today we're going to be taking a look at a relatively no it's it's completely useless i was going to be nice it's called organizational leadership and from the looks of it it looks like it's the degree for wannabe bosses that don't have any skills and we're gonna look at some videos we're gonna see how much it costs and we're gonna see what you can do with this degree before we continue if you like these useless college degree videos go ahead click that like button so more people see it become a leader who inspires others builds teams and affects positive change with a master's in organizational leadership from gonzaga university as you prepare to be in charge you'll continue to learn innovate transform and lead others along the way problem here is that you can learn how to lead and transform on your own again without going to school for this and then on top of that getting a degree does not make you a leader you can go to as many training days as you want and it doesn't make you a leader leadership happens over time it doesn't happen with a certificate you don't just here's a certificate now everyone respect me what it's really taught me is patience understanding listening and just really valuing the other the other view the other point of view the other she's a graduate she's an alumni here and she said what this degree really taught me she boiled it down to patience listening and valuing the other point of view that's what she got from this masters degree let me show you how much this cost so if we come over here and then we scroll down here's the university page average annual cost before aid before you get any loans from the government or scholarships it's going to cost you 62 250 per year to learn patience understanding and valuing someone else's opinion all right so watch this person try to justify why you should get a degree in this i decided to go back to school for my master's degree mainly to help kind of kick start my career taking it to that next level from a managerial role into more of like an executive type of role okay so it seems like he just got this degree not because he cares about the degree but because he just wanted a promotion and that seems to be the overall theme of who this degree is targeted at really just a bunch of working professionals who seem to have hit the top rung of whatever ladder they're currently on and to get to the next one they think they need to spend all this money and get this useless degree but here's the thing about promotions you can get as many degrees as you want you can work as many hours as you want you can do whatever you think you need to do for the company that will let you move up but that is not up to you it's up to your boss his boss it's up to the person at the top it's not up to you to control whether you climb the ladder or not they might tell you yeah you need to go back to school get that degree or then we'll promote you and then they and then they don't do it i'm sure many many people that watch these videos have experienced yes um well if you stick around we'll promote you and then that just never happens or if you go back to get this we'll promote you and then that never happens promotions are not up to you climbing your way up to the ladder is not up to you it is up to the people already at the top of the ladder he says i wanted to move up from being a manager to an executive well getting an organizational leadership degree does not make you an executive i chose the organizational leadership program over a master's in business for one primary reason and that was because the master's in business was probably too hard let's just be let's be honest so you hear a lot about leadership but you don't hear a lot about servant leadership and what does that really mean but the crux of the definition was to understand if you're a true servant leader is are the people who you are serving and leading better tomorrow than they were today this man paid thousands of dollars to learn that key concept we just saved everyone that watched this video a bunch of money you're welcome these are just people who don't have any skills who think that getting a degree will make them a boss and a good boss at that but they don't actually do the quantitative stuff you know the the numbers the profit margins they just do the stuff that oh well i smiled at him today instead of walking past and so you know i'm promoting positive change in the workforce like and i'm not saying that stuff doesn't matter right like obviously don't be a jerk but i mean to justify this degree with that amount of money for these tiny come on here's a video from huntington university on why you should study organizational leadership and this is four minutes and 17 seconds and i'll just i'll play it but i'll save you the the tldr is i wanted to go to school but i didn't know what i wanted to do so i just picked something that like was easy i'm curious why did you decide to study organizational leadership sure i wasn't exactly positive with what i wanted to do in terms of career more schooling in that you know that kind of realm um so as i was kind of looking around for options uh this program was suggested to me by one of my professors um and i hope that i was undergrad here so i knew the uh you know the the nature of the university itself um and so as i kind of dug into the researching um what exactly the the topic of organizational leadership i started to find like man this is something that's it's not just applicable in one area but something that's it's universally needed um i think no matter what we look at any kind of business any kind of marketplace um there's always going to be a need for good people i think this is one yeah well you if there's always going to be a need for good people right but this degree does not suddenly make you good people leadership is just something that's uh you know you can't you can't go about it right right we hope the organizational leadership program is a bachelor's degree program that consists oh we're down to bachelor's now most of these are masters now bachelors absolutely makes no sense nobody's going to hire you straight out of college to come be a boss that come on just think about it of 10 courses it's designed for adult students attending seattle university who wish to obtain their bachelor's degree for anyone who wants to take courses in understanding organizations understanding a little bit about leadership but really for those people who want to gain the kinds of skills that are needed in the workplace today isn't that what college is for in general like for every degree like why is this degree specific to people who really want to learn what's needed in the workplace that should be all the degrees right in today's rapidly changing globalized and technologically advanced workplace oh my god the buzzwords dude leadership is required throughout an organization people who can make ethical decisions think on their feet and just work with others so that organizations can achieve their mission vision and goals so it tells you absolutely nothing about what they do like getting a degree in that doesn't let you do that regarding the career outcomes of our students we expect that a student graduating from the organizational leadership program will be able to get a job as a manager or get promoted to a managerial position in the near future after graduation we have research data showing that seven of the top 20 most in demand let's pause this and look at that first line supervisors of retail workers that's what they're using as their quality control metrics here to say we have research that shows you will become a manager yeah the top one is retail manager that's right you're getting a bachelor's degree to be a retail manager and there's nothing wrong with that what's wrong with it is the amount of money you pay to do that because you don't need you don't need this degree to be a retail manager having that bachelor's degree can make an enormous difference in your life so people between the ages of like 22 and 35-ish who have a bachelor's degree make about 18 000 a year more this is not a very good metric let's just be honest six percent job growth in 10 years it's not that's not looking good median income for leadership occupations yeah leadership occupations not organizational leadership degree occupations obviously