Not sure if this has been posted before but this video is so true I don't even know. It got me thinking about the things they're teaching us in school, kept trying to think of real life situations where I was going to use it but couldn't come up with any.

I've seen this video and in my school we learned literally everything he's complaining about (we had a Economics & Personal Finance class which was mandatory to graduate)

Jobs you can get from staying in school:

Doctor, 100K+ salary
Lawyer, 100K+ salary
Engineer, 100K+ salary
Pharmacist, 100K+ salary
Dentist, 100K+ salary

See where I'm getting at? Quit school and you'll be making 20k a year working in horrible conditions while being yelled at by your boss 24/7 and dealing with shitty customers, if you're lucky, or homeless. And don't tell me "But Bill Gates dropped out of school" - no, he quit Harvard, because he was too smart for school and was way ahead of his peers, not because school was too hard for him. Compare the 'average' person in school to the 'average' drop out, and you'll see the average person staying in school turned out much better than the average drop out. Don't compare famous people who dropped out and are now rich to the average school graduate, that is just faulty/retarded logic. Compare them to the famous people who stayed in school.

Don't take that video to heart, the guy doesn't know what he's talking about. We obviously need to teach theoretical things in school because our society needs doctors, engineers, and theoreticals.

They don't teach things like doing taxes in school because anybody can do it. Even retarded people. My grandparents who came fresh off the boat from eastern europe and don't speak a word of english know how to do their taxes, so I'm sure some high school kid can figure it out after turning 18.

You should stay in high school because it's 4 fucking years, helps you get into secondary school, which helps you land decent careers. It's also a massive part in developing social abilities.

Also, as the one guy stated, we have mandatory finance class at my school, based in the US.

This is also coming from a guy who dropped out in 6th grade and successfully caught back up after 3 years. Those 3 years were the biggest mistake of my life.

Well said. I dropped out of school in 7th grade for 5 years. Biggest mistake of my life. I was so lucky, because I caught up and managed to graduate high school at 19. Now I'm in uni studying engineering.

Stay in school. Even famous people who dropped out (like Bill Gates) returned to school to complete their degree, to encourage others to not drop out.

It is known that people who are educated have a higher success rate of becoming rich, than those who drop out. 1/5th of the richest people in the world studied engineering.

This guy doesn't look very smart to me he looks like a dumbass i'd never hire him.

I understand that school is important despite the things they're teaching us, I personally would never drop out of school. Bill Gates had his career set for him, why would he waste any more time in school? He could just invest his time into his projects and make hella more money than if he were to finish school.

He is part of a small percentage of people that became extremely successful.

It is so small that I don't understand why his name is always brought up as if dropping out of school increases the chance to be successful as him.

This is very true, but in 7th grade everyone was force to take a financial class for this very reason.
