A YouTube video (transcript excerpt) arguing that investing in applicable, career-focused training can offer higher long-term value than traditional college for some people. The speaker emphasizes 'value' of practical courses, frames education as a long-term career investment, and gives a personal anecdote about spending a lot on college (including expensive tools) without finishing.
And then I looked at what you give in the course, and I'm like, okay, value, Value, Value, Value City. So a lot of people may think, oh, I don't want to spend this amount or that amount on myself, but this is the business you want to do. This is really what you consider yourself doing for the next 20, 25, 30 years. Then the investment is nothing. You know, I mean, I went to college and I spent, like, God knows how much money between the tools being five grand per semester and then the class, and then I didn't even finish, and I spent the money.
