Is college really worth it, or are we just wasting time and money? In this eye-opening episode of the Not Safe for Society podcast, we kick things off with a bold critique of the US education system. Drawing from personal experiences, I challenge the necessity of college and highlight the inefficacy of teachers who lack real-world experience. We also touch on a spectrum of significant political issues, including inflation, healthcare affordability, border security, and the ever-contentious topic of gun violence. This candid and unscripted commentary is designed to spark thought-provoking insights and meaningful conversations.
We then transition to the growing importance of trade skills in today’s job market. Reflecting on my own journey, I discuss the pressures of higher education and the lack of encouragement for alternative career paths like entrepreneurship and sales. Through my experiences in community college, university, and the military, I emphasize how traditional trades can offer substantial opportunities for financial and professional growth. This segment aims to redefine success beyond the conventional college route and highlight the lucrative potential of traditional trades like electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians.
Finally, I share my personal journey from college to the military and into a successful sales career, arguing that college often fails to teach essential real-world skills like critical thinking and problem-solving. We explore the chaotic state of the political system, immigration policies, and gun rights, while also announcing the exciting addition of live guests to the podcast. With a commitment to real, unfiltered discussions, this episode promises to deliver authentic and thought-provoking ideas. Tune in and join the conversation!
