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

what is your degree;;;;
Word of advice to new college students looking to go into stem.....
The sad truth is that there is always going to be someone out there with a higher GPA and or more experience. You might say right now “Im gonna do CS” and or engineering etc......but you should go into college with a much more open mind, i promise you, your interests are subject to change once you start taking intro classes and major classes. Engineering and CS has a 60%+ drop out rate for a reason and you need to find a way to make yourself special and the time to do it is immediately once you enter college. Its too late after your junior/senior year to make yourself look amazing, you wont stand out more than the next guy/girl. Just always think ahead of your classmates, and also consider that your classmates are your competition once you hit the workforce.
Lastly, i just graduated from Penn State with an engineering degree and let me just say, data sciences and analytics is becoming an extremely hot field with high pay. But its hard and youd have to enjoy it, on my list of best degrees, thatd take #1. Good luck to all.
Stephen Crawford I agree! speaking as a Data analytics major!
Andrew Turner good for you man, a major i wish i woulda considered but im not regretting it. Good luck!
Shane Hummus - The Success GPS I have a question what about a Psychiatrist? I am currently a student in Philadelphia as a photography major my second degree I want is in psychiatry to be a psychiatrist to children and teenagers.
College in Ireland is 3k per year. In Poland its free if you're Polish. In the Netherlands 2k. USA 100k.
This statement says a lot.
Yupp! Used to be a great opportunity but now it's a trap unless you pick the right degree!
Netherlands Universities are from £12000 for international and non-EU student's
@@silvian.4040 I live in Ireland so it's 2k for me. Actually it's free for me and I get an extra 3k from grans per year.
@@wubbalubbadubdub7306 because Ireland's education is literally free. But Dutch Universities are not. I actually find French and Italian Government Schools more affordable for international students, ranging between 2-6k. But Netherlands University, mostly accept degree from SA ,Egypt and I think Morroco or some other African Country. The rest are considered as 2 year diplomas. The information on the sites is overwhelming and I would choose, Poland, Scotland or Ireland because of those factors. Or better yet,just go to Germany or Norway.
@@silvian.4040 Every country in the EU has free college basically for people inside the EU. Even Switzerland and other EU associates. These are the public schools. The private schools are a way different story.
Well I am in my 40"s and going to school for anesthesiologists... my kids are grown and married....I am going to fulfill my dreams
You’re an inspiration, never give up on your dreams no matter the age!
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 you deserve this.
I am also in my 40's going to school for Computers Science...I have 3 children;2 are adults and one one is a year away from graduating...thanks for posting your comment because it has helped to keep me motivated- this is not easy.
@Ed Thanks!😊
Amen, 31 and going back for computer science.
About the billionaire college dropouts .. it helps that they are GENIUSES
it's not just about being a genius, it's about taking advantage of opportunities. Majority of successful business people don't turn out to be geniuses, but they all are proactive in taking opportunities when they see them.
aperkins07 ...but are the majority of business owners billionaires?
@@famousace4652 no, but I don't think being a genius matters. There are billionaires with no college education so should we say they're geniuses, too? Regardless of what traits or talents they all hold in common, I think we can all agree none of us are going to become billionaires so they should be looked at as general success and not because they're billionaires which I would think most people this video is arguing against does. I mean it'd be silly for anyone to strive to be a billionaire and completely skip the first hurdle which would be to become a millionaire.
true
aperkins07 I mean with that mentality no you will never be a billionaire. Settling and accepting mediocre is why you won’t get anywhere lol
I think the most overrated advices to college students is “pursue a degree in something you like.” Instead, we should tell all college students to “pursue something you’re good at, and you can use the income you made from your degree to do something you like.” If you like art, and you are really good at graphic design, don’t major in Art, major in Graphic Design instead because it’s more lucrative. Let’s face it, the thing we like to do isn’t always going to generate income! If you like Art, and you pursued a degree in Art, you might not even make enough money to sustain your own passion in Art!
i wish i was told this like 5 years ago 😭😭
This 100%. I feel like we really want our hobbies to convert into a paying job, but that's almost never the case. Instead, we have to realize what skills our hobbies entail and how they apply to a real life career.
Fair advice
not to mention that relying on doing what you love to garner income actually turns something fun into something STRESSFUL!! its not worth it at all!!
@@celestestrange6189
Yeah. So many people I know have lost their passion in art and music after pursing a career out of it.
I envy those who are born with a natural affinity/interest for currently lucrative skillsets. As someone who loves the humanities, I am essentially forced to choose between making money or doing something I actually enjoy.
Keep a balance between passion and practicality. Good luck with everything =)
Hey, deal drugs for a few hours per day then just go to your day job at humanities.
@@IreFang Did that in highschool, almost got caught, don't want to do it again, haha.
Law is a good career path in the humanities
Your username contrasts that very well haha.
I regret dropping out of university I would have graduated in 2008 with a computer science degree. I had a full ride back then. Depression is a hard thing to overcome especially back in college.
Sorry to hear about your depression Va Mu. Any thoughts of going back to uni?
@@ShaneHummus Yes, but its going to be harder to get funding this time around but I'm planning to finish it. Might as well.
I almost dropped out as well because of my depression. It made me doubt myself so many times. But I feel like if you want to succeed you will. You got this bro!
Good luck Va Mu! We're rooting for you!
I dropped out of college twice. It sucks. Everyone thinks I was too lazy or distracted but I wasn’t taking care of my mental health and when I do, it’s too late. But thinking about going back soon
I hate the fact that there are so many things I’m passionate about but there aren’t any practical jobs for it so I have to pick something practical instead of something I actually want to do for the rest of my life. :/
Maybe you are a "SCANNER". Take a look at youtube about it, specially the Barbara Sher work "Refuse to Choose". Good look!
me too. I wanna major in English because I'm so passionate about writing but it's really difficult to get a decent living from that. :(
Emma Poorman lawyer
Advice I saw on another video: pick a career that funds your hobby, not a hobby that funds your career. I love theatre, but I also have an netted ton science. I plan on doing something in science so I can do theatre for fun on the side (ideally). Hope that helps!
Good luck
I’m 14 and honestly hella scared about my future. I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about how they chose a degree they’re passionate about, but can’t find any jobs and in massive debt. Then there are people who pick degrees that are in demand but they don’t enjoy and end up depressed from all the work they hate and still in debt.
I’m just scared I’ll make the wrong choice when I grow older and regret my decision.
Just plan it out.. Know what you need to avoid.. Good luck
Man chill the fuck out. hahah you are 14
Raskolnikov time flies though. Before you know it he will be about to graduate college and have to figure out what to do. Of course, he shouldn’t be thinking of his future with worry, but instead planning it out
You got years to figure yourself out. Go out there more, try something new.
Don‘t worry that much. Why? Because you‘re only 14, and by the time you‘re 18 you‘ll probably have not only thought about a crapton of things that actually interest you (because you’ll be advancing through highschool and you’ll be exposed to new knowledge that actually makes you see how many interesting things you can do) but also have switched between your sup
osed “dream career” 2 or 3 times. When I was 10 I wanted to be a Palaeontologist, when I was 15 I wanted to be a civil engineer and now I am 20 and I’m in my second year of electronics engineering. You’ll find something interesting, don’t worry about it. Time is the best teacher.
Cons of engineering : you have to schedule your mental breakdowns because your professor wont let you cry with the shitton of work you have to get done
i want to pursue electrical engineering but am starting to get nervous seeing all the pple saying its really hard 😖
Rozzy Waweru don’t listen to them. Study hard in those couple years of college and you’ll be rewarded with a very satisfying and a financially-stable life in the future
@@Omar-bx5wq thanks 🙏 really appreciate it
indeed
@@Omar-bx5wq study ahead trust me. Email the professor about the syllabus and chapters you need to study before the semester starts
I know more people that say they wish they would have gone to college, than wish they didn’t.
That's true Alec
@Dritschler Media
Exactly.

