A little bit different from typical EA stuff, but I think it's still relevant in terms of doing good. The video talks about how getting certain degrees is not a useful thing in terms of money and helping society, and how trade school is often a much better option in terms of job security (and thus, have a little to give to effective charities).
I don't think I was really very... in your face in the video as I was in my last one.
Anyway, for discussion, in terms of job utility and money, I argue that jobs such as those in STEM fields and Medical School are the best since they not only are useful for society but they're also quite lucrative fields, which means you can help society with your job AND have tons of money to give. I think it's better to encourage that than say Wall Street jobs that are often recommended. However, I don't think everyone ought to go to college (as I explained in my video) and Trade School offers many job opportunities that are both useful and fairly lucrative (although not quite to the extent as STEM for instance).
As an aside I have concerns about encouraging people to go into high paying jobs (such as working in Wall Street) just so they can give all disposable income to charity, since some may feel as though it's asking a bit too much for no real return (at least as they perceive), an thus is a strong discouragement (If I'm not willing to give 90%, why bother giving at all?). But that's a discussion for another thread.
Actually, my argument was that people in general shouldn't go to college because they'll major in useless crap. I don't really think anyone should major in art stuff frankly (and other things).
You COULD be successful, but in this day and age college is a waste of time for arts (as I said, you do better by doing things you like and going at your own pace rather than doing something some pretentious jackoff assigned to you. Also should mention you learn more by DOING rather than just "practicing").
Not using your right hand is a hindrance. Going to art school is a hindrance.
That was my point though. You may have just misinterpreted.
How?
Nathan I tire of this little debacle, either concede that 99% of art degrees are a waste of time and money, or just gunnae drap it.
