This is why people shouldn’t be expected to know what they want to do right after high school. You’re a teenager, you just became an adult. Your interests can change, you shouldn’t be pressured to figure out want you want to do. In school no one tells you about looking up career plans or degree plans, just what major or job. Heck, changing your major shouldn’t be regarded as a mistake or have a “time limit”, but capitalism and societal pressure, am I right?
I’m a high school student and I reallly have no idea what I want to do in the future it’s so frustrating.. I’ll try to find some majors that catches my interest for now, thx for the video 💗😭😭😭
As a high school student thinking about what to do with my future, this video felt very helpful. I never even thought about looking deeper into actual jobs that I could go into if I picked and completed education on a certain major. So much valuable advice here. I feel a little more confident on choosing a major now!
I’m honestly glad that someone that isn’t in an ivy school is talking about this. The ivy advice isn’t helpful personally because I don’t go to an ivy school. I was surprised how different things were but thank you either way!
I made the same mistake. I asked a guidance counselor they told me to take engineering because it involved math and science. Then I majored in mechanical engineering as that field supposedly had jobs. I graduated with fairly good grades but could not find any jobs. There was a recession then and there were few positions for entry level engineers Gradually I got programming contracts and then software engineering positions Frankly the counselors are useless I like working in an office and am really not a mechanical engineering type. I love programming so it worked out for me eventually now I am retirement age but keep working to accumulate more money lol Software engineering was nice as can live in many different cities and work in many different industries ie medical finance automotive etc
I'm a chemical engineer and couldn't even find a job in my country.... i regret choosing it too and I'm trying to change careers at this age. Thank you for this video. Wish you could make a video on how to change careers
Im also studying Chemical Engineering right now but after 1 and half year I think it isnt for me and I am considering changing. It is really hard and I never felt so lost and low in my whole life. I made the hard decision to change majors but I think it will be worth it.
Struggling in chemE and generally engineering is normal! Try getting work experience, see if you enjoy the work and then you will have something to look forward to.
I’m kinda glad that the job isn’t in a city setting. Not a big fan of the city. Already stuck inside the city in the bay area and it’s too loud for me. Thanks for the information :) you motivate me to keep going at it for chemE!!
You’re such a good mentor like always! I think various experience is really matter. After starting professional career, it comes an opportunity to change a professional career as well.
0:57 Hey, that's literally me! Except I failed some of my courses and graduated 1 year and a half after i was supposed to, and yeah I still regret choosing ChemE
Currently in Chemical Engineering right now in the end of the first semester (it's our finals week). I might shift my course to the next semester because although I am good in my sciences and maths, I'm just not passionate about it and I would rather do something else than review my syllabus. I think that's an early sign I'm going to regret this degree by my junior or senior year and I'm "too late" to change it. I'm shifting to something I actually care about which is Multimedia Arts. I'm not just passionate about it, I'm also serious about it turning into my own career. Well, that's my experience. Hoping for the best to other kiddos who need some thinking to their future! I know you can graduate college and just have fun!
Just completed my 1st college year in chemE, now i have an option of switching to computer engg and i am thinking to avail it as the job opportunities are much better in computer side (i have almost equal intrest in both field) Anyways thanks Yeonju😊
I am from the Greater Boston area and I also regret graduating with Chem E. The only industry I can go to around here is Biotech, Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices.
I am absolutely scared. I picked industrial engineering out of idiocy and I don’t know if that’s good enough nor do I like it that much but I might as well finish it. I was 17 and pressured about picking something to study 😭😭
Don’t worry about it!! You never know what can happen and do not stress about it. You can always change your major!! It is not a mistake. It’s SO common for college students to change their major.
@@irisgardner7002 thank you for the kind words 🥰 I actually got kinda used to it and feel like I am liking what I am doing now haha. Life can be quite unpredictable at times
"as 17-18 year old it's really hard to know what you want to do with your life" immediately followed by "because I really never thought about what I wanted to do" ? I feel the second sentence kinda explain why the first one happened.
