you guys liking the series so far and uh right now we've got a special guest go ahead and introduce
yourself man the flex got himself the one and only the dondada oh big business in the building
so in this episode we're going to be talking about college and we're going to go ahead and get right
into it so first question is did you go to college yes i did i went to community college okay okay
i got my uh aaa in psychology hey psychology okay look at this man college grad and stuff okay mama
ain't raised no dummy mom ain't raised no food nah but um did i go to college no i did not go
to college i didn't go to college just because oh no i guess i was just i didn't even want to
go to school like i finished like 12 years you know going to school and i didn't want to just
go straight to school like to take that break yeah and a lot of people i knew like had jobs and stuff
so i'd rather just you know get a job and then at the time i really wanted a car so i wanted to try
to buy a g35 at the time so i was like no i'm about to just join the workforce and then just
have my life take me to where it's going to take me pretty much no i feel it because that's what
it'd be especially us as young black men you know we've been most of us was raised in poverty and
stuff like that and some of us was fortunate but when we're not used to having things in our lives
and then we just went to school for 12 years you know some of us want to get straight to it get the
money and get live our lives while we're young and stuff so ain't nobody not gonna say ain't nobody
but some people don't want to go to school for another four to eight years it's too much yeah
it's already enough we had to go to school for 12 years as it is and now that you adult you feel
like man i ain't doing this like you know what i'm saying like he's gonna live your life yeah i just
want to live my life at this point like i'm tired of being told that i can't go to the bathroom
i gotta raise my hands yeah yeah no it's funny just gotta get a hard pass yeah you gotta get a
hall pass and stuff now i'm cool like you know i'm ready to just i know they don't do that in college
y'all but i'm just saying it's just a little joke yeah but yeah y'all i didn't go to college and um
that's gonna lead me into my next question so the next question i'm gonna ask is did your parents
push you to go to college and how did that like how did that like really impact your life like did
you want to do something different than you know going to college like did you want to get a job or
did you want to start up your own business like did your parents just like hey you got to go to
college you got to go to college you got to go to college like did they really like put that
in your head to make you want to go to college so originally um ever since i was a kid i used
to always catch the southwest plane back and forth and stuff so um at the time i used to have
a passion for catching the planes and stuff just seeing the pilots and i told myself i wanted to be
a pilot for one of these big time airlines that was one of my dream jobs or career that i wanted
but i didn't have the right information or guidance to um know what steps i needed to take
in order to become a pilot you know now i know you need a pilot license and experience with smaller
planes but i didn't know that back then so i just felt lost so my parents always pushed
go to college and get a good job pretty much like the tradition you know they never taught me to um
start my own business and i'm not going to lie i love them and i know they help guide me but as far
as that go i have to disagree with that because you don't always have to work underneath somebody
um i wish they would have put it into my head when i was younger that i could be my own boss
and i don't necessarily have to go to college to be successful i could be successful putting in the
time into my own business or uh whatever my craft i feel like i could perfect and uh capitalize off
of so then pretty much like for me like my parents did like push college and my grandparents did
to like push college because majority of my cousins on my dad's side went to college so
you know they felt like you know that was the best thing for me you know to get like
um a degree you know get a a job or whatever where society wants you to go pretty much like yeah you
know go to college and get your degree and then go work for somebody else you know what i'm saying
and since i was younger like this might sound crazy y'all but i play madden a lot right and you
could vouch for this i love playing franchise mode why because i'm in i'm like the boss of that team
you know i'm in control of that team so ever since i've been playing madden since i was young and
i've been you know running these franchise modes and running these teams i said nah man you know i
want to do like i want to be a manager like that's all i knew was like that was my dream job is like
being a manager why because you're in control right tell them about the um what madden was
that nfl coach yeah nfl coach yep he used to build his own stadium everything like he always been the
one to a creator that's why he does youtube now so it just it's ironic that he was creating his own
stuff when he was on ps2 tonight he's creating his own content on youtube i was a head coach it was
it was like madden on ps2 or something yeah where i created the berkeley beast you're talking about
berkeley the stadium the uniform and all that yep so it's like it gave me like i i knew that
