Hey, can you shoot a version of this video with advices for those who live in countries with stronger labour laws (most of the world really)? The gig economy is not as strong everywhere.
In my experience, I really regret not getting a degree until just last week. Believe it or not, 25 years ago people were saying you didn't need a degree either. Most of the people I graduated HS with that went to college ended up far more successful than the ones that didn't go. The ones that didn't go to college but did end up successful did so by learning skills and starting businesses. So yeah, you might not need college, but unless you plan on being super proactive and starting your own business, a degree still unlocks too many gates to not get.
The Degree is a safety net where you also meet a lot of people and future professionals in your and other areas of expertise willing to learn and work. It also trains you to be a quick learner na go through hard times to develop especially if you take a degree in STEM fields.
This is me, did a BSc in Physics, then a MSc in math. I finished in Dec 2021 and started job hunting in 2022. I was going after ML jobs but honestly was kinda a lost soul and didn't really know what I wanted to do so struggled a lot and wasn't able to land a job before the tech layoffs. Ever since then getting interviews has been brutal - even did a DS bootcamp, multiple career coaches, went after DA and software jobs, etc. - unemployed for 2.5 years now while miserable stuck in my parents basement in the middle of nowhere in Canada lol. The only glimmer of hope I've seen is from building my personal brand on LinkedIn/twitter in which people contact me for shorter term contract roles. One of them almost panned out too - was with an early stage startup that didn't really know what they were building, but they were initially down to hire me and they reached out to me from a random twitter post I made (no interview either). Since then I've doubled down on content creation - this is the way.
The market's tough, but I can't imagine that the demand for advanced math degrees dried up. Maybe get a job with some employer like a telecom place to get a little experience first and maybe that will help. Pretty much what I had to do when first breaking into IT.
In my experience employment is all about value creation and risk mitigating ROI through your theme to solve your problem or societal problems. Your example of value creation can be teaching what you paid to learn for free. Because you paid for it, there is inherent market value. You can slowly monetize on social media helping your followers avoid the high risk of costly college with its questionable ROI. What’s missing is your theme, your purpose which can be expressed in your startup. The high ROI low cost way to do things is to find your theme, your purpose, then manifest it by getting AI to code it for free. The best themes and startups solve your problem or irk. If not yours, your friends or family. Being useful to others is a gateway to success. If you just want a job and don't know what to create, blue collar trades are hiring. That way you can have a good, well paying career without needing to know your purpose. Just hide your degrees on your resume as it is a red flag that you paid for something that is free.
When deciding on a career or starting a freelance business, it's important to consider the level of support you can receive from your family, including references, financial assistance, and connections. If your family lacks financial resources, business connections, or educational backgrounds, obtaining a degree could be beneficial. Not only does it provide you with essential education, but it also helps you build valuable connections.
Shiny Tina is my favorite Pokémon. Jokes aside I hope you are doing well Tina. I always look forward to your videos. I think the way you speak is very calming. Please don’t stop creating! On the topic of this video. Life in interesting.. I went down a career path in healthcare just because I felt like I was supposed to. Bachelors, Masters and eventually Doctorate. Then I continued to get multiple specializations. Now I work at one of the best children’s hospitals in the nation and I’m paid well… but now I am considering changing careers and even though I only work 3 days a week (long shifts) I feel unsettled. If I could go back my approach would be much different for many reasons.
my major is statistics and my cgpa is defn far below my goal and it really demotivates me. i feel like i am late for so many things it is too late to be successful but hearing you talk about these stuff really helps me. thank u tina!! love u
Dude, I turn 40 this year... I can promise you it's never too late and you are never as behind as you think. But giving up will make you behind...if you get what I'm saying. Bottom line: you're fine.
I had no idea you were so young because you sound so experienced. I thought you were a young-looking forty-year-old. You are correct about attending junior college first to finish fundamentals and get an associate's degree; that is the way to go! I look for people with two-year degrees in computer science, network engineering, and electric engineering technology. They are the best balance between hard workers and scholastically oriented workers. We pay for bachelor's degrees for those who prove themselves.