Amna Tanveer lying to yourself isn’t good
@@TheAmna_Penguin what your business?
Shane: "Not a lot of people persue engineering!!"
Meanwhile in INDIA half of the population is having an engeneering degree with no job😂😂....and they end up teaching in school..
Oh my god, exactly my thoughts!
The population is also another factor
@@ShaneHummus its not the population .. Its just that almost every college gives you an engineering degree , yet only the degrees offered by top colleges such as IITs are valuable ... The rest of the degrees from different colleges aren't worth anything unless you're some miraculous genius or something
And the BSc and MSc students ? They too end up doing something else ... Only 2 out of 10 MSc students would actually do research 😓
@@justfloating9787 and what about commerce graduates lol?
Atleast some engineers are doing really good, most commerce graduates will get slaughtered
I’m a nurse and absolutely love it. Find a specialty you enjoy, a hospital that values you, and great coworkers. I may not be making 6 figures but I’m able to support myself. Enjoying your job is priceless!
Agreed
But how hard was nursing school ?
Tess Tickles not sure what to compare it to for you but it definitely requires studying, understanding information, and learning how to critically think. I became a CNA before becoming a nurse, that takes a month to become and if you still want to be a nurse after that, GO FOR IT. you can do it with hard work and having a relationship with the faculty, they root for you.
Ellie Day I’ve wanted to be a nurse for years and I’m a senior this year. I still don’t know what to do in college.
Tess Tickles that’s okay! I think becoming a certified nurse aide would be a great idea. Doesn’t take long, is needed in the hospital/nursing homes, and a job ($$). You can have it as a side job in college and if you decide you want to be a nurse, the hospital may even pay for you to go and reimburse you. Bonus!
I’m majoring in oranges. Idk.. there’s just something citrusy about an orange that intrigues me. I’ve become very interested in helping the world peel their oranges.
haha nice a bacon sandwich. There's a course where you are taught to do it underwater. lol
Have you considered pursuing a more broad field of study to increase your likelihood of getting a job? Like, what about Citrus Studies? lol
whiteclematis lmaooo
a bacon sandwich is this serious 😭😭
The kardashians would love that!
Successful college drop out of college because their business just became too time consuming for their degree, ppl like mark zuck still managed to get in to top colleges
True! Mark Zuckerberg was such an inspiration. Sadly, not everyone has the same story.
Shane Hummus - The Success GPS not everyone wants to work as hard
Plus it's like 0.0001% of college dropouts that make it big, others are either working 9-5, doing drugs or unemployed. Don't forget that. A college degree doesn't guarantee everything in life but it does guarantee that you don't have to live your life starving for food.
How many mark Zuckerberg's are there in America , heck the world ?
How many Jeff Bezos are there in U.S ?
How many Bill gates are being churned out of ivy league colleges ?
It’s not just skill, there’s a lot of brilliant people with good ideas who tried to be like Steve Jobs or Mark zuckerburg and fell flat on their faces. It takes luck.

