I think they may be invested in her life and see her as some sort of a friend. So, I am assuming their intentions are 'good' and want the 'best' for her by imposing their worldview and personal values on her like an overbearing friend or parent would. Or some of these people either just have a lot of opinions and do not consider their words as potentially hurtful and offensive to her.
jack turnbull ---- One of the commenters calling her a dumbass actually used incorrect spelling and grammar, before stating that that they wanted to go to Harvard. Guess who's not getting in.
I completely support everything you say in your argument for why you went to college yet want to be a TH-camr. However, I would also like to add the point that a lot of your earlier, more popular videos, ones where you give advice about college and school, are so successful because the fact that you have a Harvard degree and, therefore, can be treated as a trusted source.
The fact that anyone could ever consider learning, meeting a culturally diverse group of people, and just generally expanding one's intellectual capacity a waste is absolutely absurd. College is never a waste of money! I loved your video, you articulated yourself extremely well and made a very compelling case against those ignorant comments. :)
totally agree. College is not all about jobs and it changes ones way of thinking towards his/her life in a positive way. And she always shows intelligence and great logic in her videos. I love it, too.
Wow! Loved that comment at 10:27 "What you should do is figure out what it is you WANT to do, and then spend all your time going after that". Powerful. And so true.
Danielle Yothathone But by just going to university to learn you are wasting your time and money. Someone else with hopes to pursue a career in the field which they get a degree from could have taken her spot.
Danielle Yothathone Notice how ridiculous your point is considering the difference in price. Most of the time extracurricular activities are used for children to figure out what their good at.
Some (most) people need to have certain rules- "you go to college for a REAL job". But You are breaking the rule with that artistic confidence I love so much. You actually RADIATE intelligence and one can see that you know how to play this game :) 'It's always the mad mad men and wild wild women who change the world'
Oh my gosh I listened to every second of this and it is perfect. You are so strong and such an inspiration. YOU DO YOU GIRL AND SHOW EM YOU’RE SUCCESSFUL IN YOUR UNIQUE WAY. That’s all that matters❤️❤️
People are so stupid and close minded. You are doing what you want to. This is a job and you teach too. You are doing the things you love. Sounds like you learned a lot. You learned how to live the life you want. People say rude things because they are jealous and think everything should be the standard way.
Being a TH-camr allows you to travel the world while making enough money to support yourself. You went to Harvard and now you're traveling the world...sounds perfect to me. You do you, Yes. You seem happy and healthy. People will never be satisfied. I fully support you.
It's the Privilege you have the people who say these comments are mad about. Privilege will either help you or bring you down. In my case I'm privileged based on where I live (In a 3rd world Country) my parents send me of to private schools and such. But I would never get into schools such as Harvard, Yale, etc. Because the middle class in my country does not equate to yours. It's interesting to be in a environment of intellectual people, but in my case of being in a middle class family watching half my countrymen suffer makes you think about the injustices of the world much more. Which makes what some people have weight much more to me, I can't do what I want (Art) after college because I would not make much money for myself and most importantly my family. Therefore I push myself to study harder, get scholarships in college and help my family.
I think the problem people have with you going to Harvard but ultimately deciding to start a youTube career is the fact that you took the spot of someone who could have been a Politician, Scientist, Academic or Business Entrepreneur. Hard to pinpoint because I don't know your degree or area of study. I have this feeling its either business or liberal arts. Since you choose a career in entertainment, it seems like an opportunity cost to society, not necessarily to you, although the comments are directed at your supposed bad judgement. I am not talking about money and a job. I am talking about the overall contribution to society. As someone who loves art and how it is under valued in society, I have a sympathetic and a bit more optimistic view of your choice. Conan O'Brian went to Harvard and ended up in comedy. He brings joy and enriches people's lives with his humor. With someone who is use to a high standard, I hope this continues to be reflected in your channel. Also, I hope you cover "more serious" topics with insight and wit. Pressure is privilege and I hope you take all that negativity and turn it into something great.
This isn't 60 years ago. The majority of people will never have only one career. We wont have that security! It's shifting in the way employers hire. They dont care what your degree was in,, they care that you have a degree and have critical thinking skills. They then weigh more on what skill sets you hold. She did not choose a career. She chose a temp job. More varying background experiences can later add up to a very specialized awesome job! Shes not limiting her future self like most people do. She's smart.
I agree. Maybe she wouldn't have been able to give her subscribers some awesome study tips or insights on harvard & life if it wasn't for going to Harvard. I mean, it's best to listen to harvard-related content by a harvard student themselves :)
Reneau, I am a Chinese girl. I really like your videos and they give me inspirations and strength. Your impact is much more than those people can imagine. Keep going and I will always support u.
I am so happy you decided to address this, and may I add, in a very graceful manner. I honestly could not have said it better. My father always told me: "Once you get your degree, you can do whatever you want to do in life", obviously financial and career security is important for him. But you obviously have that security, (I mean you went to the best university in the world for crying out loud) and you definitely are a bright young woman who seems to have her goals set, and her head straight, which i look up to and admire very much. I have been watching your videos for a while now, and I am so glad that I stumbled upon your videos the first time I discovered you because you have become a huge role model to me. I just wanted to say that these comments were clearly written by closed minded people who have a hard time understanding that their ideals and opinions regarding success may not necessarily apply to everyone else in the world. So keep your head high, and you do you.
This was a great video. I remember when you first put out the video about what you're doing post geaduation, and while I didn't feel the need to comment a judgy, rude statement of my thoughts, I definitely was confused and felt that personally I wouldn't have made that same choice. But this video gave me a great understanding of why you did it and overall I think it gave me a lot of perspective. I'm about to start my final year of high school and the line you said about college not being for a job, but rather for personal enrichment, really resonated with me. In an environment where everyone around me seems obsessed with what degree/college gets what job and how much money each job will get, it was refreshing and frankly, inspiring to hear someone say what you did. Thank you, and keep making your awesome videos!!
No tea, no shade, but pointing this out because it's increasingly common: there's a good chance there are no good job opportunities right off the bat for people with BAs even from Harvard. Alot of degrees are fairly useless no matter where you get them. I have a useless BA as well and that's why I went to professional school after. It's just what college has become now a days. Undergrad is a money scam 90% of the time. I can tell you as someone who spent almost a decade in university and has worked in the real world you learn way more and meet many more different people in a real job then you ever could at college.
Really like how you're so strongly opinionated on this topic. I think once someone is subjected to massive amounts of opinions it starts to affect their judgment (i.e. No one likes this about me so I'll change it even though I like it). So proud of you and your journey :)
Dont limit yourself to just one thing. Explore and try things that you have a passion for or love. If you dont do something you love you'll be miserable your whole life. And i think you're doing a very good job in exploring your new passions. Dont let the miserable haters faze you taylor 💪👌
PASSION, I LOVE IT! There need to be more people that live for themselves instead of others. I seen it all in my friends and luckily, I was raised by my parents to pursue a career that I want. Money is important but it also isn't everything. I support your decision and hope your youtube chanel continues to grow simultaneously while reaching out to help many more students!
