You're smiling more and look more relaxed and personable. You're getting better at your videos mate, great content. Please never stop making videos, you are an invaluble resource for STEM majors.
Thank you for the comment! I've definitely been trying to improve on that aspect so I appreciate that feedback. And don't worry I will never stop making videos haha.
I'm pursuing Computer Science, but I recently got into Astronomy which has led to an interest in Physics which led to an interest in Aerospace Engineering, and an increased interest in Computer Engineering.
SKYNET #2025 OMGGGG!?! we have the same life i wanna be an aerospace engineering but i just realised how much i love astronomy but im also good at computing so i cant choose
This is the most annoying feeling, GOD. One day I feel very passionate about engineering, math and physics and then the other day I'm thinking about history and research, maybe writing books on interesting historic topics. And then a wake up, and my brain goes " why not do political science, hey international relations are cool, you know a foreign language this should be good".
Ah same here with same subjects too But I have noticed one thing that I get confused between these subjects because I see a lot of interesting RUclips videos about these topics that's why I get interested in these subjects But when I start to read a particular book about a particular subject then I start to feel bored So I think at this point that I'm going to focus on my studies now ( which are mainly Maths and Science) And I'm preparing for engineering entrance exams too If everything goes well then I'm gonna pursue a career in engineering and if not then O don't know what to do
THIS IS LITERALLY ME OH MY GOD. right now im deciding between computer science, digital art, astronomy, history, international relations, and journalism & broadcasting :-''')
This is my biggest problem in life... i have avoided college because I love every subject... People always say to ''do what you love'', but I love everything. I study History, Anthropology, Science, Engineering, Sociology, Politics, Economics, Law, I just read about every single subject and I have been building a personal library since I was young, filled with everything from Ancient History to Philosophy to Occult and Theology, all the way to Quantum theory and Finance and technology... I have absolutely no hope of going to college because I know that whatever I study, I will want to study something else within a few months or a year. I wish I could just have every degree. I wish I could just study everything How do people just do one thing, I will never understand that.
It sounds to me that you would really benefit from a liberal arts college. They're set up so that you can take any class you want, without having to commit to any subject: a real "study everything" philosophy. If that's not your speed, then I recommend checking out your local community college- they generally allow you to take courses at your own pace even if you already have a college degree.
Well, the thing is once we know what learning, studying, understanding and implementing is, we tend to like many subjects. Same thing has happened to me. I have understood and learned high school Maths, physics, computer science, physical chemistry, biology so vividly that I feel like I can get to any subject and not feel disappointed later. But for lazy students like me, biology and chemistry seems a bit daunting as it involves memorization(there are concepts but still not like computer science and physics) than imagination and understanding. So, Physics and computer science appeal to me more. So at last I am majoring in CS and doing minor in physics. Guys, learn to appreciate the beauty of maths. That's what the most important factor to learn physical sciences.
I really want to be everything. I am very interested in politics but also space and physics and medicine. I'd love to be a psychologist or an architect or a writer too. Very difficult to choose but I settled for biomedical engineering because it keeps the most doors open and it's also easy to find a good job
@@areejwmea1240 It's a lot of physics, so if thats not something you enjoy I would maybe consider another option. I am really happy with my choice and the field is very diverse! I've learned a lot about many different topics :)
My problem is that really nothing “interests” me or stands out against the rest, but I’m definitely a great student. I feel like I’d just be moderately satisfied with half the majors out there 😂 ugh
I can't say that there is any specific subject that I'm most interested, I love learning new things about everything. I enjoy almost everything I do. I need to choose which Major is the best for me in a year, and deciding this will be toughest decision I will ever do.
Go to community college. It saves money and 2 years for skills you gained. For example, associate degree in mechanical engineering , then bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering or computer engineering or electrical engineering or automation engineering. Some people dropped out of their bachelor's degree because of its difficulty or disinterested. Money wasted. Take your time with your career goals.
Arch Angel Here in North Carolina, some community colleges allow you to earn an Associates of Engineering (General Engineering). You'll have all of your Gen Eds out of the way, and have your Physics, Chemistry, ,Math, Statics/Dynamics and CAD/MATLAB courses out of the way too. That way you can focus on what university you want to attend and can dive right into your major.
I got a bachelor's degree in fine art and then went back a few years later for a bachelor's in math. I wish it didn't cost me so damn much but I love learning and bridging the two subjects.
In the University of Lisbon there's a Bachelors in General Studies, in which you have classes from a wide range of areas (like Science, Humanities, Law, Business, Sport, Art)
If you want to know a little of everything then read books or take CC classes. If you want to have a stronger foundation in one area, then study some type of engineering or science.
I have way to many interests in high-school my dream careers were being a video game environment artist and a cinematographer. After graduating I looked into both industries and saw how horribly people are treated especially in the game industry and now i want nothing to do with either but i still very much enjoy those things. Nowadays im into mechatronics, aerospace engineering, Lidar, web development, cooking, and baking. Its hard to just pick one and stick with it lol.
This is a good process for helping determine your college major. Begin by using the process of elimination. Look at a list of the majors. Mark off the majors you know 100% that you do not want to major in. Afterwards, you will have a much shorter list of options. When I did this, I only had one left and that is what I majored in.
Be like Elon, study what you're most intrested in and dominate in that field then use money generated to dominate all the fields you like. Just choose a field with the highest job opportunities and while you are studying read a lot on the topics that intrest you. Im a EE major with specialty in rf and telecommunications but I also am studying economics and quantitative finance as well as the fundementals of business practices on my own. I'm currently teaching myself how to do an economic analysis and portfolio management using stats and some special calculus tricks from stochastic calculus. I'm doing this because I want to one day own my own business and go as high as I can. Bill gates once said that in his 20s he never took a day off, so I decided to get a head start and from the day I graduated hs at 18 I never took one off. And now I am doing something as a hobby that economics students loose sleep over. I'm starting to notice a heirarchy in the world of the quantitative sciences and careers in general.
So I have the same problem. I was very interested in either perusing an engineering, business, or arts degree. Eventually I went for chemical engineering and got accepted. I’m currently in the middle of my second year and I’m realizing that this isn’t the right path for me so I’m trying to switch to finance. Sometimes the best way to learn about where you truly belong is to go through it. Yeah it’s gonna cost more money, time, blood, and sweat but for me it’s the only way I see that would get me somewhere. Wish me luck and I wish you all luck as well. Life is never meant to be easy.
