I do like when Tommy goes on random talks about nothing to do with the game, class
dann hast du pech
The Lord of the Rings music makes this hit alot more harder than it should
Honestly I feel like Tommy's view on the miltiary is colored by the German military. Here in Sweden at least the military is a bit harder to get into. Mainly because the funding is limited so they don't accept dumbasses.
Also about the university thing, I am 19 right now and I know exactly what I want. I am studying to become a historyteacher and I'm pretty sure it's a realistic thing to do. If you know exactly what to do and it's realistic you can go directly into uni and be fine.
Dawg in serbia you need to be super smart can't have any diseases and you need to be fit
damn you guys get a fucking choice? bruh i am getting conscripted here in Lithuania
But the military in european nations and most other countries are still shit. I can't respect any soldier because in my eyes they do nothing besides paperwork and other non important stuff. In a war scenario it's something diffrent
@@DavidMarkovic646 hvala Isusu pa je tako kako je, a ne da mi na fronti bude neki LGBT buraz koji jedva pusku drzi
I am 18 and soon to be 19 and I'm in the German army and I can realat what tommy says but my personal experience was really great I have a lot of opportunities there
Currently I make a apprenticeship (Ausbildung) in the army to be a mechanic
For me it was a good decision
Yeah when it comes to engineering the army can give great opportunities and i guess it looks good on a CV aswell
Hey, wo bist du stationiert?
well also the thing he mentioned about people not being real soldiers is fair. In history if the army is made up of new recruits and positioned far away from the frontlines or any other conflict. They tend to slacken a bit in discipline and in some cases believe an enemy will never come so why bother being a soldier. But at the same time I'm just a dumb ass who likes studying history and got this idea from there idk if it was a unit specific thing for him or not.
EDIT: you probably also already know this idk why I explained it. sorry T-T
you can't find this in republic of türkiye. because erdoğan ruined everythings... thats why i hated 2020s. i wish go back 2000s and 2010s dude.
3:00 I can attest to this. When I was a teenager I was dead set on getting a political science degree. Started going to college at 18 and realized I absolutely hated it. Dropped out two semesters in. Then for the next couple of years I wanted to be a teacher. Looked at options for school and realized I didn't care for that either. Then around 21 years old, I found a passion in culinary arts. I'm 26 now and I still have this interest (obsession really lol) with culinary arts. I'm certain I want to be in this line of work for the rest of my life. For real take some time for yourselves and actually think about what you want to do with the rest of your life. Not only will you save yourself time and money in your youth but also you'll gradually surround yourself with others and make friends that will help you achieve your goals.
EDIT: TLDR: You don’t need a set path when you get out of high school. You just need to try things out, and if you don’t enjoy that, then move on.
When I was around 17 we had this 2 month film course in Danish class, where we had to study and make our own documentaries (theme didn’t matter). Before this course, I thought I wanted to be an architect cause it seemed both stabile and interesting. But while we were making the film, I was talking with a close friend about how I’d always loved telling stories through film and editing, and how it could keep me up for hours at night. And he asked me why I didn’t pursue it then. I of course told him that jobs are limited and money is tight, so becoming an architect was better, even if I’d prefer to be a film photographer or editor. He convinced me of the exact thing that Tommy said. Pursue film making. Because even if you end up pay check to pay check for a good period of your life, at least you’re happy and motivated getting out of bed in the morning. So that’s what I’m gonna do. But that’s not my point here.
Last month, I volunteered for basic training in the military (4 months) starting in February. Not because I have any intention of staying. I’ll be applying to 2 film schools (and architecture school) in the summer. It’s really just to have that experience. And I would say that’s probably my ultimate advice for people coming out of high school. You don’t need to have a specific career goal in mind like I have. You don’t need to go to medical school right out of high school. What’s most important is that you try a lot of different things. See different places and different people. I’m only 20. I’ve worked as a graphic designer, a nursery assistant in a kindergarten, a waiter in a restaurant. In January I’m going to Kenya for some volunteering work and then into the military. Not one of these was planned more than a month before applying and I’m not planning to make any one of them a career. I just thought why not and went from there. So if your passion is telling stories like it is mine, then you better go look for some, or make some of your own. Because life is short, and once you start an education, it’s very easy to get bogged down thinking that’s your only path. And then it’s good to have some other experiences to draw from. That’s all I’ll say.
In Germany it can make sense if you wanna study medicine, if you don't fulfill the requirements
The US military gave me alot of opportunities, made friends, travelled to different states and gave me a different perspective. But the US Military has a lot of opportunities like PA school, Dental School and more. It really depends on what you put in and take advantage on those opportunities.
*The US army pays for college while you're in the service *Tuition Assistance is what its called or after 4 years of service the Gov pays for your college.
is the military really worth it?
