Short YouTube opinion piece asking "Is college a scam?" The speaker argues it depends on the profession: some careers (e.g., doctors, attorneys) require formal schooling, while for other roles practical experience and mentorship (e.g., learning on-the-job from a successful CEO) may be more valuable. The speaker takes a middle-ground stance.
Is college a scam? I mean, it depends on what you do. If you're going to be an attorney, you kind of go to go to law school. If you're a doctor, you're probably going to want your doctor to go to some type of schooling. How are you going to be a brain surgeon that went to medical school? You'll probably get arrested. Are there some business schools you can get some good skills? Yes. Would you? I'd rather have that person working for a company and being mentored by a CEO that was really successful. Yes. Way more. Because they're going to get practical experience. So some professions you don't need to go to school. Other professions you probably need to go to school. That's it. I'm in the middle on this one.