Me, a junior realizing how time is flying and I'll be a senior in no time and all my life I thought I wanted art but then I'm questioning life and it's 5 am and I'm scared
I know your feelings. I started doubting everything at the beginning of my first year at university. Dropped out and now I have to décide what to major in within a month. I'm still clueless. We can talk about it if you want to
@@brumhelldah917 Funny you responded now because I ended up going for engineering and dropped out AGAIN. Now I have to decide for the third time what to major in and honestly I fucking hate all fields equally after all this time
@@okaze4757 try mental health care, philosophy, hospitality work, administrative services, or go to school to learn to build a shop! For something you think a community would need.
Just for me so that I can process info/pay attention. 1:19 - You can list 10 career paths, and you can possibly find a few that leads to the direction of all of them. 1:30 - A lot of entry level jobs say requirements in 3-4 majors write down many career goals (careers, job positions, projects) as I can. narrow to top 5, then pick top 3 (main focus). Tailor eduction to point in direction of those. Other 5 as side or college minor.
I worked as a lawyer first, now I'm studying Software Engineering. :) I think if you save up enough money you can do 2 degrees, or you do online courses /online university.😊
How did you manage to go back to studying? Do you combine it with your job? How is the experience with younger students and are you worried applying for a job being older other graduates. Does it bother you to start again as a junior?
Thank you for this video!! I'm applying for a chemistry degree after sooo many years of indecisiveness (plus one gap year after withdrawing my computer science application) + it's looking more and more like I'm going in the right direction
Last year I had this exact problem. I was going into med school if I couldn't decide. But I had a feeling there was something better. My passions are literally everything, and really can be summarised as giving myself a challenge. I enjoy math, all fields of science, English, philosophy and law, music, art, dance, economics and business, and sports. As a result, I wanted a job that would include majority of those, but I realise now that is unrealistic. Instead I have come to the conclusion that I should create my own job instead of choose one, and so I plan to start a business. However, I want my business to be a pioneer for neural engineering or a similar field. This will not only include my love for biology(especially the brain), but also mathematics, physics and chemistry required for mechatronics, engineering and development, art for design, as well as everything required for developing a business. I don't expect to start it right away and plan to use my degrees to work a decent paying job in order to start my business in a financial position.
Then majoring in business administration is best! You know why? Basically BBA is mix of every field! We study psychology, economics, law, communication, technology etc.
I can't wait to surround myself with people like you at my university tbh. Hanging out with people who are motivated and have goals in mind will make it easier to find and pursue a major that I enjoy. I really appreciate your videos, thank you. Quick question if you don't mind me asking: are you working right now? If so what are you doing?
there's only a few months left before I can decide what course to take. Since I was young, I really loved engineering and being a scientist. As I grow up, I also wanted to be a chef and a nurse. Last year our class got involved in earth science and geology piqued my interest. I began narrowing down what I really like and then arrived to the point I am stuck between being a radiologist and a geologist. My father asked me why I wanted to take geology. "It is because I wanted to satisfy my curiosity." He replied that I should be more practical. I know he wanted to have a big amount of money but money is not what I am after and since the cause why I wanted to be an engineer, scientist, nurse or radiology, is because I love science and the activities that let you investigate since then. I even thought of studying forensics but I just don't really have a feeling for it. The reason I chose geology over radiology is I can interact with my hobbies I like and it is where I really get fun. I also wanted to stop a year and get a part time job so I can save up for college
For me it's a choice between more mathematical/scientific major (civil engineer or architecture) or a more artistic career (illustration or animation) there isn't an easy middle between the two
I’ve been obsessed with tensors, manifolds and more specifically general relativity since my freshmen year in highschool and I am now going into my sophomore year of college. Managed to take BC calc and calc 3 in highschool and ask my ib physics teacher pretty cool questions about relativity, quantum field theory and maxwells equations. I’d stare at these insane equations hoping I would one day understand them and everyday I inch my way there. At the beginning of my senior year I looked at the integral and differential forms of maxwells equations and had no idea what they meant. In May of my senior year I realized maxwells equations were just vector calculus, surface integral and line integral equations I learned in calc 3 and it was a quite wowing moment realizing how mathy physics really is. My first year of college I took intro linear algebra, differential equations(ODES, systems of ODES, Laplace, Fourier solutions), physics(mechanics with intro to thermo first semester and intro e and m and intro waves and optics second semester)and a stats class which the first half was an intro to graph theory and the second half was combination , permutations and rook polynomials . Next semester I’m taking complex analysis and partial differential and every year I.T just amazes how math changes your view of the world as you learn more. And I.T seems to me at this point at least that all the new math I do learn is some form of the math I’ve learned before either changed slightly or on steroids.keep making new videos they inspire me!
This was actually really fun to read. I could like see the time lapse of what you've learned over the past few years lol. Hope to see another comment like this in a year to see what other connections you've made! P.S. I personally loved complex analysis and I'm not sure how your professor will teach it, but it has a ton of applications and will connect to a lot.
At 19, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study. My parents pressured and rushed me into college, quickly, I picked Mechanical Engineering and started in Community college. I was doing well with my classes, however, because I didn’t spend enough time studying, my grades were not the best. I loved the Mathematics and it felt so natural to me. At the same time, I was dealing with depression, I was not sleeping well, and as a result, my mind was not functioning at optimal condition. I was forgetful, sleepy, couldn’t concentrate, and felt weaker. On top of that, I was dealing with depression. My mind was only showing me hopelessness and negative self-talk. I felt inadequate. I switched my major to physical therapy, I was doing well, but if I studied enough, I could’ve been the best. Out of fear of not making it into PT program. I switched to Accounting and Now Finance. When i took Acc. & Fin. I felt like the soul was sucked out of me. I had no desire or passion to study Acc. or Finance. I’m 26, and in my senior year in the Finance program, and performing at my worst level. School told me to keep my GPA at the minimum or they will drop me from the program. Currently it is below min GPA and i feel like im forcing myself to study Finance. I loved Math & Science and flew away from it bc the money was not high as a great finance major.
Finance is a great field. Accounting can get super boring I understand but hey the good news is you are not gonna do a lot of accounting stuff at your job. Except for balance statements, cash flow and P&L there isn't much accounting as a fund manager or investment banker. You just need to know how to read these 3 statements and draw conclusions. You can keep complaining about doing something else and become more dreadful. You took too many decisions without even understanding and keeping a foot in those fields. I bet once you get into engineering you will say the same shit. It also contains discrete, linear mathematics with level 3 calculus which will eat you up. You just need to do what you are doing and need to decide that you are gonna be the god damn best at it. Also Stop taking your life and job so seriously. When you are on your death bed you are not gonna think about your job but the memories you had with your close ones. At the end of the day you are on a floating rock in the middle of no where , like chill out.
I’m going into electrical engineering. I would love to work in aerospace, automotive, power, healthcare, but in the electrical engineering necessary sectors. My favorite part of EE is the fact that an invisible force combined with tangible materials alongside code is allowing these machines to work as intended. It’s truly beautiful and fascinating. I’m so excited!!!!
