nice

Same boat. I just graduated last month with a bachelors in biochem and knew i wanted to do art instead. But i didnt think it was lucrative and people around me said that too so here i am. I finally took an art class in my last semester and felt at home. So now im going to chase that.

"The system failed a lot of us." Nailed it. My advice is love yourself and act to do the best for yourself. I relate with every word you are saying.

I'm freshman now and senior in my major make me have anxiety. It makes me hate my major.

Check out my "Dear Diary" series th-cam.com/play/PL-m_NtGGtzm5sF-XjGJjUwfWhAh_u-2Wh.html

I'm in a situation where everyday I feel a deep regrets for swifting into a course only to hate it. I'm in my second year and I'm planning to shift to CS. Should I? Need help

Literally cried watching the latter part🥲 I should have searched for this video earlier, so that I won’t be trapped in the same major as a graduate student now. I feel you so much about how you don’t want to give it up considering how much money and effort spent… We all deserve a life doing we love! It’s okay to be unconventional!

My daughter is going through the same thing and I mentioned the same thing to her but I also mentioned to her that many of the masters degree programs do not require a bachelor's in the same major. So if you have an inclination for a different major that would be a better choice find out what the requirements are for that master's degree program because oftentimes you can get in with any bachelor's degree you might have to take one or two prerequisite classes. and there is teaching, which for elementary school requires one or two standardized tests plus any bachelor's. or if the bachelor is in a middle or high school subject, only one standardized test and maybe two community College courses in health and computers. If you are not sure if you would like teaching I recommend being a substitute teacher after your bachelor's degree. that is a good part time job too because you can say no when they call you early morning to come in. in California you also need a standardized test and a background check. this will allow you to see what it's like being a teacher. even though managing kids can be more challenging as a sub as you probably know. And some schools the kids are more challenging regarding their behavior than other schools.

If you ever need to talk, I’m here to listen

The only thing I disagree with here is the claim that life isn’t a race. Everything else was spot on.

There's something raw about the video presentation. It really feels like a sincere message that I don't find in many TH-cam videos similar to this. Great stuff! Made me feel a lot better about my journey as an unenthusiastic chemical engineering student.

Thank you for this, really.

☺️

Keep doing what feels right for you ☺️

I completely I understand where you’re coming from, you’re not alone

soo happy to see you back ☺️

To shop cosmetics and skin care....where..

Finally a video!! We missed you! Awesome video as always. I never really understood people who fear success though. Its so weird. I only fear failure.

too late for me...im looking for internships after graduation

advice for anyone, take volunteering hours or community service in the degree you chose to study to know if it really is for you or go for what you are passionate for no matter how unrealistic it looks is for everyone, if you what you are passionate about, everything will fall into place.

Capitalism is so embedded in our social construction that it hurts aspiring creatives who want to live unconventionally😭

I’m 29 graduated about a year ago, worked at a big corporate company for the past 10 months and i hated it. Maybe the corporate world isn’t for me. I couldn’t be myself there, had to talk a certain way and act a certain way. Idk i felt trapped. Needless to say i quit and i feel bad and guilty. Help

Thnx alot for this video :'( im having a break down for choosing architecture. .. even after 4years i still feel worthless . But this vdo boosted my mood a bit

It’s been over a year since you uploaded, I hope you will return back to TH-cam, you’re an amazing person

i just want to be self-employed, I don't like working in offices but I don't like working with clients too.

Hey we all miss you very much, I hope you’re doing well and hopefully you can come back, I’m in the similar situation as you and it feels good that there are people that are waking up to this toxic conditioning of the education system, it’s all about business for them

That's meeee in so many ways, for now, i'll type this comment and i'll get back to it every now and then and make an update on my state. Right now i'm totally lost in so many ways, but i'm pretty sure that i'll start doing what i needed to do 5 years ago. It really hurts thinking of 5 lost years at the best stage of age, but as you said, fuck it, i think that the most important thing i learned from this tough experience is being the leader of my own life and not give compromises on my major life decisions according to what people think especially people close to me. I came to the realization that i'm the best who can understand me and what i really need. Even if tough, think of your journey as an adventure and this will ease things up and give u joy through challenges. ciao

I'm crying, I am in situation that I hate so much my degree is a education degree, i thought I could get through for 4 years but my anxiety and depression is killing me. I want to study a business degree, especially economics because I have always like the markets and trading and investments despite that in my country the stock market is nothing compared to the us, or European countries . If I change my parents and relatives would think that I am a disappointment. I don't know what to do. I always tried to get good grades, however I feel it's just a waste of effort for a degree I will not use it and is a worthless degree it isn't like medicine or a engineering that at least have good pay job, so much time wasted and I barely have 1 and half. The worst is that with my degree I couldn't apply for any job that at least I feel interest. I have to visit my shrink, for this kinda problem. Just I have to stay strong and endure as much as I can. You are not alone, well reading this comments I don't feel so bad at the moment.

