It seems that a lot of people get really confused

over and over again and they're just wondering

"I don't know, should I go? Should I go college?

Maybe I should just not go college." And few things in life

in one direction or another. The actual answer

is going to be very clear. It's going to be like

200% yeah you probably should have gone to college.

If you had the ability to travel back and forth in time

You would probably be able to see that one path led you

And so what I'm trying to say is that, likely, a lot of people are just

coming up with excuses to avoid a difficult decision.

Like if you're just trying to run away from college, if you just don't want to apply,

you don't want to put in the work then, that's not really a great decision.

A lot of people like to reference Mark Zuckerberg

or Bill Gates who dropped out of college but in reality these people

they got into Harvard, they went through all the work.

They weren't really running away from college. They had gotten in

and then they were going on to something higher than that.

Now, the diploma is a very interesting thing

to think about and one thing that we can relate it to

This is very much like a diploma and we're going to unbox this for you

but this is where I actually have a multitool

which I can use to open this package. And I

will have a link for this in the description below

It's very cool. It has a Youtube logo on there.

If you want one, you wanna go apply to Youtube and go work there

Now the funny thing is when I worked at Youtube everyone

They were just engineers. THIS (the silver button)  means that you are a Youtuber. So, as I was saying,

the diploma is one way you can use to prove

what you know. You know, you don't necessarily need to point people to

a bunch of random of projects and things that you may have done

and then people have to wonder: "Was this real? Are you just lying?

How can I validate any of this?  Was this really

what I think it is? Or was it something less?"

You know, the diploma is just going to be a very easy way to just prove your accomplishments.

It is one of your easiest and fastest ticket into a company.

So my question is: what else are you going to do with your time?

Right? Like... yeah you can go off and you can create a bunch

of your own little web projects and little web applications and maybe

won't succeed. Even if one of them do succeed, if it

doesn't generate significant revenue or if it doesn't provide for you the sufficient technical background to

then that's going to be a short term lived thing.

And so what I'm really saying is I think that in my eyes

a college degree is just a really fun and easy path

into getting something that may help you get a job.

There's a bunch of different ways to land your first job.

Most of them are going to be very difficult. You got to really hustle.

You gotta do a bunch of stuff. You gotta work on some ideas.

And then, here, one of the key components into

there's a very clear and easy simple path. And

what's better is it's usually a pretty fun path. Like

College is generally a time that is a little bit funnier than other times in your life

You are gonna want to come by and take a look at what I'm doing here because this is getting interesting.

Ow that's nice. It's a nice little letter.

TechLead. So this is my diploma. And by the way

Thanks to all the subscribers that made this happen. I like

how it's a mirror so you can actually see yourself in the logo.

So with this if I ever wanted to apply for a job to be like a Youtuber

then all I have to do is to show the employer this

and they might hire me to be like their official Youtuber or something like that.

You know it's funny that there's been a trend towards people bashing on education

and people saying like you know, "college is useless", "it costs a bunch".

But it's funny that when I look around at the office, it's like everyone's got degrees.

If you actually take a look at what they are doing

and not just listen to what they're telling you, you'll see that

a lot of people in this day and age are still looking for your

education on your resume and they still want to know where you went to school,

what your major was. And it's unfortunate that that's

what this world is like right now, but that's just the way it is.

All you need to do is go on LinkedIn, find some company that you maybe interesting in

What sort of educational background these people have?

About a year ago I checked out the educational backgrounds of all the senior leadership.

People who are directors, vice presidents, senior management.

And if you take a look at the educational background of all of them

I was surprised to find, was pretty serious education like,
