Do You Really Need College in 2026? The College Lie.`
Do You Really Need College in 2026? Is it Worth It? Cop & Entrepreneur Says NO. In this raw, no-filter rant, a former police officer turned entrepreneur—who graduated with a criminology degree—explains why college in 2026 might be the biggest scam holding most people back.
From CO*ID turning campuses into a "police state" with va%*ine mandates and brainwashing, to the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT and Grok making traditional degrees obsolete, he breaks down why self-education through "YouTube University" and real-world experience beats $100K+ in debt for a piece of paper.
He shares his own story: building a campus taxi business while in school, seeing the dark side as a cop, authoring his first book, and escaping "the matrix" of average life, and why entrepreneurship gives true freedom. If you're a high schooler, current student, or parent questioning skyrocketing tuition—this unfiltered truth will make you rethink everything. Like if you agree college is overrated, comment your thoughts below, and subscribe for more real talk on mindset, wealth, and breaking free from the system!
