between computer science is kind a useless degree because you can learn programming by courses and bootcamps. Spending 4 years is kind of waste.. Almost software developers at google, Microsoft doesn't have comp sci degree.
@@nycto16 yeah but they are the ones that are usually held onto by companies or hired by others. Unfortunately some people are still not extending their hands to give you a shot without it
Shane: "If you're someone thats not very good at math or science, maybe you should not go into engineering " *Me halfway through mechanical engineering* : watch me *clearly struggling*
I think we just all learn math and science on a different pace. It is utter bs to tell someone that they; maybe shouldn't do something because they aren't particularly good at it . ( as if they couldn't improve their skill in math & science)
when he says engineering is hard, I remember the times I was sitting in my room alone in college and crying because I spend 50hr in my room working on a programming project and it was not working. I did a computer science and engineer degree(cs degree with hardware focus). now I started making 100k right of college and I work remotely.
@@thenermer Here is my advice for you the 9th grader. I tried business, biology, art, history, medicine, nursing, pharmacy all those majors. I even traveled to different countries and studied in china, Canada, USA, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India. The best country for college education is the USA. The Best major to study is Medicine. The best country to make money in is China, but for foriengers. The best country to live in for an English speaking person is Canada and new zealand in 2021. Try to study medicine, if you don't like medicine then go for CS or CE. you can do MBA later but don't go for undergraduate business degrees. if not these 2 then become an airline pilot. start from early age because every year you are not making money you are wasting it. the money you make early life is worth X2 of what you make later in life, both because of enjoyment and because if you invest 100k now you will get 761k back in 30 years. now this is my advice for you, use it or leave it. it is up to you. you can use the investment calculator online to calculate your investment, the average return rate is 7% a year. good luck.
Nurses are overworked, under paid, and under appreciated. Especially male nurses in my area. It’s still considered somewhat “taboo”. I’m seriously considering going back to welding for a living.
Probably a high poverty area which is why wages are lower. Try a traveling nurse program or move to a higher net income area. Or get a master's degree in nursing.
Most older female nurses and nurse managers will discriminate against male nurses. It's not considered conventional hetero behavior for men/males. Cold war era thinking.
@@lukeshaul820 I work in Galesburg, IL. It is high poverty. There is only two hospitals in a 35 mile radius. One of them dominates the area. Right now I am working in a LTC mental illness facility.
Yeah, that's why I plan to take my associates degree in welding tech and not go any further. I don't have the patience to do anything more difficult than I already did, and looking at the salaries of a welding engineer doesn't empress me. They make like 5k more a year and with my degree can advance to make the same salary just about. I hated school and have too much anxiety to be sitting and learning new shit all the time that I don't even want to learn. Most of those classes I didn't even need in my opinion. Just a bunch of bullshit.
@@ebogar42 You will finish your associate degree about 3 years earlier than the engineering student...and have much less student debt...so maybe not a bad plan.
@@ammerudgrenda Yeah, it's already taken about 3 years for my associates. Have to take 3 classes next school year to finish. Will probably retake a couple just to get more experience and practice welding.
Every country is different because of Country specific and regional labor markets. The US aviation industry has been losing jobs for decades due to offshoring of business and human resources and cost cutting. Much cheaper to employ skilled professionals in India, China, South Korea, Japan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Eastern Europe, etc. It's often much less expensive to employ professionals in the markets US companies want to sell to than in the US itself. See GE, IBM, GM, Chrysler for example.
My sister is an engineer and i am in med school. We both have such different ways of handling situations. I admire her for how she deals with clients, I could never do that, But then i am better at dealing with strong emotions. I respect all the jobs out there, without them our society won’t have a balance.
@@Punicia probably won't work there. I have enough experience to get a high paying job. Had a managerial office job before going to school. Just went back to school five years after my first degree to pursue a writing passion that I have. Also I know you're making a joke and all, but just needed to mention this because some people actually make a good decision when choosing these courses. I was suffering from overall fatigue from my old job and would rather live off my life savings making a few bucks through my passion. A literature degree, if you market yourself wisely, can get you a job in the government, banks, or even to use as a bridge towards a law degree.
@@joemon7463 That's true, although my from experience studio's will work you too hard and too long just to meet deadlines and keep fans happy, it can get really toxic.
Cs? I’m interested in engineering but I can’t but help notice that cs is growing so rapidly. It’s not something I’m interested in but the growth and projection looks too good to not study. I haven’t started college yet but do you think cs is something to look into?
Medicine is so tough you can't even catch a break... whenever you'll think you've got yourself some free time think twice because apparently you could've reviewed something you learned and need not cram before exams. The sheer enormity of new information that needs to be read comprehended and thoroughly memorized is mind boggling.
Thats why most of you don't even know what you're talking about. My ex wifes sister is a nurse and has a bachelors degree. Do you all cheat a lot in college, because she doesn't know shit if you ask her about biology. I know more than her with my advanced biology courses in HS for two years.
@prairie mark I think I know what you're talking about. I felt my HS 20 years ago was harder than my college. I'm just finishing up college at 41. It just seemed dumbed down and so easy to cheat or instructors just pretty much giving you all the answers to tests. I remember taking advanced bio in HS and we were constantly taking notes and going over slides and other things. The entire class period every day was spent taking down tons of info and then we would go over it the entire week. Quizzes would be out of nowhere and they called them pop quizzes. You didn't know they were coming. It's not like that now. I bet I didn't take one note in class or feel I had to. They just never piled a lot of stuff on us really. I had plenty of time to do homework . It would be like one assignment a week if that. Sometimes none at all. HS was harder. It was an assignment every damn day just about. Luckily for me I know how to research things from my HS days and can figure out stuff on my own to help me understand what I might not know right now, which still seems like a hell of a lot we were never taught. I'm assuming a lot will be learned while working in the field, but some things I'd like to know now. Some things we seem to learn backwards too. Things I think we should know from the beginning isn't coming up until now after I'm almost done with all my classes.
What people won't tell you about the things you get from Engineering: - Lecturers from hell - Destroyed self-esteem - *free* depression - unbelievably high amount of pressure and stress
I am Thai. I got a bachelor's degree in pharmacy, a master's degree in biochemistry, and finally a Ph.D. in molecular bio and biochem. I really love my education.
For a very long time, I wanted to convince my son to do a Computer Science degree. He chose Civil Engineering instead. He was right. Today, you can learn coding from the internet much cheaper and much more efficiently, than by doing a degree. You won't have a degree, but skills are more important than a paper. Most jobs will do skills interviews anyway, and if you have good skills, you will beat the ones that only have a degree. On the other hand, to do any civil engineering, you need a degree, otherwise, you won't be hired in the field. Smart kid. The moral is: do a degree in something that REQUIRES a degree and acquire skills more efficiently when you can do it from somewhere else.
Well someoen with a cs degree can work anywhere wherever there's a computer thus IT, administration, consulting, web designer and much more, we aren't only teached to code lol
Good for your son, but cs isn't all about coding... we learn a whole lot more, not to mention all the math (trust me it's a lot) and more computer studies..... more more things you wouldn't learn online. Saying cs is "unnecessary" is taking it too far!!
Engineers can do anything. They can go to med school. Law school. The reverse is not true. Engineers can work in all the functions in the business world. I know cause I did. Mid career $300-400 is not unusual. You get an advanced degree and the world is your oyster. EE, ME,ChE are the way to go.
I believe universities have the obligation to publish the percentages of their graduates who can find employment in their studied fields. This will greatly help the student applicants to decide if they can pay back the student loans after they graduate. Moreover, nowadays universities r run like businesses, students & their parents (the consumers) should not be charged tuitions (price) that outweigh the values (jobs & salaries graduates will get) from goods (degrees) they pay for.
The whole mega expensive college thing only happens in the US as far as I know. In Scandinavia, most pay little to nothing and in Norway its completely free for international students as well. Similar case with Denmark. In countries like Switzerland and Germany there is only like 800 Euros per semester. I guess that's because the US works like a business instead of actually giving a damn about its citizens.
It is partially because the government gives out student loans and grants to help pay for education, so universities can inflate the price to get more money. It is also because the the business-like attitude that our universities hold that they can be among the best in the world. The top universities are indeed American ones with some outliers
@@modernwarfaremodernwarfare1436no, it’s not. Judging by your name, we all know you have no idea what you’re talking about because you’re ten years old
University education is not a direct link to future career and income. Only vocational schools and other job training institutes are directly linked to job and income.
I found your talk very interesting. I did trade, then engineering certificate, then engineering degree, then masters (all part time). Never a problem getting a job and always earned good money. My three daughters (close in age, including twins) at around age of 14 said to me,: Dad, we know trade/engineering was the path to money but in our time its the health sciences. That was 10 years ago and now there all in health sciences. I couldn’t believe the extent to which these little girls were so confident in their predictions and got it so right. Smarter than me I guess.
I just got my Associates in Respiratory Therapy. My pay without any overtime is 60k. Thats an associates degree, Nurses usually make about 65k with no overtime. However, OT is always available and we dont just get time and a half but we also get a nice bonus on top. My hospitals bonus right now is $700 per extra shift you pick up on top of your OT pay. Its insane. Covid has inflated that a bit buts its not uncommon outside of Covid for the bonus to be 125-250 on top. My first year as a Respiratory Therapist I am looking at making over 6 figures, again with only an Associates degree. Best decision I have made so far.
I worked directly in the area that I possess a degree. My diploma states Psychology. However, I had two minors, of which one had more requirements and classes than my major. II started in Business Administration, and I was bored to tears and just do not possess big wealth as a priority. I switched to Psychology, used quit a few of the business classes I had for electives, and. Added one more minor- it was called Career and Life Planning. I graduated during the Reagan years, when no one was hiring. I found a really poor paying with a local county counseling young people in a summer job program,. I moved from that job, to earning $63k. Per year working in administration jobs supporting. my field. Whatever you study, learn into communicate, both orally and in writing. Being provident in any more than one language will be a Godsend.
No matter what degree, no one is gonna "line up to give you a job". You have to show proof of exceptional ability if you really want those 6 figure salaries. I think this is important to point out that you can't just passively go through your degree and expect shit to be handed to you. I know a lot of engineering and CS majors that have this view that their degree is a "golden ticket". It's not.
@@jamessmitharyrh Yeah, not here in the US, since you're not just competing with other Americans you're competing against the whole world. Everyone wants American Software Engineering jobs.
Everyone from my graduating class had multiple interns that was part of the computer science curriculum and all of them had job offers their junior year. If you put in the work during school, a computer science degree is a golden ticket in the US. Your right that Everyone around the world is competing for those software engineering degrees but most of those people around the world I learning python or web development not things like oop and c++ and Java. There's a reason computer science has one of the highest dropout rates if not highest. It's cuz its hard. It's easy to learn to program but the concepts taught with a computer science degree including the math that most people studying at home don't learn are much harder to come by. I would say a computer science degree or a nursing degree, with enough work put in during college is a guaranteed good job right out of college or even during college. Atleast in the US
@@luciano_remes not really true, I’m the US, in many schools, you’re pushed as an engineering student to have a job offer before you graduate which is very doable
I am beyond thankful that I never went into Art for long as a major, no matter how much I loved it. Plus, the competitiveness of art is always sky high
@Luís Andrade not really, it depends. I myself has been drawing and painting my whole life but found it to be a really competitive market in social media. So what did i do? I already have a business at hand and know what i wanna do. And i chose business instead
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 but the thing is, if it's just a hobby and only your hobby, so your entire day will be only about your art job. And don't forget that most people with a drawing hobby actually only draw when they have inspiration. Whereas in the job field, you're going to draw whether you like it or not. You're forced to create something. And that's definitely something challenging. Most people hate their stressful jobs, and your hobby shouldn't make you stressful. But since it's your job, there's a high chance that you'll develop a bit of annoyance towards it. Unless you're extremely, *extremely* passionate about art that you can ignore about how you live + coming from a privileged background. You can definitely chase your with money, but sometimes you can't chase money with your dream. I would rather go for the first route and then the second route when I'm stable.
I wish someone had sat me down and talked to me when I was in high school. I wasn’t really interested in going to college so I picked business administration because my parents influenced me to. But the issue was my concentration in management. It’s too broad and definitely worthless. Luckily my dad worked at the university and my tuition was free lol. So it wasn’t a total waste.
I’m in school for business administration haha so comforting. Worthless as in you weren’t able to find a relevant job, I assume. Your university did not have a type of job placement or mentor ship program?
@@carlosgalicia9446 Well let me not deter you. Like I said I didn’t really want to go to college so I didn’t do what was necessary as far as making connections and interning. I did apply and interview with major companies. But a part of me knew I didn’t want the jobs I was interviewing for so I did horribly in the interviews. Once I graduated I moved back to New Orleans, which was another mistake because it’s a tourist city. Hospitality is king here. But as long as your concentration is something functional, and you intern while you’re in college you’ll be fine.
@@esinart93 Ohh don't worry about it, I just wanted to hear your experience and learn from it. I am still determined to finish my degree as I am getting paid to go. I am a veteran utilizing my GI bill. Thank you for your reply and I wish you the best of luck with whichever career you are pursuing instead!
For business degrees, go accounting and finance. You can specialize in IT with electives. Then get a CPA license. This is a consulting route. This trifecta is a tough route, but it really is a golden ticket.
Can i do Accounting and Finance If My Math Is Not Very good And i Like Chem And Bio Put i decided To Join Bachelor of commerce Because Helath care like Medicine Pharmacy And dentist Are So Expensive And I cannot Pay that Money
@@kingsafwaan9286 If you wanna go into medicine, you should go to Community College for 2 years to get your associate and finish your bachelors at a 4 year institution. Keep your grades up and try to get a full ride scholarship when you transfer so you can get your bachelors for free. You can use that money you would’ve used for your bachelors to go to med/dental school. Studying Accounting does not require a lot of Math. I’m currently studying Accounting while following the pre med track. You do have to take a few Math classes, but it’s not a lot. For Accounting itself, you just need basic Math.
Supply Chain Management guys, I've been doing my master's in this field and its amazing. I haven't even finished my degree but I've got 4 full-time and 2 internship offers already. I accepted a full-time offer and I earn more than all of my friends with different majors.
Nice! I currently work in a distribution center in the maintenance department, and I’m planning to become certified in supply chain automation, and I was thinking about maybe combing my cert and get my associates degree in supply chain management so I’ll see how it goes haha
Dude that’s awesome. I’m going to start working at Walmart Distribution Center here next week while going back to school in the fall. Thanks for the idea.
Good video. I agree about number five, mathematical degrees such as statistics. My sister studied applied mathematics, statistics. Before she graduated recruiters would asked her department counselor to supply them with a USB stick of all the graduating seniors. They didn't care, they just wanted to know names, email addresses, phone numbers. She got emails weekly. Come recruiting day, instead of setting up in the gymnasium and all majors come, the statistics department had its own setup. Wow. I accompanied her to see the job prospects. So many companies setup just for "statistics recruiting day." Healthcare (Kaiser Permanente), technology (Oracle, Cloudera, Facebook), insurance (Liberty Mutual, State Farm Insurance), sports (ESPN), education (school districts, US Dept. of Education), automotive industry (Tesla, Hyundai Motor Group), agriculture (Monsanto) and others were there. I was both so proud yet so darn jealous of her. It seemed like every industry was looking for a statistician. It is a relatively unknown yet powerful degree programme.
