I’m trying to get into law enforcement and am planning on taking a 2 year police foundations college course. Do you think this is a good time investment?
Community College is not really a bad idea to start with. Especially in California now, your first two years are free. Any grants you receive from financial aid, the smart way is to save that for transferring. My opinion, Students shouldn't be going to a college out of town if their local colleges or college nearby offers the same program. Getting a degree here or there wouldn't make any difference. Can save you lots of money.
I agree with most of what was said. One big mistake that many do is to have a Home-School-Home mentality, where you are only at school only the necessary time (to attend their classes) and immediately leave campus as if a serial killer was on the loose. Talking to counselors talking to professors and to other more senior students helps create a network that will help solidify current plans or modify them for the better. Community colleges are great as there are many professors who either have Ph.D.s or have a lot of experience in their fields, with the added benefit that they are teaching there because they care more about teaching rather than doing research (universities pay more so there is a reason why they are there). At least in California, I am sure other states have this as well, community colleges have an active agreement with the state universities (in California with the University of California and the California State University systems) this means that the first two years of a bachelors can be done at a community college and later transfer to a university (at times with priority registration) starting your junior year of your undergraduate's degree. It greatly reduces the cost and the advantage is that the extra availability of the professors, not the TAs but the actual professors, allows for time to be scheduled during their office hours and they will gladly talk about their own experiences (academic and professional) and give you important tips. I would add as another tip is to keep an open mind. Rarely, does a college student end up with a degree they had originally started, many change their majors because once you are exposed to a wider variety of courses your interests will likely change and that is okay, I personally changed my major from biology to psychology; a part of it was that I could do my psychology B.A. locally and with my research experience I am ready for grad school and for better paying jobs (compared to those with an associates degree). Schools also receive grants for student employment, rather than working in a fast food place, for example, you can start working in the school, get to know the people there. It might not seem more beneficial than working anywhere else except that, again, it helps network and more importantly with people who are the first to know of student opportunities like: grants, scholarships, internships, assisting positions, opportunities that will add value to your skillset and your resume. Lastly, I want to point out that while it is true that for some jobs you do not need a degree it still helps. Something I learned from my fellow peers in community college is that if you have an associates, a bachelors, a masters, or a Ph.D., then your pay scale increases. For example, what many of my peers would do is they would start working in law enforcement (not necessarily police officers) and they would be given opportunities to continue going to classes. For government or military jobs, they use a pay scale (GS) to determine pay, which is based in part by work experience as well as by education degree. So these people who were are working to get their bachelors in criminal justice (some already have) will get a pay increase once they have a degree and they might also qualify for a promotion; off setting the cost of their degree. It is a long comment so I will summarize it. Always keep an open mind, most likely you will change your plans and that is fine, as long as it is for the right reasons. Be involved in the school and network, this allows you to learn more about your career interests or even new about new opportunities you didn't know your were interested in. And finally, look to the school for resources, either for jobs, grants, internships, etc., they are there to help and the biggest mistake many students make is not making good use of them.
I'm in tenth grade now and still haven't chosen what i want for college, and my family always tells me "You haven't chosen yet? You should already have. There are only a few years to college." I really feel pressured, i mean -- not to brag, but i'm kinda smart but i just don't like studying much. Not genius smart, but a bit smart. And there are things i want to try or is quite interested in but i don't want it to be the only thing in my life set in stone. I mean, there are lots of things out there and you just get to choose one? I don't have a dream, a talent not worth that much and the hobbies and the things i like/good at when i search what kind of jobs or college course i can go to there isn't much or doesn't make a lot of money. I really don't know what to choose, and i really love this channel really helped me a bit but i still haven't chosen a course, when i watch the first video recommended to me by this channel i immediately smash the subscribe button.
Hey Otaku! Thanks for the sub. I think I have a video for you.. "The BEST College Majors (How to choose the Perfect Major for YOU)" th-cam.com/video/EVCw4Wf7wQw/w-d-xo.html

Community College is how I got an $80,000 degree for $20,000. Unless you're getting a full scholarship, going straight to 4 year college is pointless matter the school. Bachelor's degree from Harvard is in no way diminished if you did your first two years at a community college, except in terms of cost.