I saw this video of the korean guy. Yeah, I agree with your opinion, we need to be careful when making those decisions.... like a pros and cons for myself. I guess most influencers just sell the "one fits all", and that's the AWESOME part about you. You're very reasonable and explain very clearly!
dearest tina iam 64 yers old man i learned alot from your videos how to teach to young people you are so good must share you r gifted please make video about learning how to learn and importance of unlearning too there is great need for that stay blessed
It feels so relevant unfortunately( I had to switch careers a few years ago. So now I'm a 30+ junior in my new field. My first/current job was/is a "humble pie", which paid almost minimum wage at the beginning. And I worked like dog. But I'm very grateful for the opportunity. Hopefully soon with some years of experience, I can look for something better. Fingers crossed!
Recently the White House announced the removal of college degree requirements for many of the IT jobs. If I had the the opportunity to do it all of again I would rather have gone to college to the Philippines were cost is far cheaper.
I would advise to go to EU instead like through Erasmus scholarships etc or through their open universities. The cost is cheaper but at least at par with the current trends in the US. The Philippines has an outdated and struggling educational system, especially if you are taking STEM - the system is not as exposed to the current trends and problems. Unless you make it into the good schools there like Ateneo, La Salle or UP Diliman, then the prospects will be a bit better. Sad to say, despite the massive potential of Filipinos, their education system is designed to churn out mass labour - not thinkers, innovators, scientists etc.
I paid about $5k for community college and then got my last 2 years for free through my employer. Many employers do this. It stinks to work while studying, but when you are done you have no debt.
Education in the Philippines ranks one of the lowest in the world. So getting higher education would still be seen as less in developed markets. Something to also keep in mind when factoring this decision.
I started as a university history major, but soon found it to be a dead-end career. I did a 180 and started looking in the technical degrees. I knew I couldn’t compete with the guys who had prepared since high school, so I got jobs at the university and internship jobs to get a foot in the door in the technical field. I finally got a Co-op job at a big company and worked full-time one semester and went back to school the next semester in my junior year. It took me longer to get my degree, but I had a full-time position even before I graduated with my university degree.
I was a white collar worker for 10 years until the economy went to crap the last couple years. My most consistent source of income during this economic turmoil has been one of the trades. I am a cute white girl entering a workforce where I am an extreme minority but I adapted quickly. Actually, I wish I had started doing this when I was 18 instead of waiting. If only I had known about it! I've been able to get my foot in the door in an industry I've always dreamed of working in because of my willingness to do manual labor and work with my hands.
Yes ! Please do a video on how to start a freelancing business in 2024!! Ps: i always saw you as someone who is super organized. In fact, your videos have been the most organized , to the point and super useful and up to date videos ive seen so far! Im trying to break into tech and before finding your chanel i was so lost on where to start! But in each video you make i find that i always go back to the knowledge i learned in those videos in order to keep going forward.so far, your videos have been sooo useful
I'm currently going into my 2nd academic year working on my Bachelor's of Science-Data Science degree program through University of Phoenix. I'm working on getting more hands on experience with soth programming and engineering through various online classes (free) and saving for paid subscriptions. My issue I'm working on solving is gaining a certification,an getting tech experience to go with my degree. So once I graduate I'll have 2-3 certifications,a Bachelor's,o.n top of real world experience.
I'm a second year bachelor student in Artificial Intelligence working part time as a software engineer. I would recommend getting a basic cloud certification from AWS, Azure or Google Cloud (look for jobs in your area and see which is in demand). I think it can make you stand out because cloud experience is pretty rare for students and most companies use it. It also really helps to have at least one decent project on github even if it's a school project. Good luck!
Interesting thing you brought up about having structures at school made it difficult. I work well in structure but thinking of switching to tech, now I'm kind of afraid 😅
Incredibly insightful, since I'm still discovering which path I really want to take based on how tech is evolving. I'm more so on the trade path, at least that's how it could probably pan out for me, but still stumbling on which stem field I could go for as well since that's always needed in society in different fields.