Good job! I'm a Chiropractic Physician myself. I earned my D.C. degree in 1993, opened my own solo practice in 1996 and paid off all my student loans in 1999. Now I'm just serving my patients and living the 🇺🇲 Dream!
My daughter despite my opposition went for maths & Electrcl Engineering instead of Medicine. She graduated in less than 4 yrs with a high score & is about to complete her MS. Hope she will get a decent job.
You are soo right. You can never regret getting a health related degree. The language is universal. You will always be in demand if you get this degree.
Engineers... just play the long game. I went through grad school in EE, I know the pain. Now I'm in my late 30s, earning $200K, working from home and watching youtube during the COVID crisis. My company just announced when we return to the office it will only be required 2 days per week. The long game is pretty good if you put in the effort during school to get on a the right track to a good engineering position
Bruh, that takes soo much courage. Not to mention,your IQ should be at least 120 + if you want to survive. Cause studying that is super expensive. And not all people have a rich parents to look up to.
@@dorafatima10 You are right about tuition. It was high in my time and now its even higher. So out of line with middle class. But, that is just for undergrad. You shouldn't need any help with paying for engineering grad school. My first employer paid for mine 100% (they just write it off on taxes). Other people in my lab got their tuition paid by doing TA work, or through the funding that every engineering prof. should be bringing in through NSF or a number of other organizations
@@dorafatima10 If it is a choice between paying for undergrad vs. doing a less expensive 2 year thing, or going into the family business, then yes. Paying the tuition is a risky financial option in that situation. I suppose I was more talking to the people who are already decided to go the 4 year route and were in engineering or considering it as a major
@The Algorithm It seems software. I guess comp sci or comp eng. with an emphasis in programming. I dont pay much attention to other fields anymore. There is really high demand in my field of wireless comm. chip design. Its good to pick something based on what is in demand and also what you enjoy. I always preferred hardware over programming, it is more enjoyable for me working closely with physics and laws of nature than writing code
My Guess 1. Computer Science 2. Health Related 3. Engineering 4. Technology 5. Math I watched enough Shane video that I’m like 100% positive the first three are on this list!
I took one semester of Computer Science in college and promptly was convinced to switch to math. It is so frustrating when the code looks perfect and you find out doesn’t work because of some system quirk. On the other hand, a good old pencil and paper has never failed to perform exactly how I expect.
Wait do you find math easier than CS? It's the opposite for me. Maths is my passion but there are too many geniuses in my class and its hard to keep up. I am inexperienced at CS but I found it easy compared to maths. And it's very clear that there aren't as many geniuses in CS. So I am well above average in my CS classes but I am bottom of my math class and keep failing my maths exams.
I have a BS in Electrical Engineering with honors and a MS in Engineering. I was told to go pound sand when looking for a job. I got my BS in 2008 and my MS in 2013. Timing and who you know is more important. If you graduate in a recession you and you don't have any connections, you are just screwed. It doesn't matter how well you did in Engineering if no one is hiring.
@prairie mark That is great. He is very fortunate to be graduating during good economic times. I didn't have that luxury. When I graduated, the only military branch that was recruiting at the time was the Army. Even though I had a degree, they weren't accepting officer program candidates, only AIT training which was essentially enlisted foot soldier . I investigated every branch at the time and they were on a recruiting freeze because so many individuals at the time were signing up because the economy was in shambles. I applied for every job I could. Stood in day labor lines that was over 5 blocks long for a possibility of only 3 jobs available at that time. Like I said it doesn't matter if you have an engineering degree from a top school if no one is hiring. It's all about the timing to be able to have those opportunities present.
@The Algorithm Depends on the reason. If you are getting the degree for a career and to get a job, I would say no because there are many other paths that would do that for cheaper/free that you don't have to deal with the BS of the gatekeepers and the student debt. See it would be all about timing and if you end up graduating during a recession or depression, it would screw up your life. Because of the student debt and not having revenant work experience. If you want to take a path of an Electrical Engineer, I would suggest first getting a job in something relevant then going to get the degree or go to trade school first and have a trade that you could make a living. However with that said, the knowledge, critical thinking, problem solving, and the theory is really useful and can be applied in multiple ways like in software engineering, wiring and electrical work, and the technical areas. Just because it difficult degree with current demand doesn't mean you will be valuable in the marketplace, because what matters the most is work experience in the niche that a employer is looking for. Education doesn't mean jack to employers, only proven history and results.
@The Algorithm That would depend on the employer. When I was getting my degree, a common tactic employers would do is offer internships or co-ops for juniors and seniors. And before they graduate offer them a job to force them to drop out so the individual didn't have the degree and thus could move to another company so easily and pay them cheaper. But that was during a good economy before things went to crap. What I notice is work experience is king, and the magic numbers to hit is 3 and 5 years. You will see a lot of entry level/ junior level jobs requiring 3 years at least. One of the major factors of college regardless of degree is to consider cost and debt. If you take on $40k+ debt to go to college expecting to make $70k/year, but end up working at Starbucks for like $10/hr because all the employers are telling you take a hike. That can be one of the worse positions you can find yourself in as you become essentially a debt slave as student loans cannot be forgiven even if you file bankruptcy. You have to understand this, it is not what you desire it is what the employers desire. For career paths particularly when it comes to employee status is dictated by the market. Hence things like getting hired, promotions, pay, ect.. is really controlled by the employer. Unless you have the cash to afford 4+ years of university (which has gone up like 400% in the last 10 years) and can work for free for at least 2 years to have the work experience, I would rethink my plan. The EE knowledge and skills are useful and get you to see the world differently, but I would have a backup or a guarantee job (like from a relative or friend who has deep connections in the field) relative to your studies before diving in. And by the way, depending on the job/company they may require a BS in EE along with EIT and PE license.
@The Algorithm To give you another thing that you need to prepare yourself for the butt whooping you will get when studying EE. When I started, there was like 300 students in the same year that enrolled in EE. However, there was only 20 of us that graduated. It is an extremely tough and difficult program that requires a lot of late nights and weekends of study. And not everyone can make it. So, you will extremely determined, sharp, and function without sleep. I suggest not trying to work a full time job and studying full time because that is a recipe for disaster. Make sure your funding and your time is in order first. Least things you need is to have things outside your study to occupy your mind.
Correction: software engineering is one of the highest paid professions and only if you work for a big tech company like Google, Amazon or Facebook. Every other kind of engineering job (e.g. civil, mechanical, electrical) will have garbage pay. I know plenty of engineers who have been working in the field for over 30 years and they still don't make 6 figures. Also, engineering as a degree is far easier than say a mathematics major (like pure mathematics, actuarial science, quantitative finance, and so on)
May I know where u live? & what position you got? & what the job entails? It would be really helpful for me as I'm trying to figure out what to get a degree on
Yeah engineering is pretty useful, my dad is a mechanical engineer but he started a business a couple years after graduating and still is our main income👍
@@ebogar42 I think it has, cuz he works with generators, machines, etc. He worked with John Deere, Doosan, etc bought parts and generators from those types of companies
Thank you Shane, I’ve applied for a CS degree in 2 unis, a general engineering in 1 and a civil engineering in another. Still having difficulties choosing the right one for me. in the UK by the way.
@@nycto16 I was referring to the point that you did not mention medicine in your prediction. By far medicine is the most useful degree to get at any point in time.
I totally agree with you! Healthcare careers will always be demanding and so many job opportunities! I definitely think it’s so worth it🙌🏽. Really like this video :) :)
Pharmacy is not that useful anymore. The drug discovery pharmaceutical industry would usually prefer a biologist (specialized with a doctorate for scientist position, masters for high level tech or very low level scientist position if you get lucky.) The money you get usually depends mostly on your research and specialization. Biotech is doing great right now, molecular biology and biochem are always great options and there is always the MBA route after doing a bio bachelors with a business minor or double major. The end goal is usually getting into management because scientists can only make so much unless you have a great idea or discovery.
I’ve heard that pharmacy in general will not be as popular anymore due to Amazon and them having their own pharmacy online, so people will prefer that over picking up their medicine in person
lol at 7:16, I got a BS in Computer Science 3 years ago, I work as a software developer specializing in automation. I and everyone I know who graduated with me make 100k+ per year. Typical starting pay is around $60k. We graduated from a large city university that isn't even remotely selective. So we aren't talking elite private school graduates.
My 26 year old son is a civil engineer working for a State agency in California, got his PE and make $98,000 last year. His 26 YO girlfriend is a data scientist and make over $108K. Yes, choose any major in engineering or computer science.
A lot of truth said about the health industry, and jobs that are health care related.. Not easy, usually under stress and not being appreciated, taken for granted. Though in demand, always short of supply . Especially now, Covid pandemic times... Yet this sort of jobs, do give gratification and satisfaction, especially when you see your patients or clients getting better, healed and going home... It's a life long skill, with the process of constant learning and relearning, acquired knowledge that never go to waste... Applicable to daily real life. Life long knowledge and skills..
Math + Experience means you are set. Also its true, the STEM stuff is ridiculously hard sometimes. I remember changing my major from Engineering to Math, thinking it was going to be a lot easier. Wow, was I shocked cause it was very hard as well. Difficult but it'll be worth it in the end, just work really hard.
I have a Master of Science in Public Health. I have worked for state and county health departments. I currently work as a health Coach for Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA)--a Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliate.
You forgot about accounting. Every business needs this function and everything goes through the accounting department. Money comes in and goes out. The accounting department needs to monitor this, and determine if there is a profit or a loss. Because of the complexities of business today, this function is crucial and and accounting degree is not that easy. Even more difficult is getting a CPA certificate. It is three days of tests. The overall pass rate is only about 54%.
MY PREDICTIONS BEFORE WATCHING!: 1) Computer Science 2) IT 3) Nursing (or other Healthcare) 4) Chem E 5) Electrical E Edit: Dang I coulda been closer ;)
I have a BA in Math - 84 and a BSCS - 95. I get jobs using those degrees. But The most useful degree at SF State is Liberal Studies. You can load up on foreign languages - there is plenty of opportunity in California to use all that you'd learn.
I love me some economics, business is sometimes useful, and some math doesn't hurt but that Risk management career though. Bro if it takes years for you to make it, I will wait!
@@ignaciopazgarcia5370 Depends. If you just want a job then chances are you will get one with just having the Ecoonics bachelor's. But if you want to specialise in something that can more likely give you those 6 figure jobs, then you might need to change that business to math, statistics or finance.
@@marvellkrypton Luckly I'll study in a top 2 finance University in my country (Spain). So doing things productively and efficiently, I'll get high level internships.
Your point with pure math degrees can extend to computer science, engineering, and pretty much every other degree. There are tons of computer science/engineering majors at prestigious schools that don’t prioritize internships and thus don’t have jobs. Every competitive field requires you obtain an internship or two during college to be competitive for full time positions. Pure math isn’t disadvantageous in any way for actuarial math or data science internships if the pure math student just takes some time to learn those topics outside of class. Computer science students also have to learn outside the classroom for the skills required in software engineering (leetcode) or data science too. In fact, the top three majors for software engineers in Silicon Valley companies are math, computer science, and physics majors. I don’t disagree with with the five majors you chose, besides the order, but I think you undermine the amount of work every major has to put in for internships or full time positions, even when computer science might seem more in line with software engineering vs math and physics.
For me, the settled trifecta of degrees worth the cost of rising college tuition is medicine-engineering-law. Tech is obviously a fourth that has come up recently but I think in time, it'll settle into software engineering vs technician like other industries. The general consensus is to go into tech so as more people are able to do the grunt work like coding, the more it'll start trending towards middle tier salaries. With a formal software engineering degree keeping the "six figure tech salary", it'll be back to being medicine-engineering-law once again.
IMHO, you should aim to INCREASE YOUR VALUE TO THE MARKETPLACE. What skills in your career field, related to your career field, are most in demand? GET THOSE YESTERDAY !!
Great video - very informative. Too bad not enough young people get this type of information. Seems the society pushes everyone towards college without any direction. That results in many kids taking the easy way out with useless degrees just to get the 'college experience'. Parents need to get involved in their children's decision as they are shelling out thousands of dollars and providing their kids with an opportunity. I used my GI Bill along with many part time jobs to get my engineering degree. I am so glad that I took the more difficult path than just copping out with a 'communication' degree like so many others did. Four - five years of studying my butt off and pulling all nighters resulted in a very comfortable life.
This was my case. I live on a small island in the Caribbean and after high school I didn't want to go to college. I was top of my class in high school and was influenced to attend college so I just chose a major- psychology. Although at the time I thought I would probably go into counseling but I changed my mind and fast forward to now, on this small island so many ppl have a psychology degree. Now that am thinking about advancing my studies, I don't even know what to do. I feel kinda lost. Am trying to figure out how to get away from minimum wage. I wish I was given some career counseling earlier in life. My parents didn't have much formal education and so were just happy that I was doing well in school.
Me who is already a librarian watches this ,thinks.. ok.nice .it's for them who wants square root of more of their success..for me this is what I would be. Daydreaming all day💟
I may be bias because i am an Accountancy major. But i feel it does not get talked about as much. It is easily the best major you can select if you have any inkling in business. Accountancy is unlike any other business major, as it is the combination of every other business major and is the language of business. Any business and many individuals need accountants. You also only need up to a very basic algebraic understanding of math to succeed. Pay is very healthy, and you can actually work anywhere in the world!
Accounting is falling into business degree category, so yeah it's a good degree to have. I think Law degree is also good. Graphic design for Art student, it has alot of job open as well. many tech companies and video games companies need those Art/tech students.
Training for web development but will go to university next year for 2d/3d animation. Ultimately gonna become a hybrid between Fullstack and VR/AR developer.
Software engineering, electronic engineering, chemical engineering, mining engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, biomedical engineering... the concept of "engineering" is impossibly broad. Chemical engineering jobs appear to be up for grabs at present, while the most adept electronic engineer I know, now works in Brasil as a salvage diver...
I found that being a nurse at a hospital, many people treat you like a waiter with a stethoscope. The problems most often came from the family members than the patients. That's why I changed to correctional nursing, fewer complaints and none from the families.
@@autumn399 The money is okay, I did not like nurses as a group. There is lots of backstabbing and they love to get each other in trouble. I met some wonderful nurses but many more miserable people. Doctors are the worst group I've ever had to deal with in my life. The culture of nursing is not one I can recommend. Correctional nursing was better because there are more men in nursing and fewer doctors to deal with.
@@autumn399 It depends very much on what kind of nursing you do. In most cases, it is not physically demanding except for being on your feet for much of the time. Don't work in a nursing home if you are not in good physical shape.
I’ve actually had to drop the degree do to life happenings & my own health condition. I’m thinking of doing a certification in pharmacy Assisting Instead. Or medical receptionist- could you possibly do a video on receptionist- different specialties- education, legal and medical/health? Still loving these videos!
The first test you are going to have to ace, is the one (from any science or math curriculum) in which your professor lets you know the Midterm will be on chapters 1 through 5 only, and don't worry about chapter 6. Believe me, 1/2 the midterm will be on chapter 6. When you cry and complain, he'll just ask you, 'did you read the syllabus?'
For business may I suggest finance or accounting. Depending on your interest, from accounting you can then specialize by taking CPA if you wanna stay accounting, or CFA if you wanna go into corporate finance/analyst/fund management (you can take general management or any other majors then CFA, of course, but having accounting knowledge would help you massively)