all right i wanted to be a manager at some point like i wanted to be do some type of management
but um you know my parents was really pushing me and pushing me pushed me to go to college
and i actually did go to college and i went for like two weeks and then i dropped out because i
didn't i just didn't want to go to college anymore like i i just didn't want to do no more schooling
i knew what i wanted to do i was like all right maybe if i join the workforce i can work myself
up into being a manager something like that it's where i can kind of like control things and like
you know feel like i'm running something you know i'm saying before i even thought about
being an entrepreneur so um yeah so back onto the question yeah my parents did you know push me to
go to college but you know i didn't so we're going to talk about how can you benefit from
going to college and how can you not benefit from going to college okay so i would say as far as it
benefits you of course when you get your degree it gives you that kind of like that head start over
people when you're trying to apply for certain positions and there's also like some of the
higher paying jobs requires a two-year four-year and master degrees so you have to meet those um
requirements as is and um also i would say that the networking you'd be surprised how
many people you could meet in college that could help benefit you in the workforce like they you
could use them as your reference or say if you're both in the same field and your friend lands the
job they could help put you on to that job as well so college to me getting a degree is important but
also networking is very important it's you gotta remember it's tens of thousands of students going
to college you want to try to get to meet as many people as you can because you just never know
when you might need to ask them for a favor in the workforce now um as far as what it doesn't benefit
i would say say i just got out of college with my degree and then there's somebody else that didn't
go to college but they've been in the workforce longer depending on the job they might if we're
both applying for the same position they might cater to the person that's been in the workforce
because they have the experience working as of me all i have is a degree but no experience in
the work field so it kind of just has the pick and choose that i would say that's the downside
of it another thing is depending on what fields you get your degree in sometimes there's a lot of
degrees out there that can be useless and you just wasted your time and money on things like that um
my psychology degree it does benefit like you could use it towards um like being a mentor or
a counselor for students and stuff like that but as of right now i haven't been able to use it so
sometimes i feel like it was a waste of my time and i could have just started off in the workforce
as soon as i got to high school if i would have known that but unfortunately i was pushed into
going to college due to my parents pushing that issue on me to get my degree so all i did was
got all my um general eds and then when i got to my last year of college i knew i wanted to
go into psychology for my major so i only had to take a few classes then i was pretty much done
and for me like because i mean i never been to college but um like college college i was
in community college for like two weeks like i said i dropped out honestly i think like college
could benefit you like if you're trying to like all right let's say if you want to be a doctor
or a nurse or something like that then of course college is going to benefit you but let's say if
you want to be like in business or something i feel like college is not really going to benefit
you unless you're going for like the networking and stuff like that yeah depending on where you're
going but to be honest like it's all about who you know not what you know in this world and the the
older that i got you know realized like me being out in this world is like it's really about who
you know not what you know like i know somebody who works at this certain type of job right okay
you may need a license to get in i don't have to get a license to get in or they'll train me
because it's about who i know you know what i'm saying yeah but if i was somebody off the street
no you have to have the the license and you have to you know have the certificate and all that
i don't have to have that yeah but for me i know this person i know the ball so i won't you know i
don't have to go through that yeah some strengths put some streams for you so it's like i feel like
it all depends on what you do in college like all right like you said like you got like medical law
um science computer science stuff like that but like those are the best colleges or if you want to
be a teacher or something like that i guess then you know of course you got to go to college but
the main part is like kind of go for what you know like don't go like just to because your parents
want you to go to college like you just signed up for like you going you you going to college
and you major in the history like you know what what is that going to do for you you know i'm
saying you're going to be a teacher yeah you're going to be mad as hey you know going to college
you know doing all that to you know just do whatever you probably never gonna use the
degree you're just going just because so don't be one of those people you just go just because and
