    As a 31yr old, I believe the best advice would be to follow your passion and be very cautious with the propaganda and traps planted in your head all your life. Military, college, car loans, moving out, be very careful with this things.

      What do you fuel that passion with and what happens when there is nothing of that left?

    As a Latino that moved out 3 years ago to the us, I can say that I made a couple of mistakes, first one was to give me time off from school, went i moved out over here to the us, I had to start over to go to college, and college was way more expensive than over back in Honduras, especially if you recently moved out to the us, so I decided to wait a year until the charge me the regular price and I had some money saved up, then covid hit, and schools were making it hard to make me go back it, I didn't have any knowledge about how school worked. Second mistake was eating, back in Honduras I would eat all my food and I will be fine, and they teach you not to waste any of your food, so I would eat a lot with no problem, when I moved over to the US, I eated they same way I used to, and I gained 40 pounds, turned out, food over here is way more processed, and it's cheaper to eat junk food. My third mistake was not getting ready for the future, back in Honduras, minimum wage was 400 dólars, so coming over here to the us and making more money, make me feel like I was rich and had my future secured, it turns out I'm really poor, and that even though I got everything I couldn't afford, it's impossible with an income like that. But thankfully now I'm doing better, I'm going to school, I'm buying my first house soon, I lost 47 pounds, and I'm trying to start a business soon. It definitely made me feel better, and even though I don't really like what I'm studying, I'm trying to find out really what I like, and make money from it, school makes you feel like life is linear but the reality is that you gotta find and try everything you can. It's okay to give up or fail sometimes, just remember to always get up! 👌🏻

    Good advise, from a 77 year old, born in London during WWII, parents and I then
    immigrated to the US when I was about
    to start school, they first had a clothing
    store. then other work. I was a good student,
    graduated from college and served as
    an Officer in the USAF in the late 1960's
    until early 1970's, and went through all
    that life throws at you and took care of
    my parents later in their lives, 20 and 30
    years ago. Very tough to see them die,
    as we're close in our lives.

    I am currently 26. I started college at 18, but I decided to go part time in order to keep my stress level down. As a result, I am still not graduated yet even though our society pushes this idea of graduating college at 22. I also still don't really know what I want to do career wise, but I am hoping I will figure that out eventually. While I am still currently taking classes, I am three classes away from my bachelor's which is good. I'm also not very good about taking care of my health. I did find this to be some good advice though.

    I'm 23, and have statistically spent at least 10% of my life, including sleep, on the steam platform playing games. This amounts to over 20,000 hours of playtime and I have vowed to never regret it. It was valuable escapism that helped me stay away from self-harm and harder drugs over the course of an abusive and traumatic life. I am only just now beginning to get my life straight, and now that I don't have to play games to cope, I don't really want to! Just follow your heart and listen to your head and things will work out in the end.

    My life in a nutshell:
    - Grew up abroad from kindergarten to 4th High School. *(All-boys school from 6th grade to 4th Year High School)*
    - Grew up non-productive, lazy, and didn't take education too seriously and not too seriously at the same time.
    - Dad has a second family that forces me to choose which parent to be with.
    - Felt like my entire brain and confidence just reset back to level 1 when I and my mom had to go back home to the Philippines.
    - I choose computer college instead of a job for 2 years but felt like it was a huge financial and emotional regret.
    - Took a position as an OJT in City Hall, but instead of asking for a real job, I pussied out on the last day.
    - My mom compared me to my 3 older brothers who have a job and families but not one of them getting into college.
    - I wanted to speak out to my mother about growing depression but I can't due to having a mindset of a servant.
    - Feel like any more forceful advice is going to hurt my head even more.
    - I wish I could be like the struggling determined kids here in the Philippines from day one, but it felt like it was too late.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, obviously there's no shame in just doing something for the sake of having fun, but don't tell yourself that it's productive and gonna get you a job or something cuz it wont for 99.9% of people. It takes crazy amounts of hard work and luck to make it playing video games for a living.