I think the only recession and future-proof degrees are the heath related ones...I did engineering and I'm kind of regretting it but anyway it still make great money comped to other careers
By healthcare, you also mean life sciences research? Like biomedicine, neuroscience, genetics, biotechnology? Data science seems an interesting option for me as an IR graduate, especially for geopolitical analysis and corporate intelligence at an advanced level. Thanks!
Not entirely sure what the creator thinks. However I have watched a lot of videos of his and he has said that bio degrees are quite unstable and not really worth it going into debt for.
@Lyba 🦋 That depends on where you work. Many companies in industry have research roles available to people with Ph.D.s in science and math/statistics though programming is involved with a good number of them.
What are your thoughts on a BS Economics? I’m taking econometrics next semester and interning with a homebuilders trade association this summer. Hopefully I can make bank out of college.
Yeah, and holding a degree in any academic field isn't a guarantee of employment at all. A useful skill in which you find personal satisfaction, and is rewarding and may be of benefit to others, is employment in which you'll never need to work a day in your life. True success is not measured solely by monetary gain.
I'm also getting a degree in engineering and don't think I want to be an engineer. I'm looking at a trade school now. Did you enjoy any part of your path to a masters? Can you find any problem solving methodology by your program(or any skill to take from there)? For example a programming course of mine gave me a software development cycle: 1. Requirements analysis 2. Design 3. Implement 4. Testing 5. Maintenance. Aka 1. Shorthand notes from the source 2. Make a chronologically ordered chart 3. Step to step break it down into simpler steps 4. Check for continuity either at design or implementation 5. Troubleshoot outside of code, debug inside code. Either way, I would consider not going down a road you do not want. I'm sure a masters degree in engineering looks good, but what does your heart desire? (Ecclesiastes 2:24)
I would like to disagree. I believe that if you are not good at math, but still want to pursue an engineering degree, GO FOR IT! you can do anything you put your mind to. It doesn't mean you are not good at math, it just means you were never taught a way that you can easily comprehend the math. With practice, you can become good at math. It may take a lot of 1:1 but it's definitely worth it if YOU want it!
Construction, buildings, iron workers, Heating AC, plumbing, electrician, painting, concrete, asphalt, brick masons all of. those good jobs, careers as long as your physical body holds up!
In South Africa I think engineering jobs are the ones still providing jobs ; maths is necessary apparently to enroll in any degree-! Engineering does pay well. . . Computer science yes , I see your point on this one Exactly Doctors and all in healthcare , they are needed , but in South Africa our healthcare is expensive but not as expensive as other countries where is more expensive , its very competitive industry huh-? But where are best places to study healthcare-?☺🙌
I have done Nursing and yeah its the most affordable High ROI, extreamely compatible degree and with the gurantee of not being job less unless you do something really bad on your job like *killing a patient* 😂 But if you talk most of the nurses specially male ones like myself the career satisfaction is low and self esteem along with the prestige and respect that one gets from others around is low too. That has lead many of us male nurses to contemplate about leaving the bedside and clinicals and do something else. All in all I can say ROI is not the only thing that you should consider before getting in a profession.
Have you covered degrees Puppet Arts/Puppetry, Theme Park Technology, Digital Mapping, Turfgrass Science, Canada Studies, Enology (winemaking), and Adventure Education? Apparently there are job openings for those degrees.
I think it's a bit oversimplified to say that "the combination of math and economics is econometrics". Econometrics is essentially a field of statistics that focus on inferring causal effects without being able to make specific experiments. All economics students are taught this (unless you are in a really bad program), though some specialize in it more than others. Sometimes it is a degree in it's own right, though usually only at the masters level. Mathematical economics is often a seperate major/path, and while you can specialize in statistics/econometrics, you can also specialize in lots of other things, such as axiomatic microtheory, finance, or even some math intensive macroeconomics.
I’m doing IT management and love it ! I already have experience with business side of IT but many , so many good high salaries titles in IT are also on leadership/ business side !