Even though I completely respected your decision and how you live YOUR life, I did find it strange why a Harvard graduate would be pursuing TH-cam, but after watching this video I fully understand your reasoning and I actually agree with it.
Issa Rae went to Stanford and started her career on TH-cam. Now she is writing for HBO. No one has the right to judge anyone's path. 👏 Congrats on all of your accomplishments thus far, Ms. YesRNeau (I know it's spelled wrong)! You still have a lot of life to live, and I want to thank you for sharing your journey with the world.
Yes it is super respectable that she's doing what she is passionate about but 7 million views is still only about $7,000 over three years which isn't livable and that's why I think some people are looking at her living off of who knows what now that she's home, yet being able to comfortably sit on a prestigious college degree. It's that ridiculous privilege that some people are mad at, not that she isn't "successful", just very few people have that opportunity to be in a situation like hers.
Yup, I totally agree with your points. She has this privilege but at the end of the day if she is able to afford doing what she's doing, I think people should at least try to understand that rather than jump to conclusions and place value judgments.
Silas Swanson It's not priveledge... It's hard work. Work hard and you can achieve anything you want (to a point). She worked hard and got to where she is now.
Scholarbound What he meant by privilege is the privilege to be able to focus on things other than money, which you can see from her lack of concern or worry towards how she finances her studies at Harvard, which some can't afford even if they were able to be accepted by the university.
Thanks to their endowment, Harvard has the most generous financial aid policy in the world. If you can get accepted, they will make sure you can afford to attend. Their main concern is to attract the best and brightest regardless of financial background. Only the most elite schools like Harvard and Stanford can afford to do this. That is likely why she is not too concerned about finances.
It's about credential-ism. That's what it's all about. You need a degree to show EVERY employer, that you have it in you to stick with something and succeed at it. You have a great channel btw. I think the reason so many people here are upset is because MOST undergrad students who graduate with a bachelor's degree have a really hard time getting a job after. What happens most often is they end up as an assistant manager somewhere for several years and at some point give up on themselves a little and become a substitute teacher and make no more than 34K a year. So when you graduate from the most prestigious institution in the world and just leave the Harvard degree locked away in the file cabinet and pursue youtube, many people here get a sour taste in their mouth. So many people graduating from public universities are spending 2 decades or more after they graduate just trying to land a 100K job. Then they see you on here with a Harvard degree and could easily land a 200K job within six months of graduating Harvard. I know none of us need to go to college, but the name of the game presently is "credential-ism".
what's great is yenreneau mentioned if she ever wants to switch paths at any time, she can. That's why having a degree is so important. It gives you more opportunity and options. The Harvard degree is something no one can take away from her.
Very powerful words I don't know if I should continue doing my business degree or pursue something else. Your message speaks to me but I have no idea what else I wanna do in life. I think I'm better off going the easy way and making my mind up after graduation.
Society is so stuck on "real jobs". They either want corporate 9-5 or it doesn't count. Do what you want to, and make money how you want and live how you want and be happy. Mad respect for you and this channel. I hope comments like these can outweigh the negative ones.
This way of thinking just amazes me... i jus, idk... we need more ppl like you in this world... We often forget that we are humans, that we are completely different and that there're no rules when it comes to the "success" meaning. I am not priviliged, and in my country i have to work really really hard just to have the opporunity of getting into my dream school, which is public 'cause i have no money.... sooo the thing is i'm putting effort on everything i'm doing and i'm really scared... i just turned 18 but i see the world and life with completely different eyes. Thanks YesReneau for sharing this part of your life and your knowledge with us.. You're awesome and Keep up the amazing work!!
They only reason they are criticizing you is because they are jealous that you got into Harvard and they didn't(or will never get into). You are a very cool and intelligent person.
I stoked you kept making TH-cam videos. You've had a positive influence on my life. Do what makes you happy. I thoroughly enjoyed your response to those comments.
Don't listen to the rude comments. There is so much negativity towards just about anyone these days. I saw a Gawker article trying to claim Brandon Stanton of Humans of New York is just self interested and using people for his benefit. I've seen negative comments making fun of the Dailai Lama and Desmond Tutu for their beliefs. There will always be negativity and it's sad how much there is sometimes, but you definitely have enough supporters to not have to give into their negativity. You do you.
Keep living your dream and if you believe in yourself you will be happy and get everything you want whether it be money or fame and i and many others will always believe in you.
I can agree so much with you! You can literally do a bootcamp for coding and become a programmer/web developer/etc! My mom became a producer at a top Korean broadcasting company (5 years ago) from making church videos even though she had a degree in business. It is truly the individual-not the school-who shapes their future! I can also agree with something you said in the middle of the video. I didn't take my AP Physics C E&M and Mechanics just to get a high grade and have a better college application (in fact it actually lowered my GPA), but because I wanted to surround myself with individuals who loved to challenged themselves and were different from all my friends who just liked to shop and gossip!
To begin with, you did not waste your Harvard degree. It will stay with you! You are doing what you are happy with what you are doing and that's what counts. I really admire the fact that you are highly educated and yet you are very easy-going. Don't listen to the remarks of these people.
I think that culture and social status are the reasons why these people reacted in certain ways. If I've watched this video a few years back, I would have said the same negative things. Acquiring a good education in a poverty stricken society is the most usual way to get out of it. Therefore, the notion of education equates to money is ingrained to us since childhood. I was only able to get out of that mentality when our financial situation improved and I can finally see 'the' world and not just 'our' world. Taylor, I actually admire your bravery and your videos help me form my own journey and find my real purpose. Thank you for being an inspiration to all of us. PS: book recommendations video would be awesome ✌
Hello Yes! You answered so well and honestly to those comments. I recognise that I shared their questions somehow. Anyways, I prefer the way you see your situation and also the fact that you use this gift genuinely given to human beings: freedom! You explain it the most with this I think: "It is not because you can do something that you must do it". Another idea I loved is this one "You don't go to college in order to get a job but going to college can help you getting a job". Shades shades shades! Thank you sooo much! Stay true, stay this fress and refresshing, stay free, be happy! All the best!
You are my favorite TH-camr lately. I just graduated with a degree in English lit and as much as I've learned, I'm working as an assistant manager at a restaurant.. not really using my degree. What you've said.. completely changed my outlook.. my college courses were so enriching, it challenged my world views constantly, quenched my thirst for learning, and I got to learn so much about myself.. whether I use my degree or not, I wouldn't give up my experience and education for anything. I love this video and the way your mind works.. this has really opened my eyes and mind to the possibilities for my own life! ❤️❤️ I adore you!