I've been watching your videos for almost a year now and I just now subscribed. Your videos have helped me and I'm excited for that physics vs engineering video and the physics major video
If you don't know what you want to major in for college, you could always start undecided and take a variety of entry level classes for areas you might be interested in to figure out what you want to do. All the better if you start at a community college which is cheaper. Then the classes that aren't in the field of the major you ultimately choose can be used for your gen ed and elective credits.
Definitely consider talking about the Applied/Engineering Physics major. It's not as common as other engineering majors, but it's a nice mix between physics and engineering.
I am glad to know that I am not the only one who is having this trouble. Right now I am in Grade 11 and I am stressing out because I do not know exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life and my parents keep yelling at me about it. I am interested in nearly every subject, I am planning to take a victory lap so that I can cover most of the courses I am interested in (I spent hours trying to narrow it down just to that point). I have been trying to look at it based on what I would actually want to do for a living vs. what I am interested in. I like both the sciences and the arts, but for a job I would go into the sciences. As well, it is my favourite subject. However, it turns out that science encompasses a large array of topics. So far I like physics and engineering the most, but the problem is that I do not think I am smart enough to do that. I like business, law, some aspects of biology & medical science, biochemistry, and chemistry.
I have a LOT of interests, such as Creative Writing, Arts, Literature, Music, Traveling, Foreign Languages (I'm self-studying Japanese and Korean with French, Spanish, and Chinese just for fun), Culture, Social Media, Graphic Design, Filming/Editing, Photography, English, etc. I wanted to study a major and work on a job that not only gives me income, but also gives me fulfillment, joy, and creative freedom. 😃 I know it sounds big and broad, but that's what I'm aiming for so I won't feel an extreme regret. 😅 My Top 3 is Education, Communication Arts, and Tourism. But still, I'm torn between Com. Arts and Tourism 😀
I'm a freshman majoring in EE. But I'm also interested in Finance and Law. I've heard it would be easier to switch from engineering into one of those later than vis versa, but I'd rather set out on the path I want starting now.
Stuck between medicine and fashion I dropped my biology because I felt I was to dumb for the discussions in my class it’s only my first year but I think about this everyday
I remember my freshman year being worried because I didn't know what I wanted to do in math. Then I met someone who didn't know if she wanted to do music, architecture, or neurobiology. I was suddenly grateful for at least knowing I want math lol
I want to major in biochemistry since I love seeing scientists mixing compounds to create something new (chemical reactions), this is my interest. However, I get discouraged from declaring it since most physical sciences usually requires a PhD just to get a decent job. P.s I'm a college freshman
Very realistic video, offering a real concrete solution. I want to add some supportive words: To choose something means to abandon some other things. This is the physical rule, it is better' you accept it before it gets too late... People who has physical intuotion achive to accept this reality and doesnt fight with the facts that he wouldnt change, by no way.. Every one of us try to maximize the opportunity cost. But dont try to be perfectionist until you find exactly your ULTIMATE END GOAL(Zach names it sth like this). Again there is nothing something like perfect choice. Trial and error, elasticity, again this physical/engineering attitude will help you, if you have these you will understand what İ mean.. And recognize that every genius like Einstein, or current geniusses like Terry Tao says that I am weak in algebra and topology! Can you imagine that Mozart of Math Tao accept his weakness in some subfields of Math! And again another current pyhsicist advises to strengthen the strongest part of you! Because by trying anxiously hard, you at most become normal or good in some fields; but recognize that there is already naturally gifted strong guy there and stands on that "good" point by doin almost nothing. And if he tries some hard, he gets all the way up! Be honest to yourself. All the thing is not just about your "interests"(they may come from the psychological roots like desire to be like genius etc.); try to catch the common point between your interests and skills/abilities!
It's so hard for me to decide which direction I want to go in. For example, I'm not sure if I want to pursue a career in medicine, engineering/technology, or business. How can I better learn which path would be best for me?
Try going to a career counselor, usually offered for free at a college, to evaluate your interests & skills. It can help to talk things out & realize what type of fields you'd like to eliminate. They also can help you find internships, service learning, organizations, & volunteer opportunities to help you explore different paths
I think this could be answered by suggesting on people to imagine what do they want to be in the future. Once they imagine and have a picture of that in their head the imagination and elimination would be so easy.
I'm struggle to choose between Physics Major or Engineering, I'd love to take a place in physics researches and I love to make some cool stuff with technology as well
2:40 I would like to be a software engineer/computer programmer, but I would also like to study philosophy or psychology. And science/math doesn't sound too bad either. I cannot decide. edit: The only good solution I can think of is to study philosophy/psychology/something else mostly theoritical at uni and learn math/programming online. But then what job will I get? Hhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 🤔
I'd go with cs and do psychology as a minor. There is a ton of maths in cs, and a lot of philosophy in psychology. Also, philosophy is usually pretty different at uni (at least in Germany), so take a look at the syllabus. Also, there might be some philosophy-related cs classes
Kinda why i chose Applied/Engineering Physics as a major. I feel it bridges the gap between physics and engineering especially at a PhD level. You can use physics fundamemtals to solve engineering problems or use advanced physics principles to create new technologies like nanotech, fusion, advanced propulsion, high energy density lasers, or quantum computing/AI. Or you can become an experimental physicists and work in Astro Physics or Particle Physics.
I'm going to be a freshman in college this fall, and that's precisely why I chose Applied/Engineering Physics as a major! I'm interested in theoretical, astro, and particle physics, but also optics, materials science, and sustainable energy. I figured this major was broad and flexible enough to give me a taste of all of them and let me specialize later on.
Hey guys im gonna study enginering physics because of the shit u learn with that degree but shit dont know in what field i could work or get a master. Can u tell me please? I really need it.
I studied civil engineering and I'm currently studying systems engineering online. I also completed a technology program in pharmacy management, another one in software development, and I'm currently pursuing a technology program in electronic product development. Additionally, I'm studying for a bachelor's degree in mathematics while working as a software developer. However, I've never been able to settle on just one path. If I had more time, I would like to study electronic engineering, physics, more pure mathematics, biochemistry, astronomy, computer science, and music.
I was superconfused what college major I should pursue until something happened. On each interest I had, how do I apply it? It doesn’t matter if you love history, geography or law, the question is how do make money out of it? Let’s be real, we go to college for the hopes of a good salary or compensation, not academic enlightenment unless you are already rich or materialless. That simple question humbled me to be less overwhelmed on my pathmaking. For one, I loved history but there’s no career prospect out of it unless you want academia. This though process eliminated many of my college interests until I narrowed down to majoring in Computer Science which something I’m willing to academically comprehend and work for (the tech industry). Also, choosing one major doesn’t necessarily meant you are closed off other curiousities. While I’m studying CS, I’m very interested in learning about finance, business, accounting and law on decentralized media.