For who just want a dev job he normally don't need the degree but in today's/futures ai era you need to know more fundamentals than just coding which are basically taught in colleges and also if you want to do research and more of engineering type where they require more fundamentals that's where degree is mandatory i guess
I was pondering this recently as someone who’s switched careers before when they became overcrowded. I was wondering about data science and ai and whether they would still be in demand in 10-20 years when I retire. My thoughts are that they are good tools to know even if you specialize in something else. Thanks for the amazing insights as always!
Im always struggling to find a co-op. My problem is that I haven’t been prioritizing self-learning for the longest time, always thought that if I focused on school I’ll get a good job, obviously not the case. I’m thinking rn of maybe stepping back and taking whatever job I can get and in my free time to focus on learning, projects, working with professors or non profits. I dunno.
Terminology has changed over the years. Gig workers use to be call “Job Shoppers” who were hired only as long as the project money paid for their services and let go at the drop of a hat when they were no longer useful to the project.
I've been watching you for a long time and generally like your advice, but passion and the desire to change the world positively are always missing from these videos. You are always very money focused, so of course it will be difficult to find a job or not be satisfied. But if one's heart is in, say, virus research or creating general AI, one's path would be different.
Tina, I really appreciate you speaking up against tech gurus and execs like Jensen, they are always bringing more hype to the table, but that's more for the investors than us. Keep up the video quality! 😃
Tina huang, are u still in Beijing? Talk Abt the job market in china for tech workers? And is it worth considering working there. That would be interesting. Thank you.

A video about how to start freelancing would be perfect! Ive been thinking of starting to do freelance but i really dont know how i should go about it.
Please, i want a video about how to make a freelance career, i just now finished the "Google data analytics certificate", now i just want to be really good at Excel & SQL, because i enjoy using these tools, am 22 and unfortunately i had to redo my whole CS degree.
Where am I in my career? About to quit my job to get my masters in data science 😭 lol but on a positive note I'm going to Europe where it's way cheaper(:
I definitely agree, especially with the trades jobs. By default Trades usually lead you to be like a freelancer or a business owner. However, I don't think it's worth it long term if you'll keep working forever for other companies. I am encouraging people I know who don't like traditional school to do them. It can also be just a side job you do on the weekend. If you were good with your hands, what trades would you have considered? Curious since unfortunately they don't provide as much freedom of movement and require more physical work. I think you'd still have went down the business owner route no matter the field 👀
When I was traveling I met someone who is a freelance/traveling carpenter. And he built a business on Airbnb where he would go somewhere for maybe 2-3 months on a contract job and then renovate places to make into nomad houses on the side where he would place one of his people to run it. There’s so many ways that people figure out it’s so cool 😊 For the trades if my hands weren’t shit….I can’t even imagine my hands not being shit 😂 something that involves a lot of running around idk construction? Cleaning buildings?
Hi Tina, which one of the IBM courses is the one you recommend? For context, I am a 3rd year statistics undergraduate looking to get an internship next year. Very helpful video, thanks a lot! 🥰
If I could start over again, I would try to get adopted as a nepo baby and beg my rich parents for a job, sad! Failing that, probably do freelance like building websites or something like that. I went to study abroad and that was actually a super important experience for me, it was invaluable. It just didn't help me get a job at all. There's not many opportunities to go in other countries other then university, it's just unfortunate that they do nothing for your career.
My degree in marekting was useless. I can't get jobs in the field and I had a pretty good GPA. I am working in customer support now. I am kinda lost ngl.
I'm not good at math, I've always find it boring so what is there for us who are a better fit for human science, arts, music...? The world we live in has never valued these fields, but they are as important... i wont force myself to fit into a field that i know does not go with my abilities or skills, i could try but if I'm honest with myself i don't think i should force myself the same way if you are good in tech, force yourself to find history interesting. There has to be something and i know there is for ppl who simply care for human behavior
Hands down a two year or less associates at a technical school is more relevant in todays job market. Today the economy is unforgiving in high paying jobs such as people with a BS, MS and above. Now that the economy is slowing down and jobs are few, we are having a bottle neck of over qualified candidates that are flooding the market with zero experience. I've been in the game for a while and CITI will turn you down with zero banking experience, be it a VP or a low level analyst making 68k. So hands on training with industry leaders in state of the art labs will definitely give you a leg up. Better to get a technical degree and settle for 60k and say Tesla, Boeing, etc....and moonlight for 40-55k as a nighttime remote data entry clerk for a hospital / insurance or 65k working at a university on the campus night staff..... and then once the storm settles in the economy, jump into a high paying market with a University degree...but right now those degrees are useless.