You have helped me so much, I am a freshman in Software Engineering and I have been following your advices faithfully, I love this channel and I would love more people to find it. Thank you! ❣️
Good video as always Shane! I do think there are some bonus mistakes almost all freshmen make. 1) Not asking for help. Don't be afraid to ask a question in class. There is always at least one person that has the same question. Nobody is going to make fun of you for asking questions. 2) Don't brag about high school. Just don't. You will be the most hated person in class. 3) Never buy your books untill after you go to ALL your classes. Even if the professor sends an email a week before class telling you to get the book, DON'T BUY IT! Always wait until after the first week is over to buy your books.
@Leonine Lee you're not stupid. It's a fair question. Every syllabus will say "required texts" but most of the time, it's not true. The first day of class, the professor will let you know if you actually need it or not. If they say "it's required" get the book, if they say "it's recommended" I would say skip buying it.
Point 3: you run the risk of finding the book is sold out and you have to wait until it's reprinted, or queue for a library copy. Reading the bare minimum, you may scrape through but won't get an "A."
To point 3) - if you want to get an A, find all recommended books ASAP, check them, and if you find out they can give you something, buy them, read them and keep them until you no longer need them, no matter if they are mandatory or not.
Me in college having a crisis rn because although I don't have to declare my major until the end of my Sophomore year but idk if I should go into bio and/or chem or something else and idk what to do
Same here, classes haven't even started yet and I'm thinking about shifting course already. Should have taken a year gap so I could plan things out but it's too late.
like all of us, on my college years, im procrastinate a lot playing video games and not excel my skills after study. Because portfolio/result speaks louder than a degree paper. Now im quite worthless to get a decent salary jobs. And my time are so little to re-learn because jobs are tired
I highly agree with your premise about Community College. I transferred to a university, and am appalled by the lower quality of the courses there for lower division courses. I was lucky to have a Physics II class with 30 students, there they only have one Physics II course with 600 students.
What's cool in Washington is that you can do Running Start (Jr and Sr year taking full time CC) then at UW Business school (pretty high ranking), if you have enough credits you can apply both Freshman Direct to major and standard admission to the business school, and you may only have 2 years of college left.
That was a pretty useful video because a lot of people don’t know that college does not teach you everything so you need to gain some skills by yourself
Hey Shane, I love all of your videos. I recently found you channel as I look for advice bec I'm going to my dream school at only 17, but it is out of state with a lot of debt. I like your career reverse engineering approach and would like some advice. I eventually want to work as a Product Manager for Apple, and wondering what I should minor in, what certificates I should get, and also internships. I'm majoring in Marketing, and am thinking about CS as a minor, but I'm deeply passionate about wildlife and would rather minor in that. Also, I'll get a minor in SPanish bec of my AP credits. All in all, I want a meaningful and successful career as a Product Manager. I hope u have a great day!
I agree with everything except the first one. I'm a Psychology major, just for context. My program is under the School of Science at my university, and we are taught Research and Statistical methods. Research is the core of what we are taught as Psychology majors. Along with problem-solving and critical thinking, it's not a useless major. I would argue every major is a useless degree without any of the other nine mentioned on the list (that goes for Computer Science too). It's the internships and volunteer experiences that make or break receiving your first job. College degrees are not the ticket to getting a job. They're a supplement to the real-world experience you spend time on while you're in college.
@@spencerrr9878 I got my first internship the summer before my first year in college. Different time of course but it is really all about dedication and how you carry yourself.
Be frank with the employers, let them know what your background is and what your experiences and strengths are. Create a portfolio of your previous work in the field or relating fields. Let them know you are hard working and really want to learn on the "job" but are also willing to put in the extra hours out of the internship to build your skills. Make sure that you apply to internships that are willing to work with students and help them grow a bit but also don't be afraid to apply ambitiously. The worst that can happen is that your goals and their goals don't match up so you don't get the position, then start over and try again for another position. Most positions have interviews and that is really your time to shine, to show them that you are dedicated and ready but also make it clear that you really want to learn from this experience, practice before hand and get help from others if you have to. You are bound to get some rejections, even more so in the more competitive paid positions but don't let that hold you back. My son got rejected from 20+ intern jobs back when he was in 10th grade, they wanted college students but he didn't give up and someone noticed that work ethic and dedication which is how he got his first paid full stack development intern position at a mid sized company (they did pay him a third of the other experienced interns but that was still a win in his case.) You may be young but that isn't always a bad thing, don't put yourself down or undervalue yourself and turn your young age into a plus, recruiters usually love that as long as you can walk the walk. Look where others don't when looking for internships because less competition isn't a bad thing. Last of all, in the long term, network constantly unless it is not the proper circumstance to do so. Networking in my experience gets you farther than most other things in life, people will almost always go with the option they know whether it be directly or through a connection, and you never know who someone might know so be wary to never burn the wrong bridges because they are easier burn than to build.
