  1. neither does a bachelor or masters when it comes to STEM and trades, ask me how I know.

  2. They are.

  3. IDK about surgeon, but I'd take an engineer who started self-educating at the age of 10-12 over any PhD from any university that solely relied on the education system. How do I know? The best engineers I know have not stepped foot in university and barely went to school. Instead they started self-educating from the age of 10-12 and going to private courses and they got engineering jobs During high school or straight out of high school. Now by the age of 23-25 they earn 3-6x the average salary.

  4. quite irrelevant. Most likely the first universities were in Babylon or somewhere there, but what matters is that they have been pointless for over 100 years.

  5. Sorry but no, STEM/Engineering graduates nowadays are jobless unless they went to private course and/or self-educated. I know from experience, if I hadn't gone to private academies and read and mastered books, I would be jobless like my friends from university. While the most successful people I know never stepped there, they started self-educating and going to private courses at the age of 10-12 and by 16-19 they had junior engineering jobs. Yes during high school.

  6. @ those are artificially made so by companies that until the last 10 years mandated degrees. Reading statistics without understanding their context and prerequisites is pointless.

  7. The education system wastes 12-20 years of your life, your youth while producing weak, stupid useless people. That goes doubly so for STEM(Ask me how I know). It's only useful for Law and Medicine and that's only because they are state mandated. You would learn infinitely more through self-education and private courses. If kids were specialized starting at the age of 10-12 in One engineering field, Or one trade, or law or commerce, by the time they are 16-20 years old, they'd be highly skilled and knowledgeable experts that would be able to work a middle position in their (sub)sphere and wouldn't be desperately handing out their CVs to 1000 companies hoping that one would hire them. I have almost two-dozen friends, acquaintances and people I know that didn't go to university, or even before finishing high-school, got engineering jobs paying 3-6x the average salary by the age of 22-25. How? They skipped school as much as possible without getting evicted, while going to private courses and self-educating. And they aren't the exception for a random reason, they are the exception, because they didn't follow the system. My best friend got a software engineering job after 10th grade(before finishing high school), two more friends got a network engineer job after 1tth grade, another one got a system admin job after 10th grade, two more friends got software engineering jobs straight out of highschool. Another friend got an automotive engineering job 1 year after graduation as he needed to get integrated in Germany. And the list goes on.

  8. @ How is it me problem? It's a problem of the people who wasted their youth in the "education" system only to come out next to useless. Goes triple so for STEM, I know that one from experience.

  9. @ The biggest issue is that they teach you nothing about everything, goes doubly so for STEM.

  10. oh no he got the name wrong, that means everything he said is wrong, thus nobody should listen to the video because some irrelevant facts were gotten wrong. The horror!

  11.  @razvanlipan7754  it should be negative.

  12.  @trickslies844  Well my friends from university with fancy degrees in CS, Telecom, machine engineering, system admin, etc, etc are jobless 2 years later. The only reason I'm not is because I self-educated and went to private courses to gain actual knowledge and skill.

  13. @ Only government mandated degrees are worth it and that's only because they are mandated like Medicine, Law and Architecture. They still teach you jack all in Medicine and Architecture I have a lot of relatives that are doctors and my father's company maintains and fixes medical equipment, I know a ton of doctors, most suck. But they have two dozen degrees that's for sure, both from uni and private courses.

  14. Sciences are a waste too. They don't teach you almost anything.

  15.  @dhruv9744  yeah and look at where we are listening to the social science people for the past 10 years?

  16.  @270Winchester  Yup, that is also a great way to become an engineer.

  17. @Krumpina1029 the latter needs a university because the government said so.

  18. @Krumpina1029 Or you can do research without being tied to a university.

  19.  @pecfexfextus  They apply to europe, university is worthless unless it's government mandated and guarantees you a job at the end like with law and medicine.

  20. And the agenda is to stop wasting people's time with school and university.