Do you people think that Coursera certificates have any value to get a job? I'm not sure if it's worth paying for it or it's better to focus on just the learning.
I’m curious how some of this might change based on the prestige of the university. Most of these discussions lump all US schools together. Also curious if European graduates are also having the same experience
I think no matter the prestige it’s tough these days. Kid I talked to went to NYU for example and talking to my old UPenn professors it’s rough there too. I’ve also talked to many from Stanford and Berkeley in the Bay Area and still unemployed too Europe I feel less educated to comment on but good point I’ll try to focus internationally more too :)
I'm in last semester of bachelors in English. But I want to switch my career to tech or what ever will be in high demand in future. What would be your suggestions for someone like me? I really am desperate to have a high income career that's why I am starting all over again at this point. I need a clear road map and supportive resources that can lead me towards my goal and I'm willing to work my brains out for that for next 3-4 years. I genuinely need guidance.
How do you pay rent if you're literally working for free? This seems like very bad advice for young people unless they already come from a family with some wealth.
Plenty of work available. Just need to get off your arse. Just got back from a week at a Gold Mine in Papua New Guinea. Put in the effort and you'll be surprised at the opportunities that come your way.
I am conpletely debastated and should have went into medicine😂 my brother and all my cousins are doctors and AS RESIDENTS are making more money than me lmao
i don‘t understand how you want to work in ai if you don‘t have a degree in math or sth sry but it is not about using python libraries i work in research and what we do requires a good understanding of math 😅 i work in europe and we don‘t have any pre-job tests here. if you made it to a msc they believe you can write code 😅 and can learn anything bcs you had to. what a degree teaches you is far beyond what a udemy course can teach you 😅
I would watch this video every year. Compared to last year, this time there's more emphasis on freelancing and even more data to back the increasing redundancy of college degrees. A new approach was provided to seek jobs and financial security. This time it's even targeted towards Ivy league graduates. Even they should consider this method, that's how tough the market is right now. There's also a note on the importance of Trades and how they stand strong as a career despite the quick shift in white collar jobs. A business mindset alongside Trades and AI is something new that was mentioned and extremely powerful. A lot of the news around AI in the video was only introduced this year. Most importantly, this time we are talking about a CAREER. Not how to learn Data science, not how to learn AI, but how to build a successful career, not just in tech, this applies to a lot of fields. It's widely different :) I'm sorry you feel it's the same video. If you really believe so, I can't help but feel sorry for you. I hope you get your life together.

Hey, can you shoot a version of this video with advices for those who live in countries with stronger labour laws (most of the world really)? The gig economy is not as strong everywhere.
pls continue on the freelancing structure’s plan, Tina!
In my experience, I really regret not getting a degree until just last week. Believe it or not, 25 years ago people were saying you didn't need a degree either. Most of the people I graduated HS with that went to college ended up far more successful than the ones that didn't go. The ones that didn't go to college but did end up successful did so by learning skills and starting businesses.
So yeah, you might not need college, but unless you plan on being super proactive and starting your own business, a degree still unlocks too many gates to not get.
Depends on the field!
The Degree is a safety net where you also meet a lot of people and future professionals in your and other areas of expertise willing to learn and work. It also trains you to be a quick learner na go through hard times to develop especially if you take a degree in STEM fields.
Kindly make a video on how to start a freelancing business a gig economy business in 2024

Tina, I really appreciate you speaking up against tech gurus and execs like Jensen, they are always bringing more hype to the table, but that's more for the investors than us. Keep up the video quality! 😃
Tina huang, are u still in Beijing? Talk Abt the job market in china for tech workers? And is it worth considering working there. That would be interesting. Thank you.