My advice. Get a double degree one in an area you love and the other in an area you can tolerate and it can support you financially. That’s what I’m doing as I love cognitive neuroscience but at my age I need to also accrue for my social security. So I ended combining B.A in cognitive neuroscience with BSN nursing and a minor in music. So far I’m going to be done in another 2 more years and just finished my 2 first ones. :)
This channel has helped me so much! I started studying industrial engineering this year, but have decided to drop out to pursue something else, like computer information systems. This just wasn't right for me, it was never my dream but my parents dream and also, I fucking hate maths :^)
9:00 Community Colleges. That is so true here in Sydney Australia. Community college science laboratories are better equipped than university laboratories.
i don’t agree, cheap isn’t always the best way. college is also an experience don’t b robbed bc you wanted to go the cheap route. college isn’t about getting into debt, it’s about gaining the knowledge to pay off the debt
2:30 - I absolutely lost it. 15 years ago, I would have felt so attacked and threatened xD ....! Fantastic video, Shane.. You're a leader amongst managers!
You should have put another advice: "Don't freaking be changing degrees all the time" it's even worse than anything. So many people I've seen that change degrees in college and they just want to hang around at school cause they don't have shit to do LOL
Andy Santiago i want to add that colleges often have a unit cap on how many units you can complete before you are ineligible for financial aid. The federal cap is 180 semester units for a bachelors. Switching between majors with little overlap can cause you to exceed the cap depending on how many classes you take, and be ineligible for aid.
@@hi-gf5yl definitely agree with you! I say this because I'm currently finishing a theology bachelor, which I kind of regret but the fact is that it's not the end of the world. I see a lot of my friend who changed degree and get to do nothing but waste a lot of fed money and mostly get in unnecessary loan.
I actually did shave my head but moved to Sri Lanka to become a monk. It was the best experience outside of having my kids of my life. Now going back to school to get my degree in data analytics.
Just to extend the advice to do internships to get an idea of future careers plus a foot in the door, if you are studying a laboratory science it's important to get as much research experience as you can, as an intern or research assistant, and if at all possible publish or at least present some of your work. That makes it easier to get funding for a master's degree. I don't know if it matters so much in the social sciences.
If possible, reduce your course load in your freshman year of college. Generally speaking, college is more rigorous academically than high school. Ease the transition by starting small in your freshman year of college.
#1 mistake freshman make: not going to community college. Great place to start, great way to try different classes to "find" yourself without paying out the ass prices and honestly, Calculus 1 is the same content at 2 year community school and 4 year school. Biggest difference? Community college class will cost around $800 (including books, before FASFA kicks in) and class size- 15-20 students at CC vs 100+ at 4 year school
Im 7/10, but im lucky enough to get a job even the salary are not worth my effort. But sometimes I should blame college/universities for not updating the silibus, some silibus are gimmick and should be removed
hey shane, im currently a 1st year student at college. honestly if i had to do it all over again i would have gone to lineman school and complete my degree at a community college. College is overrated people. no it wont be the "best years" of your life, no its not a once in a lifetime experience, no you dont need a degree for a high paying job. Todays new college is trade school, i can safely say 50 percent of my hs graduating class went into the trades. People were making fun of them but guess whos gonna have the last laugh? definitely not the kids in over 100 thousands of student loans with 8.9 interest rate. Seriously unless you really know what you are gonna do in the future rethink your options and make sure college is the last. I dont regret my decison becuase im studying something i love but if it wasn't for my major college would have been out the question. oh and the people that claim college is the "best years" of thier life peeked in college. its alot of work and a grind everyday. as im typing i just finished a bio exam and have two more upcoming this week. if you think i'm lying about college not being the "best years" of your life go and ask stem majors you will get a nice dose of reality. nice video shane!
Eating improperly during student life is what seriously haunts you later in life. It has a long term effect on health and, professional and family life. Cook for yourself everyday, no matter what. Do not ignore your diet. Food matters.