Why? lol.. tell me about your plans and maybe I could help. Cheers!
me too
I relate this stuff is depressing
Lol same i can relate since we're the same age and stuffs
As a guy who is 20 let me tell you younger seniors something. College is worth it, however it is not worth it if you don’t want to go. I didn’t go right out of Highschool, I went to work. For two years, and had lots of money. But I got sick of it. Don’t go to college until you learn to appreciate learning, and know you will be giving it your all.
Solid advice, thanks Robert. Taking a gap year can be a great idea
Robert Gammett what you studying?
Jake P I’m studying Mechanical Engineering, and hopefully one day a Ph.D in mathematics so I can teach at University level
@@robertgammett8718 Good plan Robert.. I wish you all the best on that. =)
Exactly
EDIT:HR is a good career to go into, however majoring in an HR degree is not advisable unless you double major in it and something else. The reason for this is you can become an HR manager with a number of different degrees whereas if you get an HR degree you sort of pigeonhole yourself into that one career. Still not a horrible degree, but not as good as many of the other business related ones. Sorry for the confusion there!
I don't really understand!
I'm in grade 12 I wanna study HR in the university! So? Isn't it good or?
@@daniesedits6929
Better to do accounting. Because some HR positions require working in payroll, and throughout your accounting degree, you still learn a lot about organization behaviour, employment laws and such.
But the main problem with HR is that if you major in it, you can hardly do anything else. While if your major in different degrees, you can work in jobs that require that degree and HR if you like.
I'm in my mid 40s and going to go for my CS degree. I'm probably going to face some ageism, but I'm not going to let that stop me.
Get into it if it'll make you very professional. Other than that, give it a try.
Better late than never... Go for the win!!!!!
Go for it pls, my mom never got to go to school, I want to see her graduate some day
I respect people like you, age shouldn't be a problem when it comes to your dreams.

