agreed
You are absolutely right. Thank God my son has both a college degree in Criminal Justice. He graduated High School with a certificate in small engines and auto mechanics and has worked at both to gain experience. He also has a CDL and his own business now as he owns his own tractor trailer. something I encouraged when he was in highschool he was in votech all 4 yrs he was in high school.
Robots will still need programmers and engineers. Its the robots that are doing the manual labor jobs. I own a trucking company and robots are replacing forklift operators. The robots load our trucks at some locations but they still have folks in the warehouses to program them. Robots are not taking college-level jobs but the labor jobs. I seen this myself about 7 years ago.
He ain't lying but where is the money he's been collecting for years to start a school? Riddle me that.
HAVE MOST PEOPLE STILL NOT LEARNED TO NOT TAKE WHAT SOMEONE SAYS AS FACT AT FACE VALUE JUST BECAUSE ITS SOURCE IS A FAMILIAR FACE/NAME? Umar is basically saying that robots are not created to operate in "trade" fields of expertise so promote your children to pick up a trade and forget college. Forgive me if I'm wrong(I say that for the sake of knowing I'm not God), but there are young men & women in college creating problem solving robots that can think as well as complete an objective without human assistance. With that in mind, there lies a robots ability which is basically computer programs with mechanical capabilities. At this point in society because robots/robotics are created for assistance most jobs are not in jeopardy, but believing that a trade is the area to focus on when considering a career and financial stability its literally only a matter of time. (continued)
Everyone is not college material, a good trade is more profitable for some.
we need to listen carefully before we comment because what he is saying is major in a profession that can only be done with human hands carpenter, electrician, painter, Plummer these were the skills that our culture did back in the days and was able to build and purchase land and property and didn't had a big college debt when they got through if you want to be a Doctor, Lawyer, Dentist then you will have to go to college some surgery now don't necessarily need a doctor but they have them in the room to make sure everything goes good so he do have a valid point because trade school do not leave you in big debt verses college.
I believe what he's saying is the truth.
that is partially true. Even "trades" are in danger with 3D Printers. Anything you can build or repair can actually be done by robots. Mechanics, Carpentry, etc, are all in danger as well.
black people...😑 we still need to educate ourselves to the highest level possible! if an individual person wants to go to college, who are you to say they should not. furthermore, many skills are obtained without knowledge of the business. some people are struggling with simple grammar. even common courtesy is a learned behavior. I'm black, thankful, I have a skill, I've learned to be kind, and I would never tell another young black person not to get a college education. do all that you can, while you can, as you can! let tomorrow take care of tomorrow!
You are hundred percent correct. And upon certification, they will be able to provide needed services in their communities and beyond.
I have always suggested this to young brothers school is not for everyone and college racks up alot of debt. trades make great monet also

He aint lying….
I disagree with part of that post, simply because, if my child wants to be a lawyer, doctor or a judge, they don't have a trade school for that sir.
DUHHMMY🤣 “learn a trade that can only be done by human hands”, then.. “any job that a robot can do won’t be around years from now”. Those are the trade jobs you duhhmmy.
he's got a valid point up to a point...a computer can't argue a case in court or perform surgery...
I enjoy college, regardless!
Even with a trade, some of those jobs will definitely go to yt, untrained people, just like in the WH.
We don't go to college just for earning money. We go to college to obtain an education. Because the mind is a terrible thing to waste. Send your children to college to be educated because the mind of an uneducated person is destructive to society. Education for education sake is invaluable. That does not take anything away from the importance of having or attending a trade school. They are both important. you can have both.
where is the school Umar
A flood with rust that robot. A black out with stop that robot. A short in the wiring with halt that robot.
Trades are what AI is replacing!! Robots can do any trade!! Robots are already doing trade jobs!! AI can't do a doctors, lawyers, etc job!! You got it backwards Sir!! That's okay! Everyone gets it wrong sometimes. Happy New Year!!
traid school!!!
Suggest they go to both’
YES LORD ⚘️ SO TRUE AMEN 🙏 🙌 💯💪🛐🕊✝️
George Washington Carver propose this very thing many many years ago while he was working wonders with the peanut👍
Big Fact's Straight Up !!! 💯👌💯👍💯
Seems quite logical🤔
For someone with a post grad degree discouraging black kids from going to college is an outrage. I’m not against trade school but nothing beats having the college experience. You can incorporate the trade before during or after but in my view get a college degree.
my dad said in the sixties an education is the greatest but u better be sure u can use yo hands too,head and hands skills the greatest👍
So true.thank you sir.
correct
this is so true. y'all better go to trade school.
ALL People should heed this statement. High school shop classes helped mold my success.
yes he is so right ✅️
I was a painter for 40 years. A humble trade for sure. I could paint anything from a 20-story building to gold leafing a cross on the highest of steeples. I painted water towers as high as a small mountain. Bridges over rivers. I painted them all. It put food on my table, a roof over my head, and clothes on my family. That suited me just fine. For years, my oldest thought I was a dumb because I was always in my paint clothes, until one day, when he was 17 and I got him his first job with me. His respect for me changed during that period. There is nothing wrong with a man who can work with his hands.
You are right about that I have to talk to my grand children about this thank you very much
Just give me my reparations so I wouldn't have to go through this crap in the first place
Agreed!! Who among us has never needed a plumber??
Amen Amen
Learn AI. Stay ahead of the curve in any trade by finding out what companies are doing in the research and development process.
y'all better believe this matter and situation because this is real talk about how they trying to make sure that black people don't have any money and food and everything else that we need so go get a trade for yourself through it all Amen
He’s right looking at Walmart or self check out no more cashier but maybe too. They better take Heed of what he’s saying.
Labor is the first thing AI is going to do. coding is the future. Don't listen to the BS.
Absolutely I went to avocational and Technical High School
real thing!!
Amen
Truth
He's not lying. if I was able to restart my life I would have done what he is talking about
I dropped out and went to trade school for 4 years 🤷 out here living better and making more than most of you ever will 🤣😂 im only 27 and making more than both my parents ever did 😉
Don't say it too loud because then they are raised the cost of getting the trade when it's a whole hell of a lot less than going to a four-year college. I just told my nephew this Don't just get one trade get three!!
Education is never a waste. Major in something that won’t be affected by AI.
true that
I said that shit 20 years ago...😂😂😂
You know, I agree with this 100% I’ve always was against the removal of trade schools in schools like auto mechanics like woodshop like Home economics and horticulture and now we need to include HVAC and more electrical
100%