Paid so much just to have to go to online classes :,( . No one explained shit. Just told me to read the syllabus. Like.... I payed so much just to be told to read a syllabus and not even be helped understand things. I’m a freshman it’s not like I understand how everything works.
If you plan to go to community college and transfer to an in state university, CHECK university scholarships. Sometimes the money saved at community college is equal to the money that would have been covered by scholarships at university.
One good private college for military members or veterans is Liberty University, it's a well known private non-profit Christian university and cost of tuition is $250 a credit hour for undergraduate, $275 for graduate, and $300 for doctorate. There's some great opportunities out there, just do the research.
My problem is watching all of your helpful videos and regretting what i couldve done better in the past, rather than take action in the present and plan further ahead
Keep in mind counselors and other mental health professions are set to grow by 25. Also psychology can be a door opener for neuropharmacology ect. Of course you will have to do a masters. But that's the same. For many vulnerable people orientated professions. Would you let a doctor treat you after 4 years studying?
My daughter is doing the community college route.. Got her associates and now pursuing a medical degree. My costs for her college have been minimal. And, she impressed one of the professors who got her a job at the school in a related field, which will look great for a future hiring manager. (And I was a hiring manager for some time... I can share work history matters, more than GPA, at least in my field.)
Funnily enough, in Florida, public tuition is capped at 7k for Florida residents (UF, FSU, UCF, UNF, etc). Community and state colleges are private, and so the community college next to me has a tuition of 8k. It's actually cheaper to attend a middle ground school lol
I'm currently a junior in college. I've switched majors ump-teen million times cause everytime I find one I find out the cons of it. I've decided to go into social sciences with the hopes of going into teaching. I know it's a pyramid scheme but since I'm already volunteering at schools I really love doing that and think it's best fit for me
Here in Ontario they make us take a career class during high school. It’s supposed to make us consider a future career and how to get there. It’s success it debatable however.
Ooops! I reached 34 years and that's when I started investing. The investing apps are very recent. For example, Robinhood came out around 2017. I remember I tried investing in 2015 with E-trade, I opened an account with $200.00 but I needed $5000 to start investing. That's what I wanted to point it out. Yes, I strongly agree that High Schools should teach its students financial skills, trade skills, etc.
But what if we legit don't know what we want to do? I have an idea, but idk if it'll change. I'm pretty sure I want to do something in science, but I'm not exactly sure. I've just found that I'm bad at it. I get the material until the tests, then my mind goes blank.
This is like a nice mini-lecture! What to not do during college! Ah, if only I knew what to do for the clubs and all, I still haven't figured out where the physics and math clubs are. Darn. I have to remember who to ask, too.
Loved the video man, can you make a vid explaining easy college majors please because I’m confused with the college major I wanna choose and I’m still in high school
I’m a senior I’m highschool and I think I want to major in accounting or finance and minor in criminal justice. Which do you think is the better option between Accounting and Finance and which would be most beneficial when getting a job ??? I like to talk to people so I want that to be a part of my career as well !
I am going to disagree on the criminal justice one, most police departments now a days require either a degree or military service. All federal law enforcement requires at minimum of a bachelors. While I would agree it might be better to get something other than crj as a good fall back, many law enforcement people have criminal justice degrees. I would recommend STEM as the three letters love it however I’ve met plenty of federal agents either criminal justice degrees.
Just a question...I believe an obvious one...actually a statement...way back when...yes I'm an oldie...I wondered why the street light cast a sharp line past the power pole...then compounds and atoms...in short..I was inquisitive...by myself...I never lost the inquisitive but I did everything " around " it...trade mechanic, technical drawing and...sales...everything from drawing board to CAD...to chemistry lab...ALL..required knowledge...I did all that BOTH within and outside formal education...so...to the crux...ask yourself ..have you ever " studied yourself" ? ...what intrigued you " way back " ...sorry bout the language.. but fuck everybody else...jump in...keep interested ...take sound advice, DO MATH...read books, stay away from "esoteric" ..I amazed at the everyday geniuses out there who never wrote a word but knew language, led ..by saying not much...kindly offered their knowledge...AND...you did your (home) work and deliverd yours
M.E. here. From what I've seen, EE will be making/designing the "electronic" component in electronics. Circuit boards, etc. Take your phone apart, everything inside, that's EE, or at least a piece of it. If you enjoy working with electronics, it might be a good field for you!