YOU (referencing the video about caps lol) are BEAUTIFUL :D I hope you read this comment. Thank you for saying success is what we define for yourselves. Im a sophomore in my city university and you are so inspiring
Love your ideas, such an inspiring video. Can you do one on your favorite books/books that impacted you the most? Think it'd be really interesting...xd
You're expressing exactly the way I currently feel. I think not just Harvard graduates but a lot of college graduates feel the same way. Your videos does make an impact and it makes me feel better watching this, knowing someone else feels the same way. People leave negative comments due to jealousy. You should be proud that you can live your own version of your life and has an independent mind with dreams and hopes for life. I am now currently subscribed to support you on your TH-cam journey and I hope to see many more videos from you. :)
Unless they are very financially well off, no one is spending 200 grand to not use a degree. “Why not go to Harvard for the experience?” Because 👏🏼 most 👏🏼 people 👏🏼 can’t 👏🏼 pay 👏🏼 that 👏🏼 loan 👏🏼 back 👏🏼 without 👏🏼 using 👏🏼 that 👏🏼 prestigious 👏🏼 degree
@YesRenau people are going to talk regardless whether your doing good or bad,even with or without a college degree people still talk about someone else so use the haters as motivation because your actually following your dreams something not many people do or are afraid of doing so and I look up to you because your a strong woman and you made it to Harvard because you deserve it regardless of what anyone else says plus it's your life and keep living it to the fullest best of luck in your on going Journey and don't forget God is always their by your side.#cheerstoyou#yournotalone #treatpeoplethewayyouwanttobetreated
But its not that easy... not everyone can go for education itself because college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars & it's a big commitment & burden and you need a college degree to find a job that can actually pay a sustainable salary that you can live off of. Not everyone can just go to college and then decide not to do anything with their degree that they paid for..
Or she probably got a full scholarship to a top school. I attend another top school and I don't pay a dime. People are mad because of the social position she is in. Be happy for her.
This video was just what I needed to hear. I completely get you, and for so many years I thought I was crazy for thinking exactly what you are describing here. Of course I did not go to Harvard, but I went to a fricking expensive, well ranked university and I just don’t feel any 9-5 job suits me, and I have been trying to “fit in” as everyone expects for me to be in an office. I just recently lost my office job and I decided that I will go after what I want and find my own idea of “success” and I am happy I came across your video.
You go! Sheesh why did I just find this channel?! Relate so much with everything you said, I’m a Stanford alum taking the freelance/ entrepreneurial route and not the typical IB or Google, Facebook jobs. Speak life and continue to make that impact. Earned yourself a new subscriber 👌🏽👌🏽
Man, I love all these "Harvard Experts" who never set foot on the campus and don't have a successful TH-cam channel. You guys are totally educating Taylor. Where would she be without all you guys??
Out of your top 20 videos on youtube, 17 have "Harvard" in the title. You won't be making 6 figures in 5 years off of that alone and your other content doesn't seem to get many views. Sorry. Honest truth.
Maybe having "Harvard" so often in the titles is just about healing the "unconscious jealousy" most of the people who click on them have because of this pedestal we place ivy graduates on. The whole point of this video was to prove that it's not about the money she makes out of TH-cam or anything related with what the society expects from a Harvard graduate. After watching her videos for the past 6 months I have a better and more down-to-earth perception about Harvard and I think we should all thank her for that.
I think it's awesome that you're a TH-camr! I love your content😊 I find having a degree a bonus! You received a great education & if TH-cam were to become obsolete overnight, you just so happen to have your degree to fall back on. Plus, I find TH-camrs who are in school or went to school, way more relatable. Keep doing you, girl!
Love your perspectives on the value of your degree. As a fellow Harvard grad, much older than you, I can attest to all that you have said. "Success" does indeed mean very different things to different people, or to the same person at different stages of his or her life. While you and I share the experience of a Harvard education, there are many other paths to success in life, however you choose to define it. The key, as you are demonstrating by the choices you are making, is to be open to experiences, to be willing to pursue different or nontraditional avenues, and to never be afraid to choose a path that feels right for you - or as you so wisely point out, to choose not to take a path that others might want you to take. It is also important to not be afraid to fail, to have confidence in yourself to be able to recover from the curveballs life will inevitably throw at you. That self-confidence is the most valuable aspect of my Harvard experience, the knowledge that challenge is good and not be be feared. That is how I have lived my own life, and while I have never earned seven figures, I have made my own impacts in life, in ways that are meaningful to me. I consider my life to be very successful, and have never felt the slightest amount of regret at not letting money in and of itself guide my life decisions - though it is also important to make choices that allow you to support yourself and take care of other responsibilities in your life. Finding balance is key, and that is a continuous process in life. Keep up the good work!
I'm a viewer from Indonesia I have been watching your video and I'm going to college next year and I'm going to build my youtube career after high school because I have a passion on film making and you're such an inspiration and give me a positive and rational influence for me and I'm happy and love how you think and I'm supporting every decision as long as you're happy! You're living your dream and I also has thought about working in a office after college and it's already stressing me out because of the society pressure and people telling me success is based on how much money you makes. Anyway, Do what you love!
I totally agree with you that success doesn’t have to equate with wealth! Your impact on TH-cam has pushed me to be more focused on college and for me to follow my dreams!
I'd say you make about $300 a month from youtube. How can you even afford to live? You said you live in France or something like that, so I know it's expensive. Something tells me that you're still depending on your parents' bank account
Getting a "normal" "job" is NOT the dream. I think its digusting that people think that going to Harvard has anything to do with being so mediocre as to get a job. Going to Harvard means you are a more mature person with higher intellect who can CHANGE THE WORLD. Screw a friggin JOB!! And btw, you cannot make 7-figures from a j-o-b... people in your comments are delusional. YesReneau, you have the RIGHT MINDSET! Keep doing what you love that has NO PAY CEILING!
Thanks for sharing, this was great to hear today. I struggle a lot with my career path, I am barely starting to make stuff happen, 3 years after graduation and I still keep questioning if I have been wasting my degree, if art it is even something I want to do. But yes, it all comes to perspective. As a Mexican citizen, success to me is having the experience of studying for 5 years, getting my degree in the US and being able to write this comment in another language and communicate with others (with mistakes and all).
Thank you so much for this ! I completely agree with you. I think that education is the most powerful thing that someone can have and it's a blessing to be able to learn new things every day.
I have an other question, if you liked the prestigious and diverse Harvard universe, why didn't you continue your studies and did a master in an other prestigious university, maybe in an other country? In order to meet people that think even differently from you with other backgrounds?
Girl pat yourself on the back again! You deserve the best applause not only for being able to articulate yourself so well and address those comments but for handling critique so well. I admire the fact how strong is your spirit. One thing I always struggled was to not have the patience to make a point to others and as a result I simply cut those people off from my life. Now watching your video I question myself maybe I could have put more effort and at least TRY to explain why I do what I do and not what they think is right to do. Anyways, you are doing great! Knowledge is a priceless experience and people who left you those comments clearly didn’t grasp the meaning of a college. College doesn’t equal to money or job (college ❌💰or college ❌🛄) like most people think. Thank you for being you and please keep posting more videos. I love your topics.