    I'm nearing 20 years old and graduated in 2020, I've been working minimum wage and recently got a second job and I make about 1,800 a month (Tx panhandle). And to top it off, I got diagnosed with diabetes last year, its been really hard since the car I have is always failing on something as its really old, and working customer service is just the worst, especially working every day abt 8-10 hours sometimes I feel like I just can't do it or just give up but I just suppress all of it and just constantly repeat myself "It's part of the grind" Eventually all the hard work will pay off, I hope things start to look up for me soon. :)
    Thankfully I dont pay for bills yet since I still live with my parents which has greatly contributed to saving my money, I'm currently saving for a new car that I really love which is a Mazda 3 hatch, after paying most of the car I'm planning to go to college, I don't know what I want to study but recently culinary arts has been interesting me a lot. As for the meantime, I have been trying to enjoy life by playing some Forza to relax and working out right when I get out of work, it really helps to distress a lot my mind and getting to think what to do in the future.
    This might sound generic, but don't give up, every journey ends at some point :)

    Great video, honestly. I'm happy I'm seeing this right now, given I'm a 18 year old in college.
    And to all you high school students worrying about graduation, I don't blame you. When I graduated high school, I had the same thoughts "I'm not ready to be an adult yet." and that is okay, most people have those feelings, and I won't lie to you, it is scary. Most people do not know what they wanna do during that age, including myself. I've already switched my major in college, which was Enology and Viticulture, to Agribusiness, mainly because I realized I didn't like chemistry. Something I didn't realize until I tried it. Luckily, I'm blessed with parents who want me to grow up by taking my time, while not slaking off, and are letting me stay with them as I continue to try other stuff like fixing my health, being more organized, figure out careers, and... learning now to throw my luck up in the air.
    (Btw, if you're curious on how I choose agriculture related majors, I live in a very agriculture based region of the United States, and it has been a family passion I guess. But I actually have a passion in agriculture, so don't just pick a major because other people tell you too.)

    This is an excellent video to watch if you're just starting out.
    There are few things in this video that should be noted as well, don't focus on what others are doing and learn to love who you are. Very very important.
    You'll never feel good enough and content with yourself without doing those two things. I used to be so preoccupied with why everyone is ahead of me and why I struggled in college.
    I eventually stopped focusing on others and loved who I am, I was able to finish college last year (after 7 years) and was able to buy a house, pay off my car, and land a real job using my degree by 25! Things can turn around quickly once you take your eyes off of others.

    I agree with this video, and being honest....you don't become a real adult until like your mid to late 20s and when you have to start paying bills on your own income (no scholarships, stipends, loans, etc. to help you out). A lot of people change when bills come due.....or stay in school/with parents to avoid that reality.

  • @EmilyS-gk3st

    I can see the wisdom in what is said on how to avoid that final mistake. In fact, I saw the light on the taking care of your body now a few years ago when I was 19.
    My dad has congestive heart failure, and I've seen what it does to him. And it's elsewhere in his family, too. I had unhealthy habits of eating too much and exercising too little, and not only was I beginning to hate myself because of my overweight appearance, but I recognized that if I kept this up, it could be too late to change down the road. I've heard too many stories where people went down a similar path thinking they would be fine because they're young, they'd take care of themselves later, and then found it was a lot harder to bounce back from unhealthy habits because youth was no longer on their side.
    I decided to learn from all that and started to exercise more and make sure I'm not eating more than the energy I'm outputting. As a result, 2 1/2 years later I'm only 4 lbs overweight according to BMI rather than the 37 lbs overweight according to BMI that I was when I started and eating a lot less saturated fat. I'm hoping that this preventative measure will help me avoid congestive heart failure later on down the line.
    The exercise also doesn't have to be too intensive. I lost a lot of that weight by simply walking or pacing nearly every day for an extended period of time.
    And if better health down the road isn't a good enough motivation to take good care of yourself and you're religious, our bodies are a precious gift from God. Isn't it our responsibility to take as good care of that gift as we can?