Cole Dockter what do you do as an M.E im a junior in high school and im interested in E.E or Mechanical Engineering but don’t know how to choose which one
Hello G3mini kid, I am a practicing electrical engineer so I think I can help answer your question! Electrical Engineers can do a lot of things, however, what I specialize in is analog and digital electronics design. I design high level system block diagrams, design schematics with the said analog and digital electronics, and then layout PCBs. I also program software and firmware often for my own PCBs I design. I actually have two Bachelor degrees, one in Electrical Engineering and one in Computer Engineering. Currently pursuing my Master’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering as I work full time! Being interdisciplinary, with it being either software, hardware, or even mechanical engineering, is a huge resume booster! To answer your second question, most of the time your Bachelor’s degree will read as a generic, “Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering”. Try to get this degree as it gives you an overview of the majority of the discipline and opens many doors. If you are in the USA, ENSURE the degree is ABET accredited. Reach out if you have anymore questions! If anyone else does, just comment below. 😁
I’m a first year majoring in biochemistry and I really don’t know what to do with my life I want to add computer science as my minor but I’m scared it’s going to be too hard but I like computer science
Could you make a video about your major? And would you pick another if you could go back to those day when you chose it? (Not sure you did it, correct me if i'm wrong.😅)
I might make one in the future Aida. But maybe you'll find this video helpful. So I'll leave it here. The BEST College Majors (How to choose the Perfect Major for YOU) th-cam.com/video/EVCw4Wf7wQw/w-d-xo.html

Community College is not really a bad idea to start with. Especially in California now, your first two years are free. Any grants you receive from financial aid, the smart way is to save that for transferring. My opinion, Students shouldn't be going to a college out of town if their local colleges or college nearby offers the same program. Getting a degree here or there wouldn't make any difference. Can save you lots of money.
I agree Kee.. Thanks for watching man!

Community College is how I got an $80,000 degree for $20,000.
Unless you're getting a full scholarship, going straight to 4 year college is pointless matter the school. Bachelor's degree from Harvard is in no way diminished if you did your first two years at a community college, except in terms of cost.
You have helped me so much, I am a freshman in Software Engineering and I have been following your advices faithfully, I love this channel and I would love more people to find it. Thank you! ❣️
Happy to help! Thanks for leaving such a lovely comment to read Gabrielle
Good video as always Shane! I do think there are some bonus mistakes almost all freshmen make.
1) Not asking for help. Don't be afraid to ask a question in class. There is always at least one person that has the same question. Nobody is going to make fun of you for asking questions.
2) Don't brag about high school. Just don't. You will be the most hated person in class.
3) Never buy your books untill after you go to ALL your classes. Even if the professor sends an email a week before class telling you to get the book, DON'T BUY IT! Always wait until after the first week is over to buy your books.
That's a good input Aswin. Thanks for adding that
@Leonine Lee you're not stupid. It's a fair question. Every syllabus will say "required texts" but most of the time, it's not true. The first day of class, the professor will let you know if you actually need it or not. If they say "it's required" get the book, if they say "it's recommended" I would say skip buying it.
Point 3: you run the risk of finding the book is sold out and you have to wait until it's reprinted, or queue for a library copy. Reading the bare minimum, you may scrape through but won't get an "A."
To point 3) - if you want to get an A, find all recommended books ASAP, check them, and if you find out they can give you something, buy them, read them and keep them until you no longer need them, no matter if they are mandatory or not.
This is the most realistic & honest “college mistake” video 🙌
Thanks
Me in grade 9 already worrying about the mistakes I'll make in 4 yrs time: 👁️👄👁️ 💀
But thanks for all the tips in your vids. They're veryy helpful
Good to know you're planning ahead Lee. Good luck!
Same 😂❤️!
Please listen to him!! Lol
Me in college having a crisis rn because although I don't have to declare my major until the end of my Sophomore year but idk if I should go into bio and/or chem or something else and idk what to do
I'm a college freshman and, I already made my 1st mistake and, that is doing the bare minimum with my free time.
Thanks for watching Eduardo
Same here
It’s tough this year because of covid. I’m hoping it will be easier to join/ get involved w stuff in the spring
Same here, classes haven't even started yet and I'm thinking about shifting course already. Should have taken a year gap so I could plan things out but it's too late.
like all of us, on my college years, im procrastinate a lot playing video games and not excel my skills after study. Because portfolio/result speaks louder than a degree paper.
