Thread by @Dr_TJRicks

I coined a phrase the other day.

Internet trade school.

I wanna expand on it.

College is a lie. Internet trade school is the truth.

Thread brought to you by my own internet trade school class that costs a 0.000001% of your undergrad debt:

Internet trade school is the wonderful ecosystem of class, services and products that *anybody* can enroll in from your smart phone.

*webinars
*online courses
*ebooks
*web consults

All of these make up internet trade school.

Why call it internet trade school though?

Because many of these services are teaching you valuable life skills that are not:

*Valued on the High School level
*Valued on the college level

Why?

The American Deaducation system thrives on creating debt slaves.

And they create them early in grade school.

There was a time when you were in high school that you had to take a trade type course.

*Wood shop
*home economics
*metal working
*automotive repair

There were many courses at many different high schools, but if you check the curriculum now, many of those courses are gone.

There used to be a time where we valued trades.

Now we value degrees.

Ironically, as access to degrees a has increased, value of degrees has gone down significantly.

Look at this filth.

And this is what we tell people to go toward to have a better life???

😂😂😂😂

Fucking embarrassing.

You’re asking a person that has committed 8 years of their life to seeking a degree to take a job for poverty wages.

But muh college degree right?

Behold though.

Internet trade school.

Just like crypto currency has created a lane for wealth transference with the tech savvy, internet trade school has created the same lane for people with the desire to *be more*.

Internet trade school gets a lot of hate though.

Haters and poors: “I’m not gonna pay for a course by some random person on the internet that I don’t even know.”

Me: yeah but your degree is taught to you by someone that’s living paycheck to paycheck. Where you think you gon end up following them?

Haters and poors:

Internet trade school is no more risky than trading 5 years of your life and 30k in debt for the promise of a life

THAT DOESNT FUCKING EXIST ANYMORE!!!!

In fact I argue that it’s *less risky*

You fail at internet trade school, your out maybe $500 bucks and 4-5 months.

You fail at college and your are financially crippled

F-O-R-E-V-E-R

I have a PhD in chemistry and I’m taking my chances with internet trade school.

Why?

Because I see myself in these guys.

I see the drive, the will, the determination for a better life.

They found the right lane.

I didn’t.

However, I will not let my ego keep me from getting into the right lane.

You see, internet trade school has taken away a significant barrier to entry for wealth:

Gatekeepers.

On the internet, there are no gatekeepers.

There is *nobody* stopping you from getting to the level that you want except yourself.

Often in business, you gotta kiss the right ass to get an opportunity.

Nah.

Not on the internet.

You can be your own boss at a fraction of the cost of a college degree.

You can plant your store on the innanets anywhere you want to.

There are no:
*bosses
*permits
*brick and mortar materials

That you have to get.

You need a computer and an internet connection, both of which your local library has for free.

So what’s stopping the masses from enrolling in internet trade school and saying fuck degrees?

I argue structure.

Some of you cannot function like a human being without being told what to do from someone else.

That’s why the safety of a college classroom is so alluring.

Internet trade school doesn’t work for everybody because it requires:

*discipline
*focus
*sacrifice
*relentless action

There are only a handful of college degrees that do this.

& they still don’t give you the opportunity that the internet does.

Here’s why I argue structure

Everything that is taught in school is available on the internet.

So why the fuck are people still failing classes????

If someone told you here are all the keys to make an A in this class, would you take them?

The snap answer is yes.

“Hurr durr Tanei of course I’d take them.”

Internet free bro. Why are you still failing this class when you can look up the shit on your own?

The structure of having to go to a class & listen to someone else teach you what you can learn on your own is comfort.

Because it’s what you’re used to.

You’ve been indoctrinated with prison behavior for a decade and you shun anything that looks like freedom.

Freedom is creating your own structure and thriving.

That’s exactly what internet trade school is.

Of course there are scammers in internet trade school.

Art is a scammer degree.
Gender studies is a scammer degree.
Sociology is a scammer degree.

I’d say the biggest scam is still college.

We are in a time of enormous potential to win bigly via the inter webs and the people that are taking advantage are *winning*

You will never hear the news talk about this.

They want you poor and docile.

Internet trade school is freedom.

Freedom to:

*monetize your mastery
*learn from the mastery of others
*create a lane for yourself without a degree
*go to class when you want to
*find whatever class you want to
*practice on your own time
*interact with your professors regularly
*start anywhere and go everywhere

The masses will never wake up. That’s why they are average.

Internet trade school is for the people that knew there was something more to life.

Internet trade school is for the people that got put in the slow classes for acting up because the lessons were boring and robotic.

Internet trade school is for the people that know that the best risk that you can take is a risk on your yourself and your ability to thrive.

Internet trade school is for the dreamers that are ready to shift the new earth paradigm of learning to where its supposed to be.

You don’t need a college degree to be successful anymore.

You also don’t need college to learn.

Education is from the Latin root “educere” which means “to lead out.”

Greatness is already inside of you, and you can use internet trade school to draw it out.