    I grew up in a very abusive household where my mom never protected me so I moved out (ran away)when I was 15 years old and did miscellaneous jobs like sweeping parking lots to get by and was on and off homeless for 4 years. At least I got my GED and now I've had housing for about 7 years. My mom hates that I'm not a super achiever but she never sent me up for a life to achieve anyways.

    My dad pressured me into going to college right after high school. He kept saying "You need to go to college!" "I don't even know what I want to do" "You still need to go!!!!". What parents fail to grasp is 40 years ago a college degree meant a good job. Now you can have a 4 year degree and still be unemployed. It all depends on what you got a degree in. Going in blind is a terrible idea. I took some random classes for a semester then one day I was stopped for a school bus and a dodge neon doing 70 drove into me. I was perfectly fine after the accident but it totaled my car. A old muscle car I restored. Needless to say I was depressed. Then one day going to class I asked myself "Why the #@$% am I doing this?" and I quit. Even if that car crash hadn't happened I'm convinced the outcome would have been the same. Forcing a kid to go to college without a goal in mind is just a waste of money. Ive tried going back numerous times but it's either ends the same or real life gets in the way. Now in my current job I need education to actually progress so I actually want to go back to class. That's the way it should be. It doesn't matter if it's good for your kids or not. Forcing them to do something they don't want, they will only put in minimal effort.

  • @Verelkia
    @Verelkia 2 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    There is something I noticed this video does not bring up, so I will. If you're choosing a college, please actually look into it, and consider a lot of possibilities. It is not just the education, but also the environment, opportunity, and support. If you can't handle being away from your family much, please choose a good college in your region. Don't just choose a college because of a scholarship or something like that. It is very hard to make friends in college, because you basically have only one class with those people, and rarely ever again. Plus everyone is kinda in their own bubble. I haven't figured it all out, but its very different from high school, believe me.
    I actually have a true story about that, involving a friend of mine. I live in Pacific states of the United States, and my closet friend in high school decided to go a college all way in New York, mainly because he was offered a bigger scholarship. He's been there for a semester and half and... he's coming back this coming week. The main reason he is is because of home sickness and no one to be with really. Has issues with his roommates, all his family lives in the pacific states or Mexico, and it has effected his time at college drastically. Please do not make the same mistake.

    As a non-American (a Kiwi), I never went to university. Left college (US High School equivalent) half-way through my last year at 17.
    Knew uni wasn't for me. First job in a supermarket (chilled/frozen goods dept for three years). Then changed career path to early childhood teacher. That lasted about two years.
    Age 25 switched again to real estate agent (where I met my now wife of 13 years). Two years there before we both switched again. This time to a home reno/restoration business, where we have been since.
    Not everyone is meant to / should go to university.
    It's been a blast, I'll say that. We've had a couple of clients look down on us for not doing tertiary education, but they change their tone when they see end results. Sometimes.

Moral of the story everything you go though helps guide you to where your supposed to be. And most people don’t know what they want out of life at 18,28,38 it doesn’t matter your age; life is about the journey not the destination. Don’t hyper focus on some weird definition of success or comparing yourself to your peers. have a mind that believes in abundance, confidence and good faith in your heart and you shall not fail young one. 🙏🏿

    24 here graduated last year.
    A college degree at the end of the day is something nice to put on your CV / Resume, graduating from college with a Higher Cert in IT.
    And i got a job while my mates with full degrees didn’t most of it is Persistence & Luck once you get that foot in the door your grand. What id say is go for junior positions and work your way up the chain if they say your over qualified move on, if you get multiple interviews lined up increases your chances.
    Typically interviewers will just say if they do or don't want you, if feel nothing after an interviews then probably didn't work out.
    No one aces an interview and those that "do" are up there own hole, most employers need you because they need bodies.
    A good sign is if they’re training you up because thats usually a sign they wanna keep you so learn as much as possible.
    TL;DR employers want experience and not training, go to level 1 positions so they can give you the training while being paid.
