- Why colleges and universities are a scam.
Well, quite the bold video title here,
I'm very well aware of that.
But if you're someone who is seeking to become
very content with their way
they're making a living for rest of their lives, right?
And you're considering colleges or universities
as a potential option,
then this video is meant to give you
a little bit of a different light
away from the mainstream narrative.
And I hope it really kind of makes
your brain think a little bit more
whether or not this is really the right choice.
So, that being said, let's get started.
(upbeat music) Have you ever wondered
whether there's more to life
than a boring dead-end nine to five job?
Have you ever dreamed about breaking free,
you know, traveling the world,
making good money, and just enjoying life?
No more office dress code, no morning commute, no boss.
This channel is for you.
So here's to your freedom.
All right, welcome back to the channel,
Max Tornow here.
We're sitting here in our little home/home office.
And colleges are a scam because
simply they're overpriced,
and they're giving you too little value.
This is especially important
if you're someone living in the US,
where you have to pay for college
or university yourself, most of the time,
but even if you live in another country,
where you might not have to pay for everything yourself,
the opportunity costs are too high.
The time that you're spending in there is just too much.
It's not effective enough, okay?
Especially in times like these, you may have heard this,
but at Harvard, it's literally charging
the full price of $49,000 a year
for two semesters of home study.
All right, so you're not even going to the campus anymore.
Now they're charging the same for the home study.
I mean, you might as well learn from your home
for a program that does not
cost you $49,000 for two semesters
that you can also learn from home, right?
And I'm not even saying universities are evil,
and the owners of the university
are laughing their way to the bank,
and they're just counting your money, ha ha ha.
No, not at all.
It's simply an outdated system,
and it is not effective.
All right?
You got to understand that.
Why is it an outdated system?
Well, especially if you want to learn
how to build a business,
which I'm assuming because you're following this channel,
everything that they're teaching is just outdated.
I mean nowadays with most of businesses being done online,
or at least partially online, it's all moving so fast.
By the time a university professor,
who might not even have real life experience
of building their own business,
by the time that professor is coming up with a new plan
of teaching you the newest
up-to-date strategy for the internet
and using social media,
by the time he's coming up with that new plan,
it has to be approved by the board.
The whole semester or trimester has to be planned out.
I mean, even if that professor is working
really, really fast and well,
it might take even a year minimum
until that new program that should be on the pulse of time
is actually being taught to you as the student.
And that's a very, very long time.
I mean, if I would teach you the things
that were up to date two years ago,
they wouldn't even help you as much nowadays anymore, right?
And that's actually
one thing that we're doing with our programs,
we continuously keep those up to date,
and I'm feeling very sorry for professors
who have to go all these longer ways
to make sure that their programs are up to date.
And that is even assuming
that they even want to keep it up to date.
That's even in their own best interest,
which is usually not the case, right?
So it is very outdated.
It's also not effective, not from a price point.
If you think about it,
what do you actually pay for
when it comes to university or a college?
Well, of course, you're paying for the professors
who are teaching you.
Of course you're paying for the books
that are teaching you.
But again, books most likely outdated.
But you also pay for the reception staff.
You pay for the buildings.
You pay for the maintenance of these buildings.
You're paying for the historical value
of some of these universities out there.
All this is stuff that you're paying for
that doesn't really have any benefit for you,
the student, right?
But yet it costs you all this extra money.
And that's a very, very bad thing.
And that is why I believe
that most colleges and universities are a scam,
but it depends on what you want to be doing.
More on that in a second, all right?
If you haven't done so yet,
go give me a follow on my Instagram account.
I can highly recommend you my Instagram account,
I'm posting value nuggets on how to build a business.
I'm also trying to show
a little bit of the counterbalance
to all the whack influencers that are out there
that are just showing the great life.
You literally see me working many times
on my Instagram as well,
on top of having the cool lifestyle.
So I kind of want to show you that you have to work hard
in order to get where you want to be.
I'm trying to give a, an objective
of a view as possible on my Instagram account.
I'm also replying to all DMS.
I'm doing multiple live streams on there per week.
I'm doing Instagram, Q&A's in the stories,
and so on, so forth.
Highly recommend you joining it.
Also, feel free to join our other Instagram account,
which is the freedom business mentoring Instagram account.
This is where we're posting
about our most successful clients,
boasting value nuggets on there daily as well.
Really highly recommend both Instagram accounts
to give you a follow.
It's free value.
You know, it's a no brainer.
If you have your phone on there already,
we can show both accounts right now.
