- 0:28Speaker 1: what's going on? It's me the question guy. You know
- 0:30Speaker 1: that dude that's always asking questions because it's so much
- 0:33Speaker 1: fun when you start researching for answers. Yeah, b's me.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Why are high school graduates deciding to take a year
- 0:40Speaker 1: off from furthering their education or just not making the
- 0:44Speaker 1: investment to go in the first place. Plus teenagers, Oh,
- 0:48Speaker 1: go ahead and roll your eyes right now. Why are
- 0:51Speaker 1: they gathering in such large groups around the country and
- 0:55Speaker 1: don't mind breaking the rules or even getting arrested. My
- 0:58Speaker 1: name is Arrow. I'm a daily a silent wolf. I
- 1:01Speaker 1: stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen,
- 1:04Speaker 1: and study, then activate. I call it the Daily Mess
- 1:07Speaker 1: because it's a chronological walk through my everyday world. It
- 1:10Speaker 1: is my daily writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas.
- 1:13Speaker 1: We as people tend to throw things to the side
- 1:16Speaker 1: because we're going to deal with them later on. Then oops, squirrel,
- 1:20Speaker 1: and then we don't get back to them. When a
- 1:22Speaker 1: subject arrives inside of me, dude, it's time to dig in.
- 1:25Speaker 1: It's still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research,
- 1:29Speaker 1: the picture is going to become clearer. This is the
- 1:32Speaker 1: daily mess. How many high school graduates are opting out
- 1:37Speaker 1: of a college education due to costs as well as
- 1:40Speaker 1: a loss of interest. Oo. The idea of investing precious time, energy,
- 1:48Speaker 1: and money into furthering your education on a college campus
- 1:53Speaker 1: is on the down side. I mean, forty two percent
- 1:57Speaker 1: of those graduating from high school in twenty twenty four
- 2:00Speaker 1: elected to stay out one hundred percent from the required
- 2:03Speaker 1: commitment to earn a degree. Two years later, here in
- 2:07Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, we've gone from forty two percent to
- 2:12Speaker 1: sixty two percent openly admitting the cost of living and
- 2:15Speaker 1: affordability as a reason to not further their education. Students
- 2:21Speaker 1: and parents aren't interested in college because of student loans
- 2:26Speaker 1: and the life long debt attached. And Americans also believe
- 2:30Speaker 1: that having that degree what the hell does that even
- 2:33Speaker 1: mean anyway? It's not going to guarantee you a job.
- 2:36Speaker 1: So where are people going trade schools getting their foot
- 2:42Speaker 1: in the door to do an apprenticeship, and they're taking
- 2:46Speaker 1: on any job they can get. There, you go, keywords,
- 2:49Speaker 1: they're taking on any job they can get. The modern
- 2:54Speaker 1: high school graduate goal is to gain access to work
- 2:57Speaker 1: experience and then decide on colleges later on if need be.
- 3:03Speaker 1: It's not that students aren't interested in college or a
- 3:06Speaker 1: university life. Landing a traditional four year college path isn't
- 3:11Speaker 1: looking like the best investment. They're relying on American corporate
- 3:16Speaker 1: businesses to give them a shot at employers sponsored training. Now,
- 3:22Speaker 1: if that's your choice, you need to sit down with
- 3:25Speaker 1: somebody and look at the expectations. A company will train
- 3:29Speaker 1: you all you need, but remember you have to give
- 3:33Speaker 1: them something back and can you handle that cost? And
- 3:38Speaker 1: that's what I mean. Sit down with somebody that knows
- 3:40Speaker 1: what's going on, read the fine print, and find out
- 3:43Speaker 1: what you've got to get back if you don't live
- 3:46Speaker 1: up to their expectations. Coming up next, why are American
- 3:50Speaker 1: teens gathering in such large groups? What gives here? Hey,
- 3:57Speaker 1: welcome back to the daily mess. Why are America con
- 4:00Speaker 1: teens gathering in such large numbers around the country. In fact,
- 4:04Speaker 1: it's happening around the world as well. Is there a
- 4:07Speaker 1: message here or is it the next level of man?
- 4:10Speaker 1: It's the coolest thing in the world to do. It's
- 4:14Speaker 1: a feeling of belonging. We've all been a teenager, we
- 4:18Speaker 1: all want to belong. Teens have always wanted to be
- 4:22Speaker 1: part of something that feels out of control, and it's
- 4:25Speaker 1: really nothing new to our history. Number two social media, Oh,
- 4:31Speaker 1: these meetup apps. There's rarely ever a deeper purpose to gather.
- 4:36Speaker 1: It's just that everybody is doing it. Number three visibility
- 4:41Speaker 1: and status. I mean, look at social media, Look at
- 4:44Speaker 1: where I was tonight, look at what we did tonight. Oh,
- 4:47Speaker 1: that visibility is there. Plus, we can't forget about the
- 4:51Speaker 1: enormous amount of places that don't serve teenagers anymore. I mean, hey,
- 4:57Speaker 1: you're not going to the mall. Chances are you're not
- 4:59Speaker 1: going to be standing on a street corner. Where's everybody going.
- 5:03Speaker 1: In essence, it's a shared experience. There's music, people talk, sports, trends,
- 5:09Speaker 1: and other causes. Teens are doing it, but they have
- 5:11Speaker 1: no place to go. Then there are those who crowd up,
- 5:14Speaker 1: which usually leads to illegal decisions and students or teens
- 5:18Speaker 1: are then busted. What's the cultural message here, huh? Here
- 5:23Speaker 1: it is I want to be seen. I want to
- 5:26Speaker 1: be part of something which is kind of in the
- 5:28Speaker 1: way of new and improved. I mean, five years ago,
- 5:32Speaker 1: come on, the biggest thing going, of course with social media,
- 5:34Speaker 1: but nobody wanted to have real face time. Today they
- 5:37Speaker 1: do want those real voices, those real faces, those real people.
- 5:43Speaker 1: But ganging up it's not the answer. It's not the answer.
- 5:48Speaker 1: It's not going over too well. My father would be
- 5:52Speaker 1: having a conniption fit. He would be so pissed off
- 5:56Speaker 1: if this were my decision in life to gang up
- 5:58Speaker 1: like this, because this was his philosophy. I know, you
- 6:02Speaker 1: want to go play basketball at the school, but you
- 6:05Speaker 1: know what, somebody up in the front, in the first
- 6:07Speaker 1: grade section of the school is going to break in
- 6:10Speaker 1: through the window and steal stuff. You had nothing to
- 6:13Speaker 1: do with it, But when the police arrived, you were
- 6:16Speaker 1: on the basketball court. You, in their eyes, are the
- 6:20Speaker 1: one that did it. So when you gang up like
- 6:23Speaker 1: this doesn't matter. If you're as innocent as all can be.
- 6:27Speaker 1: You were there you are guilty of the crime. Guilty.
- 6:32Speaker 1: I'm aerol, and that's the daily mess