Woah! Engineering isn't saturated? *laughs in Indian*
Maybe in your country it is. Thanks for the comment
@@ShaneHummus never meant it to be rude. Sorry if it was conveyed in such a way! Great video
Ms A Real Engineering isn’t saturated
Omer Turhan In fact it’s expected to grow rapidly due to technological advancement. There will always be a need!
Of course there's always an Indian involved.
With COVID-19 in its course, a degree in medicine is the way to go for me.
Cat Ice QT that is a solid plan. Nice choice.. Any thoughts on the video by the way? Cheers!
@@ShaneHummus Great video by the way! The problem with my country is we have too many medical graduates but not enough hospitals. There are news from 2010 till today regarding of this problem. But still the graduate employability is 100%. In fact, we need more doctors than ever so I'm not that worried.
@@ShaneHummus Medical research might be opening up. Seems like Med, tech and business - busieness mixed with production of humanities, just like medicine has 2 aspects, healing and making ppl feel better, they aren't alwsys the same but should be!
@@cataldoareno909 I messed up earlier in medicine, my couselor said that will always be on my record so don't do medicine, I am thinking medical research just temp with a technology side. business and language is interesting too. Wondering if i still can do pharmacy!
@@falsesectslikeshiaarejudeo6543 if you are determined and are concentrated then you may hit your target, but yeah dipping into a bit of the job would be good as your starting point, good luck
Every Job needs “Hard work” a job with high pay or low pay.
Good point
I'm 17, finishing my last highschool year and have been struggling choosing my degree until some time ago, when I decided Computer Science could be so much fun and that it had everything I wanted, though I still had some doubts. But now, watching your video, I think there's probably nothing to be scared of, no job is perfect, but with determination and the right thoughts, you can make the best out of whatever you choose. Thank you so much!!
Very decision with CS. Good luck!
@@ShaneHummus thanks ^^
@@LS-bu3io How's it going for you?
Hey how is it going so far
@@ShaneHummus Hey. Which degree is suitable for founders?
Shouldn't pick a major solely for the possibility of high revenue either.
Hi John Jacob! Yes you're right. There should be a balance between passion and what actually puts food on the table. Thanks for your comment =)
What? Why do you work? For money.
@@asiandod325 right
Yes you should
@@asiandod325 money is extremely important, but is not the most important thing in life. The average person will start a career at age 22 and finish at 62. So for forty years, you're in a job specifically for money. If you're willing to sacrifice happiness for money then have fun chasing money. If you followed that path then you'll be taking anti depressants by age 30.
Now I never said just to follow your passions and cast all common sense to the side. It's quite important to figure what kind of life you want to live. Making money is extremely important and should be considered when choosing your career, but it shouldn't be the primary thought.
When I picked my career it was out of interest towards the subject, I did my research and understood that if I played my cards right I could make a large amount of money. There's many people in my profession that went into it because of the wealth and unfortunately for them, it hasn't worked out.
I've been a registered nurse for like 8 years, and about to start my second degree in BSCS! Wish me luck!
Best of luck!
Tbh I killed traditional university CS degree kids with self-study and application development.

