is college still considered a normal path for a lot of gen z yeah it can be
college people just
do college in a really stupid way though people go to the dream school that has
the sports team
they want for the major that doesn't make money so it's not that college is the
bad thing it's
you can do it the right way get your gen ads out of the way at a community
college something you
know acc here is super cheap you can go over a couple hundred bucks a semester
and get some
credits a lot of diversity too at those colleges you want to meet some uh you
know i'm saying an
asian girl or guy or something yeah do it and larger class sizes as well so
there's a benefit
uh instead of a big hall that you get in university so you get more one-on-one
time with professors at
community college it's actually usually just kind of better education just also
statistically the
people that are going to community college are also more likely to drop out so
that's why some
of the metrics are a little bit i see and if you're going to drop out then you're
dropping out there at
cheaper uh sure at a cheaper rate but then you don't have to go out of state
you don't have to
go to the private college you don't have to go to the college that has your
favorite sports team
that's gonna go in the you know gonna win a national championship in football
you don't need that right
and then also when you're going to college is it going to have a return on the
investment for the
degree you're actually trying to get to and if you don't know what you want to
do there's nothing
wrong with taking a year off between high school and college to figure some
things out maybe do a trade
look or look at a trade see if you're interested in that take a career a trade
you mean yeah just
look and see if that's something you're interested in and then you can go to
trade school in a smart
and dumb way as well there's expensive ones out there and there's just average
ones and i don't
want you to focus all your money and time on something you don't even want to
do just because
it's like a plumber they make great money these days you know the medians
whatever it is but it's
like pretty good if you don't have any interest in getting on your hands and
knees and doing that
shit you know maybe we're not doing that right yeah you want to have a you want
to have some
interest in what you're doing for sure and you want to find something i mean
that's one nice
thing sometimes about going to a community college or going to a college is
taking on some different
uh courses and seeing like well what might i be interested in you know you know
i know i like
something about this but i don't know what it is yet let me get at least into
that realm of classes
absolutely i mean you have to remember people that go to college 40 40 drop out
so this is not a
guaranteed thing people think just because they're going to go to college okay
my life is set now
40 who take out student loans drop out of college wow i was one of them i
dropped out 40 000 hours of
federal student loans and 12 000 private wow really yeah yeah it took me i
think 11 years or something
or 10 and a half or 10 and 6 50 5 60 years almost yeah like 11 years i think to
do college yeah it happens
and it costs money dude i took a couple classes like you already took this
class and all those i remember
being like yeah i know i'm good at it i'm gonna take it again really yeah okay
doubling up the degree
yeah and just like and i remember one time this teacher gave me a b i went and
took her class again
to prove to her i could get an a did you prove to her i think she got laid off
she was dealing with
like uh addiction pill addiction okay but i i did a good you know i did my best
that's for sure um what are
what are some things say somebody's they don't know what they're doing right
now right they don't know
what are uh some let's go over some like blue collar and the non-blue collar
jobs that people could
do you could start at home i've always said pressure washing i grew up in a
neighborhood where
if you wanted to get a leg up you could get a pressure washer a couple hundred
dollars sure you
get a nice one for like five six hundred bucks now you have to get that money
first but yes it's
realistic and then you can start pressure what you can go to a wealthy person's
area and be like hey
i'll pressure wash it and you can do a good job what are some other jobs like
that that you um
recommend to people to get started uh if they don't really have anything yeah i
mean there's nothing
wrong with dropping some mcfries you know just to try to pay the bills people
look down on that there's
nothing wrong with these these extra you know for the fast food jobs even just
while you're trying to
pay your way through school um i mean summer moon coffee shop i like you know
uh their their moon
milk creamer i basically lactate that summer moon it's called yeah i just went
to a place called two
hands okay also good i think yeah they have nice people that work there yeah
but they were hiring just
a barista the the manager was talking to me he's like dude get someone on your
show to come work for
me i need to hire people 18 bucks an hour you know that's not bad austin's
pretty expensive but 18
bucks an hour is not bad and that's a great place to just start get your foot
in the door there's
nothing wrong with the side hustles either kind of like the power washing a lot
of people view that
as like a side hustle hopefully turning into a full hustle at some point what i
caution a lot of people
though is a lot of people go into that and they're like okay now i need the
pressure washer but i need
the nice pressure washer oh wait i need the truck to be able to move it around
that was the guy that
we just the ball python guy he had to buy a truck so that he could move his
pressure washer around
so that's yeah i don't want to show up with 10 snakes in a ford festiva and a