@Laaiba omgg haha same, I’m almost on my 5th semester and can’t pass or comprehend Calc 3, currently considering dropping out 😭🥺
when he says engineering is hard, I remember the times I was sitting in my room alone in college and crying because I spend 50hr in my room working on a programming project and it was not working. I did a computer science and engineer degree(cs degree with hardware focus). now I started making 100k right of college and I work remotely.
I'm about to go to Texas Tech for mechanical engineering. Do you have any advice?
Woah congratulations. I am in 9th grade and interested in CS and engineering too.
@@thenermer Here is my advice for you the 9th grader. I tried business, biology, art, history, medicine, nursing, pharmacy all those majors. I even traveled to different countries and studied in china, Canada, USA, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India.
The best country for college education is the USA. The Best major to study is Medicine. The best country to make money in is China, but for foriengers. The best country to live in for an English speaking person is Canada and new zealand in 2021.
Try to study medicine, if you don't like medicine then go for CS or CE. you can do MBA later but don't go for undergraduate business degrees. if not these 2 then become an airline pilot. start from early age because every year you are not making money you are wasting it. the money you make early life is worth X2 of what you make later in life, both because of enjoyment and because if you invest 100k now you will get 761k back in 30 years. now this is my advice for you, use it or leave it. it is up to you. you can use the investment calculator online to calculate your investment, the average return rate is 7% a year. good luck.
@@elhamhemat572 woahh thanks this looks like good advice!

