1. Half of apple's employees do not have degrees? BIG CAPPING 🤔

2. This is missing major context…these are people who got lucky and found gainful employment. In addition they are stuck at those jobs, if they lose them they will be fvck3d royally. These employers are also not common, sure, education is not required for a good job or career, it takes no education to be a State Senator. But its extremely unlikely.

3. Its sad how students are pushed and forced to go to college, half of them change their majors within 2 years and 25% or more drop out within 2 years,but are stuck with a huge student loan

4. No, college is a waste of time!

5. Imagine havIng no college degree and getting paid $70k a year. 😳

6. While debating whether a degree is important or not, here is something important to know; invest in cryptocurrencies so you can gain financial stability to pursue your dreams.

7. It’s more like being caught between a rock and a hard place. The government and businesses are part of the problem, not just schools.

8. College degree not worth it. I have 3 degree but got very little pay. I have two college graduate that are still jobless. They are currently looking but at every job interview they are asking for 5 to 15 years of experience. So not worth it.

9. Nope. No way.

10. Colleges are poisoning the minds of young people into communism

11. If your news source is not Warning you about The Great Reset, then they are hiding the ONLY THING YOU NEED TO KNOW. The elites behind the great reset want us dead. They are globalizing the United States and targeting our constitution. They pay the corrupt government and the media. They say they are out to save the world, but their true intentions are mass genocide. Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, world leaders, Rockefellers, Rothschild, UN, WEF, WHO, EU, global shapers, are all Marxist. They pay the media, that is why the media is painting hate. Their worst nightmare is that we all awake and unite against them, and that is exactly what we need to do. Look it up, and show everyone you can. The window to fight back is slowly closing. Research it, you will see the truth yourself. This is global. Expose the great reset, and we need to stick together. This is not a race war, it is a war of our survival against the elites.

12. You don’t have to go to college to be a liar and a “journalist “ do you??¿? – LOLOLOL

13. I have a bachelor's and master's degree. I first worked as a middle school teacher and then in Higher Education where WITH my master's degree, I made $42k. I left it all in 2019 and trained myself on Trailhead for Salesforce (mentioned in the story). I now work as a Program Manager for a tech start-up that uses the Salesforce platform, and on day one my salary doubled….after 23 years in education. I don't use my bachelor's or master's at all in my new tech career.

14. Ok, so 5 uneducated people say you don’t need a college degree to be successful? Sure, trust them. They obviously know more than the thousands of educated people who say you do need a degree.

15. I think so, hmmm

16. I'm retired from two different carreers, but my degree came in the last ten years. If you NEED the degree, then maybe you'll get stuck with it's cost.

17. I want to work around financial.

18. Phfft, maybe, maybe not. If you want cheap college, serve a couple of yrs in the military. I did. GI bill paid thru my master's. These guys n gals who borrow a couple hundred grand are not too smart imho.

19. Depends on the degree. but higher chance you'll get a job if you get a degree because it shows you have accomplished something. It would be helpful if students looked at the salaries of the fields they were going into and the job market.

20. when did I ask a company if it was worth it if I go to college? Company over friends and families input? Not everybody is that luckya nd theres a reason they want those without college. college opens ya mind they want the cog in the machine!!!! think for yourself. yes college is not for everybody but there are plenty of other options do what makes you happy.

21. It's simple. Just pick the degree people are too scared or lazy to get. Opportunities abound!!!

22. It should be more about training at jobs that dont hurt people

23. Nope. Everyone i know with bachelors and multiple associates are working 18 year type jobs even me 3 years of college and nothing. im 30,000 deep in loans now with my experience i am rerouting the direction of my children.

24. You can get the same education or indoctrination off CNN, MSNBC or numerous other fake news sources

25. The Tesla company of Musk in the United States cannot fight against CCP Marxism. The CCP does not want Tesla to get out of China, but wants Tesla to obey the CCP. There is a Dawu Group in China. Its president, Sun Dawu, is an enterprise with excellent Chinese traditional morals. However, the CCP used some unreasonable reasons to arrest Sun Dawu's family and embezzle all his property. In China, it has always been a place where bad money drives out good money. As long as you are telling the truth, you are fighting against the Communist Party, and they will try every means to either disappear you or become like them.

26. I think college degrees are a waste of money. I know people who did not go to college making more money than people with degrees.

27. How much money do people send to other countries

28. Love this need

29. i wonder how many of these so called successful people with no degree got by on nepotism or some form of it

30. We give Israel $3.8 billion every year in foreign aid. They already have government paid free university education and universal healthcare. America is one screwed up country. The Republicans love the ignorant and poor. And they do their damnedest to keep most of their supporters that way. Their REAL constituency are the very wealthy. They pay lip service to and keep the ignorant distracted in the mean time. Go figure.

31. I went to a small community college for a couple years for pretty much an art degree in digital media.

    I reconcile accounts and do contract work for banks and finance companies..

32. Yes, You Can Be Successful Without Degree, However, You Will Be Very Narrowly Knowledgeable. Youre Studying Only As Far As The Company Wants.. College Helps Give You A Foundation Of A Broader Range.
    I See That You Guys Are Trying To Encourage People To Do Job Training And Go Up, But This Also Discourages From College. Which Gives People Knowledge With Societal Value, Even With Only Associates Degree.
    Like Basic cpr and such, Basic intro classes not everyone has common sense an needs to be taught, ex. don't tough water and electricity

33. If it's true then we shouldn't bail out people out of their college loans.

34. College is useful only for specific professions (i.e., lawyer, doctor) all you need is the goal for a skill after high school, put in 4 years of work, become a journeyman and start your own business. There are professional skills programs that have paid training. A little research but there available.

35. i hate college its a total scam i hate the school system its only there to benifit the teachers and faculty

36. If you go to a brick & mortar college that's not Ivy league, you're basically paying for their athletic program

37. Who is he?

38. College….A surefire way to get yourself in stressful, unforgiving debt for the rest of your life.

39. Don't listen to this horrible reporting, go to college.

40. It depends on the field whether its worth it or not. Some degrees are "worth less" than others

41. What education??? They have that in this country???? LMFAO I have yet to see this so-called education you speak of…

42. All these comments proves you don’t need college degree. We played into the rhetoric.

43. Haha such a stupid question, have you seen these idiots coming out of our educational systems? The only thing they gained was a crushing debt, no wisdom, no knowledge, and most importantly their mind has been perversed and twisted… wake up people our children’s well-being is at stake. Time to put a ton of money ( military money) into education.