dodge neon right you know
yeah like these snakes deserve a classy automobile it's like what are you
talking about dude yeah people
get more excited about the the actual job the journey the entrepreneurship more
than the actual
grind oh yeah yeah that is a huge trap isn't it yeah yeah i'm gonna look the
part so much but you
still have to do the part yeah and there's nothing with just get into a bank as
well get into a bank
work as a teller yeah uh sit down and just talk uh talk talk different loans to
people as well i
mean there's lots of jobs that don't necessarily require a degree that you can
get into i remember
when i first moved to los angeles we put up flyers everywhere we would do
refrigerator cleaning right
nobody wants to clean their refrigerator yeah and for 200 bucks we'd come and
clean your refrigerator
and we'd just take every just clean i mean clean it good yeah and bro i was
shocked at how many people
were like i will in a heartbeat absolutely clean this a lot of perverts too
trying to touch your
back or whatever while you were cleaning oh sure but you chalk it up to the 200
have a have somebody
on watch while you clean back and forth okay yeah but uh dog walking that was
another thing something
you could do right car cleaning i remember um if you liked cleaning cars you
like cleaning your car
if you do something well somebody will pay you to do that well for them right
that's one thing that i
always think we used to have a on the street audit show that we did just back
in the day when i was
testing things out and i met this dude like we do that on the street audit show
that sounds really cool
i just walk up to people you know those kind of camera in the face things but i
would just ask them
money questions about their finances and then just kind of get my thoughts on
it but we met this dude
who you know rover rover the app like rover weight or whatever no so it's the
dog walking that you're
mentioning so you can hire dog watchers walkers or anything off of rover and oh
wow beautiful animals
on there is that a corgi he's making 175 000 hours a year doing that no he's
not walking dogs uh house
sitting dogs but because it's just house sitting he can also work his full-time
tech job from the
house that he's sitting so he's making like 300 000 hours a year yeah right
there's a lot you could
do no degree required for that sit in someone's house feed their dog take them
out and the funny
thing is man i'll say this once you start doing something you don't know where
it's going to lead
i will be so shocked how many times it's like okay you're a barista you become
a good barista then
somebody who runs a company of some sort they show up they see a good worker
when they know when they
see one they're like what are you making here are you making eighteen dollars
an hour plus tips i'll
pay you eighty thousand dollars a year to come work right next door you know
why don't you come in
tomorrow we just talk about it see if it's something you would like just
because they see your work ethic
or i'll pay you it's just it's amazing sometimes when when somebody who runs a
business starts to see
good work ethic that they will latch onto it immediately absolutely but also
the things you don't know
it's like you start with a small thing and the next thing you know it's like
like my brother was a tree
cutter right he started just cutting down trees and after a couple months he
was like oh wait i could
be the foreman i understand how this works and i i i can do the foreman's job
right i need to learn more
but once i learn more i'd be happy to hire some other tree guys and put up my
own advertising like
the barrier to entry to things it's not as hard as you think a lot of times it's
just you don't know
it until you start yeah one of the first full-time editors that i hired dude
was making the math worked
out to almost like six bucks an hour working for a youtuber but his editing was
great and with the
different incentives and everything i uh give just based on skill he was making
six bucks an hour to
now a hundred thousand a year yeah so like if you can prove it right and i have
a friend who's um
been doing some personal assisting for another friend and i was like bro you
should start learning
social media edits learn how to do them so then whenever you're with this guy
now you could you
know just capture a couple things on your phone put it through one of these
kind of like different
filters or different programs that they have online you know there's cap covers
all these different
things and next you know you can show him three examples the next day and now
the next time he
hires you to you to go out with him for an eve or whatever it is you know you
can tack on an extra
30 bucks an hour because you're going to make a sick edit for him or something
you know like there's
just there's a lot of things that you can do i think um that's kind of an easy
one you can learn
is how to become a social media editor video editor yes now you're gonna have
to have a computer that
works to do it and you're gonna have to have at least your your cell phone to
be able to do that
but i think that that's realistic trying to think of what else oh carpet
cleaning is something that
people don't want to do a lot of times yeah so i mean that's my small business
or that's what the small
business my dad owns is is just you know a little power washing window cleaning
carpet cleaning wow
and that's what took him from you know being a cashier at a gas station when we
were poor when i
was born to now they're doing really well because you can grow that you can
scale that they opened a
second branch they're doing well there's a lot of opportunities there and then
in like the video
editing world just if you're just asking yourself what can i do to make that
person's life easier
they'll give you money yeah yeah
Thank you.
