My advice to my students was always the same when it comes to college:
1. Community college for the first two years. It's cheap and in some states, free. Rather than go deeply into debt, have a gap year after CC, live at home that year, and work/save.
2. Major in whatever you want, but get a minor in a practical field like accounting, etc. I did that and ended up working as an accountant for years when no one was hiring teachers.
3. College is part of your education, not all of it. Work in the summer, do internships, etc, to get practical experience and see what fits with you. Get skills, experience, connections.
4. Money isn't everything. I know highly-paid people who are miserable in their work. Find out what you're good at and find a way to make a living at it. Not having a huge student loan debt will help you make better choices.
5. College isn't for everybody. Many successful people have quit college or skipped it altogether to start their own businesses, acquire skills, etc. My nephew joined the Navy and acquired a lot of technical skills and training. Don't try to force a square peg into a round hole.

I expect Netflix will be taken over by another company or hedge fund etc in the coming year, and many more deals will be cancelled. Reed Hastings shoveled money to the Obamas as a legal bribe, and what has he gotten for his money? Can anybody name one show they've produced? If so, how successful was it?
Meghan and Harry's $135 million dollar content deal with Netflix was always ridiculous. Meghan is a C-list actress and Harry is a British royal, not the brightest people God ever put on the Earth. If you're going to spend $135 million, spend it on talented, creative people who could actually make something folks want to watch.
Nobody knows how much the Obamas got paid for their Netflix production deal, but my Hollywood sources say it's at least $300 million, and the Obamas get paid whether their shows get produced or not. Reed Hastings sure screwed over the workers at Netflix by throwing money at Barry and Michelle.
Here's a sample of one of the shows the Obamas are producing:
“Listen to Your Vegetables & Eat Your Parents,” a half-hour series for preschoolers that will “take young children and their families around the globe on an adventure that tells us the story of our food.”
$300 million for a glorified Sesame Street episode?
I'm canceling my Netflix at the end of this billing cycle, by the way. I have three streaming services: HBOMax, Amazon Prime, and Netflix. The first two have shows I actually want to watch, with HBO far and away the winner. Netflix runs a distant third. I originally signed up for Netflix to get DVDs, and Hastings foolishly disinvested resources in that part of the business. DVD rentals enabled Netflix to provide content for which it can't afford or get digital licenses and was very popular, but Barry, Harry, Michelle, and Meghan gotta get paid somehow.

The problem with many people today is that they take advice from their social media followers.
Social media followers who question bad life choices get blocked.
Social media followers who cheer on doing dumb, self-defeating stuff get a ❤❤❤ from the person they're following.
Either stop listening to "followers" on Instagram, Youtube, TikTok, etc, or else start listening to the ones who are telling you what you DON'T want to hear but what you may NEED to hear.
I'm glad I had my parents and other trusted people in my life to guide me, not a random bunch of strangers who liked my TikTok video about me dumping a perfectly nice person because I was bored after three weeks.
Everything and everyone has to be entertaining now, and if you're not good at putting on a song and dance routine and just want to be a normal person who isn't launching a sea kayak out of a plane to go whitewater rafting in the Grand Canyon and climbing Mount Everest later that week, God help you, because you're boring. No one has an attention span long enough to even read this comment (it's over ten words, a magnum opus!). ENTERTAIN ME OR BEGONE.
This is the world we made. Try not to choke on it.
