Bill single handedly helped to keep our HBCU’s alive. Now the message is college is a waste of time. At the same time many if not most high level/ high paying jobs require it. Especially in medicine, law, engineering etc.

There are tons of ways to make money nowadays but I would never encourage a kid to bank on anything other than academia to provide them with a sure quality of life as an adult.
The 4-8 years of work you gotta put in to have a reasonable place in the job market is a small price compared to spending your adult life being perpetually broke while chasing crypto, trading, social media, youtube rat races.

Classic moment in television history. It was true for its time but not any more. Plus Huxtables were elitists and masked it by us being proud they were black. You think about it, they were disappointed that their college educated kids didn’t become doctors and lawyers. That was their biggest failure in parenting. All of them turned out very good though. Sondra and Elvin tried to follow their dreams and were thrown way under the bus for it like they did something wrong.

You have to adjust for inflation now lol.
Also Theo would’ve just tried to become a social media influencer in this time

I don't believe that you're automatically a failure for not going to college, but that intentionally underachieving shyt ain't the wave.
You'll take that mentality with you into everything you do and just be a bum forever.

No money, no honey Theo 
Not uncommon for the 1980s.
I remember hearing my uncles and aunts talk about how their rent was under $100 in the mid-late 70s. Not Manhattan but not too far away.

Also u have to remember the times of going to college and getting a degree was a must..
Today I feel a college degree or a two year training degree/certificate is important especially for black men as well as experience .. they keep pushing the bar up to keep black men out the work force in high level paying jobs
I remember many years ago it was get a degree and u good… that’s what many brothers did and then they added u need to have 4/5 years experience