Omg y’all I can’t choose.. I’ve always wanted to do virology/immunology but I’ve also always dreamed of doing astronomy and astrophysics, and I used to want to do the arts but I think I’ll keep that as a hobby because science is my true passion. But how can I choose a field? 😭
Don't just look at the subjects, also find out what people with those degrees actually do. Some degrees give you a good chance of getting a job in that field, others don't, or at most lead to unpaid volunteer work. Many subjects lead mainly to teaching at school or college level. Do you want to do that? Nowadays astronomers do most of their work at a computer terminal, not a telescope. A lot of biomedical science involves experimenting on and killing animals: not directly saving anyone's life. Most academics don't just teach, they have a constant struggle to win research grants, do collaborative work and produce a stream of publications to maintain their position in the university.
hahaha i struggle to choose between.... psychology. and.... maybe kineto and nutrition? my situation is worse. i haven't found something i really love. was very passionate about physics two years ago but completely forgot about it because i think the human sciences are more useful to the society than inventing a rocket and finding out a new type of molecule or that kinda stuff. it's just that psychology, in my country at least, is not a very good idea. everyone tells me to choose something else, that psychology is not a good idea, because the country is filled with psychologists and psychology students and i'll never find a good paying job. i would study medicine but it's too hard and i don't really find it that interesting. so here i am, thinking every night about what i should study... should i return to physics? should i study nutrition? should i study psychology? I am almost 17, 11th grade, need to choose QUICKLY, because i need to prepare for applying for university. in my country, you have to choose one major and you have to stick to it, can't really change it. that really sucks.
Did you ever consider computer science? Most people find it interesting and it opens up many options for different jobs. Also, most yearly salaries (in average) are really good.
I liked all the things, so I DID all the things. But, I went to a small school in the middle of nowhere with no car, so there was nothing to do BUT study. I was a triple major in Chemistry, English, and Philosophy. I knew I wanted to do science since forever, but also loved English, and philosophy sounded out. It worked out well. My phil. classes I focused on logic and linguistics (tying together the other two). I work in chemistry now (teaching at the university level). But I use my English degree ALL the time when I read (lots of that), and when I write (publishing is important), or I present (either research or just doing teaching). Chemistry was a GREAT pick as a major for me. I do bioanalytical chemistry, so that also lets me do ALL the things. My PhD was biological applications of noble metal and semiconductor nanomaterials, so DNA, quantum dots, spectroscopy, and even in vivo studies. Chemistry is REALLY flexible if you're having a hard time deciding which science to do. =)
Yeah I am in between Marchent Navy and mechanical. Earlier I was really excited and hooked for MN. Few years ago I was into medicine, genetics engineering and coding. Now it's only these 2.
Woah that’s cool. I got into engineering from building quads in my garage. I mean that’s different cuz it became a hobby like 8th grade with model aircraft and it evolved into fpv naturally but like it is how I ended up choosing my major as an EE and I do LOVE my major specific courses even if I don’t love my CC classes for my school
*dude, as a 20 yr old who is more into STEM than the Medical/Arts/Culinary(?) etc fields, I found this video so helpful! I like science a lot, but not coding. So otherwise I'd do programming or computer science but I despise what little intro I've had to Phython and Cadd. But I do like flying drones and planes, so I'm also pursuing pilot and my youtube/business/film goals too. You say a good problem to have is having many interests', but I feel like that's not true...? Either way, you spoke very well and this video was really helpful .Thank you!!* :)
Glad you enjoyed! And regarding the having too many interests, if you have a conversation with someone who doesn't have anything that excites them in terms of career options, you'll see you're in a much better position.
Literally. Currently in finance but feel like I belong in the film industry. Such a shortage of great writers and directors. The only problem is film making is insanely closely knitted. You need to have so many contacts.
I’ve always been interested in technology, computers and design. I love creating videos, websites, apps and designing things. I also love architecture and languages. But I feel like I’m not sure I want to be an architect because of the long hours and how long it takes to become licensed. I would have to really be immersed into it to go for it. Another interest is the environment and animals. I’ve volunteered and worked with animals and love to be outdoors. I want to be able to conserve the plants , animals and habitats we have still. I love art and music but I’ve decided that’s more a hobby of mine that I wouldn’t want it to be a job.
I’m interested in medicine, molecular biology, aerospace, astronomy, and civil engineering and I honestly wouldn’t mind working in any of these fields sooo I’m stressed
when i was a kid i wanted to be a lawyer. When I was older I wanted to do something with business and work in a big bank like you see in The Wolf of Wall Street. Somehow, through Elon and RUclips, I got fascinated by space travel and outer space (aerospace and astronomy/physics). At the same time, I was also interested in electrical engineering and computer science. Right now I'm contemplating becoming a doctor and probably having a good life, although I've never been particularly interested in it. I have until July and have no idea what to do.
I don’t have too many interests, but my problem is that I question myself if the things I am interested in are really what I like and am passionate about. Or am I just fooling myself.
Can't decide whether to take architecture, civil engineering, accountancy or culinary.I do see myself as an architect, designing buildings, etc. I can sometimes see myself working as an engineer in different cites. I also see myself as a chef someday. But I don't know why I don't see myself going to college and study even one of those three. For the Accountancy on the other hand, I do see myself taking that course, also because of my relatives who are an accountant, cpa, BUT I can't see my future where I work as an accountant or any job related to it. By next year I will be a college student, I should decide soon, and I badly need advice :

R3M B1A1 be Superman but not literally
Why not Batman?! Or maybe Iron Man, he´s an hero and engineer.
Dude all know antman is GOD

How is computer major is really can't decide? 😭
This is the most annoying feeling, GOD. One day I feel very passionate about engineering, math and physics and then the other day I'm thinking about history and research, maybe writing books on interesting historic topics. And then a wake up, and my brain goes " why not do political science, hey international relations are cool, you know a foreign language this should be good".
Ah same here with same subjects too
But I have noticed one thing that I get confused between these subjects because I see a lot of interesting RUclips videos about these topics that's why I get interested in these subjects
But when I start to read a particular book about a particular subject then I start to feel bored
So I think at this point that I'm going to focus on my studies now ( which are mainly Maths and Science)
And I'm preparing for engineering entrance exams too
If everything goes well then I'm gonna pursue a career in engineering and if not then O don't know what to do
i applied to engineering and law programs, so far i haven’t got rejected and i’m fcking stressed. i have way tooo many options
What did you choose and are you happy with it?