Know your purpose! We can't guarantee what tomorrow might bring. Wishing you would reach that tho❤
Now when you’re 54 you won’t be thinking: man I should’ve done this at 49. Because you’re gonna be 54 eitherway
Computer science CONS: EXTREME COMPETITION.
Right Maria
Airam Flores Not exactly, yes for the posistions at the large tech companies larger are a part of FANG. But the demand is for software engineers/computer science grads is growing but the actual supply of skilled talent is low. Watch the Tech Lead on TH-cam he explains it more in detail.
Yes but at my school there is a joke. The school of journalism is made up of failed CS majors.
Especially since companies are hiring people from different countries to do the work for less.
SSG US you need to learn how to write? Just be a journalist, start writing and sell yourself, don’t waste your time trying to impress the girls that are gunna end up marrying cops.
I’m one of those idiots that’s risking any sort of financial stability to go after a goal I have; education reform. I want better school systems. Pro- I have flexibility in career path. Con- there’s no paved route.. gotta get creative!
I love that you have a plan on what you want and you have a purpose in life.. Good enough for me to put a heart on your comment
Make sure to study public speaking, psychology, economix, & political science as well. You're gonna rub shoulders w/some tough nuts to crack. Stay calm. Best advice I can give, though I don't live it. It wouldn't hurt to read a bible at least once too. Why? You're going to have to work w/ parents who are very pious & cautious concerning their children's education. You can lock horns OR know their perspectives & how to formulate a win-win. Or not. Your choice.
Sousou hi
Reading this makes me happy. I'm glad there's at least one person going all in for something so important and difficult. I hope to see you making a positive change in the future.
I respect you. Please, change this horrid school system for our children, and their children and so forth!
i love this comment. all of us here are simply adapting to this terrible educational system in the united states. you here are trying to solve it. hats off to u.
Recent civil engineer grad here. Although civil engineering is “saturated”, there are many disciplines within civil engineering that you can transition into with the same degree. I got a job as an entry level structural engineer after graduation and I love it. Just because it’s “very saturated” doesn’t mean you won’t get a job. Like any other career, you must try your best to stand out to recruiters.
Thanks for sharing that Jose.. Cheers!
The author here states engineering field will not get saturated. I would agree because of the heavy math and science coursework. Calculus 1, 2 and 3. Chemistry 1, Physics etc. 🙋♀️

Why? Because the only jobs you will find worth your salt(salary).
Is in bioinformatics/bio data science.

This channel found me at the best time of my life. I’m 20 years old currently taking a gap semester (Thanks COVID) and trying to figure out what I actually want to do with my life.
Omg same!!! Literally a 20 year old on a gap year too. Feel pretty hopeless do I major in something I enjoy or something that will make me money. But if I major in something that will only make me money. What if I find it hard and fail? ;/
@@dabsbass7687 I like to think of it as pick 2 out of the 3: be good at it, like doing it, and making a lot of money from it.
Pretty much everyone who isn't loaded already will have to pick money for one of the two.
You can be good at anything, really, if you dedicate the time for it, even if it seems hard(e.g. learning a language is possible at any age as long as you try). And you don't have to be perfect, just good enough to get a paycheck.
As for liking it, you don't have to have a passionate boner for your job. You can relieve yourself in your free time (do what you like outside of work, untied to a paycheck). . . .but ofc, if you can get paid a lot to bust a nut, that would be quite a privilege.
As for the imposter syndrome you're feeling, no one knows everything at first. That's what school is for--to learn. Take a class that you think is super hard, and if you retake it, it'll be a breeze. And if you see someone who does know everything, know that their progress isn't yours. Focus on yourself, as that's the only thing that should be important to you.
Me too, you're not alone. Just major in anything in stem but look for jobs that are in high demand with low job saturation. Like computer science then you can minor in whatever you like. It's just a backup plan. 🥱😂😂👍🏽
Same here! In 20 years old (gonna be 21 next Tuesday) and I have to spend an extra year in university.
I'm here wondering why I haven't been recommended this channel years ago...but better late than never I supoose
This channel found me at the age of 19 years old. I’m still in college trying to figure my life out. I took a semester off due to my mental health. I changed my major and to psychology in hopes to become a LMFT after undergrad.
Really love watching informative content like this, I haven't graduated Highschool yet but the "real world" is hectic and scary when you're not ready, thanks for this! I hope I can be as prepared as I'll be when I step up to college and to a career :D
Glad it was helpful! Good luck in your chosen path 😊

One more thing on Computer Science that is in demand and will be in the future would be Information Security/Cyber Security as the increase in IoT will create more security vulnerabilities in systems or software.
Agreed!
@@yadiramartinez1248 really? I might lat move to a cyber security MOS. Hoping that would be good enough 🙏
Does it pay decent?
@@assassin7250 Yeah it really does. For my country it is up there in having a higher than average basic salary
@@yadiramartinez1248 what did you get your bachelor's in?
I graduated in mechanical engineering and went straight into project management for a petroleum company. I would agree with what was said about engineering although I do think the computer/software related engineering degrees are better than petroleum in the long term as this covers a larger engineering sector and is growing like crazy these days.
Trying to decide between trying to stay in university or just go get a trade certificate. At 22 years old and exhausted of Community college I am just tired of school.
Big decision! Thinking about doing a video on the best trade careers soon...
At least you went to community college and weren’t wasting extra money
Bro I feel your pain I’m turning 22 in about 2 weeks and I’m getting my associates degree in 2 weeks as well. Right now I’m transferring to a university next year but I’m only taking 2 computer courses and and 1 English class this winter, so I can work on some coding projects. This hopefully will help me decide on either to get my BS in computer science or not and just work on some crazy projects that could potentially land me a job at google or amazon or Microsoft.
@@EVILUNITEZ I'm turning 18 in 3 weeks and I have no idea what to study in college or what I want to do with my life. I guess do have time on my side, though.

