"The finish line is death. Take your time." Yes, this should be communicated to high school seniors. The problem is there is such pressure on student from their teachers and counselors to go straight to college after high school. Most don't even know what they want to major in.

Yesterday I decided not to attend college and I have been spending the last day watching videos on people who made the same decision. This video put into words exactly how I feel about the entire situation and made me feel better.

School is a factory that produces employees. I mean just think about is, your whole life ur told by ur parents and society that in order to survive in life u must go to school, go to college fall in student loan debts u can’t declare bankruptcy, all of that hopping to secure a high paying 9-5 job, basically telling u to work for money and become a slave for money. And with the schools system being outdated companies aren’t hiring just because u have paper that says U have a degree cause school isn’t preparing you for life, school is not teaching you about money. The professors don’t even practice what they’re teaching. It’s basically a system that we’re trapped in and what’s keeping us poor. On the other hand the rich and wealthy entrepreneurs like Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates e.t.c who are dropouts Run those businesses and control your life and you don’t even know it. The rich don’t work for paychecks, they make passive income they acquire assets. By the way this is why most people aren’t wealthy cause school doesn’t teach about money, they tell you to get out of debt but they don’t tell you that there’s good debt and bad debt they tell you to save money that’s being printed by the government, but the wealthy save real money like gold cause the price never goes down it only goes up but money losses value over time. So if you have kids in the future, take them out of school teach them through life experience not just theory, first and foremost, take your mind set out of the system, out of the Matrix. ‼️‼️

Your video made me tear up. Not because it was funny and certainly not because I am just an emotional person, but because someone out there understands. Thank you for being a voice for people like me out there because you truly don't know how comforting it is to have confirmation that you are doing what's best for you even when the people that are closest to you don't believe it. The internet can be toxic but it is definitely a blessing at the same time. Wish you nothing but success.

i cannot express how i grateful i am for this video. i’m a senior in high school and i’ve been stressing about college and my future for months

i’m going through this rn n i am terrified but college was never for me you can like feel in your heart when something isn’t for you !!

Smart 19 year old. Do what you love and the money will follow. Your parents did a great job raising you.

I have chosen not to go to college, and I don't regret it. Hopefully, you'll come back on KZfaq, you are probably focused on something bigger and more valuable in your life at this moment. Keep crushing!

Never related more to a video more, 18 just graduated from high school, not attending college.

YES GIRL YOU SAID THAT SHIT JUST RIGHT! i’m with you! 💯

Probably the best video to watch on "Not going to college" after Nathaniel Drew's video... watched this till the very end..

i literally went through a crisis the past 3 months about this same issue, i’m only 16 and idk what i want to do for the rest of my life and i think some of that mental stress came from trying to force myself to figure it out “now”. i talked to my counselor about it and she told me not to make a final decision on anything right now and give yourself time and to explore and try things out. and even if i don’t figure it out soon, the universe will help me 💯👍🏾

They say school is helps you find a great job but not always you can create the job like work for sometime then open your place like bakery boutique or something college is not for everyone.

Universities have 2 sales pitches to hook students. One is to sell them on the more marketable majors like: STEM or business. then, for the students who do. not want to. major in a maketable major, there is still the idea that its the professional networks and. connections you make that really get you a job. Problem is, there is tens of thousands of students graduating with marketable degrees from prestigous universities, and some of them are having a hard time finding a job. So, if you have a liberal arts degree from a mid tier state. college, you are competing with them and still have student loans to deal with.

im not alone,i agree with you.Definitely not going to college.A piece of paper dont define your future or how sucessful you would be in life

omg i totally agree with her, i'm taking a gap year bcs i can't afford college and i'm contemplating not going at all. i feel like college is just a waste of time and money, i'd only do it to get the connections but i feel like i can do it without college, but idk these days all jobs require a degree, like i just want to learn....,most internships in my country are also for college students only...