Can you please elaborate more on these specialised skill sets and ways to diversify that you would go for?
Smart streamer. Go Tina!
Hi Tina, thanks for the video. Could do a video on what course you would recommend on coursera please.
I hope you create a session about freelancing.
This was super informative Tina. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how to start a freelancing/gig economy business in this environment.
Yes, kindly make a video on that topic. This was very helpful video
Agree!
I would absolutely watch the video about freelancing in 2024.
The shine from your face is blinding me, but hey, the video was helpful!
I graduated last week and already have 3 freelance projects 😢😢😢😢 im overwhelmed
Why is her face always like there is one thing on it? Is there something she put on her face every time she is recording
Because she's using facial conditioner to keep her skin young and youthful... A 50 year old Asian woman who looks 25 isn't luck, it's shiny face conditioner
A video about how to start freelancing would be perfect! Ive been thinking of starting to do freelance but i really dont know how i should go about it.
Please, i want a video about how to make a freelance career, i just now finished the "Google data analytics certificate", now i just want to be really good at Excel & SQL, because i enjoy using these tools, am 22 and unfortunately i had to redo my whole CS degree.
Where am I in my career? About to quit my job to get my masters in data science 😭
lol but on a positive note I'm going to Europe where it's way cheaper(:
Hi Tina! very insightful video as always!
and I would like a video about how to find a freelance job as computer science student! please ! !!
I definitely agree, especially with the trades jobs.
By default Trades usually lead you to be like a freelancer or a business owner. However, I don't think it's worth it long term if you'll keep working forever for other companies.
I am encouraging people I know who don't like traditional school to do them. It can also be just a side job you do on the weekend.
If you were good with your hands, what trades would you have considered? Curious since unfortunately they don't provide as much freedom of movement and require more physical work. I think you'd still have went down the business owner route no matter the field 👀
When I was traveling I met someone who is a freelance/traveling carpenter. And he built a business on Airbnb where he would go somewhere for maybe 2-3 months on a contract job and then renovate places to make into nomad houses on the side where he would place one of his people to run it. There’s so many ways that people figure out it’s so cool 😊
For the trades if my hands weren’t shit….I can’t even imagine my hands not being shit 😂 something that involves a lot of running around idk construction? Cleaning buildings?
Always a good content ❤
Thank you Tina for sharing
I'd like you to make a video about how it is that you would start a freelancing/Gig economy business in 2024
Why is the algorithm slowly getting you less views? But you still appear in my feed
nice work
Yes do the freelance video next please ^_^
Hi Tina, which one of the IBM courses is the one you recommend? For context, I am a 3rd year statistics undergraduate looking to get an internship next year. Very helpful video, thanks a lot! 🥰
If I could start over again, I would try to get adopted as a nepo baby and beg my rich parents for a job, sad! Failing that, probably do freelance like building websites or something like that. I went to study abroad and that was actually a super important experience for me, it was invaluable. It just didn't help me get a job at all. There's not many opportunities to go in other countries other then university, it's just unfortunate that they do nothing for your career.
Great Video!!
great video
My degree in marekting was useless. I can't get jobs in the field and I had a pretty good GPA. I am working in customer support now. I am kinda lost ngl.
I'm not good at math, I've always find it boring so what is there for us who are a better fit for human science, arts, music...? The world we live in has never valued these fields, but they are as important... i wont force myself to fit into a field that i know does not go with my abilities or skills, i could try but if I'm honest with myself i don't think i should force myself the same way if you are good in tech, force yourself to find history interesting. There has to be something and i know there is for ppl who simply care for human behavior
Hands down a two year or less associates at a technical school is more relevant in todays job market. Today the economy is unforgiving in high paying jobs such as people with a BS, MS and above. Now that the economy is slowing down and jobs are few, we are having a bottle neck of over qualified candidates that are flooding the market with zero experience. I've been in the game for a while and CITI will turn you down with zero banking experience, be it a VP or a low level analyst making 68k. So hands on training with industry leaders in state of the art labs will definitely give you a leg up. Better to get a technical degree and settle for 60k and say Tesla, Boeing, etc....and moonlight for 40-55k as a nighttime remote data entry clerk for a hospital / insurance or 65k working at a university on the campus night staff..... and then once the storm settles in the economy, jump into a high paying market with a University degree...but right now those degrees are useless.
