Beyond the Degree: Isaac Morehouse's Insights on Education and Employment

There’s a saying that education is the most powerful weapon you can use, and that is true. But our current education system doesn’t teach students the required knowledge to prepare for their careers. And it doesn’t help students acquire traits like independence and work ethic, two valuable traits a person should have. Thus, those who graduate from college often find it challenging to find a job.

Isaac Morehouse shares his experiences of how he realizes the flaws in the current education system and why you don’t need a college degree in order to be hired and work at a company. Nowadays, people think that getting a college education is the path to a successful career. Little do they know that the job marketplace gives little value to college degrees and instead goes to people with talent, basic skills, or eagerness to learn. Tune in as they talk about life, education, employment, and more!

Quotes:

• “You just need a handful of basic skills, a mindset shift, a self-ownership mindset, personal responsibility mindset, and a curiosity and eagerness mindset. That's enough for a company to hire you, especially when you're young, because you can go in at a very low cost to that company.” – Isaac Morehouse
• “Degree from whatever university is almost worthless now in the workplace. But meanwhile, because of the digital world, you have the ability to be your own credential, to create a body of work that signals your ability, whatever it is demonstrating, like showing your work instead of just saying, here's a bunch of degrees and grades that I got. ” – Isaac Morehouse
• “The beauty of the market is incredible because there's an opportunity for every kind of person, skill set, and interest. And if you think like, I'm not very smart, I don't have many skills and much offer. That's absolute garbage; get that mindset out of you.“– Isaac Morehouse

Takeaways:

• Basic skills and a proper mindset are the only things you need if you want to be hired at a company.
• Nowadays, a university degree doesn’t hold a value that much. Because we are in the digital world, you now have the ability to create projects and demonstrate your capabilities outright rather than show worthless degrees.
• The market world is vast, and you have an opportunity everywhere. So throw away your negative thoughts about yourself and just start learning basic skills and have the proper mindset.

Conclusion:

If you are tired of entering college or feel it doesn’t help you achieve your dream career. Drop out of it. These days, workplaces don’t find value in college degrees. Rather, they go to those people with talent, basic skills, and eagerness to learn. You can also utilize our digital world to create projects and show what skills you have to be hired.
