I was one of those people that didn't care about a credit score, didn't get enough education about how important your credit score is, how it works, and I racked up debt like an idiot. I worked really hard, educated myself and needed a CFA, Abby Joseph Cohen's guidance with lnvestments before I was able to bring my credit score from 480 to 732 and I'm still going up. Yet I can't help to think that the lack of proper financial education in public education system was partly the cause of my misfortunes in the first place

@@Beefnhammer "Educated doesn't mean intelligent. You're born either smart or not. Genetics seems to play a sizable role, from my own observations." Yes, however. Intellect is great, but it's also very important to use whatever intellect you have to learn. It doesn't matter how "smart" you are. If you don't learn anything valuable. How are you going to function. The real problem with America and places like it, isn't that people aren't smart. I mean that is a factor too, but a bigger problem is this. Forget Higher education. Education in general is pitiful here in the states. Getting an advanced education will help you not to get taken advantage of. I'll tell you one thing though. Thank Christ for the internet. I personally have learned so much just constantly reading and looking up things, and even just sitting back and watching videos. Lastly, Just as important as Bill Maher here is actively trying to mislead people into not getting a higher education, and yes your going to learn bullshit that isn't true, but you're also going to learn valuable skills on various other subjects. For example: Things like math, calculus, algebra, English, and so many other things aren't as up for debate as history, and I agree that we need to keep history as factual as we can. I just think saying "No" to collage isn't the smartest way to go about it.

@@jeffreymcquillen1208 I majored in Environmental Science and at this point I think there are three serious conversations that need to happen regarding school/college in America. 1. The student debt that's out there has to be forgiven for most students. I can't even afford to even live on my own, even if I had a job in the field that math wouldn't change on that. 2. We need to look at why our high school system has fallen apart. I feel like a lot of high school's problems have been offshored to colleges. My gut tells me that a huge part of the problem is the sheer number of Americans living in poverty or experiencing financial hardship. I think shortening high school to three years, while at the same time making community college free is one solution. 3. If a job is going to require a college degree, the minimum wage said can pay is $25 an hour, full time time 32+ hours a week. Community College should be free for everyone, as they offer the first two years of a BS.

I taught a masters level ethics class before I left academia, and students would approach me privately to share their peer-unapproved thoughts. Students know they will be shunned, and their peers can affect their longterm career prospects. The incentives aren't there for honest, open discussion. But the problem goes all the way up to the tenured faculty having a hive mind and looking for reasons to reject tenure proposals from professors who don't fit in. And it starts early when new professors are still at the tenure-track level, where hiring decisions are decided primarily by faculty vote, further leading to the homogenization of 'academics.' Lecturers and teaching professors are barely even acknowledged as existing and serve only to pick up the work loads of the tenured and tenure-track faculty. As they are particularly dependent on student evaluations of their teaching, rocking the boat is an even greater risk. So however bad it is now, it's only getting worse.

When I went to college in the 80s, it was actually affordable. You got value out of the degree because you were not in debt for years afterwards. I could see possibly attending for a highly specialized field, such as medicine, engineering or law, but outside of those professions, the cost benefit is no longer a wise decision. Stanford, as an example is about $80k per year if you live on campus and eat in the cafeteria. Even state schools are $15k and up. My daughter, when asked about college, did not see going for the cost involved, which made a lot of sense to me.

Just because you don’t agree with someone’s opinions - especially a historical figure - or how they conducted themselves personally does not mean their work should be negated or that their entire character was this way.

People flunked out all of the time, and the attitude in the college was 'don't want to work? don't let the door hit you in the ass'. I went back for my Masters in 2015 and I couldn't believe how it had changed. Nobody worked, no professor challenged anyone's ideas or introduced ideas that weren't 'coddled child friendly'.

Then INTEGRIS bought out the hospital and it was a nightmare going to corporate greed control. Christmas bonuses then went to a $25 gift certificate to the hospital gift shop where a candy bar was doubled the price at the grocery store. They picked on & tried to fire the experienced nurses to avoid them being there 10 years to qualify for pension. They stopped rolling over time off into the “bank” for use at a later date but would refuse time off saying we were a specialty unit and couldn’t be filled with agency nurses. They teamed with OK Unemployment to refuse benefits. Corporate hand in hand with political corruption. At our orientation at the buyout the woman demanded no tolerance for missed days of work. At the end when she asked if any questions an employee asked what about calling in if we’d died. He was grinning and she puffed up, turned red face and hatefully said “Then you BETTER have someone call in for you!” All of us looked shocked at each other, sadly hit with the stark reality that this brand of healthcare was NOT a good thing.