Now im quite worthless to get a decent salary jobs. And my time are so little to re-learn because jobs are tired
I highly agree with your premise about Community College. I transferred to a university, and am appalled by the lower quality of the courses there for lower division courses. I was lucky to have a Physics II class with 30 students, there they only have one Physics II course with 600 students.
Thanks for sharing that Joseph. Glad we're on the same page
Yeah it’s so helpful to be in smaller classes
I’m a college freshman and this video came out at the perfect time! I’m thinking of majoring in Computer Information Systems
Good choice Katelyn. 👌
What's cool in Washington is that you can do Running Start (Jr and Sr year taking full time CC) then at UW Business school (pretty high ranking), if you have enough credits you can apply both Freshman Direct to major and standard admission to the business school, and you may only have 2 years of college left.
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing that
I love UW it’s a beautiful school
Go Dawgs. I miss campus though
Also they just made a change to their admission. They no longer accept Ap Credits to satisfy the English composition requirement.
CEO of “you don’t want spend 4 years going $40,000 in debt to get a useless degree”
😂
That was a pretty useful video because a lot of people don’t know that college does not teach you everything
so you need to gain some skills by yourself
True
Hey Shane, I love all of your videos. I recently found you channel as I look for advice bec I'm going to my dream school at only 17, but it is out of state with a lot of debt. I like your career reverse engineering approach and would like some advice. I eventually want to work as a Product Manager for Apple, and wondering what I should minor in, what certificates I should get, and also internships. I'm majoring in Marketing, and am thinking about CS as a minor, but I'm deeply passionate about wildlife and would rather minor in that. Also, I'll get a minor in SPanish bec of my AP credits. All in all, I want a meaningful and successful career as a Product Manager. I hope u have a great day!
Haha I literally just had a breakdown earlier today realizing that going away to my four year college was a mistake
Just plan it out Isabella. You got this
this channel saved me from going into medical... I hate medical
I changed my mind on that too...thankfully
Good luck in everything Emaan
Good for You, enjoy your life. It's late for me but i'm happy for you
@Hassan Gamal I chose economics
@Shane Hummus - The Success GPS Thx!
I agree with everything except the first one. I'm a Psychology major, just for context. My program is under the School of Science at my university, and we are taught Research and Statistical methods. Research is the core of what we are taught as Psychology majors. Along with problem-solving and critical thinking, it's not a useless major. I would argue every major is a useless degree without any of the other nine mentioned on the list (that goes for Computer Science too). It's the internships and volunteer experiences that make or break receiving your first job. College degrees are not the ticket to getting a job. They're a supplement to the real-world experience you spend time on while you're in college.
How would a freshman in college get internships if most businesses want juniors or seniors
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Ronald
Career fairs!! Go every year :)
If you want an internship before your summer between junior and senior year you need to be a prodigy and/or already have had prior internships
@@spencerrr9878 I got my first internship the summer before my first year in college. Different time of course but it is really all about dedication and how you carry yourself.
Be frank with the employers, let them know what your background is and what your experiences and strengths are. Create a portfolio of your previous work in the field or relating fields. Let them know you are hard working and really want to learn on the "job" but are also willing to put in the extra hours out of the internship to build your skills. Make sure that you apply to internships that are willing to work with students and help them grow a bit but also don't be afraid to apply ambitiously. The worst that can happen is that your goals and their goals don't match up so you don't get the position, then start over and try again for another position. Most positions have interviews and that is really your time to shine, to show them that you are dedicated and ready but also make it clear that you really want to learn from this experience, practice before hand and get help from others if you have to. You are bound to get some rejections, even more so in the more competitive paid positions but don't let that hold you back. My son got rejected from 20+ intern jobs back when he was in 10th grade, they wanted college students but he didn't give up and someone noticed that work ethic and dedication which is how he got his first paid full stack development intern position at a mid sized company (they did pay him a third of the other experienced interns but that was still a win in his case.) You may be young but that isn't always a bad thing, don't put yourself down or undervalue yourself and turn your young age into a plus, recruiters usually love that as long as you can walk the walk. Look where others don't when looking for internships because less competition isn't a bad thing. Last of all, in the long term, network constantly unless it is not the proper circumstance to do so. Networking in my experience gets you farther than most other things in life, people will almost always go with the option they know whether it be directly or through a connection, and you never know who someone might know so be wary to never burn the wrong bridges because they are easier burn than to build.