"I didn't go to college with the purpose of obtaining a job afterward." I know I'm a year late, and she seems really sweet and inspiring and all, and the college experience is a great and important one, but that's...that's literally the purpose of college
Priya Yeah it is.... as a college student its not logical to say you didn't go to college to get job. Why would you go if you didn't intend to get a job? Makes no sense considering the opportunity cost.
I have watched many of your videos, as a matter of fact, I'm a 'bell' subscriber (lol bell subscriber 😂). But this was definitely one of my favorite videos (talk sess). What I see in society these days is persons going to college only for the purpose of getting a Job; so much so that they study things that they really are not interested in but they do it anyway because they'll definitely get a job after university. And when I saw this in the world, I kinda felt alone because college for me is a place to feed my intellectual curiosity, learn new skills , meet new people and everything else is an icing on the cake. But this video, and a lot of the comments that are attached to it show that I'm not really alone after all. You go Reneau... Follow your dreams and enjoy doing what you do best. 💓👏👏👏💓
Nah I don't think she did. It all depends on what one expects to get out of a university. Some people go to Harvard for different reasons : experience, chance to make a ton of money, learn more stuff, etc. She probably learned a lot in harvard so I guess that's pretty worth it lol.
she has the degree forever.. it would be wasted if she dropped out before graduating... If ten years from now she wants a regular job, she's still on the top of the list..
You can simply hear it in her voice, in her words that she's not wasting her Harvard degree. Her mindset and wisdom is not going to waste. Her voice and platform is doing far more than her sitting at a desk job.
Haha yet her haters are still subscribed to her and watch her videos and are also on TH-cam when they tell her why is she on TH-cam...same question goes to those haters like let her be#hypocrite#haters #laughoftheday
robert lee Then if their believes don't match her believes either way then why are they still subscribed to her like why are they so triggered over her not using her degree maybe she went to Harvard in case something doesn't go the way she hopes she will at least know she has her degree and what she is doing is a JOB...it's consuming her time and she's is giving the best she can and she is and obviously she is not settling because she keeps making videos.
Angie Seminara but it doesn't give y'all the right to bash her with curse words like that was totally out just because it wasn't in y'all view the way y'all view the situation
I am so thankful that you have that kind of mindset because without it I can't learn how to learn. You really help me a lot and once again I want to thank you for that. Please continue what your doing even if SOME people don't agree with it . You always have US no matter what.
There are many colleges that cost the same as Harvard. If a youtuber went to one of those colleges and decides to try to pursue a career in youtube nobody cares. But because its Harvard everyone loses their shit.
Honestly if one is capable of acquiring a degree from the most prestigious college in the world, that individual certainly knows their limits and how far can they achieve more. All the best for youtube YESRENEAU. We have faith in you and you can certainly achieve success at anything you give a try to!!!!
In California you can't teach without a degree. There are a lot of jobs that you can't do without a degree. You're def. speaking from a privileged standpoint! I don't know anyone around me who is just going to college, to go to college. that seems lit tbqh. Esp. considering a school like Harvard.
Maybe you don't know anyone that is creative enough to think of/find jobs that don't have degrees as mandatory requirements. A teacher usually isn't even going to be the magic 7-figure job Harvard was supposed to get her... Unless you risk it on a biscuit as a "teacher" online, on like... TH-cam or something (which doesn't require a degree).
I will point out that she explicitly said that she wasnt talking about careers and jobs that require a degree. Admittedly she only specified doctor and lawyer, but she didnt excluded other jobs.
YesReneau I love your videos and I'm a fan. With all the comments saying "You're wasting a Harvard degree for TH-cam" is just self centered and inconsiderate of those people to be telling YOU what to do in life. At the end of the day it's YOUR life and whatever makes YOU happy that's what you should be doing.
RENEAU! Thank you so much for this! It saddens me to see that there are many people who our outsiders to these elite school who think they can tell you what you can and can not do with your degree. I go to a school within the top five (according to the national college rankings), and so many people misunderstand the purpose of these elite schools and the people who compose them. They are multi faceted people just like any where else but the recieveing an education like no other in order to interpret it however and and anyway they want in the future.
"You don't need a high income to have a high quality life"
Best line possibly ever.
Life with Goldie um you need to survive LOL
If you are an adult and have not yet figured out how to survive I feel sorry for you
7 figures would allow me to snort cocaine off hookers every night for the entire year
But a high income certainly fucking helps.
Life with Goldie Yes, I agree and you don't need a degree to be a valuable person in society.
Why do you guys care so much about what she does in life. Just let her do what she wants to do its her life after all.
rt so true.
I think they may be invested in her life and see her as some sort of a friend. So, I am assuming their intentions are 'good' and want the 'best' for her by imposing their worldview and personal values on her like an overbearing friend or parent would. Or some of these people either just have a lot of opinions and do not consider their words as potentially hurtful and offensive to her.
you've healed my cancer
jorge hernandez well someone out there was denied admission into Harvard so she can go to Harvard and use her degree for a TH-cam channel
Ilovepancakes i understand that she could go out and get a better job but its her choice.
People are just jealous they aren't Harvard graduates or youtubers TBH. Fuck em Reneau!
jack turnbull // her name is Taylor. Reneau is bet last name.
+sam I still would have said Renau because that sounds cooler
I like this comment and agree with it! :)
jack turnbull ---- One of the commenters calling her a dumbass actually used incorrect spelling and grammar, before stating that that they wanted to go to Harvard. Guess who's not getting in.
Your harvard degree is a waste.. Period.
I completely support everything you say in your argument for why you went to college yet want to be a TH-camr. However, I would also like to add the point that a lot of your earlier, more popular videos, ones where you give advice about college and school, are so successful because the fact that you have a Harvard degree and, therefore, can be treated as a trusted source.
The fact that anyone could ever consider learning, meeting a culturally diverse group of people, and just generally expanding one's intellectual capacity a waste is absolutely absurd. College is never a waste of money! I loved your video, you articulated yourself extremely well and made a very compelling case against those ignorant comments. :)
ur actually dumb
totally agree. College is not all about jobs and it changes ones way of thinking towards his/her life in a positive way. And she always shows intelligence and great logic in her videos. I love it, too.
smileyhales not only is she dumb but also part of the problem. Good luck eating yourself :)
Wow! Loved that comment at 10:27 "What you should do is figure out what it is you WANT to do, and then spend all your time going after that". Powerful. And so true.
i like your mindset. going to college to get a job is what society tells you to do when going to college to get education is what it should be about.
Steffi Kreis it's not always that easy
Ynk Brandon It isn't! People take for granted the privilege of getting to go to college by not even using their degrees.
But what do you use that education for? TO GET A JOB duh
Danielle Yothathone But by just going to university to learn you are wasting your time and money. Someone else with hopes to pursue a career in the field which they get a degree from could have taken her spot.
Danielle Yothathone Notice how ridiculous your point is considering the difference in price. Most of the time extracurricular activities are used for children to figure out what their good at.
