Our education system is broken. It is absolutely broken. Hey guys, how's it going? If you're new to the channel, my name is Philip Wattley. This is Life Without Boundaries.

Now today we're not really going to talk about any tips or tricks to make money online. What I want to talk about is something that's closer to my heart and that is our education system here in America. We're told that if we want to make money, we're going to have to get a high school degree, we're going to have to go to college for four to six years, let's go into debt with thousands and thousands of dollars in debt only to learn one skill, basically, and then go out into workforce to where you're hired by somebody who's making way more money than you because you are working for them and making them all the money. Then you work from nine to five every day and if they decide they don't need you anymore, they can just kick to the curb and then you're not making any more money anymore. That's terrible. That's something that I just kind of recently had a light bulb go off in my head. Some of you may know I'm a teacher, I'm elementary school teacher and our education system is broken. It is absolutely broken to the schools and they're being force fed, different tests after test after test after test after test and they're and we're told they need to be learning from bell to bell and they have 30 minutes to eat lunch and then like 10 minutes to play outside and it's back to the books and it's cramming these kids full of unnecessary knowledge. I mean how many of you still use your knowledge about parallelograms to make money today? It's pointless. I mean yes, it's good to have a basic understanding of how things work in the world but by the time you get to high school all that stuff needs to be done. In high school you need to be learning about life. You need to learn how to do your taxes, how to write a check, how to pay your bills, how to budget and all those things that nobody knows how to do and they graduate college. I graduated college and I'm like oh I need to start doing my own taxes. How the heck do I do that? Like our school system is rigged in a way that we it's a money machine. Like they want to make money. My brother is actually in a certain college I'm not going to make names but he has been in school for over six years because their advisors will keep telling him he needs these courses at these times and then when he gets ready to graduate they're like oh well you also need these courses and they keep him there. They specifically tell him not to take certain classes at certain times so that they can stretch out the time that he's there and the more money that he's spending and that's just super shady to me. My college even tried to do that with me and I was there for five years. So it's just it's just a big money making machine and if you even look at the stats over the past decade or two like college tuition has skyrocketed exponentially and these kids are going in because they're they're being told that college is where you need to go if you want to make money and they just go into debt they go into thousands sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt if they depend on what college they go to and they're they're broke they're broke they get their job they think their life's going to be great and they get this high paying job but 50% of it is going to bills and the student loans and they have very little live-off of and so by the time they finish paying off their student loans they're already 40 50 years old and they don't have much to to go for and retirement or anything in their life. So I realized this really early or recently when I went at my job they pretty much told me that it doesn't matter how good that I teach how well my students do or how high my observations scores get I'm not getting a raise and it's just not happening other teachers will but in my position since I'm not core subject even though they force me to teach core incorporate core into my subject like teach math and teach history even though that's not your thing incorporated with your lessons if I'm helping these kids score on these tests like I need to be compensated and when they told me that I'm not and that it doesn't matter what I teach really I got worried really and it's failing these kids it's not giving me any incentive to work to do extra for my job now I just want to go in and teach now just teach my subject and be over it like because that's what I signed up for when I want to be a teacher like I want to teach what I want to teach not what other people say it is the best because America's one of the lowest performing education countries out there like the number one is Norway and Norway goes their kids go to school four times a week last time I checked and they actually only have school time for a maximum of 20 hours that whole week so the rest of the time is playing outside you know doing things that let kids be kids developing their brain and socializing with each other like things that are important in this world instead of just cramming all this information you've got to take pass this test you got to get the score and our scores are going to go up and it's it's a broken system it's so broken so now Norway's number one in the world their kids don't have homework they're only learning 20 hours out of the week they're playing outside all the time and they're doing hands-on things and America's just like oh well looks like they're doing a great job let's not do that and just keep putting more tests to our kids because they're going to eventually get it it's stupid it's broken it's dumb and like that's why I've decided just to make a change like I'm still being a teacher right now but that's not what I want to do anymore and and the thing is is with my college degree like if I quit I'm really pretty much can't find any other job other than teaching so I'm pretty much forced or brainwashed to think that college is the only way that I can learn a new skill and I have to fork over all this money to be certified but that's just not true you look at the biggest richest people in the world Jeff Bezos Amazon didn't finish college Steve Jobs didn't finish college Bill Gates didn't finish college there's people online all over building their own businesses online selling things online having that financial freedom to where they can just you know work from home and they're killing it they're making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year way more than I'm making as a teacher and the reason is is they just they didn't buy into the lie like some of them quit halfway through college and it was just like I don't want to do this it's like I don't I don't see any bit of fit I'm gonna go to this job I'm gonna work nine to five and if I want to do something else I have to start this whole college process over again and that's just not true that's not true anymore um you can make a change you can decide to do what you want to do uh and what I'm gonna do is I talked about my life video I'm starting a business and I'm in the process of training right now I'm not going to college for it it's like I'm training online yes I'm paying some money but it's not near near the amount of money that I would pay if I'd go back to college for it and what I'm gonna do is is I'm gonna get trained in it and I'm gonna let my skills speak for themselves and I'm gonna go out find clients offer do some stuff for free and when they see the results I'm gonna get hired and I'm gonna start making money from home and hopefully if I get enough clients I'll quit my job and I'll quit this this dumb cycle of just being tracked in this nine to five uh bubble working for somebody who's just doesn't really care about me come up position or what I do so uh just wrap this up point is if you are thinking about going to college or if you went to college you just feel like you just wasted four to six even ten years of your life like it's not too late late you can decide now to change to use your free time while you work to just find something else that you can just build your knowledge about and develop a skill to where you can outsource yourself to make a business online business from home and to actually get that life of boundary without boundaries that you want and that's what I'm deciding to do and that's what I'm just trying to do and then the process of laying in my first client right now and I'm glad for those of you that subscribed because you're gonna be watching this journey you're gonna be a testament to this person who's working as a teacher and then just start killing it in the next year or two so that was just something I really wanted to get off my chest today and I really just wanted to talk to talk about with somebody and uh I really want to think you're off listening if you want to check out some things that I talk about affiliate marketing or even you know how different ways to make money online I've got more videos down in my channel I'm gonna link the video right here of the video of how to make different ways to make money online and uh yeah I'll see you guys next time later