Nurses are overworked, under paid, and under appreciated. Especially male nurses in my area. It’s still considered somewhat “taboo”. I’m seriously considering going back to welding for a living.
Hold on a little longer... you don't know the world might change for the better. You can try to juggle both though.
Probably a high poverty area which is why wages are lower. Try a traveling nurse program or move to a higher net income area. Or get a master's degree in nursing.
Most older female nurses and nurse managers will discriminate against male nurses. It's not considered conventional hetero behavior for men/males. Cold war era thinking.
You need to find a different nurse manager/ medical department to work for.
@@lukeshaul820 I work in Galesburg, IL. It is high poverty. There is only two hospitals in a 35 mile radius. One of them dominates the area. Right now I am working in a LTC mental illness facility.
Engineering school; the most difficult thing I did in my life.
Now, as a working engineer, I’m glad I did it 😃
Yeah, that's why I plan to take my associates degree in welding tech and not go any further. I don't have the patience to do anything more difficult than I already did, and looking at the salaries of a welding engineer doesn't empress me. They make like 5k more a year and with my degree can advance to make the same salary just about. I hated school and have too much anxiety to be sitting and learning new shit all the time that I don't even want to learn. Most of those classes I didn't even need in my opinion. Just a bunch of bullshit.
@@ebogar42
You will finish your associate degree about 3 years earlier than the engineering student...and have much less student debt...so maybe not a bad plan.
@@ammerudgrenda Yeah, it's already taken about 3 years for my associates. Have to take 3 classes next school year to finish. Will probably retake a couple just to get more experience and practice welding.
Chemistry degree was a pain to obtain but being an R&D chemist is a rewarding and enjoyable career. It also pays well!
what engineering did u study?
SIMPLE - STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) + Business - 5 Degrees that are most useful :)
Every country is different because of Country specific and regional labor markets. The US aviation industry has been losing jobs for decades due to offshoring of business and human resources and cost cutting. Much cheaper to employ skilled professionals in India, China, South Korea, Japan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Eastern Europe, etc. It's often much less expensive to employ professionals in the markets US companies want to sell to than in the US itself. See GE, IBM, GM, Chrysler for example.
I agree, it all depends on where you live as well.

