a colossal waste of time. Stopped my business undergraduate education and non-matriculated to the NYU Graduate Evening School which the classes were taught by true industry professionals who had real world experience in business.
My children’s college experience almost 25 years later was impacted by many professors who didn’t teach
Subject Matter but demanded an allegiance to their viewpoint not the real world facts in the marketplace.
The College Value Paradigm is imploding and has been for some time.
Our k-12 right through the College/University model is collapsing due to its blind reliance of its own bureaucracy.
Their budgets increase every year but their product is not worth the cost.
Zuckerberg is a malevolent little fuck motivated solely by a lust for power and the title of richest guy on the planet. If his lips are moving, he’s lying.
Even people I totally disagree with. I look for a positive pearl in there inhumane life. Like Zuck I thought he was a total jerk hole and he still is however, some of the points he made are very poignant. He Musta read Napoleon Hills thinking, grow rich when he talks about the value of a customer and to do more than it’s expected for that customer. There were others, even Biden, I couldn’t stand the a-hole, however has said one poignant thing, which was “I like vanilla ice cream.”Very profound. It proved to all of us he had major Arrested Development.
Search for the pearl everyone has, one take it for yourself, put it to your quiver of life, and then move on.
What utter bullshit. Zuckerberg lives in his own reality far far away from what you and I experience. What he has built is a cesspool of rage and anger that has caused massacres in other countries. And is about to do the same here. What he has built reinforces everything that is evil in this world. He could build it differently but he chose to go the way of the rage machine because he makes more money that way. He talks about the legacy media like he doesn’t rely on it and the advertising dollars from the same corporations. His constant talk about how ‘people are very smart’ and know how to run their own lives is pandering and a very sly way to keep people under educated, which only serves him. This billionaire love affair that the right has is playing right into his hands.
With a few exceptions, most college degrees will be useless as AI will be able to replace the people. With the exception of surgery and a few procedures, most medicine will be AI, as will big tech, banking, engineering, teaching, marketing, etc. The elitists and the sheep will fall hard. Colleges will be mostly irrelevant after this transition. The endowments will serve a new purpose.

The only likes you’ll get might be from people who learned those truths the hard way. Lots of people tune out things that aren’t glitter.
For sure.

While I agree with the majority of your points….

No glitter required.
Excellent summary. Very good rules.
Zuck sees the writing on the wall, he’s a hypocritical lying traitor who sold out our country for 30 pieces of silver. Never forget what the tech platforms did to all of us during covid and the elections. Traitors.
He should be in prison for his role in the 2020 election interference.
Zuckerberg is a poster child for how greed contributes to the degradation of good personal values

Do you have a link for the what he told his employees thing?
My best friend at NYU said in 1986, “College is a ripoff.” That’s back when it cost a staggering $10K per year!

I’m beginning to loath this guy.
Why would anyone trust a single thing this guy says? Curious to see VF going along with his efforts to rehabilitate his reputation...
Hey Zuck, quit censoring posters on FB, like you said you would do.

I wouldn’t give Biden credit for liking vanilla ice cream. Still looking for a positive pearl from that corrupt POS.

Michael Bloomberg created this illusion. Actually, it is the delivery, content and cost that is at issue. Why ask an actual pedagog?
