Survivorship bias as well before anybody wants to start criticizing people.
Maybe many people may already have jobs they like? If I got a college degree and got a good job, why would I attend that call?
Additionally, people want to see results. Are those calls actually resulting in significant progress?
They probably are beneficial, but that'll be different for everybody.
If those calls are 2-3 hours per month and you're trying to break into something like software then that's 24-36 hours per year where you can spend learning and skill-building something directly instead. That's a significant time of learning on something directly vs spending that time on something that can "kinda be" beneficial.
That's a full college course someone could be spending on a specific skill, which will translate to any job.
A lot of times people who attend these kinds of meetings are actually doing so to avoid the actual difficult part. It's easy to show up and do nothing. It's like people who constantly watch videos on "how to study" vs people who actually go to study. The latter group will always win unless the former group actually gets good info and starts applying what they learned and starts acting like the latter group.