then uh because you're really just wasting your time and stuff and then i'll say like um benefit
that is not gonna help you going to college if you have an entrepreneurial mindset because
if you have an entrepreneur mindset then um college is really like a waste of time because
a lot of the people who are successful and as successful entrepreneurs i say didn't
even go to college and even graduate had a high school you know what i'm saying so
it's really like a waste of time like you know you if you want to be an entrepreneur and just work
on your craft or whatever like you know like if you're in high school right now you want to just
want to be a youtuber you want to be an actor or whatever work on your craft right now
and don't worry about the college and stuff like that because you already know where you want to
head into your life a lot of people are going to push you when you are in school or high school
like oh go to college go to college but if you know that you want to be an actor you want to
be a rapper you want to be a youtuber or you want to own your own shop or you want to you know you
want to do whatever like just work when your work on your craft and then all that stuff is
going to happen later on because what college would do uh you're going to do all this stuff
for college and you're not even going to use it because you already know what you want to do so
it kind of like your whole plan is kind of just going to backfire pretty much so if
you're going to go to college just make sure you know what you want to do pretty much and i want to
say this real quick live out your dreams nobody else matter this this is your life you do what
satisfies you whether you're going to college or not that was my problem as you as um being younger
i was too busy trying to satisfy my parents on what they wanted instead of trying to look out
for yourself myself and what i had a passion for so if you guys don't feel like college is the
road that you need to take to for your career don't go there's nothing wrong with that you
don't feel like you didn't go to college that you're not going to be successful it's plenty of
um trades that you could go to to get certificates or start your own business anything like that and
you could make more than some of these um college graduates make all right it's gonna lead me into
the next thing i'm gonna ask is is it worth going to college in 2022 now i'm gonna start this one
honestly i feel like it's worth it if you going to do something like like i said before medical
law computer science just anything like within that within those fields because of course you
have to go to college to do something like that but if you like i said before if you're going
if you if you're trying to be an entrepreneur or you're trying to do like you own your own business
and stuff like that i feel like it's really not worth it going to college in 2022 because
google is a strong strong engine like you know like you can literally learn anything off of
google like start your own businesses llcs um you know taxes stuff like that you can learn so much
off of google and youtube to where google is your college or youtube is your college or even like
going buying books if you like reading books and stuff like that like there's so many resources out
there for you to where's like you kind of don't even need to go to college like if you want to do
like entrepreneurial but if you want to like you know do medical and you know law stuff like that
you know whatever you need to go to college for then i'd definitely say go to college but if you
want to be an entrepreneur you want to you know yeah pretty much if you want to be an entrepreneur
then i would say college is definitely a waste of time in 2022 with all the resources that we
got right now hey i have to agree with you um is it worth it it's 50 50. it all depends on what
field you're trying to pursue um in this day and age i feel like college back then like in the 80s
90s and before that was pretty important like you was gonna secure a very good job but i feel like
since the internet has grown since what the early 2000s and stuff like that
you could use the internet to gain so much knowledge that you don't even need to go to
school for it and there's so many resources up on the internet if you just find the right websites
and you could learn so much that you don't even need to go to schools like you go type in youtube
how to do an oil change or anything like i usually i go to youtube to look up specific
things and learn it myself and say 65 of youtube is actually learning things people go to youtube
65 percent of the time just to learn things so yeah that tells you a lot so i would say
it's 50 50. it just all depends but um you can make so much money just off of like
cryptocurrency and all the ways that we're going towards now digital marketing the digital market
you don't even need to go to school for that kind of stuff don't get me wrong it's good to be to
gain knowledge and be informative on those type of things so you can know what to expect and try
to make as less errors least amount of errors as possible but you know at the end of the day
your internet is your best friend especially if you try to be entrepreneur yeah this is going to
be the ending of this episode you guys obviously it's getting dark outside so i'm gonna have to
wrap this one up real real quick i'll try to get it done for you guys fast before you get dark