My advice. Get a double degree one in an area you love and the other in an area you can tolerate and it can support you financially. That’s what I’m doing as I love cognitive neuroscience but at my age I need to also accrue for my social security. So I ended combining B.A in cognitive neuroscience with BSN nursing and a minor in music. So far I’m going to be done in another 2 more years and just finished my 2 first ones. :)
That sounds like a lot! How are you doing with your studies so far?
This channel has helped me so much! I started studying industrial engineering this year, but have decided to drop out to pursue something else, like computer information systems. This just wasn't right for me, it was never my dream but my parents dream and also, I fucking hate maths :^)
9:00 Community Colleges. That is so true here in Sydney Australia. Community college science laboratories are better equipped than university laboratories.
i don’t agree, cheap isn’t always the best way. college is also an experience don’t b robbed bc you wanted to go the cheap route. college isn’t about getting into debt, it’s about gaining the knowledge to pay off the debt
2:30 - I absolutely lost it. 15 years ago, I would have felt so attacked and threatened xD ....!
Fantastic video, Shane.. You're a leader amongst managers!
You should have put another advice: "Don't freaking be changing degrees all the time" it's even worse than anything. So many people I've seen that change degrees in college and they just want to hang around at school cause they don't have shit to do LOL
Andy Santiago i want to add that colleges often have a unit cap on how many units you can complete before you are ineligible for financial aid. The federal cap is 180 semester units for a bachelors. Switching between majors with little overlap can cause you to exceed the cap depending on how many classes you take, and be ineligible for aid.
@@hi-gf5yl definitely agree with you! I say this because I'm currently finishing a theology bachelor, which I kind of regret but the fact is that it's not the end of the world. I see a lot of my friend who changed degree and get to do nothing but waste a lot of fed money and mostly get in unnecessary loan.
Right Andy
@@andres5653 Getting a theology degree isn't the end of the world; just don't get an eschatology degree.
I actually did shave my head but moved to Sri Lanka to become a monk. It was the best experience outside of having my kids of my life. Now going back to school to get my degree in data analytics.
This is going to be a real useful video. One that should go viral
Thanks Paulo
Just to extend the advice to do internships to get an idea of future careers plus a foot in the door, if you are studying a laboratory science it's important to get as much research experience as you can, as an intern or research assistant, and if at all possible publish or at least present some of your work. That makes it easier to get funding for a master's degree. I don't know if it matters so much in the social sciences.
If possible, reduce your course load in your freshman year of college. Generally speaking, college is more rigorous academically than high school. Ease the transition by starting small in your freshman year of college.
Can you make a video about forensic science or the forensic field in general I'm very interested in it but nobody really talks about it
Noted Ayah
#1 mistake freshman make: not going to community college. Great place to start, great way to try different classes to "find" yourself without paying out the ass prices and honestly, Calculus 1 is the same content at 2 year community school and 4 year school. Biggest difference? Community college class will cost around $800 (including books, before FASFA kicks in) and class size- 15-20 students at CC vs 100+ at 4 year school
Thanks for adding that
Im 7/10, but im lucky enough to get a job even the salary are not worth my effort. But sometimes I should blame college/universities for not updating the silibus, some silibus are gimmick and should be removed
Right
hey shane, im currently a 1st year student at college. honestly if i had to do it all over again i would have gone to lineman school and complete my degree at a community college. College is overrated people. no it wont be the "best years" of your life, no its not a once in a lifetime experience, no you dont need a degree for a high paying job. Todays new college is trade school, i can safely say 50 percent of my hs graduating class went into the trades. People were making fun of them but guess whos gonna have the last laugh? definitely not the kids in over 100 thousands of student loans with 8.9 interest rate. Seriously unless you really know what you are gonna do in the future rethink your options and make sure college is the last. I dont regret my decison becuase im studying something i love but if it wasn't for my major college would have been out the question. oh and the people that claim college is the "best years" of thier life peeked in college. its alot of work and a grind everyday. as im typing i just finished a bio exam and have two more upcoming this week. if you think i'm lying about college not being the "best years" of your life go and ask stem majors you will get a nice dose of reality. nice video shane!
Good point Bill.. Thanks for sharing your insights
Eating improperly during student life is what seriously haunts you later in life. It has a long term effect on health and, professional and family life. Cook for yourself everyday, no matter what. Do not ignore your diet. Food matters.