THIS IS LITERALLY ME OH MY GOD. right now im deciding between computer science, digital art, astronomy, history, international relations, and journalism & broadcasting :-''')
@@Snowflake28936AJ I'm between mechanical engineering, electronics engineer, chemistry, quantum physics, writing, journalism,acting, filmmaking.... HEEEEELPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
More like how to choose a major when you have no interests
LOL that was me originally now I have the problem of not knowing which to choose
Try math
@@saraqostahterra4548 what if you hate math?
@@Gangst3r4ever You hate math because you don't understand math. Once you really understand it, you'll love it. But, it will take some practice.
Gangst3r4ever idk I’m fucking depreesed
This is my biggest problem in life... i have avoided college because I love every subject... People always say to ''do what you love'', but I love everything. I study History, Anthropology, Science, Engineering, Sociology, Politics, Economics, Law, I just read about every single subject and I have been building a personal library since I was young, filled with everything from Ancient History to Philosophy to Occult and Theology, all the way to Quantum theory and Finance and technology... I have absolutely no hope of going to college because I know that whatever I study, I will want to study something else within a few months or a year. I wish I could just have every degree. I wish I could just study everything How do people just do one thing, I will never understand that.
same
Its meeee 💔
It sounds to me that you would really benefit from a liberal arts college. They're set up so that you can take any class you want, without having to commit to any subject: a real "study everything" philosophy. If that's not your speed, then I recommend checking out your local community college- they generally allow you to take courses at your own pace even if you already have a college degree.
You are speaking my mind
Same dude, but then you have me...suck at math
Well, the thing is once we know what learning, studying, understanding and implementing is, we tend to like many subjects. Same thing has happened to me. I have understood and learned high school Maths, physics, computer science, physical chemistry, biology so vividly that I feel like I can get to any subject and not feel disappointed later. But for lazy students like me, biology and chemistry seems a bit daunting as it involves memorization(there are concepts but still not like computer science and physics) than imagination and understanding. So, Physics and computer science appeal to me more. So at last I am majoring in CS and doing minor in physics.
Guys, learn to appreciate the beauty of maths. That's what the most important factor to learn physical sciences.
I wish I'd seen this 2 years ago. It may have saved me a lot of worrying.
Lol
I really want to be everything. I am very interested in politics but also space and physics and medicine. I'd love to be a psychologist or an architect or a writer too. Very difficult to choose but I settled for biomedical engineering because it keeps the most doors open and it's also easy to find a good job
Same man. İm so conflicted between political science and physics/chemistry
What did you choose and are you happy with it?
@@areejwmea1240 It's a lot of physics, so if thats not something you enjoy I would maybe consider another option. I am really happy with my choice and the field is very diverse! I've learned a lot about many different topics :)
@@maximilian2782 BME, yes very!
You look at your personality traits and the skills you have then you’ll figure it out
My problem is that really nothing “interests” me or stands out against the rest, but I’m definitely a great student. I feel like I’d just be moderately satisfied with half the majors out there 😂 ugh
Engineering Physics then
I can't say that there is any specific subject that I'm most interested, I love learning new things about everything.
I enjoy almost everything I do. I need to choose which Major is the best for me in a year, and deciding this will be toughest decision I will ever do.
I don't know why RUclips's Algorithm underrates such good content.
Go to community college. It saves money and 2 years for skills you gained. For example, associate degree in mechanical engineering , then bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering or computer engineering or electrical engineering or automation engineering.
Some people dropped out of their bachelor's degree because of its difficulty or disinterested. Money wasted.
Take your time with your career goals.
BinaryClash you can't get a assoc in mechanical engineering in ANY community college I have ever seen!
Arch Angel it's uncommon but it is available at some schools
Alex S. Where?!
Arch Angel Here in North Carolina, some community colleges allow you to earn an Associates of Engineering (General Engineering). You'll have all of your Gen Eds out of the way, and have your Physics, Chemistry, ,Math, Statics/Dynamics and CAD/MATLAB courses out of the way too. That way you can focus on what university you want to attend and can dive right into your major.
Royal Jester that's what I expect, but to say you can get an AS in mech seem incorrect..
I got a bachelor's degree in fine art and then went back a few years later for a bachelor's in math. I wish it didn't cost me so damn much but I love learning and bridging the two subjects.
I want to do the same! I'm currently getting my Bachelor's in Psychology but really want to do an Engineering degree as well.
Any majors for renaissance men, like Sherlock knowing a little of everything
In the University of Lisbon there's a Bachelors in General Studies, in which you have classes from a wide range of areas (like Science, Humanities, Law, Business, Sport, Art)
Yeah just read books and save your money.
If you want to know a little of everything then read books or take CC classes. If you want to have a stronger foundation in one area, then study some type of engineering or science.
MajorPrep thanks bro😀
I did a bachelors in General Studies...like 80% of people don't end up doing what they majored in.
I have way to many interests in high-school my dream careers were being a video game environment artist and a cinematographer. After graduating I looked into both industries and saw how horribly people are treated especially in the game industry and now i want nothing to do with either but i still very much enjoy those things. Nowadays im into mechatronics, aerospace engineering, Lidar, web development, cooking, and baking. Its hard to just pick one and stick with it lol.
This is a good process for helping determine your college major. Begin by using the process of elimination. Look at a list of the majors. Mark off the majors you know 100% that you do not want to major in. Afterwards, you will have a much shorter list of options. When I did this, I only had one left and that is what I majored in.
Some of these points are obviously very specific to America but it actually was surprisingly helpful for me as a German as well 🙃

Be like Elon, study what you're most intrested in and dominate in that field then use money generated to dominate all the fields you like. Just choose a field with the highest job opportunities and while you are studying read a lot on the topics that intrest you. Im a EE major with specialty in rf and telecommunications but I also am studying economics and quantitative finance as well as the fundementals of business practices on my own. I'm currently teaching myself how to do an economic analysis and portfolio management using stats and some special calculus tricks from stochastic calculus. I'm doing this because I want to one day own my own business and go as high as I can. Bill gates once said that in his 20s he never took a day off, so I decided to get a head start and from the day I graduated hs at 18 I never took one off. And now I am doing something as a hobby that economics students loose sleep over. I'm starting to notice a heirarchy in the world of the quantitative sciences and careers in general.
JOHNNY BELTRAN wow
I'm proud of you keep it up and I have a question what do you think of math?
Thanks for the inspiration Johnny!
Awesome Johnny! Thank you for sharing
I am assuming you are an investor too, right?
So I have the same problem. I was very interested in either perusing an engineering, business, or arts degree. Eventually I went for chemical engineering and got accepted. I’m currently in the middle of my second year and I’m realizing that this isn’t the right path for me so I’m trying to switch to finance. Sometimes the best way to learn about where you truly belong is to go through it. Yeah it’s gonna cost more money, time, blood, and sweat but for me it’s the only way I see that would get me somewhere. Wish me luck and I wish you all luck as well. Life is never meant to be easy.
