Why coin sales flat

I disagree. I think ignorant and uneducated people are more easily manipulated than people taught to critically think for themselves.

I got 53 seconds into this and had to stop as I knew right where he is going. I totally agree that college is not for everyone and I agree that making a career out of going to school is for only a very small percentage of folks.

I will leave it at that and save myself the other 14 minutes. I could be wrong but leave it to a PhD to take 15 minutes to say something that can be stated in 1 minute.

 

Truth. Even in the most outrageous classes intelligent people don’t fall for it

 

Isn’t is always funny how after someone has benefitted from it and made millions they then become critical.

That said he did actually have a lot of valid points about the problems with college, but they ignore the realities of today. There are plenty of majors that mean nothing and that is why not because of college itself though the price is outrageous now.

 

Ah, if only that were true.

Intelligence and wisdom sometimes travel together, but often don't even recognize one another.

 

I didn't say all Asians are outraged by the term. Why non-Asians would be "outraged" is beyond me. I respect those that are upset by the term and so don't use it but am not outraged. I dont think most people who use it are racist and that the term itself is not in of itself racist. Why use the term when some are offended when there is a perfectly acceptable alternate?

 

In this case, your powers of prediction are rather lacking. I won't recap the wealth of information and insight that he gives in those 15 minutes because you obviously wouldn't need it.

 

The ROI calculation definitely comes into play. I went for a second BS degree instead of an MS and have no regrets. That was 26 years ago. So many folks think once they get their degree that's the end, but it is just the beginning. I have interviewed college seniors for job positions who really had no clue about what they wanted to do as a career in a specific sense. True it is a good accomplishment to earn your degree, but unless you stay in Academia it is a means to an end, not the end.

 

Like the notion that, if many people get offended when you refer to them with a particular term, maybe you should stop using that term?

For the life of me, I can't understand how what I was taught as common courtesy has become so controversial.

 

I think there's a big difference in what is considered OUTDATED vs. POLITICALLY CORRECT.

 

I think that the older collectors are getting rid of what they have and nobody under our age gives a care about collecting they take and spend them as I have lots of people in all the stores when they find something they think I want they save it . I got some 1940 -1960 mint sets from a store someone broke the sets and took to the bank the store gets rolls for the day they got lots of dimes,quarters pennies and nickels I gave them extra for them as they were in excellent shape I would have loved to get some more . but am happy for those I got. so collectors die or get them stolen or kids get the collections and just spend them . no younger generation is interested in collecting. I have got a few interested but not many . and the dealers rake them over the coals for the coins they want and that turns them off for collecting at least where I am. just like the silver dollars that had 30,000 that is a joke and I hope the greedy get stuck with them that's why the market is flat

 

I could trot out a long, long string of "previously considered socially acceptable" terms, any one of which would get me a prompt vacation here, and deservedly so.

When you kept calling a kid a name on the playground, until he (a) cried, (b) ran to tell someone, or (c) punched you in the nose, was it he who was "looking for attention"?

 

I'm generally inclined to agree with you, as the general key to success is being "current", and ahead of the "curve". Mark Zuckerberg's formal education isn't believed generally related to his success: https://www.biography.com/business-figure/mark-zuckerberg

I found that establishing new, but desired systems, etc., would lead to advancement more readily than applying the past established knowledge.

Mark and many others have learned that. The list is long of relatively formally uneducated individuals forming successful careers through leading the curve.

In my formal education process outside of my professions, I studied the majority of trades which craftsman I needed would be applying, and selected only tradesmen to work with me on new technology development. The men loved it when you spoke their language as a machinist, millwright, welder, HVAC tech, etc., and designed for ease of construction/maintenance using automated machinery manufacturing code.

In the past, some could be included in Patents, Records Of Invention, etc., which allowed movement into more lucrative positions.

Young people may be less likely to have "cluttered minds".

JMHO

 

I have my doubts. Always-on social media is not a good prescription for an uncluttered mind.

On the other hand, Beginner's Mind is definitely a real phenomenon.