Im in a critical stage of my life and your channel helped me a lot,
good to have you aboard Dean J
Hi Shane. Thank you for this video. I am in a weird place right now. I've been unemployed since March due to the pandemic and the statewide lockdown as well as my own health issues. It took forever for me to finish my degrees and certificates and because of how my life turned out I feel it was a waste of time. I am definitely ready to pivot to something else. I have enrolled in a career exploration class at a local community college to help me find a new path. I was originally a graphic design major but became frustrated because I couldn't find a steady full-time job that paid well. I switched to fine art in order to be able to do my own work but haven't been very successful financially. I've been told that graphic designers make between $30,000.00 and $100,000.00 a year. I've also learned that if I have my work licensed I can have a steady stream of income from the use of my art. I only mention all this because art and design didn't make the top 5 list. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Hey Kerry! I appreciate you sharing that and seeking my advice. Sorry to hear about you getting laid off. Anyway, let me leave you with this video. Good luck in everything Kerry
Art Degrees That Are ACTUALLY Worth It?

My son is 17 and wants to major in music. We’ve just started doing some research to see what kind of job prospects he’ll have after getting that degree. Thank you for your videos, they’re very informative.
i think a marketing major (more specifically professional communications or public relations) is perfect because not only is it always in demand, let’s you be really creative if you work on advertising, but also pays well if you really work your ass off very quickly.
Thanks for sharing
I just switch my major from SW to Marketing. Super happy I made this move.
What if your not into social media like that?
I was interested in the creative side of marketing until I realised that it's pretty hard to get into marketing after graduating because employers require a lot of experience from you. As a grad, you'll most likely end up in a sales role. Or a mix of marketing and something else like admin. Most marketing graduates ditch their dreams and just go with whatever makes money. That's the honest truth I learned the hard way
@@adijat560 you have to learn.
Tip when you're doing undergrad diversify your studies and make sure to study abroad/ go on an internship or do research. a key part of being successful isnt just getting a piece of paper but proving you are knowledgeable and hardworking. In my Russian classes almost every person had a second degree like business, political science, engineering. alone those can be good but combined with that extra skill is what set alot of my classmates apart.
That is a good tip Chase. Someone better read this
Great tip! For my case, I worked full time in the company and as a part time teacher previously. So it is beneficial to have more skillsets. Whether soft or hard skills, and always stay competitive and upgrade yourself. If one day you were not doing what you are doing. And plan on a career switch. It would be much easier as you have something to fall back on. One would also learn more skills and be more self disciplined as handling more school work or jobs has more responsibilities as well. So while one can have a main career path, it's good to diversify as well like what you have stated. And also to be able to know everything about something, and something about everything
Well said.
Unless you are financially independent and have to pay for school plus 2k in rent a month. Meaning class then work and repeat. I’m a premed bio major and work full time. Really wanted to end up with an awesome resume with research and being active in orgs but I don’t even have time to sleep

As a Network Engineer making over 6 figures, I cannot stress the idea enough of getting practical experience while getting your degree. I benefitted from being in the military while getting my degree, BUT this experience can be expressed in many ways. From entry level IT positions, to documenting your own lab work, to getting CERTIFICATIONS. Many "entry level" IT engineering positions require 3 years minimum of experience... CRAZY.
My husband graduated with Help Desk Degree from 2 year program in the midwest. All the jobs open with no experience were temp jobs for one year. It was not a permanent position with all the benefits. It did not work out for him. He also had a 2 yr accounting degree but it did not open doors either. His brother has a 4 yr accounting degree and got his CPA - worked out better- plus his brother lived in a larger city.
My son is working on an engineering degree and is also working at an engineering firm in a large city. She earns $80k a year salary without the 4 yr degree.
Basically any degree that is more technical and skill oriented.
That's right Brian Wong. So which one did you pick?
@@ShaneHummus accounting. typical because im asian lol
@@Scarsofevil and that is a good choice. Good luck brother =)
@@Scarsofevil That's interesting as to how the stereotypes are different depending on where you're from. I wouldn't say it's typical of an Asian to become an accountant.