If you have your phone in your hand,
you can give a follow right now.
Now, what is the other reason why colleges are a scam,
or universities for that matter?
Well, people often kind of scam themselves
because they're going to college
or university for the wrong reason.
And that kind of brings me to what I've mentioned earlier.
Ask yourself what are your goals?
Because if you want to become a scientist, you say,
you know, hey, I want to do research.
I want to write scientific papers,
I want to be, you know, in the scientific community,
then by all means college
and university are the by far best choice,
highly recommend you going there,
and staying there as long as you possibly can, right?
If your goal is to become a lawyer, perfect.
Obviously university is going to be the right choice, right?
Katrina is lawyer.
She wants, she's going to university right now,
and that's great, right?
There's no other way to become a lawyer then university.
So you have to understand that.
But most people actually end up going to college
or university for the wrong reasons.
Number one, oh, everybody does it, right?
And that was the same reason
why I initially went to university
to study Latin and English,
which was just kind of this thing.
Everybody in high school started to continue
to go to university or college,
so I'm like, okay, I'll do it as well, I guess.
Right?
Some people do it
because of pressure from their parents, right?
Their parents want to brag with their kids.
My kid is going to so and so university.
My kid made it in, right?
Maybe that's not actually
something that you want to be doing,
but you're doing it just to
not disappoint your parents, right?
There's just no better option, right?
It's like, ah, I don't know what else I'm gonna do,
let me just go to college and university,
instead of maybe spending a day
or a weekend in introspection of actually asking yourself
what is it that I really want from this life?
Instead of, you know, exposing yourself
to your inner thoughts,
you just go to college for a couple of years
because you don't know what else you want to be doing.
It's not a good option either, right?
Societal pressure.
You know, society may dictate it to you.
Obviously we feel,
everybody feels societal pressure differently,
and to a different scale,
but maybe society, you feel like hey,
I'm supposed to go to college.
If I don't have a college degree,
people might think I'm stupid,
and so on and so forth.
All of these external reasons
are not really reasons why
you should be going to college or university.
Ask yourself, and that's the big important point here.
What are your goals in life?
What do you want to be doing in your life?
Again, do you want to be a scientist?
Good, go to college.
You want to be a lawyer?
Good, go to college.
You want to be a doctor?
Good, go to college, perfect, right?
But there are so many people that message me
on Instagram every day
or via email,
or people that I meet just at events,
and they're saying, you know,
oh, I'm going to college,
I'm studying business or something like that.
My big dream is to become free, to have my own business,
to enjoy the freedom lifestyle.
Then I'm like, why are you at university?
You have nothing to do there.
It's not going to get you to your goals.
I mean how many people do you maybe know
that have studied business development
or business management,
they don't know anything about building a business.
Most of the time it's outdated.
People that started marketing, right,
it's always outdated.
And it does not help you at all with building a business.
All right?
Sure some people might argue
well, it doesn't hurt going there.
And absolutely it doesn't hurt you,
but at the same time, it's not necessary.
And you could use that time
and energy that you're investing in college
into just building your own business, right?
Because again, college is usually not focused
on helping you build your own business.
Is there any college course out there that is,
that is saying like hello students,
in this semester we're gonna build your own business?
We're gonna help you make
your first four to five figures a month from scratch?
No, it's usually a bunch of theory that is outdated.
It's taught by a bunch of professors
who have never built their own business themselves.
And if they have,
oftentimes it's an older model
that doesn't even apply to nowadays standards anymore.
So I invite you to think about
what it is that you want to be doing in your life.
I want you to go in the introspection,
and ask yourself,
what is the type of income that I want to have?
How do I want to create that income?
Where do I want to be living?
With whom do I want to be living?
Who are the people that I'm spending time with?
And so on and so forth.
And really ask yourself if college
or university is the right choice for you.
And I really would like to invite you to think about the,
the bullet points that I've been giving to you
here in this wonderful video.
So that being said,
I want to thank you very much for watching.

- Hey guys.
So here's my testimonial video.
I'm now seven weeks in.
I got my first close for 1.2K.
And then a few days ago
I got my second close for 1.5K.
So here we go.
My background is kind of funny
because I did everything
that Max says in the videos that we shouldn't do.
I started my own company.
I worked from November to July, 10 to 12 hours a day,
not making any money, just getting exhausted.
Now, seven weeks into this program,
doing exactly what the coaches been saying,
I've been making over 3K in seven weeks.
Just want to say thank you to all the coaches.
Keep crushing it.