Also I know you're making a joke and all, but just needed to mention this because some people actually make a good decision when choosing these courses. I was suffering from overall fatigue from my old job and would rather live off my life savings making a few bucks through my passion.

Thats why most of you don't even know what you're talking about. My ex wifes sister is a nurse and has a bachelors degree. Do you all cheat a lot in college, because she doesn't know shit if you ask her about biology. I know more than her with my advanced biology courses in HS for two years.
@prairie mark Studying that many hours sounds complicated unless you have no life.
@prairie mark I think I know what you're talking about. I felt my HS 20 years ago was harder than my college. I'm just finishing up college at 41. It just seemed dumbed down and so easy to cheat or instructors just pretty much giving you all the answers to tests. I remember taking advanced bio in HS and we were constantly taking notes and going over slides and other things. The entire class period every day was spent taking down tons of info and then we would go over it the entire week. Quizzes would be out of nowhere and they called them pop quizzes. You didn't know they were coming. It's not like that now. I bet I didn't take one note in class or feel I had to. They just never piled a lot of stuff on us really. I had plenty of time to do homework . It would be like one assignment a week if that. Sometimes none at all. HS was harder. It was an assignment every damn day just about. Luckily for me I know how to research things from my HS days and can figure out stuff on my own to help me understand what I might not know right now, which still seems like a hell of a lot we were never taught. I'm assuming a lot will be learned while working in the field, but some things I'd like to know now. Some things we seem to learn backwards too. Things I think we should know from the beginning isn't coming up until now after I'm almost done with all my classes.