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

"steer clear of mechanical because its hard to get a job"
me with a full time offer with a top aerospace company in my senior year
Same, I also have an offer with an amazing aerospace company with an Electro-Mechanical engineering degree. I don't know what Shane is on, but personally I think mechanical engineering is much, much more lucrative and applicable than he thinks it is. Engineering degrees are so valuable, there are so many different paths you can take with an engineering degree, and mechanical engineers are always in demand. I don't think Shane quite grasps how valuable a mechanical engineering degree is, especially when mechanical engineers understand electronics and electrical engineering.
I hear that. I became a mechanical engineering major because I wanted the ability to have a major that’s more wide ranged. Instead of choosing something like aerospace engineering where it’s more hard set what you do after college. With mechanical you can change your mind late in the game of the specifics you want to do and it’s ok.
Wow.. way to go Lawrence
wow, i appreciate this so much! i dropped out of community college my first year because i took care of my mom instead - now i’m close to 30 and a single mom and finding myself hopelessly moving from job to job and nothing that makes enough money. i have been contemplating going back to school, but all these majors sound like a complete joke, unless you become a RN or a doctor.

I am majoring in Information Technology and working on my Associates Degree at the moment. I was debating on which Computer Science degree I wanted either IT or Computer Programming then I found out that IT consists of about everything related to Computers and there were more openings for IT in my area. I have 4 reasons for wanting to major in it. 1: It pays extremely well, 2: I love computers, 3: I can improve my quality of life, 4: There will always be a need for it. I am also planning on Minoring in Business and Administration in case I decide to create a business.
Is Information technology too hard? It’s hard as accounting and finance? Or just medium hard?
Y’all it also depends on where you go to college. If you’re a theatre major and if you go to a top tier BFA / BA musical theatre school, you’re going find success somewhere. Find your passion and find a school that will back up that passion.

Fucking preach it! Success in the arts depends on your creative capacity and hard work first and foremost, but everyone that pursues and sees through art education already has those two factors in check (Some more than others, but all definitely have enough to get by in their field). Now, the other, more important factor left then is your connection and prestige, and to build up both of those you need to attend top Universities for your particular field.
If you can get all these factors in check and keep on pursuing your passion, success is bound to materialise and follow.
blaise robert yes - I was thinking you can’t really learn acting from a coach - it takes practice, and theater majors get that practice acting in front of an audience and seeing how the production of a play works from start to finish. The world would not be such a beautiful place without the fine arts - and some people will only be happy performing in whatever capacity that brings them joy.

Can i get a master in finance after mba? Or you have to do your bachelor first before pursuing your master.
@@schweinsteiger7722
Depending on the school.
Some schools, you can do master in fiance even if you have a bachelor degree in Engineering, some school required you to have taken all pre requisite courses, some schools only accept you if you have a degree in Fiance.
You could've been a lot richer with petroleum engineering degree tho in the start at least
But finance doesnt pay half bad as well
@deutschelehrer69 depends on what you do. Finance has alot of high paying opportunities

Just graduated with a degree in comp sci, and while its true some of the biggest salaries come from cities like San Fran and Seattle, those are also areas where the taxes and cost of living are extremely high too.

