Charlie Kirk's Eleven-Year Gap Year That Built Turning Point USA
Showing 5 Gap Year videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Charlie Kirk described taking what he expected to be a one-year break from college at 18, after not getting into West Point, to start Turning Point USA, a gap he says has now lasted more than a decade; he advises young people that a degree matters far less than character, work ethic, and treating setbacks as opportunities to take personal responsibility. A separate video features homeschooling advocate Connor Boyack laying out five financial and practical reasons not to send a child to college in the current economy, arguing the societal expectation that college is necessary no longer matches reality. Other videos in this pool include Kirk's broader argument that college makes sense for specific career paths but not as a universal default.