Some (most) people need to have certain rules- "you go to college for a REAL job". But You are breaking the rule with that artistic confidence I love so much. You actually RADIATE intelligence and one can see that you know how to play this game :) 'It's always the mad mad men and wild wild women who change the world'
Oh my gosh I listened to every second of this and it is perfect. You are so strong and such an inspiration. YOU DO YOU GIRL AND SHOW EM YOU’RE SUCCESSFUL IN YOUR UNIQUE WAY. That’s all that matters❤️❤️
People are so stupid and close minded. You are doing what you want to. This is a job and you teach too. You are doing the things you love. Sounds like you learned a lot. You learned how to live the life you want. People say rude things because they are jealous and think everything should be the standard way.
Being a TH-camr allows you to travel the world while making enough money to support yourself.
You went to Harvard and now you're traveling the world...sounds perfect to me. You do you, Yes. You seem happy and healthy. People will never be satisfied. I fully support you.
"Just because you're good at something doesn't mean you have to do it & just because you don't do something now doesn't mean you can't do it later"

I respect your decision.
And i don't
@@reformed5786 No
Hi bob
It's the Privilege you have the people who say these comments are mad about. Privilege will either help you or bring you down. In my case I'm privileged based on where I live (In a 3rd world Country) my parents send me of to private schools and such. But I would never get into schools such as Harvard, Yale, etc. Because the middle class in my country does not equate to yours. It's interesting to be in a environment of intellectual people, but in my case of being in a middle class family watching half my countrymen suffer makes you think about the injustices of the world much more. Which makes what some people have weight much more to me, I can't do what I want (Art) after college because I would not make much money for myself and most importantly my family. Therefore I push myself to study harder, get scholarships in college and help my family.
I think the problem people have with you going to Harvard but ultimately deciding to start a youTube career is the fact that you took the spot of someone who could have been a Politician, Scientist, Academic or Business Entrepreneur. Hard to pinpoint because I don't know your degree or area of study. I have this feeling its either business or liberal arts.
Since you choose a career in entertainment, it seems like an opportunity cost to society, not necessarily to you, although the comments are directed at your supposed bad judgement. I am not talking about money and a job. I am talking about the overall contribution to society.
As someone who loves art and how it is under valued in society, I have a sympathetic and a bit more optimistic view of your choice. Conan O'Brian went to Harvard and ended up in comedy. He brings joy and enriches people's lives with his humor. With someone who is use to a high standard, I hope this continues to be reflected in your channel. Also, I hope you cover "more serious" topics with insight and wit. Pressure is privilege and I hope you take all that negativity and turn it into something great.
This isn't 60 years ago. The majority of people will never have only one career. We wont have that security! It's shifting in the way employers hire. They dont care what your degree was in,, they care that you have a degree and have critical thinking skills. They then weigh more on what skill sets you hold. She did not choose a career. She chose a temp job. More varying background experiences can later add up to a very specialized awesome job! Shes not limiting her future self like most people do. She's smart.
You are definitely not wasting your Harvard degree, because your videos show it. Do what makes you happy and I'm glad your a TH-camr:)
I agree. Maybe she wouldn't have been able to give her subscribers some awesome study tips or insights on harvard & life if it wasn't for going to Harvard. I mean, it's best to listen to harvard-related content by a harvard student themselves :)
Reneau, I am a Chinese girl. I really like your videos and they give me inspirations and strength. Your impact is much more than those people can imagine. Keep going and I will always support u.
I am so happy you decided to address this, and may I add, in a very graceful manner. I honestly could not have said it better. My father always told me: "Once you get your degree, you can do whatever you want to do in life", obviously financial and career security is important for him. But you obviously have that security, (I mean you went to the best university in the world for crying out loud) and you definitely are a bright young woman who seems to have her goals set, and her head straight, which i look up to and admire very much. I have been watching your videos for a while now, and I am so glad that I stumbled upon your videos the first time I discovered you because you have become a huge role model to me. I just wanted to say that these comments were clearly written by closed minded people who have a hard time understanding that their ideals and opinions regarding success may not necessarily apply to everyone else in the world. So keep your head high, and you do you.
This was a great video. I remember when you first put out the video about what you're doing post geaduation, and while I didn't feel the need to comment a judgy, rude statement of my thoughts, I definitely was confused and felt that personally I wouldn't have made that same choice. But this video gave me a great understanding of why you did it and overall I think it gave me a lot of perspective. I'm about to start my final year of high school and the line you said about college not being for a job, but rather for personal enrichment, really resonated with me. In an environment where everyone around me seems obsessed with what degree/college gets what job and how much money each job will get, it was refreshing and frankly, inspiring to hear someone say what you did. Thank you, and keep making your awesome videos!!
You have a very clear and organized mind. Good for you!
please make a podcast! You are moving in the right direction as long as you are doing what you love!
Yes! I couldn't agree more with this video!
No tea, no shade, but pointing this out because it's increasingly common: there's a good chance there are no good job opportunities right off the bat for people with BAs even from Harvard. Alot of degrees are fairly useless no matter where you get them. I have a useless BA as well and that's why I went to professional school after. It's just what college has become now a days. Undergrad is a money scam 90% of the time. I can tell you as someone who spent almost a decade in university and has worked in the real world you learn way more and meet many more different people in a real job then you ever could at college.
If I am ever getting into Harv, you madame, shall be the one who motivated me to do so...keep them videos coming,.,,lots of love
Really like how you're so strongly opinionated on this topic. I think once someone is subjected to massive amounts of opinions it starts to affect their judgment (i.e. No one likes this about me so I'll change it even though I like it). So proud of you and your journey :)
Dont limit yourself to just one thing. Explore and try things that you have a passion for or love. If you dont do something you love you'll be miserable your whole life. And i think you're doing a very good job in exploring your new passions. Dont let the miserable haters faze you taylor 💪👌
"Use it don't abuse it"
Omg i love her 😂😂
PASSION, I LOVE IT! There need to be more people that live for themselves instead of others. I seen it all in my friends and luckily, I was raised by my parents to pursue a career that I want. Money is important but it also isn't everything. I support your decision and hope your youtube chanel continues to grow simultaneously while reaching out to help many more students!
Even though I completely respected your decision and how you live YOUR life, I did find it strange why a Harvard graduate would be pursuing TH-cam, but after watching this video I fully understand your reasoning and I actually agree with it.
Issa Rae went to Stanford and started her career on TH-cam. Now she is writing for HBO. No one has the right to judge anyone's path. 👏 Congrats on all of your accomplishments thus far, Ms. YesRNeau (I know it's spelled wrong)! You still have a lot of life to live, and I want to thank you for sharing your journey with the world.
Yes it is super respectable that she's doing what she is passionate about but 7 million views is still only about $7,000 over three years which isn't livable and that's why I think some people are looking at her living off of who knows what now that she's home, yet being able to comfortably sit on a prestigious college degree. It's that ridiculous privilege that some people are mad at, not that she isn't "successful", just very few people have that opportunity to be in a situation like hers.
