30 seconds, one time for the underdog, ignition sequence start.
00:00:07.000
Let me see you put them up, reach the sky, touch the stars up above, cause it's one time
00:00:17.260
I'm Patrick Medevi, host of Ayutem, and today we're going to talk about every university's
00:00:23.240
So recently, Business Insider came out with an article talking about the fact that Apple
00:00:26.380
and Google no longer require a four-year degree.
00:00:28.580
And on top of Apple and Google, you got IBM, Bank of America, Netflix, and many other companies.
00:00:33.720
So think about all these universities that constantly pitch the idea of, hey, Mr. and
00:00:37.860
Mrs. Jones, the reason why you're sending your kid to our school and spending $200,000 because
00:00:42.580
we have the highest percentage of hiring people at Apple, Google, IBM, B of A. That's why you
00:00:48.000
put your kids through our school because we guarantee a good job.
00:00:52.160
By the way, it's a pretty scary time right now for universities.
00:00:57.200
If what I'm about to talk to you right now actually takes place, things are going to
00:01:01.120
dramatically change with the educational system in the next decade.
00:01:05.200
Point number one, speed is every single college and university's worst nightmare.
00:01:12.000
Things are changing so fast right now that everybody's worried.
00:01:16.600
This isn't a good thing for universities and colleges because universities and colleges,
00:01:22.880
If I'm running a company, if I'm running a business, if I'm Google, Apple, IBM, B of A,
00:01:27.940
who do you think finds out first that things are changing faster, that new things are needed?
00:01:42.420
So these companies are starting to say, why are we waiting on them to pivot to us while
00:01:51.180
They're not teaching the stuff we want because they cannot catch up with the current speed
00:01:56.360
These guys are getting killed simply due to speed.
00:02:01.700
There used to be a time that everybody had that smart uncle.
00:02:04.820
Everybody had that smart cousin, that smart relative.
00:02:09.860
And there wasn't one of the things was what, 50-50, all these other things, and one of
00:02:14.140
them was what, phone a friend, right, is what it was, and you would call the uncle.
00:02:24.520
You know, hey, who was the 23rd President of the United States?
00:02:32.000
A strong memory today no longer is as important as it used to be.
00:02:36.660
Hey, Siri, who was the 23rd President of the United States of America?
00:02:40.620
The answer is Benjamin Harrison from March 4th, 1889 to March 4th, 1893.
00:02:47.320
You know the people that are very good at math?
00:03:05.120
Remember, see, this replaced all the people that have great memories.
00:03:09.180
So you'd go to school because, oh my gosh, you're going to be able to work on this?
00:03:12.820
It doesn't matter anymore because these machines that, by the way, all these machines that you're
00:03:16.400
talking about, all of these machines are enemies to universities today.
00:03:20.180
They are enemies to universities today because that keyboard known memorization anymore, no
00:03:25.860
Number three, computer science degree is obsolete within three years.
00:03:30.880
You get a computer science degree today within three years, it's obsolete.
00:03:36.060
Not high school graduates need to go to school.
00:03:41.900
If a teacher got his or her degree in 1988, that's an outdated degree of 1988 today.
00:03:48.400
Now, somebody may say, well, all teachers do is they teach what the curriculum is at a university.
00:03:54.500
The curriculum that's being passed on to the teachers is outdated.
00:03:59.100
Somebody sits there from companies and tells somebody to tell universities that their curriculum
00:04:05.060
They go and tell a group to come up with a new curriculum and then they have to get her
00:04:09.480
Then the state has to get her to provide another person.
00:04:11.500
Then finally leads to the teacher to teach the new curriculum that's already taken 18 months
00:04:18.040
So teachers need to go back to school and learn from the new generation that's coming up
00:04:24.740
We send a couple of our guys to Wharton Business School two weeks ago, $12,000, $13,000 a pop.
00:04:31.180
Then they tell me, they say, you know, one of the professors got up and his talk was digital
00:04:36.760
Listen, I just want to let everybody know that's here at Wharton Business School.
00:04:39.760
What I'm about to share with you right now about digital media, some of the stuff may
00:04:42.620
be outdated and you guys may know some of the stuff more than I do, but don't judge
00:04:46.580
Let me just share with you what I learned today.
