    So this is obviously a hugely controversial topic that is raging in our society today. In one camp you have the Pro College side that basically thinks that going to college is the key to success and everyone should do it if they want to be successful. In the other camp (very common here on youtube), you have the side that thinks college is a giant scam and we're all falling for it.
    Everyone's situation is different and you should make the decision on whether or not to go to college based on your unique situation
    Now in MOST situations, you should NOT go to college if you're passionate about a field where there's not much money. You would be way better off just working in the field, maybe spend your time becoming an influencer in that field or something like that. That experience would be WAY better for you.
    Compare that to 4 years of going to college and then you finally get a degree and you've forgotten most of what you learned. You're also probably $40k in debt and can't find a job
    The thing is, anything worth building takes TIME, rarely do people ever become overnight successes and even when it does happen you end up finding out later on that they worked for YEARS learning how to perfect their craft before they "blew up overnight"
    Years of working in the dark with no pay, no recognition and no influence
    Just grinding away and mastering their craft
    Then they "blew up", if they hadn't spent all of that time they never would have blown up
    This is why I really think the safe bet is to get a safe, stable career and then use that as stable ground to launch off of. Have stability and then chase your passion on the side. It will probably take years to take off so you will need that stability in order to launch
    Pay: This one is obvious, if everyone is making $30k a year its obvious that society doesn't value the job enough to pay well. Whether this is right or wrong (teachers being an example, they should definitely be paid more), it is what it is and you need to recognize and accept this. Choose a field that pays at least (on average) $60k+ a year, preferably $80k a year. This does vary depending on how expensive the place you live is of course
    Job Satisfaction Ratings:
    This one is so important. I see SO MANY people wanting to become doctors, its crazy. I tell them to look into the job satisfaction rating for MDs and its HORRIBLE. MDs are depressed and miserable with their jobs to the point where many switch careers or even end it... Very sad to see. Even though they're making really good money, they get a lot of respect from people in society etc etc it's just crazy and the reason for this is all of the red tape and regulations as well as the huge amount of pressure working those long hours in the stressed environment. Everyone seems to be completely unaware of this and they want to be doctors for some reason and it blows my mind. There are better careers in the medical field to get into in my opinion that have all of the perks without the downsides but thats a topic for another video
    Demand:
    A general rule of thumb is to not go into a field that's dying or has no demand. This is just a recipe for disaster. You will be fighting other people for job openings, won't be able to find a good job in a desirable location, will have to accept lower pay, worse benefits, being treated badly because they could easily replace you, etc etc etc... It's just not a good move to make

      Word of advice to new college students looking to go into stem.....
      The sad truth is that there is always going to be someone out there with a higher GPA and or more experience. You might say right now “Im gonna do CS” and or engineering etc......but you should go into college with a much more open mind, i promise you, your interests are subject to change once you start taking intro classes and major classes. Engineering and CS has a 60%+ drop out rate for a reason and you need to find a way to make yourself special and the time to do it is immediately once you enter college. Its too late after your junior/senior year to make yourself look amazing, you wont stand out more than the next guy/girl. Just always think ahead of your classmates, and also consider that your classmates are your competition once you hit the workforce.
      Lastly, i just graduated from Penn State with an engineering degree and let me just say, data sciences and analytics is becoming an extremely hot field with high pay. But its hard and youd have to enjoy it, on my list of best degrees, thatd take #1. Good luck to all.

    I think the most overrated advices to college students is “pursue a degree in something you like.” Instead, we should tell all college students to “pursue something you’re good at, and you can use the income you made from your degree to do something you like.” If you like art, and you are really good at graphic design, don’t major in Art, major in Graphic Design instead because it’s more lucrative. Let’s face it, the thing we like to do isn’t always going to generate income! If you like Art, and you pursued a degree in Art, you might not even make enough money to sustain your own passion in Art!

