He's talking about college but he sounds like he's bitching about high school

IF I DROP OUT OF COLLEGE IM GONNA BE LIKE ZUCKERBERG AND GATES. JUST FUCKING LIKE THEM.

>>5731436
why do people think like this? same for pot smokers.

Didn't bother watching because it was ripoff of the Jesus video

>>5731434
The fucker is Hippocratic also.

He's one of this people who graduates from college and preaches about how it's not worth it, just to 'thin the competition'. That's low man, real low. People like the video, just because it's emotionally appealing.

"Let me give you some statistics"
> goes on to list a few examples of extreme outliers instead of any real statistics. If people are retarded enough to buy this shit then they probably won't make it into college anyways

>>573144
how is it the same for pot smokers?

The guy has a point! Our current educational system is a complete failure and waste of time.

That alone is bad enough, Yet on top of that, its also an unnecessary middleman that has incurred a massive amount of debt on its students.

This whole thing just doubles our losses.

Our elementary and high schools are what needs improvement. Our universities are ranked the best in the world

>>5731469
>Our universities are ranked the best in the world
> Ranked
Is America the only country that compares universities?

>>5731475
What are you talking about? The rankings always include Cambridge, Oxford, Tokyo University, and a couple others but the list is stacked in the united states favor.

>niggers arguing against education

This is a surprise?

>>5731475
No, every country in the world does so.

Also, Im not gonna dignify this retarded video with a direct response to its fallacies and idiocies.

Our universities may be producing quality academic work right now but they're headed down dire straits.
In reality our universities are increasingly becoming massive profit machines.

Take my brother's history professor, for example. The man makes $176,000 per year and only teaches 4 hours a week, with an additional 4 hours of office hours. Mind you that this is a state university that is being funded with my tax dollars. Sure he's also required to do research but I can tell you that plenty of professors pretty much just mooch off of the work of their students. On top of this man's salary: he gets benefits, paid vacations, and paid sabbaticals.

Seems legit

>>5731436
Yeah this is my main problem with the video, the names these people cite are 0.00001% of the population

>>5731486
>history professor
>research

What is there to research?

>>5731486
State universities are different. State school professors are living the life - easy job, state pensions, tenure. Many private school professors would be better off at a high school in a rich neighborhood

Actually the poorer neighborhoods pay teachers more, and it's harder to fire them so..

that guy is not saying "hey kid dont go to school it s a waste of time" he is implaying that going to school doesnt secure you an education and he is exposing the some flaws of the U.S educational system.

now if you want to to bash the kid cuz he is black go ahead make yourself look like a webfag.

>>5731524
What flaws did he expose? Please fill me in oh wise one.

>open video
>already disliked it but can't remember why
>0:40 in he mentions Jobs, Zuckerberg and Winfrey as part of his "statistics"
>immediately pause
>report for child abuse
>close tab

>>5731338
How about going to school because taking a risk by dropping out and BECOMING FAYMUSS is too much of a far-fetched deal. And, who says that I have to have some ulterior reason to go; maybe I just want to learn things and not be a deadbeat who makes "emotionally moving" videos. Maybe I want to understand the world a little more than I did yesterday.