For a very long time, I wanted to convince my son to do a Computer Science degree. He chose Civil Engineering instead.
He was right. Today, you can learn coding from the internet much cheaper and much more efficiently, than by doing a degree. You won't have a degree, but skills are more important than a paper. Most jobs will do skills interviews anyway, and if you have good skills, you will beat the ones that only have a degree.
On the other hand, to do any civil engineering, you need a degree, otherwise, you won't be hired in the field.
Smart kid.
The moral is: do a degree in something that REQUIRES a degree and acquire skills more efficiently when you can do it from somewhere else.
You don't learn only how to code in computer science
Well someoen with a cs degree can work anywhere wherever there's a computer thus IT, administration, consulting, web designer and much more, we aren't only teached to code lol
Tell me you don’t know what CS is about without actually telling me ^.
Good for your son, but cs isn't all about coding... we learn a whole lot more, not to mention all the math (trust me it's a lot) and more computer studies..... more more things you wouldn't learn online. Saying cs is "unnecessary" is taking it too far!!
civil engineers often have to get advanced degree to compete with other engineering disciplines, it should keep you employed tho!
Engineers can do anything. They can go to med school. Law school. The reverse is not true. Engineers can work in all the functions in the business world. I know cause I did. Mid career $300-400 is not unusual. You get an advanced degree and the world is your oyster. EE, ME,ChE are the way to go.
I believe universities have the obligation to publish the percentages of their graduates who can find employment in their studied fields. This will greatly help the student applicants to decide if they can pay back the student loans after they graduate. Moreover, nowadays universities r run like businesses, students & their parents (the consumers) should not be charged tuitions (price) that outweigh the values (jobs & salaries graduates will get) from goods (degrees) they pay for.
The whole mega expensive college thing only happens in the US as far as I know. In Scandinavia, most pay little to nothing and in Norway its completely free for international students as well. Similar case with Denmark. In countries like Switzerland and Germany there is only like 800 Euros per semester.
I guess that's because the US works like a business instead of actually giving a damn about its citizens.
It is partially because the government gives out student loans and grants to help pay for education, so universities can inflate the price to get more money. It is also because the the business-like attitude that our universities hold that they can be among the best in the world. The top universities are indeed American ones with some outliers

My three daughters (close in age, including twins) at around age of 14 said to me,: Dad, we know trade/engineering was the path to money but in our time its the health sciences.

I just got my Associates in Respiratory Therapy. My pay without any overtime is 60k. Thats an associates degree, Nurses usually make about 65k with no overtime. However, OT is always available and we dont just get time and a half but we also get a nice bonus on top. My hospitals bonus right now is $700 per extra shift you pick up on top of your OT pay. Its insane. Covid has inflated that a bit buts its not uncommon outside of Covid for the bonus to be 125-250 on top. My first year as a Respiratory Therapist I am looking at making over 6 figures, again with only an Associates degree. Best decision I have made so far.
I worked directly in the area that I possess a degree. My diploma states Psychology. However, I had two minors, of which one had more requirements and classes than my major. II started in Business Administration, and I was bored to tears and just do not possess big wealth as a priority. I switched to Psychology, used quit a few of the business classes I had for electives, and. Added one more minor- it was called Career and Life Planning. I graduated during the Reagan years, when no one was hiring. I found a really poor paying with a local county counseling young people in a summer job program,. I moved from that job, to earning $63k. Per year working in administration jobs supporting. my field. Whatever you study, learn into communicate, both orally and in writing. Being provident in any more than one language will be a Godsend.

No matter what degree, no one is gonna "line up to give you a job". You have to show proof of exceptional ability if you really want those 6 figure salaries.

@@jamessmitharyrh Yeah, not here in the US, since you're not just competing with other Americans you're competing against the whole world. Everyone wants American Software Engineering jobs.
Everyone from my graduating class had multiple interns that was part of the computer science curriculum and all of them had job offers their junior year. If you put in the work during school, a computer science degree is a golden ticket in the US. Your right that Everyone around the world is competing for those software engineering degrees but most of those people around the world I learning python or web development not things like oop and c++ and Java. There's a reason computer science has one of the highest dropout rates if not highest. It's cuz its hard. It's easy to learn to program but the concepts taught with a computer science degree including the math that most people studying at home don't learn are much harder to come by.

@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 but the thing is, if it's just a hobby and only your hobby, so your entire day will be only about your art job. And don't forget that most people with a drawing hobby actually only draw when they have inspiration. Whereas in the job field, you're going to draw whether you like it or not. You're forced to create something. And that's definitely something challenging. Most people hate their stressful jobs, and your hobby shouldn't make you stressful. But since it's your job, there's a high chance that you'll develop a bit of annoyance towards it. Unless you're extremely, *extremely* passionate about art that you can ignore about how you live + coming from a privileged background. You can definitely chase your with money, but sometimes you can't chase money with your dream. I would rather go for the first route and then the second route when I'm stable.
I wish someone had sat me down and talked to me when I was in high school. I wasn’t really interested in going to college so I picked business administration because my parents influenced me to.

I’m in school for business administration haha so comforting. Worthless as in you weren’t able to find a relevant job, I assume. Your university did not have a type of job placement or mentor ship program?
@@carlosgalicia9446 Well let me not deter you. Like I said I didn’t really want to go to college so I didn’t do what was necessary as far as making connections and interning. I did apply and interview with major companies. But a part of me knew I didn’t want the jobs I was interviewing for so I did horribly in the interviews. Once I graduated I moved back to New Orleans, which was another mistake because it’s a tourist city. Hospitality is king here. But as long as your concentration is something functional, and you intern while you’re in college you’ll be fine.

For business degrees, go accounting and finance. You can specialize in IT with electives. Then get a CPA license. This is a consulting route. This trifecta is a tough route, but it really is a golden ticket.
Do I have to be good in maths for finance?
Can i do Accounting and Finance If My Math Is Not Very good And i Like Chem And Bio Put i decided To Join Bachelor of commerce Because Helath care like Medicine Pharmacy And dentist Are So Expensive And I cannot Pay that Money
Or Even what about Ecnomic ?
Am studying for CPA right now. Accounting is a great major, but is very soul draining
@@kingsafwaan9286 If you wanna go into medicine, you should go to Community College for 2 years to get your associate and finish your bachelors at a 4 year institution. Keep your grades up and try to get a full ride scholarship when you transfer so you can get your bachelors for free. You can use that money you would’ve used for your bachelors to go to med/dental school.
Studying Accounting does not require a lot of Math. I’m currently studying Accounting while following the pre med track. You do have to take a few Math classes, but it’s not a lot. For Accounting itself, you just need basic Math.
Supply Chain Management guys, I've been doing my master's in this field and its amazing. I haven't even finished my degree but I've got 4 full-time and 2 internship offers already. I accepted a full-time offer and I earn more than all of my friends with different majors.
Hey bro! In what country are you studying your master’s?
How hard is it for you? Like studying wise, work, etc
Nice! I currently work in a distribution center in the maintenance department, and I’m planning to become certified in supply chain automation, and I was thinking about maybe combing my cert and get my associates degree in supply chain management so I’ll see how it goes haha

Dude that’s awesome. I’m going to start working at Walmart Distribution Center here next week while going back to school in the fall. Thanks for the idea.
Good video. I agree about number five, mathematical degrees such as statistics. My sister studied applied mathematics, statistics. Before she graduated recruiters would asked her department counselor to supply them with a USB stick of all the graduating seniors. They didn't care, they just wanted to know names, email addresses, phone numbers. She got emails weekly. Come recruiting day, instead of setting up in the gymnasium and all majors come, the statistics department had its own setup. Wow. I accompanied her to see the job prospects. So many companies setup just for "statistics recruiting day." Healthcare (Kaiser Permanente), technology (Oracle, Cloudera, Facebook), insurance (Liberty Mutual, State Farm Insurance), sports (ESPN), education (school districts, US Dept. of Education), automotive industry (Tesla, Hyundai Motor Group), agriculture (Monsanto) and others were there. I was both so proud yet so darn jealous of her. It seemed like every industry was looking for a statistician. It is a relatively unknown yet powerful degree programme.
What University did your Sister go to if I may ask ?
@@arnoldmagnusson9553 She completed the BS at Columbia University; MS at Univ. of Colorado Boulder
Statistics is a tough course for many to pursue

You are soo right. You can never regret getting a health related degree. The language is universal. You will always be in demand if you get this degree.
That's what I'm talkin' about, Shane! Love the list, especially highlighting global opportunities.
Its a shortage in healthcare because of the stress levels that come with the job.