    EDIT:HR is a good career to go into, however majoring in an HR degree is not advisable unless you double major in it and something else. The reason for this is you can become an HR manager with a number of different degrees whereas if you get an HR degree you sort of pigeonhole yourself into that one career. Still not a horrible degree, but not as good as many of the other business related ones. Sorry for the confusion there!

      Better to do accounting. Because some HR positions require working in payroll, and throughout your accounting degree, you still learn a lot about organization behaviour, employment laws and such.
      But the main problem with HR is that if you major in it, you can hardly do anything else. While if your major in different degrees, you can work in jobs that require that degree and HR if you like.

      Pretty much everyone who isn't loaded already will have to pick money for one of the two.
      You can be good at anything, really, if you dedicate the time for it, even if it seems hard(e.g. learning a language is possible at any age as long as you try). And you don't have to be perfect, just good enough to get a paycheck.
      As for liking it, you don't have to have a passionate boner for your job. You can relieve yourself in your free time (do what you like outside of work, untied to a paycheck). . . .but ofc, if you can get paid a lot to bust a nut, that would be quite a privilege.
      As for the imposter syndrome you're feeling, no one knows everything at first. That's what school is for--to learn. Take a class that you think is super hard, and if you retake it, it'll be a breeze. And if you see someone who does know everything, know that their progress isn't yours. Focus on yourself, as that's the only thing that should be important to you.

I benefitted from being in the military while getting my degree, BUT this experience can be expressed in many ways. From entry level IT positions, to documenting your own lab work, to getting CERTIFICATIONS. Many "entry level" IT engineering positions require 3 years minimum of experience... CRAZY.

    Engineers do NOT have job security for life. My uncle the Silicon Valley engineer got laid off during the dot com bust and was unemployed for two years.

A field of knowledge that is obsolete by the time you have mastered it. Almost nothing I learned in school is still relevant. I am in my fifties now and have been unable to get an IT job for the last two years. Also, tech jobs are increasingly being outsourced. If you are a software engineer making a six figure salary, I guarantee you there is some smart guy in India who will do your job for ten dollars an hour, and it is only a matter of time before your employer figures this out.

Here is how you survive... keep tabs of your employer’s financial health. Compute revenue per employee and compare it against competitor companies. If the company is not making money, eventually, something will happen. It is always better to leave at your terms. Never be caught lying. Read and internalize the “7 Habits of Effective People”. Work more hours than your peers...BUT... only do so if you are learning a new skill. If you are finding something that is repetitive, automate it by coding (learn Python). Choose to learn skills that will be useful even if you are laid off. If you cannot get along with your immediate manager, look for lateral move. Be positive and have a sense of humor. In your immediate group... always make sure there is at least one person less productive than yourself (hopefully HE/SHE will get laid off... not you). Do not fear failure it is how you learn. Only be annoying if end up always right all the time... otherwise, just stop being annoying. Try to do favors to as many people as you can... this is how your reputation is established. It is always harder to lay off someone who is reputed to be well liked.

Whether soft or hard skills, and always stay competitive and upgrade yourself. If one day you were not doing what you are doing. And plan on a career switch. It would be much easier as you have something to fall back on. One would also learn more skills and be more self disciplined as handling more school work or jobs has more responsibilities as well. So while one can have a main career path, it's good to diversify as well like what you have stated. And also to be able to know everything about something, and something about everything

    As a 16 year old who is trying to decide on what to study since I am on a fast track this is somewhat helpful. I always wanted to be in the STEM field, but engineering has never peaked my interest. I am debating on just going through with a Mathematics degree since it encompasses many careers, but does not give you a direct one. You cannot just rely on the fact that you have a math degree, if it is not a PhD, and would have to build up a resume in different backgrounds.

      Fucking preach it! Success in the arts depends on your creative capacity and hard work first and foremost, but everyone that pursues and sees through art education already has those two factors in check (Some more than others, but all definitely have enough to get by in their field). Now, the other, more important factor left then is your connection and prestige, and to build up both of those you need to attend top Universities for your particular field.
      If you can get all these factors in check and keep on pursuing your passion, success is bound to materialise and follow.