Haha I did Economics with a bunch of Finance courses and wish I'd done Mechanical Engineering...
BEST OF LUCKS.

I couldnt decide between Arts, Physics and Philosofy. Went for Economics 😂
Yeah im choosing between computer science, engineering and music 😂
I worked as a lawyer first, now I'm studying Software Engineering. :) I think if you save up enough money you can do 2 degrees, or you do online courses /online university.😊
How did you manage to go back to studying? Do you combine it with your job? How is the experience with younger students and are you worried applying for a job being older other graduates. Does it bother you to start again as a junior?
why did you quit law
Thanks ...for your advice...mam
Thank you for this video!! I'm applying for a chemistry degree after sooo many years of indecisiveness (plus one gap year after withdrawing my computer science application) + it's looking more and more like I'm going in the right direction
One of the best channels ever man. Love you bro.
Last year I had this exact problem. I was going into med school if I couldn't decide. But I had a feeling there was something better.
My passions are literally everything, and really can be summarised as giving myself a challenge. I enjoy math, all fields of science, English, philosophy and law, music, art, dance, economics and business, and sports. As a result, I wanted a job that would include majority of those, but I realise now that is unrealistic. Instead I have come to the conclusion that I should create my own job instead of choose one, and so I plan to start a business. However, I want my business to be a pioneer for neural engineering or a similar field. This will not only include my love for biology(especially the brain), but also mathematics, physics and chemistry required for mechatronics, engineering and development, art for design, as well as everything required for developing a business.
I don't expect to start it right away and plan to use my degrees to work a decent paying job in order to start my business in a financial position.
Dude that's great , hope it goes well + ima go complete figuring out my major see ya
I WANT TO VIDEO GAME PROGRAM BUT IT GETS OUTDATED AND THE DEBT I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO MAN

Starting college in 2 months and still don't know what I want to do. This video sure help a lot though :)
Very informative. Videos are getting better in terms of quality with every upload. The visuals are on point. Keep it up man!
Thank you!
there's only a few months left before I can decide what course to take. Since I was young, I really loved engineering and being a scientist. As I grow up, I also wanted to be a chef and a nurse. Last year our class got involved in earth science and geology piqued my interest. I began narrowing down what I really like and then arrived to the point I am stuck between being a radiologist and a geologist. My father asked me why I wanted to take geology. "It is because I wanted to satisfy my curiosity." He replied that I should be more practical. I know he wanted to have a big amount of money but money is not what I am after and since the cause why I wanted to be an engineer, scientist, nurse or radiology, is because I love science and the activities that let you investigate since then. I even thought of studying forensics but I just don't really have a feeling for it. The reason I chose geology over radiology is I can interact with my hobbies I like and it is where I really get fun. I also wanted to stop a year and get a part time job so I can save up for college
Your channel is a big help to society my friend
Ngl your educational videos are some of the best ones I've seen
For me it's a choice between more mathematical/scientific major (civil engineer or architecture) or a more artistic career (illustration or animation) there isn't an easy middle between the two
Well architecture is kind of an art. Don't you think?
Look into physics/simulations for special effects.
I’ve been obsessed with tensors, manifolds and more specifically general relativity since my freshmen year in highschool and I am now going into my sophomore year of college. Managed to take BC calc and calc 3 in highschool and ask my ib physics teacher pretty cool questions about relativity, quantum field theory and maxwells equations. I’d stare at these insane equations hoping I would one day understand them and everyday I inch my way there. At the beginning of my senior year I looked at the integral and differential forms of maxwells equations and had no idea what they meant. In May of my senior year I realized maxwells equations were just vector calculus, surface integral and line integral equations I learned in calc 3 and it was a quite wowing moment realizing how mathy physics really is. My first year of college I took intro linear algebra, differential equations(ODES, systems of ODES, Laplace, Fourier solutions), physics(mechanics with intro to thermo first semester and intro e and m and intro waves and optics second semester)and a stats class which the first half was an intro to graph theory and the second half was combination , permutations and rook polynomials . Next semester I’m taking complex analysis and partial differential and every year I.T just amazes how math changes your view of the world as you learn more. And I.T seems to me at this point at least that all the new math I do learn is some form of the math I’ve learned before either changed slightly or on steroids.keep making new videos they inspire me!
This was actually really fun to read. I could like see the time lapse of what you've learned over the past few years lol. Hope to see another comment like this in a year to see what other connections you've made!
P.S. I personally loved complex analysis and I'm not sure how your professor will teach it, but it has a ton of applications and will connect to a lot.
At 19, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study. My parents pressured and rushed me into college, quickly, I picked Mechanical Engineering and started in Community college. I was doing well with my classes, however, because I didn’t spend enough time studying, my grades were not the best.
I loved the Mathematics and it felt so natural to me. At the same time, I was dealing with depression, I was not sleeping well, and as a result, my mind was not functioning at optimal condition. I was forgetful, sleepy, couldn’t concentrate, and felt weaker. On top of that, I was dealing with depression. My mind was only showing me hopelessness and negative self-talk. I felt inadequate.
I switched my major to physical therapy, I was doing well, but if I studied enough, I could’ve been the best. Out of fear of not making it into PT program. I switched to Accounting and Now Finance. When i took Acc. & Fin. I felt like the soul was sucked out of me. I had no desire or passion to study Acc. or Finance.
I’m 26, and in my senior year in the Finance program, and performing at my worst level. School told me to keep my GPA at the minimum or they will drop me from the program. Currently it is below min GPA and i feel like im forcing myself to study Finance.
I loved Math & Science and flew away from it bc the money was not high as a great finance major.
Finance is a great field. Accounting can get super boring I understand but hey the good news is you are not gonna do a lot of accounting stuff at your job. Except for balance statements, cash flow and P&L there isn't much accounting as a fund manager or investment banker. You just need to know how to read these 3 statements and draw conclusions. You can keep complaining about doing something else and become more dreadful. You took too many decisions without even understanding and keeping a foot in those fields. I bet once you get into engineering you will say the same shit. It also contains discrete, linear mathematics with level 3 calculus which will eat you up. You just need to do what you are doing and need to decide that you are gonna be the god damn best at it. Also Stop taking your life and job so seriously. When you are on your death bed you are not gonna think about your job but the memories you had with your close ones. At the end of the day you are on a floating rock in the middle of no where , like chill out.
Why don't you try Business Administration?
I’m going into electrical engineering. I would love to work in aerospace, automotive, power, healthcare, but in the electrical engineering necessary sectors. My favorite part of EE is the fact that an invisible force combined with tangible materials alongside code is allowing these machines to work as intended. It’s truly beautiful and fascinating. I’m so excited!!!!