Yup, I totally agree with your points. She has this privilege but at the end of the day if she is able to afford doing what she's doing, I think people should at least try to understand that rather than jump to conclusions and place value judgments.
Silas Swanson It's not priveledge... It's hard work. Work hard and you can achieve anything you want (to a point). She worked hard and got to where she is now.
Scholarbound What he meant by privilege is the privilege to be able to focus on things other than money, which you can see from her lack of concern or worry towards how she finances her studies at Harvard, which some can't afford even if they were able to be accepted by the university.
foureyeswonder But she gained that privilege through hardwork (scholarships, jobs, etc.)
Thanks to their endowment, Harvard has the most generous financial aid policy in the world. If you can get accepted, they will make sure you can afford to attend. Their main concern is to attract the best and brightest regardless of financial background. Only the most elite schools like Harvard and Stanford can afford to do this. That is likely why she is not too concerned about finances.
It's about credential-ism. That's what it's all about. You need a degree to show EVERY employer, that you have it in you to stick with something and succeed at it. You have a great channel btw. I think the reason so many people here are upset is because MOST undergrad students who graduate with a bachelor's degree have a really hard time getting a job after. What happens most often is they end up as an assistant manager somewhere for several years and at some point give up on themselves a little and become a substitute teacher and make no more than 34K a year. So when you graduate from the most prestigious institution in the world and just leave the Harvard degree locked away in the file cabinet and pursue youtube, many people here get a sour taste in their mouth. So many people graduating from public universities are spending 2 decades or more after they graduate just trying to land a 100K job. Then they see you on here with a Harvard degree and could easily land a 200K job within six months of graduating Harvard. I know none of us need to go to college, but the name of the game presently is "credential-ism".
Also, for all the people using curse words to explain every point they make....ease up a bit.
what's great is yenreneau mentioned if she ever wants to switch paths at any time, she can. That's why having a degree is so important. It gives you more opportunity and options. The Harvard degree is something no one can take away from her.
I love that you are so passionate about simply doing what you want to do and LOVING what you do. It's truly refreshing and inspiring.
Casualmente ayer meditaba sobre "¿por qué vamos a la universidad?". Tu opinión me ha iluminado un poco :)
This video is so validating for you YesReneau, I love your approach to criticizm
I honestly don't understand some people. You are amazing and have really helped driven me academically. Love your content...🤗
driven if thats wrong I just woke up
Very powerful words
I don't know if I should continue doing my business degree or pursue something else. Your message speaks to me but I have no idea what else I wanna do in life. I think I'm better off going the easy way and making my mind up after graduation.
Society is so stuck on "real jobs". They either want corporate 9-5 or it doesn't count. Do what you want to, and make money how you want and live how you want and be happy. Mad respect for you and this channel. I hope comments like these can outweigh the negative ones.
This way of thinking just amazes me... i jus, idk... we need more ppl like you in this world... We often forget that we are humans, that we are completely different and that there're no rules when it comes to the "success" meaning. I am not priviliged, and in my country i have to work really really hard just to have the opporunity of getting into my dream school, which is public 'cause i have no money.... sooo the thing is i'm putting effort on everything i'm doing and i'm really scared... i just turned 18 but i see the world and life with completely different eyes. Thanks YesReneau for sharing this part of your life and your knowledge with us.. You're awesome and Keep up the amazing work!!
They only reason they are criticizing you is because they are jealous that you got into Harvard and they didn't(or will never get into). You are a very cool and intelligent person.
I stoked you kept making TH-cam videos. You've had a positive influence on my life. Do what makes you happy. I thoroughly enjoyed your response to those comments.
Don't listen to the rude comments. There is so much negativity towards just about anyone these days. I saw a Gawker article trying to claim Brandon Stanton of Humans of New York is just self interested and using people for his benefit. I've seen negative comments making fun of the Dailai Lama and Desmond Tutu for their beliefs. There will always be negativity and it's sad how much there is sometimes, but you definitely have enough supporters to not have to give into their negativity. You do you.
i like how this video is so serious but its you still make it lighthearted
You rock and you should ignore the hate because haters will hate
Keep living your dream and if you believe in yourself you will be happy and get everything you want whether it be money or fame and i and many others will always believe in you.
What you've spoken about in this video is absolutely true. Keep doing more. Thanks :)
When I watch your videos I get happy.
I can agree so much with you! You can literally do a bootcamp for coding and become a programmer/web developer/etc! My mom became a producer at a top Korean broadcasting company (5 years ago) from making church videos even though she had a degree in business. It is truly the individual-not the school-who shapes their future! I can also agree with something you said in the middle of the video. I didn't take my AP Physics C E&M and Mechanics just to get a high grade and have a better college application (in fact it actually lowered my GPA), but because I wanted to surround myself with individuals who loved to challenged themselves and were different from all my friends who just liked to shop and gossip!
To begin with, you did not waste your Harvard degree. It will stay with you! You are doing what you are happy with what you are doing and that's what counts. I really admire the fact that you are highly educated and yet you are very easy-going. Don't listen to the remarks of these people.
I think that culture and social status are the reasons why these people reacted in certain ways. If I've watched this video a few years back, I would have said the same negative things. Acquiring a good education in a poverty stricken society is the most usual way to get out of it. Therefore, the notion of education equates to money is ingrained to us since childhood. I was only able to get out of that mentality when our financial situation improved and I can finally see 'the' world and not just 'our' world.
Taylor, I actually admire your bravery and your videos help me form my own journey and find my real purpose. Thank you for being an inspiration to all of us.
PS: book recommendations video would be awesome ✌
I highly respect your decision. Travel teaches people things a book can't.
Hello Yes! You answered so well and honestly to those comments. I recognise that I shared their questions somehow. Anyways, I prefer the way you see your situation and also the fact that you use this gift genuinely given to human beings: freedom! You explain it the most with this I think: "It is not because you can do something that you must do it". Another idea I loved is this one "You don't go to college in order to get a job but going to college can help you getting a job". Shades shades shades! Thank you sooo much! Stay true, stay this fress and refresshing, stay free, be happy! All the best!
You are my favorite TH-camr lately. I just graduated with a degree in English lit and as much as I've learned, I'm working as an assistant manager at a restaurant.. not really using my degree. What you've said.. completely changed my outlook.. my college courses were so enriching, it challenged my world views constantly, quenched my thirst for learning, and I got to learn so much about myself.. whether I use my degree or not, I wouldn't give up my experience and education for anything. I love this video and the way your mind works.. this has really opened my eyes and mind to the possibilities for my own life! ❤️❤️ I adore you!
Don't worry about it! I respect your decision and I understand why you did it! All the power to you 💪💪 Stay awesome^^
It's sad that people cant worry about themselves Reneau went to Harvard AT LEAST SHE WENT TO COLLEGE AND AN IVY LEAGUE ONE AT THAT
YOU (referencing the video about caps lol) are BEAUTIFUL :D I hope you read this comment. Thank you for saying success is what we define for yourselves. Im a sophomore in my city university and you are so inspiring
Totally agree with the points she made!!
