Here I go again sacrificing my dignity for content. Being a loser in high school humbled me pretty good. And it taught me a few things that you might be interested in learning too. But I'm barely an adult and still have a lot more to figure out, so take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt. It's not that serious. Plus tips to get into college lol.

    This is UNC-Chapel Hill lol. The mental health crisis there was real. Crushed my dreams of pursuing anything in healthcare before I even had the chance to explore it. I graduated and now work at a different university of a similar size, but it has a less “prestigious” reputation. The culture is so different- people really love it here and it shows. Professors are great as well and really care for their students. Also, this is a PSA to not join Greek life. Just don’t do it.

I graduated with no internships or experience. If your parents attempt to force you into college, show them the job market, and SCREAM at them. DO NOT GO FOR THEM!! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!

    I got a likely letter from Columbia and from Johns Hopkins for the bme program. My dream my entire life was to go into medicine and research, and I truly felt compelled towards Hopkins for that reason. My dad agreed, but all my friends said that medicine would not make me “rich by 30” and I would be in debt. They told me to go to Columbia and study finance, as there is a strange fixation with youth over jobs that allegedly would provide the quickest path to riches, morality and true substance of the career aside. I am heavily leaning towards Johns Hopkins now after watching this video. I want to be a doctor, I want to truly add to this world, not make my career off of exploiting people. Thank you for this video :)

    I agree with your suggestions for alternative career paths... mostly. Unfortunately these fields (like medicine, agriculture) still face the same brokenness to the core of being infiltrated by people fully invested of squeezing every last cent they can out of their fellow citizen. I just completed my bachelor's degree and clinical year as a medical laboratory scientist, and like many others who chose medicine, I went into this with the goal of helping others. Now I am starting to see that my skills are being reduced to nothing more than a pawn used by the financially ambitious to appear more legitimate while they swindle the masses. This is done by some part by the hospitals themselves, but the much larger player in this are the insurance companies. Doctors, in spite of their decade + of highly skilled training, get it far worse in the agency they deserve to act on being revoked. Similar wars are being waged on those who desire an honest career in agriculture, though I am not too familiar with the ins-and-outs of that. I wish this idea of "leave and pursue goodness and those who work maliciously will leave you alone" truly happened, but anywhere these people see as a place to make money, they are there, working dililgently to suck that pool dry without a care for the future. It is egregious behavior and I don't see any solution that does not involve extreme conflict.

      @beanmeupscotty 3 месяца назад

      @lynako2546 any position you're in requires you to make decisions that will affect others, though. I guess that's the shittiest thing about entering this stage of life, is realizing how a lot of choices to change anything for good requires swimming upstream, but you don't have the time/resources to choose that path every single time.

    When I was your age I had the same opinion, now I realize that everyone has a certain lifestyle standard below which they feel undignified. For most people that's the middle to upper-middle class lifestyle. To make the minimum $80 - 100 k reliably you need a corporate job or be really good at machining. And if you come from a family that has never done labour, corporate it is. So people pursuing corporate jobs may not be chasing status, just normalcy. And steady money is important for things such as starting a family and allowing your child to be able to pay medical school