I've been watching your videos for almost a year now and I just now subscribed. Your videos have helped me and I'm excited for that physics vs engineering video and the physics major video
If you don't know what you want to major in for college, you could always start undecided and take a variety of entry level classes for areas you might be interested in to figure out what you want to do. All the better if you start at a community college which is cheaper. Then the classes that aren't in the field of the major you ultimately choose can be used for your gen ed and elective credits.
Definitely consider talking about the Applied/Engineering Physics major. It's not as common as other engineering majors, but it's a nice mix between physics and engineering.
I am glad to know that I am not the only one who is having this trouble. Right now I am in Grade 11 and I am stressing out because I do not know exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life and my parents keep yelling at me about it. I am interested in nearly every subject, I am planning to take a victory lap so that I can cover most of the courses I am interested in (I spent hours trying to narrow it down just to that point).
I have been trying to look at it based on what I would actually want to do for a living vs. what I am interested in. I like both the sciences and the arts, but for a job I would go into the sciences. As well, it is my favourite subject. However, it turns out that science encompasses a large array of topics.
So far I like physics and engineering the most, but the problem is that I do not think I am smart enough to do that. I like business, law, some aspects of biology & medical science, biochemistry, and chemistry.
I have a LOT of interests, such as Creative Writing, Arts, Literature, Music, Traveling, Foreign Languages (I'm self-studying Japanese and Korean with French, Spanish, and Chinese just for fun), Culture, Social Media, Graphic Design, Filming/Editing, Photography, English, etc.
I wanted to study a major and work on a job that not only gives me income, but also gives me fulfillment, joy, and creative freedom. 😃
I know it sounds big and broad, but that's what I'm aiming for so I won't feel an extreme regret. 😅

Really waiting for that video!!
The most helpful video i’ve ever listen to to choose my major as a ME 🙏♥️
I want to major in biochemistry since I love seeing scientists mixing compounds to create something new (chemical reactions), this is my interest. However, I get discouraged from declaring it since most physical sciences usually requires a PhD just to get a decent job.
P.s I'm a college freshman
I'm in the same boat. Biochem is still premed though
Very realistic video, offering a real concrete solution. I want to add some supportive words: To choose something means to abandon some other things. This is the physical rule, it is better' you accept it before it gets too late... People who has physical intuotion achive to accept this reality and doesnt fight with the facts that he wouldnt change, by no way.. Every one of us try to maximize the opportunity cost. But dont try to be perfectionist until you find exactly your ULTIMATE END GOAL(Zach names it sth like this). Again there is nothing something like perfect choice. Trial and error, elasticity, again this physical/engineering attitude will help you, if you have these you will understand what İ mean.. And recognize that every genius like Einstein, or current geniusses like Terry Tao says that I am weak in algebra and topology! Can you imagine that Mozart of Math Tao accept his weakness in some subfields of Math! And again another current pyhsicist advises to strengthen the strongest part of you! Because by trying anxiously hard, you at most become normal or good in some fields; but recognize that there is already naturally gifted strong guy there and stands on that "good" point by doin almost nothing. And if he tries some hard, he gets all the way up! Be honest to yourself. All the thing is not just about your "interests"(they may come from the psychological roots like desire to be like genius etc.); try to catch the common point between your interests and skills/abilities!
It's so hard for me to decide which direction I want to go in. For example, I'm not sure if I want to pursue a career in medicine, engineering/technology, or business. How can I better learn which path would be best for me?
Bryce same bro
Job shadowing, which u like the most.
Try going to a career counselor, usually offered for free at a college, to evaluate your interests & skills. It can help to talk things out & realize what type of fields you'd like to eliminate. They also can help you find internships, service learning, organizations, & volunteer opportunities to help you explore different paths
Alex S. Okay, thank you for your help.
Yuveer Chetraj Okay. Do you have any suggestions on how I can arrange a job shadow?
I am interested in physics, electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or astronomy. I dont know anymore!!!
take computer science and you can work in all of those fields lmao.
I think this could be answered by suggesting on people to imagine what do they want to be in the future. Once they imagine and have a picture of that in their head the imagination and elimination would be so easy.
You've earned my respect Sir.
I have subscribed btw.
I'm struggle to choose between Physics Major or Engineering, I'd love to take a place in physics researches and I love to make some cool stuff with technology as well
2:40 I would like to be a software engineer/computer programmer, but I would also like to study philosophy or psychology. And science/math doesn't sound too bad either. I cannot decide.
edit: The only good solution I can think of is to study philosophy/psychology/something else mostly theoritical at uni and learn math/programming online. But then what job will I get? Hhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 🤔
I'd go with cs and do psychology as a minor.
There is a ton of maths in cs, and a lot of philosophy in psychology. Also, philosophy is usually pretty different at uni (at least in Germany), so take a look at the syllabus.
Also, there might be some philosophy-related cs classes
Kinda why i chose Applied/Engineering Physics as a major. I feel it bridges the gap between physics and engineering especially at a PhD level. You can use physics fundamemtals to solve engineering problems or use advanced physics principles to create new technologies like nanotech, fusion, advanced propulsion, high energy density lasers, or quantum computing/AI. Or you can become an experimental physicists and work in Astro Physics or Particle Physics.
I'm going to be a freshman in college this fall, and that's precisely why I chose Applied/Engineering Physics as a major! I'm interested in theoretical, astro, and particle physics, but also optics, materials science, and sustainable energy. I figured this major was broad and flexible enough to give me a taste of all of them and let me specialize later on.
giggy biggy Yep, you get to experience different specializations all throughout undergrad to make an informed decision for grad school.
Hey guys im gonna study enginering physics because of the shit u learn with that degree but shit dont know in what field i could work or get a master. Can u tell me please? I really need it.

Additionally, I'm studying for a bachelor's degree in mathematics while working as a software developer. However, I've never been able to settle on just one path. If I had more time, I would like to study electronic engineering, physics, more pure mathematics, biochemistry, astronomy, computer science, and music.
Amazing video mate
... Not first, I cry
I was superconfused what college major I should pursue until something happened. On each interest I had, how do I apply it? It doesn’t matter if you love history, geography or law, the question is how do make money out of it? Let’s be real, we go to college for the hopes of a good salary or compensation, not academic enlightenment unless you are already rich or materialless.
That simple question humbled me to be less overwhelmed on my pathmaking. For one, I loved history but there’s no career prospect out of it unless you want academia. This though process eliminated many of my college interests until I narrowed down to majoring in Computer Science which something I’m willing to academically comprehend and work for (the tech industry).
Also, choosing one major doesn’t necessarily meant you are closed off other curiousities. While I’m studying CS, I’m very interested in learning about finance, business, accounting and law on decentralized media.
