He's got some good points and some bad. I think he's ranting because he went to college and it didn't amount to anything for him. It's understandable. I didn't learn anything in college either. I knew what I wanted to do and I had learned how to do it before going to college for it. So I pretty much winged college. I'm glad I did

I'm more concerned about kids going into college and they don't know what they want to do. So they waste time and money taking some classes for 2 years not knowing what they want to major in or what they like doing. After that they just decide to do whatever their friends are doing or just major in Business Administration. I would ask people in college what they are majoring in and they would say "I don't know." My response would be "Then what the **** are you doing here?". Of course I would say that in my head, not out loud.
Those kids are going to college because their parents want them to or because society says it's important. It's not wrong to do that, but they need to know what they want to do in life.
I really think we need to do away with 2 years of high school. And cut college down to 2 years also. There shouldn't be that many lecture classes. There should be 50% lecture and 50% hands on. By hands on I mean you do stuff that you would do if you where hired by someone in that field.
I was at SuperCuts a few weeks ago and I was chatting with hair stylist as she was cutting my hair. She told me that her friend loved being a hair stylist so much that she didn't even go to college and just started her own shop. She's making 6 figures.