Right
I'm just wondering on your view on going to college during the pandemic, especially when being a freshmen (everything feels off)
Paid so much just to have to go to online classes :,( . No one explained shit. Just told me to read the syllabus. Like.... I payed so much just to be told to read a syllabus and not even be helped understand things. I’m a freshman it’s not like I understand how everything works.
Stay tuned
Hey Shane, love your videos! Could you make a video answering the questions about how much grades REALLY matter?
I might have another Q&A. Stay tuned

If you plan to go to community college and transfer to an in state university, CHECK university scholarships. Sometimes the money saved at community college is equal to the money that would have been covered by scholarships at university.
Thanks for adding that
One good private college for military members or veterans is Liberty University, it's a well known private non-profit Christian university and cost of tuition is $250 a credit hour for undergraduate, $275 for graduate, and $300 for doctorate. There's some great opportunities out there, just do the research.
My problem is watching all of your helpful videos and regretting what i couldve done better in the past, rather than take action in the present and plan further ahead
You got this. Good luck!
Keep in mind counselors and other mental health professions are set to grow by 25. Also psychology can be a door opener for neuropharmacology ect.
Of course you will have to do a masters. But that's the same. For many vulnerable people orientated professions. Would you let a doctor treat you after 4 years studying?

My daughter is doing the community college route.. Got her associates and now pursuing a medical degree. My costs for her college have been minimal. And, she impressed one of the professors who got her a job at the school in a related field, which will look great for a future hiring manager. (And I was a hiring manager for some time... I can share work history matters, more than GPA, at least in my field.)
Wishing your daughter the best in her career
Love this video, maybe make videos for each grade, videos on college kids doing internships.
Noted.. That's a good idea
Funnily enough, in Florida, public tuition is capped at 7k for Florida residents (UF, FSU, UCF, UNF, etc). Community and state colleges are private, and so the community college next to me has a tuition of 8k. It's actually cheaper to attend a middle ground school lol

Ooops! I reached 34 years and that's when I started investing. The investing apps are very recent. For example, Robinhood came out around 2017. I remember I tried investing in 2015 with E-trade, I opened an account with $200.00 but I needed $5000 to start investing. That's what I wanted to point it out. Yes, I strongly agree that High Schools should teach its students financial skills, trade skills, etc.

This is a lot to ask from an 18 year old. Community college is so underrated 🤨
But what if we legit don't know what we want to do? I have an idea, but idk if it'll change. I'm pretty sure I want to do something in science, but I'm not exactly sure. I've just found that I'm bad at it. I get the material until the tests, then my mind goes blank.

I am going to disagree on the criminal justice one, most police departments now a days require either a degree or military service. All federal law enforcement requires at minimum of a bachelors. While I would agree it might be better to get something other than crj as a good fall back, many law enforcement people have criminal justice degrees. I would recommend STEM as the three letters love it however I’ve met plenty of federal agents either criminal justice degrees.
I respect your opinion on this Jake. Cheers!

What do Electrical engineers actually do & are how do o knw which type of Electrical engineering i shld go for??
I might discuss that so stay tuned
M.E. here. From what I've seen, EE will be making/designing the "electronic" component in electronics. Circuit boards, etc. Take your phone apart, everything inside, that's EE, or at least a piece of it. If you enjoy working with electronics, it might be a good field for you!
Cole Dockter what do you do as an M.E im a junior in high school and im interested in E.E or Mechanical Engineering but don’t know how to choose which one
Hello G3mini kid,
I am a practicing electrical engineer so I think I can help answer your question! Electrical Engineers can do a lot of things, however, what I specialize in is analog and digital electronics design. I design high level system block diagrams, design schematics with the said analog and digital electronics, and then layout PCBs. I also program software and firmware often for my own PCBs I design. I actually have two Bachelor degrees, one in Electrical Engineering and one in Computer Engineering. Currently pursuing my Master’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering as I work full time! Being interdisciplinary, with it being either software, hardware, or even mechanical engineering, is a huge resume booster!
To answer your second question, most of the time your Bachelor’s degree will read as a generic, “Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering”. Try to get this degree as it gives you an overview of the majority of the discipline and opens many doors. If you are in the USA, ENSURE the degree is ABET accredited. Reach out if you have anymore questions! If anyone else does, just comment below. 😁