If I could start over, I’d be a stay at home dad and give up my manhood.
Do you people think that Coursera certificates have any value to get a job? I'm not sure if it's worth paying for it or it's better to focus on just the learning.
❤every word needs to be in quotes
10:25 NVDA CEO, his own success is getting him drunk and he is saying weird thing .. all this while I am coding at 10pm
we need a freelance video!!!
Never been this early! :)❤
I have 1.5 years to complete my bachelor in Software development
Posting fake job openings should be illegal. Don't you think other employees will notice when no one gets hired for a while?
Really could use a gig economy business video
I’m curious how some of this might change based on the prestige of the university. Most of these discussions lump all US schools together. Also curious if European graduates are also having the same experience
I think no matter the prestige it’s tough these days. Kid I talked to went to NYU for example and talking to my old UPenn professors it’s rough there too. I’ve also talked to many from Stanford and Berkeley in the Bay Area and still unemployed too
Europe I feel less educated to comment on but good point I’ll try to focus internationally more too :)
I'm in last semester of bachelors in English. But I want to switch my career to tech or what ever will be in high demand in future. What would be your suggestions for someone like me? I really am desperate to have a high income career that's why I am starting all over again at this point. I need a clear road map and supportive resources that can lead me towards my goal and I'm willing to work my brains out for that for next 3-4 years. I genuinely need guidance.
hospitals, nurses
Look up technical writer, UX writing and other related writing jobs within tech. Good luck
Start with a...powder. Powder. Powder. Your face reflects. Love you,
How do you pay rent if you're literally working for free? This seems like very bad advice for young people unless they already come from a family with some wealth.
I have a degree in data Analytics , how can i use that for freelance
27:27 please do
Plenty of work available. Just need to get off your arse.
Just got back from a week at a Gold Mine in Papua New Guinea. Put in the effort and you'll be surprised at the opportunities that come your way.
I am conpletely debastated and should have went into medicine😂 my brother and all my cousins are doctors and AS RESIDENTS are making more money than me lmao
Why the face so Shiny? 🤔
It's called a glass skin. The usual procedure for the skin, so that it would be elastic and young
@@yuryruban Whoa! I learned something toady
i don‘t understand how you want to work in ai if you don‘t have a degree in math or sth
sry but it is not about using python libraries
i work in research and what we do requires a good understanding of math 😅
i work in europe and we don‘t have any pre-job tests here. if you made it to a msc they believe you can write code 😅 and can learn anything bcs you had to. what a degree teaches you is far beyond what a udemy course can teach you 😅
same content again and again to milk views
I would watch this video every year. Compared to last year, this time there's more emphasis on freelancing and even more data to back the increasing redundancy of college degrees.
A new approach was provided to seek jobs and financial security. This time it's even targeted towards Ivy league graduates. Even they should consider this method, that's how tough the market is right now.
There's also a note on the importance of Trades and how they stand strong as a career despite the quick shift in white collar jobs. A business mindset alongside Trades and AI is something new that was mentioned and extremely powerful.
A lot of the news around AI in the video was only introduced this year.
Most importantly, this time we are talking about a CAREER. Not how to learn Data science, not how to learn AI, but how to build a successful career, not just in tech, this applies to a lot of fields. It's widely different :)
I'm sorry you feel it's the same video. If you really believe so, I can't help but feel sorry for you. I hope you get your life together.
And im grateful for this update
Shut up dude there are new people coming to this channel and the world is ever changing.
OP is a bot
And? I love watching her content on these topics
I quit 2 jobs last year, should I be looking for a job or wait until Trump or Kamala is elected? :/.
In a nutshell we are fucked
You are a contrarian/non-conformist, nothing wrong with that :)
Why is her face so shiny, it's scary
omg Tina why you face so shinny ,what products do you use ...stop using so much :(
Why is your face so glossy?
