Dylan Vergara argues that successful people buy online courses, not because they're gullible but because focused learning beats traditional college. He's seen wealthy individuals invest heavily in skill-specific courses while college graduates with six-figure debt struggle financially.
This just in, course buyers are all dumb and gullible and broke and have nothing going for them. That's what I would say if it were true, but honestly, a lot of the most successful people that I know buy a lot of freaking courses. I've bought a lot of courses. A lot of people I know also spent a lot of money on college and they don't like their lives right now. There's anomalies on either end of this, but I don't think I know anyone who's bought $50,000 worth of courses and just is dead broke and doesn't own a business or whatever. Like, do you guys know people that spend a lot of money on courses and they just like are straight up deadbeats? Because I know people who spend a lot of money on college and are deadbeats. I think there's something— we, we have to give some credit to the course buyers, man. I don't know if they're all just getting lucky or what, but, uh, you know, if you can go and find someone who's genuine and can help you develop a specific specific skill set that's going to solve a problem, get you to a goal in your life. Like, why would I not pay somebody money to do that? Because if I want to go to college, I have to pay for like 30 classes that are adjacent to the thing that I actually want to do just to get the paper. And I have it. I have a bachelor's degree. So can we, uh, you know, course sellers, different story. Instagram loves to talk about course sellers, man. Let's put some respect on course buyers for once. Thank you.
