    I have two degrees, but never went to college (long story) but I always felt I lacked a major thing. and will never be good enough. But this video caused me to reflect.
    Currently I am working on major self awareness, having a fit enough life-style, exploring my creative side, respectful parenting (being a mom) and ending generational trauma and I think I am good to go for now. NO MORE REGRETS! I mean just focus on what your values are and work towards them little by little every day. You don't have to get into everything or follow every single convention, so that you can call yourself normal or successful.

    This video came at just the right time 😭 I'm a 1.5 generation immigrant and switched my major from a medical to a creative study (my family wasn't thrilled). I worked my ass off to get straight As; constantly felt the need to prove something to myself and everyone who doubted me.
    I graduated last month and feel guilty for taking time off before securing a job. I want more besides the conventional 9-5 but there's so much more growth that needs to happen in between (from navigating personal finance to my artistic goals). I strive to be more self-reliant with each passing day. Thank you Matt for another helpful video! 🤗

    As someone who went to university and found it a tremendously amazing, fun, and a worthwhile experience, I still don't recommend it for everyone. I went into chemical engineering and my 4 year degree was only $25,000USD and my starting wage was $72,000USD, (paid off my degree in 10 months) so it was worth it for me and necessary because I can't legally be an engineer without the degree. In the future, if my children don't want to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, teacher, or accountant; I will recommend them not going to college and instead building projects and an online portfolio that they can show clients and employers

I often recruit and hire people at the beginning of their careers to work in our fully flexible, location agnostic business. They can work any time, anywhere as long as they are productive.

    Appreciate Matt for talking about this. People often think less of themselves and others if one doesn’t have a degree but the reality is that in some case a degree does not prepare you for the brutal work life after one graduates. I experienced this first hand and burn myself in less than 10 years in my career. However, I am glad to said I am learning something new, mail no time for my hobbies and reduced my working hours to be able to do so.

    As a college junior just having landed my first job in the industry I want to be in, I can't possibly agree more with every one of these points more. I'd go so far as to say they're exactly how I've been able to be successful.
    To add to the job one, particularly, to my fellow college students: go get a job now. It'll expose you to the working world, help you set up your work life (/school) balance, and give you a bit to spend on weekends. Even if you can't immediately do exactly what you love, find the closest thing and work your way up to better. That's what I've done and with a good work ethic I've had overwhelming success!

  • @goat3779

    The reason why Matt's self-improvement content is engaging because we know he's like many of us: an actual worker. There are many similar videos on YT where the speaker is obviously out-of-touch or, worse, faking to be working class. You can't really give out life lessons if your life has been too easy. #9 is very important! Self awareness goes a long way.

    About self-awareness, I could say that I'm pretty lucky. I was able to realize what I had been doing wrong, and change for the better at a young age- even though I'm watching RUclips at 10:30, it's a Matt D'avella video, so it's worth it. I can also say that I am fortunate to have discovered your channel. I have learnt and a lot from you. Genuinely, thank you very much Matt

    The part about living unconventionally was something I really needed to hear, Matt! This year I decided not to go to college to pursue my dream of becoming an entrepreneur and full-time RUclipsr, and although I've made some progress in that field, I recently started to feel unfulfilled. I didn't accomplish anything spectacular, my progress is really slow. I keep putting in the work, but self-doubt still creeps in. So thanks for these encouraging words, they really mean a lot!

I felt myself being held back from my true potential. Now 3 years later at 22, while I don’t have everything figured out I have regrets and am proud with myself for having the courage. It was honestly the first major decision I made that went against the societal norm and the catalyst for my film and self development journey

    Great video and quality as always. Did want to add a fun fact. Frozen fruits and vegetables are actually a good amount of the time more nutritious than fresh veggies because produce workers flash freeze them during their peak time. So I would actually say it’s a great idea to use frozen fruits and veggies unless it’s the item’s proper growing season.

    @astrothsknot 2 года назад +2

    i'm going to say it depends on whether or not you lived in an actual home versus halls or/and had a job during as well. if you lived off campus and worked, you're already halfway to running an adult life with adult expectations of you, like how to get a job, keep a job, deal with colleagues and clients, pay your rent etc. It doesn't matter if you're working in a supermarket one day a week, you're already shown you can get and keep a job. running a house? you won't be struggling with it when you have to get one after college.
    my main issue with college is it's unrealistically protected. it's like do the coursework and you'll get a job in your field quickly. You will not. Turn up to lectures late and no one cares. That's your first written warning in a job. But the biggest lie is do the work and everything will fall into place. It doesn't teach you to deal with the curveballs. That limiting beleif really affected my career more than anything and took me fifteen years and a recession to shake.

    One of the things I learned is that college is really meant for networking, community building, and a foundational understanding of whatever program you chose. If you want to learn practical things, you won't find it in college (unless of course you're coming from a technical program like medicine or engineering). To learn practical things while in college, I find that certain online courses have been particularly helpful because their approach is more tailored to the 'real world.' If you have the time and energy, engaging in internships, freelance, or independent contractual work can also build up your knowledge and skills so you have the assurance that you're better prepared later on.

    I appreciate a lot of what was said in this video apart from the simple meals section. There’s nothing wrong with frozen or canned vegetables. They’re easy to keep on hand and still very nutritious. Often times cheaper too so those who don’t have the budget to get organic can still eat and eat good food at that.

