Are they really recommending that Americans take on insane debt to figure out what they want to do in life?

They have a monopoly over the right-of-passage in our society, and they have been jacking up the price ever since. At some point doing the 80s, they warded off most of the desirable jobs in society from people without a college degree, thus making advancement impossible unless you went through them. The only reason college is valuable is because of that piece of paper you get at the end of it; otherwise, it's just an overpriced, 4-year boozefest.

College is always worth it but not at the US-American ask price of 5 to 6 figures. Just insane.

Agreed, the prices should be less or more funding options should be made available. I'd also encourage that financial literacy or a transition class be offered in High school to give students a better understanding of the next steps (especially for first-generation students interested in college aka first gen. college students).

It is not always worth it, do the math and break it down by major.

The price has to come down! And...my son wanted to purchase a used book in one of his classes but the professor required purchase to a link for an online book. It was part of the grade to get your own link so he and his gf couldn't share the "book." Universities hire adjunct professors and don't pay them what they are worth so why is it so expensive? Ridiculous!

Education, too expensive. Cars, too expensive. Homes, too expensive. Realizing your country is being taken over by big business who simply raise the costs of everything for the sake of buying a 5th yacht: Priceless.

Say bye 👋 to in 2025 and 2026

Compared to the price of college now I can understand

It’s a finical trap. If you have rich parents fitting the bill why not. However, for the rest of us to take on so much of debt so young is ridiculous and there should be a better way. Shame on America!!! Ruining young people’s lives before they even began. Most of the majors don’t make enough money to even pay the loans back. Let’s have a real conversation. Or the good jobs are going to go to the CEO family members/friends. Or you’re going to end up training them to take your position. Here’s the kicker, and they might not even have a degree. We’re tired America! And we’ll pass. It’s time for a new dream. Glad everyone is waking up.

I know I lost faith in it. All the time and money spent, and my degree has been useless for me.

I'm 50 this year and the most useful thing I've done is travel - it's confidence building, brings incredible experiences, some negative that you learn to manage and gets you out of your own backyard. In my opinion, unless you're training to be a surgeon or likewise, a lifetime of debt just isn't worth it.

I literally get my 4-year degree in two weeks. (May 11th) I majored in Criminal Justice and ended up in theatre 🤣😂😂😂😂

Prices are going up for degrees and so is rent and food yet these jobs don’t pay anything.

It won't forever wait until 2025 that will change, and if you like, then un, like my comment, you must be a bozo.

I figured this would be her advice: Spend 20,000 a year (or more) to figure out what you want to do. "Go to college" was the only advice I heard from guidance counsellors 20 years ago and it hasn't changed.

27 years old here. Never went to college. Only have my high school diploma and I’m surviving just fine. And never had to worry about student loans.

Why didn't she speak of certification? For many people who can't afford to go to college and "think" about what they want to do, certification can give you the tools needed to that field. Remember your student loans does not let you "think" you owe them, when you do.

40-50k spent in the first two years to learn what you just got done doing in highschool!!!!

Thank God I got my Bachelors and paid off my student loans. It takes guts and hard work.

I don’t have a degree/didn’t go to college, but I’m a marketing manager and make six figures. Not saying my experience is normal, but it’s more than possible to make profitable careers (in certain industries) without a degree.

I dont care about what is written on the degree or what title it gives me! I would love to go to college and learn more about what I want to do and have in person experience, but then the immediate negative thought is the cost. Paying for something that I would have or try to pay for most of my life and having little money to pay for other things is just not worth it.

No, an associate's degree is not useless. An associate's degree is an intermediate step between a high school diploma and a bachelor's degree. An associate's degree can be seen as complementary to the bachelor's degree, and it is often more economically viable, according to academic and economic experts. From an article that came out in January of this year

🙄NOT WORTH IT!

For the majority of careers, degrees aren’t necessary. No idea why so many jobs require them.

And on the other end of spectrum you have thousands of international students lining up to study in the US. No wonder universities are filled with huge number of international students. Do locals know something these outsiders don't and are getting scammed.

Starting off with a small amount of debt, I was going to transfer out of a community college and into a 4yr. But even with all these financial aid to get you into college, the debt and the effort required to get a degree is just not worth it to me.

Unless it’s a degree that gets you a job in that field right after.

Save a ton of money and sent my kids to trade schools. Never out of work and was productive within 2 years!

Spend $200,000 on credit in order to "figure it out"? Is she out of her mind? That is insanity!

The US lacks vocational training and « learning by actually doing it » in Europe you get at least a chance to actually get practical know how not only theory.

College seems like an expensive political boot camp that wrecks social skills ....I graduated in 69 ...It was inexpensive, fun and required your full attention to graduate and get a job ...A great social experience without the demands of others ....

Her statements are terrible advice … figure out who you are for only 60 K

A degree means nothing if you have no skills. Learn something and bring value to companies

Some degrees do teach you skills (many degrees in medical/helping professions often require field experience to shadow professionals and practice applying theory). College institutions also provide opportunities to learn/apply research skills! There is a host of ways one can gain skills during a 4 year (or more) degree process that brings value to many companies!

this whole segment was not helpful at all, they basically want young adults to stay in debt to figure out what they want to do in life. From my experience I learned a-lot what I wanted to do from working in temp jobs , college wasn't able to provide me answers. Now I am in 83,000 in student loan debt.

I graduated from the university featured at the 1:16 mark. For those in the know, you should be able to recognize the university that I'm referring to.

They have been useless for years now

I regret having a degree. Would much rather do something with my hands. With A.I. I can be replaced but there is ironically still a market for quality hand made goods, even if it is just for the story that a human made it with care.

College cost too much and pays off to little for most. Did nothing for me. No employer ever asked about it, they only wanted to know if I could do the job they were hiring for. Honestly, I’ve learned more from You Tube when I needed to learn how to do something than I did in four years and a Bachelor’s degree.

Where else will we train the fringe left ?

In a Engineer and my techs, with little to no education, makes much more than I do. They make 6 figures.

Unfortunately entirely everyone says degrees doesn’t matter including big companies encouraging people not to study just go for training lol off course it effected

Bad news for our country which is trying to compete in a global economy which is driven by scientific discoveries, technological innovation and engineering. I guess we could build more Starbucks and McDonalds to employ these folks who don't want to do the hard work of educating themselves. An engineering degree, for example, is hard, requires focus, and a bit of intelligence. I know, I earned one, and it didn't leave much time for partying and slacking. Worried about student loan debt? Do your first two years at a community college which is virtually free for state residents and live with your parents, then transfer.