Fuck the haters, all your videos have helped me plan out my future and focus on my long term goals. Keep doing you.
Love your ideas, such an inspiring video. Can you do one on your favorite books/books that impacted you the most? Think it'd be really interesting...xd
You're expressing exactly the way I currently feel. I think not just Harvard graduates but a lot of college graduates feel the same way. Your videos does make an impact and it makes me feel better watching this, knowing someone else feels the same way. People leave negative comments due to jealousy. You should be proud that you can live your own version of your life and has an independent mind with dreams and hopes for life. I am now currently subscribed to support you on your TH-cam journey and I hope to see many more videos from you. :)
Unless they are very financially well off, no one is spending 200 grand to not use a degree. “Why not go to Harvard for the experience?” Because 👏🏼 most 👏🏼 people 👏🏼 can’t 👏🏼 pay 👏🏼 that 👏🏼 loan 👏🏼 back 👏🏼 without 👏🏼 using 👏🏼 that 👏🏼 prestigious 👏🏼 degree
Angie Seminara Louder for those in back 🗣🗣🗣
How do u know she spent that much
Harvard is NOT 200k unless you're making dough, I'm talking 500k income. Do their NPC and see what you would pay.
@Andree Honestly people are so quick to go and spread stereotypes they've heard but haven't bothered to look into.
@@cooperlloyd2494 exactly this. it annoys me when people don't do their research before making these unfounded claims.
@YesRenau people are going to talk regardless whether your doing good or bad,even with or without a college degree people still talk about someone else so use the haters as motivation because your actually following your dreams something not many people do or are afraid of doing so and I look up to you because your a strong woman and you made it to Harvard because you deserve it regardless of what anyone else says plus it's your life and keep living it to the fullest best of luck in your on going Journey and don't forget God is always their by your side.#cheerstoyou#yournotalone #treatpeoplethewayyouwanttobetreated
But its not that easy... not everyone can go for education itself because college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars & it's a big commitment & burden and you need a college degree to find a job that can actually pay a sustainable salary that you can live off of. Not everyone can just go to college and then decide not to do anything with their degree that they paid for..
she has no idea. seems like mom and dad fund these hopes and dreams of hers.
Or she probably got a full scholarship to a top school. I attend another top school and I don't pay a dime. People are mad because of the social position she is in. Be happy for her.
Ja dk But you get that she is not everyone but she is she. Not anyone else. What others do is irrelevant.
She paid for it, she’s allowed to do whatever she wants... people are so close minded
This video was just what I needed to hear. I completely get you, and for so many years I thought I was crazy for thinking exactly what you are describing here. Of course I did not go to Harvard, but I went to a fricking expensive, well ranked university and I just don’t feel any 9-5 job suits me, and I have been trying to “fit in” as everyone expects for me to be in an office. I just recently lost my office job and I decided that I will go after what I want and find my own idea of “success” and I am happy I came across your video.
WOW. I JUST STUMBLED ON YOUR CHANNEL AND I MUST SAY - IT'S REFRESHING TO SEE A SMART, FUNNY WOMAN SPEAK HER MIND.
You go! Sheesh why did I just find this channel?! Relate so much with everything you said, I’m a Stanford alum taking the freelance/ entrepreneurial route and not the typical IB or Google, Facebook jobs. Speak life and continue to make that impact. Earned yourself a new subscriber 👌🏽👌🏽
Life is all based on ones actions. YesReneau.....you do you. Whatever makes you happy is what I always vaguely say.
Man, I love all these "Harvard Experts" who never set foot on the campus and don't have a successful TH-cam channel. You guys are totally educating Taylor. Where would she be without all you guys??
Out of your top 20 videos on youtube, 17 have "Harvard" in the title. You won't be making 6 figures in 5 years off of that alone and your other content doesn't seem to get many views. Sorry. Honest truth.
LMFAOO
SAVAGE 😂
Maybe having "Harvard" so often in the titles is just about healing the "unconscious jealousy" most of the people who click on them have because of this pedestal we place ivy graduates on. The whole point of this video was to prove that it's not about the money she makes out of TH-cam or anything related with what the society expects from a Harvard graduate. After watching her videos for the past 6 months I have a better and more down-to-earth perception about Harvard and I think we should all thank her for that.
@@meowcules the quotation after the period...kind of ironic how..you know
You are a genius and have such a beautiful soul. That is why Harvard accepted you. I measure success by literally living up to you.
being a youtuber can be a real job nowdays... those who don't get that are detached from today's realities.
I think it's awesome that you're a TH-camr! I love your content😊
I find having a degree a bonus! You received a great education & if TH-cam were to become obsolete overnight, you just so happen to have your degree to fall back on. Plus, I find TH-camrs who are in school or went to school, way more relatable.
Keep doing you, girl!
Love your perspectives on the value of your degree. As a fellow Harvard grad, much older than you, I can attest to all that you have said. "Success" does indeed mean very different things to different people, or to the same person at different stages of his or her life. While you and I share the experience of a Harvard education, there are many other paths to success in life, however you choose to define it. The key, as you are demonstrating by the choices you are making, is to be open to experiences, to be willing to pursue different or nontraditional avenues, and to never be afraid to choose a path that feels right for you - or as you so wisely point out, to choose not to take a path that others might want you to take. It is also important to not be afraid to fail, to have confidence in yourself to be able to recover from the curveballs life will inevitably throw at you. That self-confidence is the most valuable aspect of my Harvard experience, the knowledge that challenge is good and not be be feared. That is how I have lived my own life, and while I have never earned seven figures, I have made my own impacts in life, in ways that are meaningful to me. I consider my life to be very successful, and have never felt the slightest amount of regret at not letting money in and of itself guide my life decisions - though it is also important to make choices that allow you to support yourself and take care of other responsibilities in your life. Finding balance is key, and that is a continuous process in life. Keep up the good work!
I'm a viewer from Indonesia I have been watching your video and I'm going to college next year and I'm going to build my youtube career after high school because I have a passion on film making and you're such an inspiration and give me a positive and rational influence for me and I'm happy and love how you think and I'm supporting every decision as long as you're happy! You're living your dream and I also has thought about working in a office after college and it's already stressing me out because of the society pressure and people telling me success is based on how much money you makes. Anyway, Do what you love!
Lol she was pretty pissed you could tell
She also didn't hide the names of the people, and actually said them and showed them
I totally agree with you that success doesn’t have to equate with wealth! Your impact on TH-cam has pushed me to be more focused on college and for me to follow my dreams!
I'd say you make about $300 a month from youtube. How can you even afford to live? You said you live in France or something like that, so I know it's expensive. Something tells me that you're still depending on your parents' bank account
Truth...
a lot of it came out of this video!
Great job YesReneau!