언니ㅣ!! 저도 캐나다대학에서 화학공학과 3학년을 마치고 지금 코업중인 학생인데 저랑 상황이 너무 똑같으셨던거 같아요 ㅜㅜ (엠비티아이도 esfp ㅎㅎ) 학교 공부는 물론 힘들었지만 학점은 잘 유지했는데 코업하면서 화학공학과 취업의 현실을 보니까 너무 현타가 옵니다,, 하는 일도 제가 생각했던거와 매우 다르고.. 저는 도시에서 일하는것을 좋아하는데 공장들은 도시에 없고ㅜㅜ 그치만 3학년까지와서 전과하기엔 너무 아깝네요ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ언니도 현재 Chemical engineer로서 일하는게 적성에 안맞다고 하시는거 같은데 혹시 계속 이 일을 하실거신지 아니면 나중에 다른 분야로 진로를 바꾸실 생각이 있는지 궁금해요! 저는 지금이라도 약대준비해서 약사로 진로를 바꿀 생각도 있는데,,,너무 늦은걸까요 😂😂
언니 아이패드영상보면서 공대지원해서 벌써 3학년 다니고 잇어요 저는 기계공학입니다 저도 아주아주공감해요 왜 이걸 골라서왔을까오요오오ㅗㅇ지금 코업으로 저도 메뉴펙쳐링회사에 인턴하는중인데 언니랑 내적친밀감드네욤..ㅎㅎ 인턴하면서도 이게 나랑 맞나 너무 많은 생각이들고 엔지를 왜왔을까 후회되고 나에게는 너무 어려운거같고 언니도 혹시 이런생각드셨나요?ㅜㅜㅜ 3.5gpa로 (4.0만점) 꾸역꾸역 유지했는데 더이상 공부를 계속할 자신도 이쪽으로 커리어를 계속할자신도 없네요ㅜㅠ 정말 취직잘되고 수학 물리 잘한다고 그냥 선택한 제자신이 후회되요 하지만 돌아가도 이거말고는 길이없는거같고 모르겠어요ㅠㅠ 마음이 복잡해서 넋두리를 늘어놓았네욤…!!! 어쨌튼 언니 너무 멋있고 사랑해요 언니영상이 진짜 힘이많이되요 언니 웃은게너무이뻐요 행복해지고 막그래요
저도 학생때 그런마음이었고 사실 지금도 그렇지만 아무리 그래도 살면서 길은 언제든지 바꿀수있으니까 저는 때가 되면 바꾸려고 해요..! 아직 공장에서 일하는건 힘들지만 감사하며 즐길수있는것은 즐기면서 살려고 노력중이에요🥺 예전부터 꾸준히 영상 봐주셔서 감사하고 주영님도 화이팅하세요!💖
Hello yeon pls an aspiring comp science student here please if you have a spare laptop that you ain’t using like it really just sitting there in your basement please I’ll be glad if you can give me so I can start learning how to code please it would really have a big impact on my life thank you
I am a highschool student and have been thinking about studying ChemE because i love chemistry and maths. Do alot of people regret majoring in ChemE? How do i know if ChemE is for me?
I’m a chemE major who didn’t regret choosing ChemE. I chose ChemE because I specifically wanted to work in the food and cosmetic industries. However, in high school I didn’t love chemistry, but I was really good at chem and physics. ChemE is a lot of physics and physical chemistry (Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics) . If you’re good at math you should be set to succeed. But just know that chemical engineering is a type of engineering, lots of engineering skills and some basic chemistry knowledge is the composition of your degree plan.
ChemE is for you if you want to be an engineer but doesn't know what specific path to take in the future, because ChemE has a lot of career path options! I'm a freshman ChemE and I wanted to be in the pharmaceutical industry, but I might change my mind as time passes by becuase of how versatile this degree was.

Guys; just choose mechanical engineering...its broader than chemical engineering and has more jobs available 😎