I'm currently 18, at University and Tommy is bang on, I really don't know what I want and I went in too quickly. Don't rush in people, it really hasn't put me in a great place mentally. currently in the process of dropping out and trying again next year, I just wasn't ready leaving high school and going right on it after a few months.
again I picked something I didn't care about and now I plan to pursue what I actually have interest in, history. The Soul Way!
Don't worry bro half of the people in my friends group including me did the same.
@@G31M1 bless I bet their happier for it
Big respect to Tommy's money vs soul take - I worked a shit job for exactly a year. Fucking hated it. Left that job, looked for something else, and found one that pays a lot less but is much more fulfilling. Now I don't have as much money, but I don't hate every moment that I'm at work. Since you spend so much of your life working, that's super important. I wouldn't go back to that old job for anything.
Tommy legit motivated me! Danke schön Brüder❤️
Ya I know he is very inspiring
I am about to finish high school and i was always a little bit worried about what i would choose. Thanks Tommy, you actually helped.
This background music landed so well
Working as a sailor, especially in the navy, is cool when you get to new places and meet new people around, even if you're stuck on a ship.
Very underrated video. Thank you Tommy.
Another thing is your passion can be applied to something more practical. I had to "learn to love" economics as part of my education because I knew it would be helpful. Through a love of learning history you can find a lot of economic education through a historical perspective and if you have good professors they can help you with that.
When i was 18 many of my school mates went to universities and got degrees and are now stuck in endless works schedules stressful jobs and regret their decision to go to universities.
I didnt go to a university neither did i join the military when i was 18 instead i started working intill i was 26 then i joined the navy served for a year and found it to be fun. I Sweden you serve at least 3-4 months of basic training then its up to you if wanna keep doing your service or go back to civilian life wich most of the conscripts/voluteers do. I stayed because as i said it was fun and i already had a job waiting for me when i got back. And just like Tommy i meet people who didnt like the military life and saw it as a waste of their time and i meet some who saw opportunities in the military. Just a warning(dont know if its the same in other countries.) in Sweden you can be employed in the military but only for 12 years if you not joining the officer corps that is. But i didnt stay in the military after one year. I have a civilian job that i work only part time. I dont really need to work full time. I rather spend the rest of the days with my family and friends. And in my line of work i meet new younger people all the time. Most of them goes to universities being push by their parents and the systematic promise of wealth by the universities to get a degree. But sitting down and spending time with my family and friends beats any money cars mansions and private jets in the world.

I soviet russia you don't to the military, the military comes to you
Classic
I was in the swiss military for 5 months, we have obligatory service over there. I mean i felt also most of the time that i did waste my time doing dumb shit. The thing is that as a soldier you need to follow and dont think too much. Thats why they make you "dumb", thats the purpose of "drill". If you think too much you are not a tool that can get used. I mean i made my truck driver licence over there and also from a mental and physical standpoint i did get mulitple times to my limit and even surpassed it, that was a very important live lasting experience. For example we walked with 30kg in the mountains(beautiful) on our body hours and hours and often i was at a point where i did think i couldnt anymore, but then i just keep on walking. That was a very valueable lesson for me personally. But yeah, in general there is a lot of waste of money and ressources and you are doing nothing or dumb shit and get paid for it(not much). Waste of gasoline, just driving around for fun or shooting tons of ammunition for no reason. From a societal perspective it is outrageous that so much money and brain power is getting wasted for months and from a personal experience, there is way better thing to do with your time, i mean yeah, you get fit, you get stronger mentally(not guaranteed) but you can do that also in a way more efficient way on your own i think. Get your education, go to the gym and challange yourself mentally and phisically, way better then going to the military!
yeah i agree with you mann. military its wasting to times. just like gaben did say about PS3 for wasting for everyones times.
Its been so long since a simple video line that resonated so much in me, thanks tommy
tommy dropping that confucian wisdom
Yea, it was actually good advice
i disagree. Do whatever your goal is. If youre goal is to be famous then find a field/career that gives you fame, if you want to be rich then find that field, if you want to be a soldier then go do that, etc.
Figuring out your goal is by far the most important thing. Personally, my goal is to have Power. and im taking steps to achieve that.
I went to Norway military. It was fun to challenge myself and learn to use weapons.
Tommy: if you love your job you are everyday happy.
Tommy doing hoi 4achievments or 24hs runs: i jus twanna die
Tommy is spitting facts. My dad is financial advisor and really doesn't enjoy his job because he only did it for the money and didn't really follow his passion for music or movies. My mom also didn't work with children like she always wanted and keeps complaining about it.
So many of my friends changed career paths including me. Don't get pressured my dudes. The industry always wants us to work as soon as possible, but fuck them. Do whatever you desire and try to find a compromise between money and something you are genuinely interested in if you are desperate. High quality women don't care all that much about money and see the beauty in you that is invisible to others.