Getting a "normal" "job" is NOT the dream. I think its digusting that people think that going to Harvard has anything to do with being so mediocre as to get a job. Going to Harvard means you are a more mature person with higher intellect who can CHANGE THE WORLD. Screw a friggin JOB!! And btw, you cannot make 7-figures from a j-o-b... people in your comments are delusional. YesReneau, you have the RIGHT MINDSET! Keep doing what you love that has NO PAY CEILING!
Thanks for sharing, this was great to hear today. I struggle a lot with my career path, I am barely starting to make stuff happen, 3 years after graduation and I still keep questioning if I have been wasting my degree, if art it is even something I want to do.
But yes, it all comes to perspective. As a Mexican citizen, success to me is having the experience of studying for 5 years, getting my degree in the US and being able to write this comment in another language and communicate with others (with mistakes and all).
It would be FANTASTIC if you had a podcast
Thank you so much for this ! I completely agree with you. I think that education is the most powerful thing that someone can have and it's a blessing to be able to learn new things every day.
I have an other question, if you liked the prestigious and diverse Harvard universe, why didn't you continue your studies and did a master in an other prestigious university, maybe in an other country? In order to meet people that think even differently from you with other backgrounds?
Benjamin Desso she’s getting her master’s at TU Munich, so she’s doing exactly what you said in this video :)
Yeah Reneau! Love the comments about being heard and considered, also the diversity of goals of Harvard students!
Wow! Again another great video
Girl pat yourself on the back again! You deserve the best applause not only for being able to articulate yourself so well and address those comments but for handling critique so well. I admire the fact how strong is your spirit. One thing I always struggled was to not have the patience to make a point to others and as a result I simply cut those people off from my life. Now watching your video I question myself maybe I could have put more effort and at least TRY to explain why I do what I do and not what they think is right to do. Anyways, you are doing great! Knowledge is a priceless experience and people who left you those comments clearly didn’t grasp the meaning of a college. College doesn’t equal to money or job (college ❌💰or college ❌🛄) like most people think. Thank you for being you and please keep posting more videos. I love your topics.
"I didn't go to college with the purpose of obtaining a job afterward."
I know I'm a year late, and she seems really sweet and inspiring and all, and the college experience is a great and important one,
but that's...that's literally the purpose of college
Priya Yeah it is.... as a college student its not logical to say you didn't go to college to get job. Why would you go if you didn't intend to get a job? Makes no sense considering the opportunity cost.
I appreciate your Videos, you do TH-cam with Ease. You are definitely in the Right Place!
I want to know what this girl talks about outside of college and Harvard.
I have watched many of your videos, as a matter of fact, I'm a 'bell' subscriber (lol bell subscriber 😂). But this was definitely one of my favorite videos (talk sess). What I see in society these days is persons going to college only for the purpose of getting a Job; so much so that they study things that they really are not interested in but they do it anyway because they'll definitely get a job after university. And when I saw this in the world, I kinda felt alone because college for me is a place to feed my intellectual curiosity, learn new skills , meet new people and everything else is an icing on the cake. But this video, and a lot of the comments that are attached to it show that I'm not really alone after all.
You go Reneau... Follow your dreams and enjoy doing what you do best.
💓👏👏👏💓
In short she wasted her harvard degree but she has her happiness. I still support you.
Nah I don't think she did. It all depends on what one expects to get out of a university. Some people go to Harvard for different reasons : experience, chance to make a ton of money, learn more stuff, etc. She probably learned a lot in harvard so I guess that's pretty worth it lol.
I meant her degree. I got your point btw!
she has the degree forever.. it would be wasted if she dropped out before graduating... If ten years from now she wants a regular job, she's still on the top of the list..
joshua Abing Youtubing should be hobby. Tomorrow TH-cam may change its monitization or something...
Vincent Karanja I doubt that. She will be an old graduate with zero experience with long gap years.
You can simply hear it in her voice, in her words that she's not wasting her Harvard degree. Her mindset and wisdom is not going to waste. Her voice and platform is doing far more than her sitting at a desk job.
Haha yet her haters are still subscribed to her and watch her videos and are also on TH-cam when they tell her why is she on TH-cam...same question goes to those haters like let her be#hypocrite#haters #laughoftheday
Daniela Rosales they are not haters....it's her subscribers who have different views than her ...regarding Harvard degree and doing TH-cam full-time.
robert lee Then if their believes don't match her believes either way then why are they still subscribed to her like why are they so triggered over her not using her degree maybe she went to Harvard in case something doesn't go the way she hopes she will at least know she has her degree and what she is doing is a JOB...it's consuming her time and she's is giving the best she can and she is and obviously she is not settling because she keeps making videos.
Daniela Rosales just because we think she wasted her degree doesn't mean we are haters. It means we are realists
Angie Seminara but it doesn't give y'all the right to bash her with curse words like that was totally out just because it wasn't in y'all view the way y'all view the situation
Daniela Rosales I didn't.
I am so thankful that you have that kind of mindset because without it I can't learn how to learn. You really help me a lot and once again I want to thank you for that. Please continue what your doing even if SOME people don't agree with it . You always have US no matter what.
There are many colleges that cost the same as Harvard. If a youtuber went to one of those colleges and decides to try to pursue a career in youtube nobody cares. But because its Harvard everyone loses their shit.
Honestly if one is capable of acquiring a degree from the most prestigious college in the world, that individual certainly knows their limits and how far can they achieve more. All the best for youtube YESRENEAU. We have faith in you and you can certainly achieve success at anything you give a try to!!!!
In California you can't teach without a degree.
There are a lot of jobs that you can't do without a degree. You're def. speaking from a privileged standpoint! I don't know anyone around me who is just going to college, to go to college. that seems lit tbqh. Esp. considering a school like Harvard.
her family got cheese don't listen to this girl LMFAOO
exactly lmao
Maybe you don't know anyone that is creative enough to think of/find jobs that don't have degrees as mandatory requirements.
A teacher usually isn't even going to be the magic 7-figure job Harvard was supposed to get her... Unless you risk it on a biscuit as a "teacher" online, on like... TH-cam or something (which doesn't require a degree).
I will point out that she explicitly said that she wasnt talking about careers and jobs that require a degree. Admittedly she only specified doctor and lawyer, but she didnt excluded other jobs.
i guess you haven't woke up,maybe your degree makes you more dumb instead of smart julia roberts
YesReneau I love your videos and I'm a fan. With all the comments saying "You're wasting a Harvard degree for TH-cam" is just self centered and inconsiderate of those people to be telling YOU what to do in life. At the end of the day it's YOUR life and whatever makes YOU happy that's what you should be doing.
i understand your choices.
RENEAU! Thank you so much for this! It saddens me to see that there are many people who our outsiders to these elite school who think they can tell you what you can and can not do with your degree. I go to a school within the top five (according to the national college rankings), and so many people misunderstand the purpose of these elite schools and the people who compose them. They are multi faceted people just like any where else but the recieveing an education like no other in order to interpret it however and and anyway they want in the future.