Can you tell me one thing. Is Information System useful for future? Its a computing major related degree.
Senior in cs degree here. My current cons:
- difficult subjects that may take you some time to learn.
-hard to find tutorials on specific problems
-you cant half do your work. Your code either works or it doesnt meaning if you work hours on a project and it still doesnt work... it doesnt work
Finally finding something you actually would like to code every day can be hard to find i personally cant see myself waking up every day trying to solve issues on a A.I. system built my some other guy who didnt explain his code.
Cs is fun when it works, infact its euphoric but expect some walls you have to climb including possible useless math classes required for your major. Like for real man all cs students need is cal 1 and discrete math. Everything else seems redundant. Sigh
Marcus *royal* thanks for your input. This is something very valuable that our soon to be CS majors could read. Difficult it is, but all worth it in the future. Good luck Marcus =)
I am currently proficient in the up and coming language “stack overflow”.
So I recently found out that a school near me offers a BA in CS, Which only requires those two math classes you mentioned!! I'm really thinking that's what i'm going to do in college, since pure math has never been my specialty.
@@jasch4034 do what you love! I hope you enjoy college.
Out of curiosity, did they separate finite and discrete math at your college? I know they are similar, but over here discrete is at the graduate level-
I've always been fascinated with math and science and I love taking it into practicality and so engineering seems like a very lucrative and fun degree for me.
I wish I could become an engineer but I think I’m a bit too behind on my science and math. But perhaps it’s never too late. All of the classes required for an engineering degree fascinate me.
I did Cybersecurity and learned about investing on the side. Good choice so far :) So Computer Science for the Win!! I worked my butt off in college and got plenty of Internship experience. It is true you can hit 6 figures quick but make sure you can keep up with the cost of living as well. Also all of the perks that google offers, are tricks to keep employees at the job and working. lol food for thought. But definitely Cyber is a HOT area right now

Happy to help!
Currently have a B.A. in Psychology. Have been going back and forth btwn I/O and OT. I love both fields deeply.
Bro... I've just been in the biggest dilemma of my life with this choice of career thing. I'm currently in the process of transferring to a 4-year, but I don't know what the hell to do. In community college, I was a Business Administration major at first because I wanted to learn about business. Took classes and all and then I thought, "Well if I open a business, what would it be on?" So I started looking into the next big things and stuff like technology and science. I realized that I don't know shit about math or science so I decided to switch my major to engineering because it was a major that had various classes to take so I could know what field to finally set off into (like either electrical engineering, physics, computer science, math, chemistry, etc.) After two years, I was just so overwhelmed with the amount of work in STEM. I could not take the workload in such a short amount of time. It was too stressful and alienating. I had no time for anything. And deadlines really took the fun out of math for me. I believe school is great for disciplining yourself as professionally as possible, but this shit was just weighing me down. After realizing that I spent 6 years in community college, I said FUCK IT! and finished my Business Major and graduated with that because I still had another year and a half of STEM classes. I'm 27 now and barely about to transfer. I have been a Math Tutor for 4 years now and find myself liking math a little more every time I tutor some students. And after some time off from school, while waiting to transfer, I've been with people that just have no mathematical sense and found myself forgetting a lot of math stuff. I felt so dumb and just not up to par with the standards of the digital age. I am passionate about MATH and BUSINESS but I believe you can only be a master of one thing. I want to go to school for business to learn how to do business because I have no experience and I've learned that I take more action for school-related things as opposed to applying the philosophies of self-development/business books every day. I want to go to school for MATHEMATICS also because I believe that I would have a better understanding of the universe around me and develop the left side of my brain more. I've done all the shit: PROS/CONS lists and everything and I just can't seem to know what to pursue. I know that I COULD pursue both majors but end up in hella debt. To anyone here, I'm just asking for some method to help me out. Or if you were in this situation, what would you do? Because I have no idea wtf to do. I just feel like I'll miss out on the beautiful things I could learn from advanced math if I choose business. And I feel like I'll never have that business I want or be that entrepreneur because of the time and dedication to learn and teach math.
Idk but do more research on what will benefit you more and demanded the most in the future
Thanks for sharing. Good luck
Do Stanford odessy plan, you can self teach both. Try find an issue to solve which u can solve.
Mathematics is in demand but really only in certain fields. Teaching is mostly a dead end although it is definitely needed. I'm putting in my last few years as a maths tutor and can say point blank don't teach maths unless you have a vocational love for it. School districts will almost always walk all over you and the only reason I took on tutoring is that I didn't want to build back a client base as a CPA or work corporate hours again. I make good money but it's a hustle and no matter WHERE you go people skills and friendships are key. If you stink at public speaking or have social anxiety you need to develop coping strategies or your career prospects will stall without a way to advance if you need more money later on.