I'm just crying

I miss you

this is really me right now :/ im in my second last year doing a business degree and I've known for awhile that I really don't like business as a whole but I didn't know what else I would rather study and I didn't want to take time off because of a combination of parental expectations, simply not wanting to, and not having the funds to go off for a year to "find myself". i even changed my major within business from accounting to operations management and every semester im just wondering what on earth I'm doing with my life. I haven't pursued internships or networking as much as I should have because of fear and now I'm about to finish up this degree with no relevant experience and I'm terrified. I always wanted to do art in high school but didn't even allow myself to consider it because I thought money would be enough to motivate me and it really isn't. Sometimes I think i could be okay with a typical 9-5 with an office and free lunches and whatever else the corporate life gives you and other times I think I would 100% waste away into a miserable depression if I did that. I want to work on my art again but everytime I sit down I can't bring myself to start or I feel like I should be working on schoolwork instead. I feel like an idiot because I could have hustled and gotten a well paying business job and be set for life but I always felt out of place and uncomfortable in that atmosphere and I find comfort in knowing there are others like me and others who don't work in the field they studied but it seems like such a far off future that I can't imagine what I will end up doing

Congratulations! i hope this day come to me ASAP :)

I have that problem, I’m studying a three year environmental chemistry job heavily based on the chemistry part and I HATE IT. Being put in a laboratory and being told to just mix chemicals is so scary. I actually got a anxiety and panic attacks because of laboratory (well I guess I have anxiety for much longer but never experienced panic attacks). I got them in the really early beginning of the school year/job studying. And since then I get all about 3-6monthes such a „mood“ like I actually really want to end this job studying and do something different. The idea is always there but never extremely present (more like, I know I don’t want that job but I need the thing to have finished it so that I can study something different with it(the fact that I finished it)). But actually it messes me up. I know I never want to work in a laboratory but 99% of the jobs are lab jobs. These panic attacks and stuff are horrible. Last year at the end in November I think. I had a really bad breakdown actually I had suicide thoughts and something like a eating disorder (I think I have light depression maybe but the eating disorder was new, even tho I know u can’t label it like that when it goes away in about a week again). But it felt so strange. I know this job doesn’t make me happy and never will. It makes my mental health bad. But everytime I think of quitting I’m like „but maybe there will be a interesting thing in the second year that I want to do“ Tho and I love my friends at school :(

what did you major in?

Don’t lose hope, you can always work outside of your field or pursue a graduate degree unrelated to your undergrad major. I know someone with a bachelor’s in IT who’s in a doctoral English program!

I'm sort of having a 2AM mental breakdown rn. I'm not a US student (I'm from Turkey where you have to score really high on a national exam to get into the program you want) and I'm studying English Language Teaching. The only reason I chose it, was because my exam score was fit for that program. My dream was always to study medicine, and I'm constantly thinking about how I regret not studying harder for the exam. It's not that I despise the thought of becoming a teacher, I would enjoy it and it pays well here compared to it's working hours, however I can't pull through the courses anymore. And each passing week, I hate my program more and more. In order to switch majors, I have to re-enter the national exam, however I have to study really hard (for a year) if I want to get into medicine, which is almost impossible with having to study for the exams of my current program too. I feel like I'm going insane trying to figure things out and I don't know what to do, I try to motivate myself into loving my program but it just gets worse and worse.

I'm currently in my Junior year of college and am feeling this anxiety. I entered college as a Civil Engineering major and have been studying it, but during Covid with all my classes being online I started to fall behind and underperform in my classes. Now that we are back in person and the classes are more centered on my major, I am realizing how much I truly despise it. I feel trapped in my major since I don't know what else I want to pursue and I feel as though it is too late for me to be undeclared. I am truly STUCK. I want to get a degree in a field of interest for me but I don't know what that is and I don't know how to find out what that is. If anyone has advice for me, please leave a reply. This video was comforting though since it did remind me that I can still find a career I enjoy after college, but I'm not quite at the point in my college education yet where my degree is right around the corner so I am hoping to find a major that I enjoy before it is truly too late.

I have to go 3 more years to get out of this hole.. At least you're out of this

thank you for this <3

Woah this actually helped .

Which software do you use for editing your videos ? Thanks.

What was your major if you don’t mind me asking? I just recently graduated with my degree in English literature. I really enjoyed my major, but there’s some part of me that wishes that I studied something else. I’m currently working part-time as an ESL tutor for a local English language school, but I feel like I should be working full-time in something else for whatever reason. I live on Guam, so I feel you when it comes to lack of opportunity on my island (especially when it comes to my degree LOL). I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!! :)

When she said - "I became my own foe" I felt that... 😭

I only have two more classes left for my degree program and I feel like I want to switch but I’m freaking out feeling like I wasted all this time. This helps a lot though.

I love u

Any tips to loosen up this stress mates? 😁

My parents were major assholes in not letting change my major. Any parent with two brain cells would love for their kid to left communication sciences, right? I was only 21 when I told those morons I needed to left that major for superficial people. 💔💔💔💔 I can't wait to die.

I just found this video and it gives me lot of comfort. I'm in my first year of international relations study. IR is my own choice, I like the lesson but I just don't see myself doing IR stuff related in the next 4 years. It confuses me whether I chose the wrong major or I haven't tried hard enough. Anyway thanks for the insight!!