    Senior in cs degree here. My current cons:

    -hard to find tutorials on specific problems
    -you cant half do your work. Your code either works or it doesnt meaning if you work hours on a project and it still doesnt work... it doesnt work
    Finally finding something you actually would like to code every day can be hard to find i personally cant see myself waking up every day trying to solve issues on a A.I. system built my some other guy who didnt explain his code.
    Cs is fun when it works, infact its euphoric but expect some walls you have to climb including possible useless math classes required for your major. Like for real man all cs students need is cal 1 and discrete math. Everything else seems redundant. Sigh

    I suck at math but I’m determined to get good at it. I’m in my junior year for psych, I’m going to finish but next semester I think I’ll start on my second which will be In CS. Hey, everything can be learned rightđŸ€·đŸœâ€â™€ïž

      Nathalie Santos definitely everything can be learned. Your struggle with math is just part of your success story. Go for it. Good luck. =)

      Girl, take a moment to think about your math teacher. 90% of the time, you don't suck at math, it's your shitty teacher. Do you have a good teacher? If not, self teaching is easier than one might think. I have a few tips:
      Of course you've heard that you should practice a lot, but remember to practice in a circle manner. Like, do radians then do trig then do variation then do radians again.
      -Have a notebook where you write down how to do each type of math, just once in a clear way.
      -When you do silly mistakes, just write a little note next to your mistake. This works, idk how.
      -don't try to actively memorise formulas, just practice a lot. You'll remember them.
      -Have a sheet of paper glued to your desk, filled with formulas. Look at it everytime you do math.
      -Read your math textbook like you'd read any other textbook. The examples the little text bubbles are all really helpful.
      -girl, no one sucks at math.
      -you can do this

      @@anyrarahman5481 thanks for the motivation. My forte is language but I'm not passionate enough to make it my career so being more practical, I want to be good at math.

      computer science is all problem solving, if you suck a math or struggle in it, it won’t be pretty. Just research the courses you need to take for a CS degree : Calculus 1-3 , Linear Algebra , Differential Equations , Newtonian Mechanics, Electromagnetic Fields , and over 25+ CS courses

    Hey I really need some advice 😭 I'm a depressed 16 year old with a shit ton of mental health issues so motivation is a HUGE problem for me. And it's also a big reason why I'm on the verge of failing all my classes in high school. For me to be motivated, I have to be doing smth I LOVE. The problem is that the only things I love are psychology and acting. I want to pursue at least one of them and say fuck money but ik that's just gonna make me end up on the streets. I keep on debating with myself if I'd be ready to go for a PhD if I go for psychology but I honestly can't trust myself and how bad my mental health will be a few years down the lain. I'm not by any means super smart so STEM has always been an impossible choice but money is also important. But I also hate office jobs. It feels like I'm cornered and everything was set up against me. What should I do?

    For those who are thinking of majoring in computer science or related tech fields, one area you might want to specialize is Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is one of the most talked about jobs across the world not only in the US. There are hundreds of thousands of jobs out there in the US alone and most of them are unfilled and companies cannot find qualified workers no matter how hard they try. They say you have 0% unemployment rate after graduating in cybersecurity degree.

    Hi Shane. Thank you for this video. I am in a weird place right now. I've been unemployed since March due to the pandemic and the statewide lockdown as well as my own health issues. It took forever for me to finish my degrees and certificates and because of how my life turned out I feel it was a waste of time. I am definitely ready to pivot to something else. I have enrolled in a career exploration class at a local community college to help me find a new path. I was originally a graphic design major but became frustrated because I couldn't find a steady full-time job that paid well. I switched to fine art in order to be able to do my own work but haven't been very successful financially. I've been told that graphic designers make between $30,000.00 and $100,000.00 a year. I've also learned that if I have my work licensed I can have a steady stream of income from the use of my art. I only mention all this because art and design didn't make the top 5 list. Any thoughts or suggestions?