00:04:49.440
We are spending $12,000, $13,000 to send them to school for you to teach.
00:04:53.860
Are guys outdated material that you haven't updated yet?
00:04:57.400
Why the hell are we spending money sending people to school for what?
00:05:01.080
Well, it's really about the other students you meet and the people you meet over there.
00:05:07.360
Why am I sending them to university to come and meet with you?
00:05:10.500
So companies are starting to realize teachers are outdated because their degree is outdated
00:05:14.060
because the curriculum is outdated and universities are just moving way too slow because speed
00:05:19.140
Number five, companies train you to specialize on a skill set.
00:05:30.360
Okay, it's like a PhD in fine arts, right, is what he got, is what he told me.
00:05:38.320
What do you remember you learned from that school when he got your degree?
00:05:47.640
I said, what did you learn from it that you still use today?
00:05:51.180
See, companies say they don't have time like that because things are moving so quickly.
00:05:54.660
So companies say, wait a minute, I'm waiting for you to go to school for four years to come
00:05:57.580
to me because you learned about drinks, bartending, ecstasy, drugs, partying, clubbing, hooking
00:06:01.740
up with girls, Tinder, really swipe right, which way do you swipe?
00:06:04.280
I'm waiting for you to go learn all that stuff.
00:06:09.880
I'd much rather hire you and out of the four years of you going to school, I'm going to create
00:06:14.800
my own programming for you and train you in this one specific area or two, three areas
00:06:19.160
that's going to take me to teach you for three to six months in current times, then I'm fine.
00:06:25.020
I don't need you to know all the other stuff you went to school for.
00:06:28.780
And they're controlling what's being taught to the students and employees that they want.
00:06:33.580
Rather than generalizing, companies are starting to realize we'll take charge of specializing
00:06:37.740
because we definitely cannot wait on universities on how slow they move.
00:06:41.060
Next, companies are starting their own universities.
00:06:50.040
This is so scary, I can't even describe to you.
00:06:52.620
Every college university is going to sit there and say, what do you mean companies are starting
00:07:02.160
You know, McDonald's has McDonald's University.
00:07:04.220
Every one of these major companies now, they have universities.
00:07:08.720
There are employees who work there, who are touching everything, who are coding everything
00:07:13.640
Not based on 20 years' times, based on today's curriculum.
00:07:17.200
And you're going to university at Google, IBM, you know, all Apple, all of these companies
00:07:22.780
and their professors are teaching you what is needed today.
00:07:25.900
An edge over all the other universities out there.
00:07:32.440
These big companies, by doing this, they're controlling the narrative.
00:07:36.400
They are controlling what they are brainwashing into their employees.
00:07:40.400
When you go into a new school, people say, brainwashing is a bad word.
00:07:48.160
And they get brainwashed about how amazing the university is.
00:07:50.580
Then you become a booster and you're going to give contributing money for the rest of
00:07:58.220
If we're letting these kids be brainwashed about school, why don't we brainwash them on how great
00:08:13.240
They're brainwashing early about how special of a company they are because they're doing
00:08:16.020
the same exact thing all these major universities doing nationwide.
00:08:19.860
All this stuff I'm talking about is purely speed becomes the number one enemy of every single
00:08:28.160
All of us bought one of these things if you had it.
00:08:32.580
If you wanted an all-weather personal stereo, it was 1188.
00:09:17.160
Everything I told you, half the stuff you don't even know what it means, it's in this
00:09:23.660
Colleges and universities wake up every morning wishing this was never invented.
00:09:32.020
And they cannot wait on the speed that colleges and universities have, which is very slow.
00:09:43.480
And the whole part about taking charge is they're sitting there saying, wait a minute.
00:09:46.160
I'm sending these kids to school for hoping they get some hard skills.
00:09:52.160
You know, maybe they know how to do, you know, some storage system, some things like that.
00:09:56.920
And they're starting to realize, I'm better off getting people who have some good soft
00:10:01.460
Problem solving, EQ, attitude, critical thinking, teamwork.
00:10:04.140
A lot of these things you can pick up if you played high school sports in high school.
00:10:09.920
So a high school athlete or somebody that was involved in different kind of groups, they
00:10:25.740
And by the way, if you haven't already subscribed to Valuetainment on iTunes, please do so.