Woah! I thought I was the only one who has so many interests !
Omg y’all I can’t choose.. I’ve always wanted to do virology/immunology but I’ve also always dreamed of doing astronomy and astrophysics, and I used to want to do the arts but I think I’ll keep that as a hobby because science is my true passion. But how can I choose a field? 😭
Omg khun 😱 im a big fan
Don't just look at the subjects, also find out what people with those degrees actually do. Some degrees give you a good chance of getting a job in that field, others don't, or at most lead to unpaid volunteer work. Many subjects lead mainly to teaching at school or college level. Do you want to do that?
Nowadays astronomers do most of their work at a computer terminal, not a telescope. A lot of biomedical science involves experimenting on and killing animals: not directly saving anyone's life.
Most academics don't just teach, they have a constant struggle to win research grants, do collaborative work and produce a stream of publications to maintain their position in the university.
dude, i was thinking this same question just yesterday and next thing you do is post a video on this. are you reading my mind???
THANK YOU MAJOTPREP, VERY COOL
hahaha i struggle to choose between.... psychology. and.... maybe kineto and nutrition? my situation is worse. i haven't found something i really love. was very passionate about physics two years ago but completely forgot about it because i think the human sciences are more useful to the society than inventing a rocket and finding out a new type of molecule or that kinda stuff.
it's just that psychology, in my country at least, is not a very good idea. everyone tells me to choose something else, that psychology is not a good idea, because the country is filled with psychologists and psychology students and i'll never find a good paying job. i would study medicine but it's too hard and i don't really find it that interesting.
so here i am, thinking every night about what i should study... should i return to physics? should i study nutrition? should i study psychology? I am almost 17, 11th grade, need to choose QUICKLY, because i need to prepare for applying for university. in my country, you have to choose one major and you have to stick to it, can't really change it. that really sucks.
Did you ever consider computer science? Most people find it interesting and it opens up many options for different jobs. Also, most yearly salaries (in average) are really good.
I liked all the things, so I DID all the things. But, I went to a small school in the middle of nowhere with no car, so there was nothing to do BUT study.
I was a triple major in Chemistry, English, and Philosophy. I knew I wanted to do science since forever, but also loved English, and philosophy sounded out. It worked out well. My phil. classes I focused on logic and linguistics (tying together the other two). I work in chemistry now (teaching at the university level). But I use my English degree ALL the time when I read (lots of that), and when I write (publishing is important), or I present (either research or just doing teaching). Chemistry was a GREAT pick as a major for me. I do bioanalytical chemistry, so that also lets me do ALL the things. My PhD was biological applications of noble metal and semiconductor nanomaterials, so DNA, quantum dots, spectroscopy, and even in vivo studies.
Chemistry is REALLY flexible if you're having a hard time deciding which science to do. =)
Yeah I am in between Marchent Navy and mechanical. Earlier I was really excited and hooked for MN. Few years ago I was into medicine, genetics engineering and coding. Now it's only these 2.
Woah that’s cool. I got into engineering from building quads in my garage. I mean that’s different cuz it became a hobby like 8th grade with model aircraft and it evolved into fpv naturally but like it is how I ended up choosing my major as an EE and I do LOVE my major specific courses even if I don’t love my CC classes for my school
Iam interesting in aerospace engineering & electrical engineering &mechanical engineering &computer engineering and finally theoretical physics,astrophysics.
I wish that these videos had existed when I was in college.
The best channel ever.
*dude, as a 20 yr old who is more into STEM than the Medical/Arts/Culinary(?) etc fields, I found this video so helpful! I like science a lot, but not coding. So otherwise I'd do programming or computer science but I despise what little intro I've had to Phython and Cadd. But I do like flying drones and planes, so I'm also pursuing pilot and my youtube/business/film goals too. You say a good problem to have is having many interests', but I feel like that's not true...? Either way, you spoke very well and this video was really helpful .Thank you!!* :)
Glad you enjoyed! And regarding the having too many interests, if you have a conversation with someone who doesn't have anything that excites them in terms of career options, you'll see you're in a much better position.
I wish I saw this video before applying for college.
This is the best video I've seen on this topic although, it's a little bit late I've chosen my major.
How you're doing?
great job I will share with family and friends
This was really helpful, thanks!
I'm between software engineer, chemical engineer, mechanical engineer and civil engineer. So many options but only one life to live!!!!
Thats true, so much to do, time isnt enough
I have too many interest, but my brain can't even keep up,
so sad,
well, I'm gonna break that limit.
This video helps me a lot. Thank you so much 😊
Thanks for everything!
I want to go to medical school and film school. I wish I could do both 😭
Hmmm you got sort of a problem.
You can study music and medicine:
Literally. Currently in finance but feel like I belong in the film industry. Such a shortage of great writers and directors. The only problem is film making is insanely closely knitted. You need to have so many contacts.
I’ve always been interested in technology, computers and design. I love creating videos, websites, apps and designing things.
I also love architecture and languages. But I feel like I’m not sure I want to be an architect because of the long hours and how long it takes to become licensed. I would have to really be immersed into it to go for it.
Another interest is the environment and animals. I’ve volunteered and worked with animals and love to be outdoors. I want to be able to conserve the plants , animals and habitats we have still.
I love art and music but I’ve decided that’s more a hobby of mine that I wouldn’t want it to be a job.
I’m interested in medicine, molecular biology, aerospace, astronomy, and civil engineering and I honestly wouldn’t mind working in any of these fields sooo I’m stressed
I loved the video very helpful
when i was a kid i wanted to be a lawyer. When I was older I wanted to do something with business and work in a big bank like you see in The Wolf of Wall Street. Somehow, through Elon and RUclips, I got fascinated by space travel and outer space (aerospace and astronomy/physics). At the same time, I was also interested in electrical engineering and computer science. Right now I'm contemplating becoming a doctor and probably having a good life, although I've never been particularly interested in it. I have until July and have no idea what to do.
Great video. On a side note, the number of typos in the comments in wrinkling my brain.
I don’t have too many interests, but my problem is that I question myself if the things I am interested in are really what I like and am passionate about. Or am I just fooling myself.
WHAT IF YOU HAVE 0 INTERESTS.
Can't decide whether to take architecture, civil engineering, accountancy or culinary.I do see myself as an architect, designing buildings, etc. I can sometimes see myself working as an engineer in different cites. I also see myself as a chef someday. But I don't know why I don't see myself going to college and study even one of those three. For the Accountancy on the other hand, I do see myself taking that course, also because of my relatives who are an accountant, cpa, BUT I can't see my future where I work as an accountant or any job related to it. By next year I will be a college student, I should decide soon, and I badly need advice :
