One way I believe I can Assist is to share my life experience. Below, you can read about job/career experience! Hopefully you can learn from the good and bad of mine!
One of the biggest things we try to figure out in life is what to actually do with our lives. Life experience can teach you a lot. If you ask me, college isn’t the way to go in your late teens. Many people don’t even do what they got their degree in!
School Isn’t as Valuable as Experience
I truly believe experience is the mother of all teachers. It boggles my mind that we encourage so much schooling when the vast majority of us retain so little of what we are taught. There is a place for education, but I just can’t be sold that higher levels are for everyone or even most.
I learned so much more making videos on my pro wrestling YouTube channel than I did in film school.
It’s a great system for the government to retain control of the public, and I feel it doesn’t focus enough on critical thinking. I have a blog post in which I talk about how to possibly reform public education. I’ll try to update that post once in a while!
This video does a good job at showing how archaic school is!
But What about Social Skills?
This is a question I often thought about. The answer to this came like an RKO.
I was in the Midwest shooting some videos with some cowboys. We went to a tavern for some chicken wings, and they started talking about how one of their kids got “Title 9’d” out of school.
The father brought up that he isn’t worried about his kid getting social experience because of the activities the kid does. The main one was through rodeo. That opened my eyes. Some people have been adamant that school is necessary for kids to socialize and discover new things as though there is no other possible way for kids to socialize and discover new things.
There are other places. Community centers, libraries, YMCA’s, etc. Part of me wonders if we have done things for so long a certain way that thinking outside the box seems weird.
