Do you want to know why I am making that assertion? Today, I’m going to explain to you why attending university will only make you poor, frustrated, unaccomplished and miserable. 

So, if you are a young guy, I’ll tell you very sincerely: forget about academic studies and get a job. 

Start building your career based on what you like to do now. 

I’m saying this for your sake. I’m an Italian entrepreneur who is almost a millionaire and I know what I’m talking about. 

Conversely, if you are a parent and you have a child who’ll soon have to decide between working and attending university, please don’t do anything stupid… send them off to work immediately! 

Obviously, they should chose the job they want, but you must make them understand how useless going to university is nowadays. 

So, now I want to explain to you why my assertion is correct. 

Nowadays, going to university doesn’t lead to a future of economic well- being but, rather, one of poverty and frequent frustration. 

Unfortunately, universities have now become the focal point of ultimate illusion and disappointment for the younger generation. 

Here, their dreams and plans for the future will inevitably be shattered. 

It should be the parent’s responsibility to not instill fictitious fantisies in their kids’ minds from childhood. 

In fact, these false beliefs implanted in kids’ minds are why universities are overflowing with young people annually. 

As Ken S. Coates argues in his book, “Dream Factories, Why Universities Won’t Solve the Youth Jobs Crisis,” universities continue to churn out a disproportionate amount of graduates that are not in demand by the working world. 

They pump them out every day, like pastries.

In addition to this so-called numerical problem, there is another issue. One that is perhaps even more significant. 

Let’s be clear! It’s not that there are no jobs in the United States.

 The problem is that, in addition to there being so many graduates, today’s young graduates have a head full of knowledge but lack job skills. 

In many cases, graduate don’t have the slightest idea of what work truly means.

 So, their professional profiles are much less attractive to employers who prefer young people with heads free from a myriad of useless knowledge but who are, instead, brighter and more capable of working effectively. 

Just be aware: if you have graduated and the professors have filled your head with a wealth of information, culture, and knowledge, ‘m sorry, but they are utterly useless in business. 

I say this as an entrepreneur. When I have to hire new employees, I almost always discard the graduates’ resumes because, by now, I expect to find the typical cultured person who has no idea how to work. 

Culture is useless in our society. I shrug it off. Today, all that matters is being efficient and productive. This is interesting for an employer. It doesn’t matter how educated, talented or intelligent you are. 

I’m sorry, but, if your parents have always told you since you were little that you should go to university when you grow up to get a great job and live a happy life, they were dead wrong. 

I suggest you listen to me. Unless you want to study for years for a university degree and end up working at some fast-food joint serving sodas and fries to kids who just turned 18 and are already much wealthier than you. 

They didn’t achieve this by studying stupid, useless books full of words. On the contrary, they put themselves on the line and listened to what today’s society requires: efficiency, productivity and rationality.

Do you want to study literature and poetry from professors? Fine, but just know that in a few years, I expect you to serve me my burger and fries properly, and don’t you dare forget the ketchup! 

Listen to me because, after all, I am an Italian entrepreneur, almost a millionaire and I know how the world works. 

As if everything I just told you wasn’t enough, the “What to become” website claims that about 53% of university graduates are unemployed or underemployed. This is a truly tragic figure! 

It means that once they get out of university, one in two people have flushed years of their lives down the toilet by studying and spending money for nothing. 

The Wall Street Journal states that about 43% of university graduates are underemployed in their first job. 

In short, it means you end up serving sandwiches and fries despite your university degree. See? It’s not just me saying this but the Wall Street Journal as well. Am I explaining myself, my dude?!

Now, think this through with me. What do you really want out of life? Do some soul searching. 

I am confident that you have thought about being happy or otherwise something related to happiness. 

Exactly, dude! This is actually the true goal of every human being. 

We only live once. And, Christ, we don’t want to waste the most precious gift we have.