Make a video about the Spanish flu. It's very interesting (Extra history recommended)
what did he do during 10 years of law school. isn't that like a 5 year thing
I'm 20 and I'm soon gonna be in the army for one reason only which is that it is probably the easiest way to save up money for future goals, because your expenses are very limited as transportation is payed for you, and you get 27€ every day that is besides your salary for food, at least that is how it is in the Danish army.
the lord of the rings shire music almost made me cry
1500 euros per month on the German army, 2 euros per month on the Greek army.
well that’s a scam
@@outrider425 Nah, that's how pay goes in developing (or debted in Greek's case) countries' army
Bro just said the lawyer meta
Awesome talk with nice perspective!
Its weird, i was in the reserves, and still am. But i did a degree but i feel the only thing i learned during the time was stuff from the army. taught me discipline and self restraint.
Yea I live in New Zealand and I asked someone who works with my dad about the military he said that he would join the navy because the navies the one getting all the funding and stuff
Bro the British army teachers skills you can use your whole life
I did 5 years active duty in the US Army. That shit sucked but the benefits made it worth it
I’m also Australian and also thinking of joining the armed forces very soon. I’m not doing the army though, I’m joining the navy I think the travel is exciting and you get paid more (at least for the gap year option I’m choosing)
sry but did he do anschluss before ww1? what mod is this?
too bad the soul way doesnt pay the bill
Military service is mandatory in Greece. I guess the pay is good.
Holy shit this video hit too fucking hard AWARE
Fantastic advice the military argument is pretty good although it varies country to country as benefits very. I was so dead sét joining the Air Force that I didn’t care about anything else well COVID happened screwed me over in getting the job I wanted and now work a job I hate and I hate the Air Force. I lost contact with all my friends back home and am stuck in a place I don’t like very much for an extra year again because of COVID. Now I’m slowly getting use to it but I can’t change my job for another 2 years so I’m trying to switch to reserves in a few years but who knows if that’ll get approved. Anyways I wish I went to uni biggest regret I have had.
nope
on a my second deployment let’s go 😐
It's true only if you get free college it's worth it
went to university instead of joining the army as a kid, honestly wish I did the opposite looking back on it all
bro sound like such a dad
plz make more of thesse vids
Issue is Australia military is joining. My god medical will reject on any issue they can. A friend was rejected on something he never had. Spend thousands to prove it wasn't true and finally joined. Talked to another friend. You lie while being questioned by medical you tell them nothing unless they can prove it. It's disgusting that honesty is looked down upon.
i would go in the army in the usa with free health care free collage and more i think that would be worth it
depends on the army
my dad was in the german army once dont know what he thought about it but he couldnt fit in a tank he was a bit to fat
Here in brazil our military is a joke pure meme the only thing can "save" is our jungle training program
Go ask Zack from Mikeburnfire if the military is a good idea :^) He has hours of complaints about his service.
is that lotr music in the bg?
yes
I wonder if this is the general consensus on the military in Germany?
Me an American who wants to join the army so I'm not fucked over with university debt
I rather not join the army because even when the Grunts there are stupid already , i probably am gonna endanger the other grunts with my sheer living room temperature IQ
At least the next generation would be less miserable after watching this video
Yeah, though we still have a lot of those people who only care about money and traditional “success”, like all Andrew Tate’s dumbass followers
zyzz
Sadly laughs in Korean as its mandatory for us 😂
@@uuuu-h3m Turkey?
I served in the military for 8 years and I don’t recommend it
Never. Unless it's a world war and the conflict is reaching upon your borders. If you love your nation only then conscript. If not then nah just run away
I wanna join the German army but I’m in the USA how can I join someone tell me what I need to do
speak german fluent
get citizenship
wow
YOU SHOULD NOT GO TO THE MILITARY!
its called ikigai, pick a field of study that helps the world, that gives decent pay, that you know how to do, and that you enjoy..
im going chemical engineering 100%, and cant imagine taking a gap year, since im in grammar school i will probably dedicate my whole life to research, and read history books on the side.. also economics isnt a good degree at all, youre just a capitalist collaborator and youre not actually useful at all
i join the army if it is 1935
I went. To anyone reading. Don’t.
do it for putin

rip all the weebs who wasted time on a Japanology degree
Rare TommyKay L Moment.
Did you watch the same video as me? The military wasn't the only thing he was talking about in the video.
“rare”
I might be willing to join the military, but the American military is a fucking embarrassment right now.
Honestly it’s not. It’s appearance makes it seem like that because of how they’re trying to appeal to today’s generation but once you get to your unit you’ll realize it’s been the same for 20 years.

nice video with LOR theme music
Soul way, here I come!