  • @laurahoman7083
    @laurahoman7083 2 года назад +1

    If your chicken breast/steak/fish is sticking to your skillet, it probably is NOT because the heat is too high. It's because you didn't heat the pan before you put it in, you didn't add enough oil to lean meat, or you tried to move or flip it too soon. Stainless steel and cast iron are porous. If you let the pan get good and hot before you add food, the pores close up and the surface becomes slick. If you put the food in before the pan is hot, those pores grab the food. If you've preheated the pan and you're cooking with plenty of fat, the pan will release the meat when it's time to flip it over.

    The number 1 thing college fails to prepare students for, in my opinion, is "finding themselves".
    As corny as that sounds (lol) it's really true. When you're in college, so many people just want to make friends with and be liked by everyone. This causes them to sort of play a character in front of everyone, never really being themselves and never really doing things that they would otherwise be doing unless other people are doing them.
    When you become an adult, try and take some time away from friends and people who have preconceived ideas of who you are, you might find your true self is someone completely different.

    Coming from a country, Italy, where we were always taught to save as much as we can and don't spend money on things we don't really need and can't afford, together with our national tendency to use more cash than card (this has been changing a bit lately), I'm always fascinated to see that one of the most common piece of advice by American youtubers is always "don't make purchases with a credit card if you don't have enough cash". I mean... If I don't have money, why should I buy something and use a credit card that would mean getting debts later on... Any ideas where this mentality came from? Really curious to learn more about it :)

    • @Kira_Martel
      @Kira_Martel 2 года назад +4

      I think it started around the Great Depression, and really took off after World War II. Stores started offering financing, payment plans, and layaway as the standard of living increased, and the idea of "keeping up with the Joneses" grew as suburban America grew. These financing plans turned into store cards, which turned into credit cards, which really took off after banks got in the game. In America, our real, take-home wages have been stagnant since around 1965, but the cost of living has continued to rise. Something has to make up for that difference, and that something is credit. As capitalism progresses, companies demand an ever-increasing profit margin even as they refuse to pay workers more, which results in the growing credit bubble we're faced with now. That's a really broad summary, but there's some good videos out there on the credit bubble and the history of credit cards if you're interested in more in-depth info.

    idk where this would sit with the video but an advice i would like to share with everyone is to keep your head low and only worry about yourself ; if you want to make a big difference in your life you need to do things that only *YOU* personally care about , always keep your ego in check .. the moment you start to think about how to please others you will get distracted // for example: if you don't really have the greatest desire to have a particular item but you think it's cool (maybe it's influenced by people around you also thinking its cool) then chances are you'll probably forget about it in a few months therefore it'll be a waste of money, back in highschool there were a lot of losers who spent all their money on new shoes or new iphone upgrades every year and it's so disappointing how they have terrible spending habits at such a young age ESPECIALLY when it comes to food ; since i think most teen expense is food i never understood why people don't go the extra 2 steps and claim the free food on the app like chick fil a for example (a meal is probably $5-15 if you're out with friends, if you just downloaded the app and there's a deal you can literally get a chicken sandwich multiple times..3 days worth of food could be a brand new mouse, etc without doing much work) use every method you can to save some extra change so you don't have to worry about making more next time since you already have a lot of spare from the stuff that accumulated when you kept using deals and what not
    lastly, for my young folks out here..don't spend money unless you know a way to make it back ; lets say you have $30 and you want to buy RGB lights for your room , unless you know you can get it back right after you spend it DONT BUY IT even if you have a part time job and say hmmm in two weeks i can make this back..*STOP* because as soon as you buy it, within those two weeks you're going to find something else that picks up your interest and now by the time you get paid you would've spent more than what you earned, if possible make sure you have the cash to buy the same thing 10x over before you actually buy it (this basically means you CAN afford it and it's not an impulse buy that will pick up dust in a few weeks) ofc this doesn't apply to a house or a car but you get the concept

    Lesson 6 hit hard. I am somewhat still recovering from the same situation you have just described: Going ham on the first job (intern). I am currently in the position where I try to reclaim life from "knowing everything and all possible tech stacks" to "hey you haven't drawn for a while?" It's kind of weird because I actually like learning new stuff, but on the other hand, it also is always related to the job, career etc. It's just super hard to separate stuff.

    I’m an engineer so college was a must for my profession, I think college is worth it if you know what you want to do, and you have some knowledge on personal finance. 4 years at my tier 1 university was only 40k and with the financial aid that was provided, virtually none of it came from my pockets. Unfortunately, too many people get caught up in wanting to go to expensive schools and pick majors that put them in careers where a degree was never necessary.

    Excellent content! Just a little biased from the eyes of a creative 😉. Disagree with cold calls to employers if you want to work in a large organization, unless you know someone who works there and can refer you to HR. Totally agree that college isn’t everything and for everyone, it depends on your means and what job you want. I learned from people who taught me, I was eager to learn, and made mistakes! Today I mentor young women, not only for the job but also to teach them that life and mental health matter more than anything 😊

    1. I took a personal finance course in college. Maybe not all colleges offer it but many do.
    2. I think this one definitely depends on the type of degree/field you're pursuing. Some give you more professional training which prepares you for your future career than others.
    3. Now this one I absolutely agree with.
    4. I agree with this as well.
    5. I agree.
    6. I agree.
    7. Well there are nutrition and culinary courses in college, but people don't usually take them unless they are going into a career pertaining to those things.
    8. My college does offer fitness courses.
    9. I agree.
    10. My opinion is that college should be for preparing people to have a specific career whereas the stuff you mentioned earlier in the video are just basic life skills which should be taught to you BEFORE college, in K-12 schools. Therefore making it not matter if it's not taught in college.