That's because these colleges focus way too much on theory and abstract crap rather than real applications. I mean...my own opinion is this. Most college students are just lazy, and college administrators know it. Students would rather get an easy degree in philosophy or psychology or something like that, rather than study something really hard like biology or chemistry or physics, or some other area of study where a real brain is required and you have to study like 12 hours a day just to pass! It's really shameful what's going on in these schools. The teachers suck. They are very lazy. They teach stuff that students won't use in the real world. Most math majors for example should be able to pass the first two or three actuarial examinations after getting their math degree, but that's usually not the case! Why not? Because colleges don't care! They don't prepare math students for the actuarial examinations BUT THEY SHOULD. Most computer science majors know the merge sort algorithm really well, but can't figure out how to design a website from scratch! That is just shameful! And these days if you go to a college you're going to drown in all the DIE crap. (Diversity, Inclusion and Equity) If you dare to speak out against it, you'll probably get censored and have to leave the college. It's a damn joke. It really is. And in the long run it's going to send a lot of potential students away. They will either join the military or go to a trade school or something like that, but I predict that if things don't change, then we're going to see colleges and universities in America with RECORD LOW STUDENT ENROLLMENTS within the next couple of decades. It's going to get bad, and I predict that eventually some of the smaller colleges and universities will just close their doors and fold. And that's because they really don't care about learning and teaching. All they care about is sucking money from the students so that the administrators can get their six-figure salaries. Totally shameful that this is going on in what is supposedly the greatest country in the world.

Religion? I don't think so. LOL You won't find much religion on most campuses. You are right that they shut out more conservative profs, after about the 80s. But there are plenty of Leftist radical profs that run the show, believe me. They have too much power because they are popular with students - gullible young people who like a rebel no matter how immoral and stupid he/she may be.

The sad thing is, years ago, Bill Maher literally ridiculed conservatives on his show for predicting what "a certain amount of foolishness" would eventually lead to. They figured that "in for a penny, in for a pound" would also apply to identity politics, intersectionality etc., but he, his liberal guests and the audience would have none of that nonsense. Today at least Bill Maher apears a little wiser.

My life would not have been as good without a college education. I went to a community college first, very excellent instruction, and then to a state college, also excellent. The best thing to get out of college, besides the degree which opens many many doors, is the ability to become a Critical Thinker and to learn how to learn anything. It also allows you to live in a community and engage with other students and teachers...helps you to grow as a person. I would recommend to anyone to get some kind of college education, community colleges are great and you can transfer your credits to a state college and finish your degree at a reasonably low cost...it is well worth it... by the way , I studied Engineering, so I have a high regard to those that can think analytically and solve problems...and have a high regard for the Scientific Method of evaluating evidence and observations.

Why is it everyone here seems to think the only important thing is to find a job that will make you a lot of money? If we all thought that this would be a very sterile world indeed. What would it be like with no poets, no writers, no artists, no musicians, no philosophers, no historians? What about people who have absolutely no interest in computer programming or business? Are we all useless people? My husband and I are classical musicians, our children are as well. We make half as much, maybe even a quarter as much as my brother and sister, both with their own businesses. But we have a nice life, when you have less, you need less. We make other people happy with our music...children, the elderly, the disabled. I love teaching children about beauty, the beauty in a melody that feeds your soul.. And I'll warrant we are happier than a lot of you guys chasing after business deals. " Money isn't everything" may be a worn out cliche' but it is very true. If I was stuck in am office or running a business I think I'd shoot myself. We are all different, maybe people who don't understand that and think trade schools are the answer for everyone would benefit from a little culture..

I don't disagree about a lot of the commentary about modern colleges here. That said, if we're going to talk about not understanding nuance regarding Israel and Palestine, I think that needs to start with understanding that it isn't about the entire nation of Isreal vs the entire Palestinian people. It's really about judging the actions of the Israeli government and judging the actions of Hamas, and then realizing that the citizens of Isreal should not be victimized by violence and neither should the Palestinian people themselves. If that sounds controversial to you then basic morality will sound offensive and confusing to you.