if you're an executive or higher up in the company you're going to be making more money but this doesn't come on this doesn't translate like that you're just using leadership here that word and then leadership here that word i wanted to grow as far as my education i wanted to develop myself and learn some great leadership skills it all goes back to the mission of the program facilitate the transformation of technical professionals into technical leaders what a bunch of jargon it's like kit bogus worldwide web wide association of tech professionals it's not just learning things that are hypothetical i see it happening every day and so it makes me that much more emotional oh wow okay so let's see what we're learning on the background on the powerpoint number one comprehend what's happening number two analyze why is it happening number three synthesize integrate the why and the what number four employ put it to work people are paying money to read this garbage and they probably paid for these books they're spending money on gas to get to this classroom like this is kindergarten olympic college decided to offer the bachelor of applied science in organizational leadership and technical management because it met a couple of very important needs i feel developing this program was definitely oh my god dude like the first thing that comes to mind is just the phrase okay boomer the right decision and the evidence for that was uh saying that the class was full this year we even had a waiting list oh wow a waiting list for this degree i don't know why it's because people want to get a degree and they want to do something that's easy because a lot of people's parents say you got to get that degree or you're not going to get a job and so nobody knows what they want to do and you end up with full classes and waiting lists of people that are going to get a useless degree and don't no program is definitely meeting local needs i attribute that to the hard work of the administration in our business technology division and the outstanding faculty our students are working professionals keeping that in mind we chose a hybrid delivery format for the program students attend one to two nights a week and the rest of their work is completed online it's a strong blend of on-campus and face-to-face instruction with the flexibility so what do we got what do we got on the board 365 days 24 hours yes those that's how you measure time very good empowerment trust turnover is that absenteeism i assume that safety culture morale a person who desires to be a leader needs certain abilities they need technical skill human skill and conceptual skill just people in general need those skills not leaders it doesn't matter how loud you make the motivational music in the background it's not gonna make your degree useful okay just take note college all right so here's a video titled what can you do with an organizational leadership degree so before getting into the specific career areas or professional directions you can take an organizational leadership degree it helps to talk a little bit about what organizational leadership is and although there's not a universally accepted definition of organizational leadership okay so they don't even know what organizational leadership means most practitioners in the field will agree that it has to do with things like hiring and training successful employees managing processes and leading people as well as inspiring others through successful change initiatives so that's right you can have a job inspiring others through successful change initiatives it sounds like hr but it's not hr and you're definitely not going to be a boss organizational leadership can lead you towards career success in a wide array of industries and roles but a number of common titles of our graduates are things like training and development or human resources managers non-profit or education leaders as well as executive coaches or management consultants how are you supposed to graduate with with this and then suddenly start telling executives what to do come on they're the ones that are gonna be telling you what to do since you know they're the ones hiring you what can i do with an organizational leadership degree let's try again the promise that i made to myself about going back to school i'm not going to quit a lot of stuff that justin did in my life is that i got this confidence limitation is just a thing of the mind i'm applying for jobs that i never imagined that i wouldn't want to put application for your promise matters at judson university that's why our promise is to help you keep yours find your program today visit judsondegree.com so what can i do with an organizational leadership we don't know uh i guess he he gains some confidence and he can apply to jobs that he would have never thought to have applied to before or something here's another one instead of what can you do it's how will this organizational leadership degree benefit me organizational leadership is for individuals they're simply wanting to pursue a greater influence whether it's in that specific job setting that they're in or they're wanting to take off into something that is even more i think connected to their passion in this specific program that judson provides the student a way in which they can find a pathway to meet their goals how how are they going to what what goals what passions are you talking about how will this benefit all right so you've probably heard enough about organizational leadership degrees at this point right but what if i told you there's a degree called ethical leadership that's right you can learn how to be an ethical this is what hr lady said she said if you have to go to school to learn how to be an ethical leader what does that really say about you as a person and you know i agree that this program is about people and how we can get the best out of the people that we lead we're looking at the dignity that each person contains building on foundations of trust honesty integrity making sure as ethical leaders that we're not just talking about leading ethically but people are leading by example you know you can be a great leader but if you don't have that ethical position then you're not really a leader the master of arts and ethical leadership is a 36 credit hour program so it's 36 credit hours and the cost per credit hour at this university is 580 dollars mba m a m a e l s right ethical leadership so that is 580 dollars per credit hour let's open up the old calculator uh it's 20 000 i want 21 000 to learn how to be a good person i guess you got to love how they break the prices down to the credit hour to make it seem like it's more reasonable but like you serious and that's not including the other things like room and board transportation personal fees i guess regular regular fees on top of your tuition fees like that doesn't seem very ethical of this college let's let's let's look at some jobs let's see ethically leaders there a job for ethical leader staff accountant sales representative radio technologist performance coach team lead payment solutions 10 to 15 an hour that's this is probably honestly where you'd end up uh under the team lead of payment solutions manage 15 payment solutions specialists for 15 well you know you're not going to get the upper end you'll probably get 12 dollars and 50 cents an hour two years in a leadership or elevated role supporting loss mitigation so i like i feel like if you were in a leadership role you're making 1250 an hour like come on three years work experiencing customer facing operations for 12.50 cents an hour yeah this is here this is what you're going to school for right here uh actually in and out in and out pays more money than this team lead payment solution does it make burgers also uh 13.50 an hour i hear that they have really good work do you remember when making burgers used to be a meme like i'll just go flip burgers for a living it's paying more than what jobs you do actually for a living pay that's all i got for today's video if you enjoy these useless college degree videos let me know click like click subscribe leave a comment let me know what you think and if you'd like to troll your friend who has this degree go ahead and send that to him in the dm as well i'd like to see the response anyways i'll see you guys in the next [Music] one you