Hey great video! I've also had a similar experience as you, I just finished my second year of university and so far Ive hated the experience and I left my university. I don't want to get to the point where I finish my degree and just feel I've wasted my money and time. I also have videos on my channel talking about my experience on this, please do check it out!

lowkey...might just do work-aways for the rest of my life and travel

I’m a junior in hs and it just annoys me so much how many people ask where I’m going for college like ik it’s just a thing that people just expect but I fr don’t want to go like I have no desire to spend thousands of dollars that I don’t have to get a degree in something unneeded or just drop out tbh I don’t know what I want to do but why does that matter

I really needed to watch this video! love this!

just rewatched this... hitting different right now ily

Ur channel is so underrated i love this video and when u said u felt like getting out of the country or city and meeting new people was only possible thru college but it isnt i related so much i have always felt i was the only person who thought that....i relaised college was supposed to be a variable for freedom for me not a place i actually go to love the subject im studying I rlly wish i could do that but my parents are very rigid about this stuff and how a formal education is the only way i can be a good person and if i dont im gonna be unemployed on the street and being a illiterate person who cant speak like idk how that works but just why

Internships are helpful because it’s real world experience in the actual field so that you can see if you like the job! I’m a PR major like you mentioned you were thinking about and didn’t figure out that is what I loved until Junior year after gaining internship experience!

I reply to everything with i dont know and im not lying cuz i seriously dont its not a direct yes/no.like i dont know what to do if a dont go to college and i dont know what to do if i do go to college .

thank you so much for this. I appreciate this so much you’re amazing❤️

I love this video especially at 7:44! It felt like you read my mind!😂😊

I needed this so much thank you

Thanks Pau this video was really helpful I’m gonna drop out but I’m starting out just taking this semester off!

Tried to explain that to my mom and she wouldn’t even let me show her that I can become an entrepreneur and make 6 and 7 figures doing what I like. 😭😔

I feel you !

This video is awesome!

I relate to you sm omg

Go you Paula!! Pursue what you want to (:

love it! love you! totally agree!

Hi there. I appreciate you making this video. I think it is informative and I respect the points you make but, I have one friendly concern I want to share with you and an advice I'd like to give you from my experience. You said you can go back to school whenever you want at age 22, 35, or 56. There's a saying "it's never too late to get your degree or to acheive anything." That's true but, as someone who dropped out at 20 after a year and got back at 24 I'll say if you're going to go, go right now when you're still young and in your 20s. The more time passes by when you're out of school the harder it gets to return. Plus once you're over 25 it becomes psycologically difficult to accept yourself as a student and hard to learn because you're labeled "adult student" and old by everyone. It becomes mentaly unbearable to know all people you knew in highschool or neighborhood are in careers and have finished school while you're way behind. Society including some people within your family won't be as nice to you. An education higher than a highschool diploma is required by society these days even if it won't guarantee you success in the job market. Go as soon as you can since you don't know what can happen in the future. The COVID pandemic is a good example. If anyone is offended or hurt by my comments I apologize but, I am giving a friendly heads up from what I have been through.

Your so beautiful but the point that your so right...!!

i don't want to go to college, i don't have the money... i want to study business or finance do you think i should go to college? or is it better to intern? i want to go to college bcs idk how to meet people and build connections without college.... any advice?

College is considered an investment in the future right? Students pay their tuition and try to get the degree. I feel like I'd be better off elsewhere in regards to becoming a college dropout myself... my question is this, are you able to sustain yourself while being able to pursue and discover all of the freedom that you want? I know this video is older so this means you are along this path and it would be nice to know where it led you :)

I can relate to you a lot lol

💙💙💙💙

thankyou

I’m new here

Its cause you're already making money on youtube......

i completely agree with your reasoning of quitting college as most of the stuff i learned in highschool i never used in rl and one of my friends said it during class and i wanted to say that i completely agreed with her because what we were learning we weren’t using it in rl and still aren’t today so me going to college wouldn’t be the best thing for me and personally i hated school compared to work which i really love doing because i feel like i’m actually learning and doing something useful which i didn’t feel when i was at school but anyways awesome video keep up the good work my friend