Engineers... just play the long game. I went through grad school in EE, I know the pain. Now I'm in my late 30s, earning $200K, working from home and watching youtube during the COVID crisis. My company just announced when we return to the office it will only be required 2 days per week. The long game is pretty good if you put in the effort during school to get on a the right track to a good engineering position
Bruh, that takes soo much courage. Not to mention,your IQ should be at least 120 + if you want to survive. Cause studying that is super expensive. And not all people have a rich parents to look up to.
@@dorafatima10 You are right about tuition. It was high in my time and now its even higher. So out of line with middle class. But, that is just for undergrad. You shouldn't need any help with paying for engineering grad school. My first employer paid for mine 100% (they just write it off on taxes). Other people in my lab got their tuition paid by doing TA work, or through the funding that every engineering prof. should be bringing in through NSF or a number of other organizations
@@PelosiStockPortfolio so it's basically," high risk high reward."
@@dorafatima10 If it is a choice between paying for undergrad vs. doing a less expensive 2 year thing, or going into the family business, then yes. Paying the tuition is a risky financial option in that situation. I suppose I was more talking to the people who are already decided to go the 4 year route and were in engineering or considering it as a major
@The Algorithm It seems software. I guess comp sci or comp eng. with an emphasis in programming. I dont pay much attention to other fields anymore. There is really high demand in my field of wireless comm. chip design. Its good to pick something based on what is in demand and also what you enjoy. I always preferred hardware over programming, it is more enjoyable for me working closely with physics and laws of nature than writing code

I took one semester of Computer Science in college and promptly was convinced to switch to math. It is so frustrating when the code looks perfect and you find out doesn’t work because of some system quirk. On the other hand, a good old pencil and paper has never failed to perform exactly how I expect.
If it looks perfect but doesn't run, it's not perfect. That's actually the beauty of programming.
No quirks. It either works or it doesn't.
What did you end up taking?
Math
then you just didn’t code it right 🤣🤣
Wait do you find math easier than CS? It's the opposite for me. Maths is my passion but there are too many geniuses in my class and its hard to keep up. I am inexperienced at CS but I found it easy compared to maths. And it's very clear that there aren't as many geniuses in CS. So I am well above average in my CS classes but I am bottom of my math class and keep failing my maths exams.

Majoring a hard subject will lead you to the stable job market and good salary. Thanks for the information. Love your channel!
I have a BS in Electrical Engineering with honors and a MS in Engineering. I was told to go pound sand when looking for a job. I got my BS in 2008 and my MS in 2013. Timing and who you know is more important. If you graduate in a recession you and you don't have any connections, you are just screwed. It doesn't matter how well you did in Engineering if no one is hiring.
This is scary
@prairie mark That is great. He is very fortunate to be graduating during good economic times. I didn't have that luxury. When I graduated, the only military branch that was recruiting at the time was the Army. Even though I had a degree, they weren't accepting officer program candidates, only AIT training which was essentially enlisted foot soldier . I investigated every branch at the time and they were on a recruiting freeze because so many individuals at the time were signing up because the economy was in shambles. I applied for every job I could. Stood in day labor lines that was over 5 blocks long for a possibility of only 3 jobs available at that time. Like I said it doesn't matter if you have an engineering degree from a top school if no one is hiring. It's all about the timing to be able to have those opportunities present.
@The Algorithm Depends on the reason. If you are getting the degree for a career and to get a job, I would say no because there are many other paths that would do that for cheaper/free that you don't have to deal with the BS of the gatekeepers and the student debt. See it would be all about timing and if you end up graduating during a recession or depression, it would screw up your life. Because of the student debt and not having revenant work experience. If you want to take a path of an Electrical Engineer, I would suggest first getting a job in something relevant then going to get the degree or go to trade school first and have a trade that you could make a living. However with that said, the knowledge, critical thinking, problem solving, and the theory is really useful and can be applied in multiple ways like in software engineering, wiring and electrical work, and the technical areas. Just because it difficult degree with current demand doesn't mean you will be valuable in the marketplace, because what matters the most is work experience in the niche that a employer is looking for. Education doesn't mean jack to employers, only proven history and results.
@The Algorithm That would depend on the employer. When I was getting my degree, a common tactic employers would do is offer internships or co-ops for juniors and seniors. And before they graduate offer them a job to force them to drop out so the individual didn't have the degree and thus could move to another company so easily and pay them cheaper. But that was during a good economy before things went to crap. What I notice is work experience is king, and the magic numbers to hit is 3 and 5 years. You will see a lot of entry level/ junior level jobs requiring 3 years at least. One of the major factors of college regardless of degree is to consider cost and debt. If you take on $40k+ debt to go to college expecting to make $70k/year, but end up working at Starbucks for like $10/hr because all the employers are telling you take a hike. That can be one of the worse positions you can find yourself in as you become essentially a debt slave as student loans cannot be forgiven even if you file bankruptcy. You have to understand this, it is not what you desire it is what the employers desire. For career paths particularly when it comes to employee status is dictated by the market. Hence things like getting hired, promotions, pay, ect.. is really controlled by the employer. Unless you have the cash to afford 4+ years of university (which has gone up like 400% in the last 10 years) and can work for free for at least 2 years to have the work experience, I would rethink my plan. The EE knowledge and skills are useful and get you to see the world differently, but I would have a backup or a guarantee job (like from a relative or friend who has deep connections in the field) relative to your studies before diving in. And by the way, depending on the job/company they may require a BS in EE along with EIT and PE license.
@The Algorithm To give you another thing that you need to prepare yourself for the butt whooping you will get when studying EE. When I started, there was like 300 students in the same year that enrolled in EE. However, there was only 20 of us that graduated. It is an extremely tough and difficult program that requires a lot of late nights and weekends of study. And not everyone can make it. So, you will extremely determined, sharp, and function without sleep. I suggest not trying to work a full time job and studying full time because that is a recipe for disaster. Make sure your funding and your time is in order first. Least things you need is to have things outside your study to occupy your mind.
Correction: software engineering is one of the highest paid professions and only if you work for a big tech company like Google, Amazon or Facebook. Every other kind of engineering job (e.g. civil, mechanical, electrical) will have garbage pay. I know plenty of engineers who have been working in the field for over 30 years and they still don't make 6 figures.
Also, engineering as a degree is far easier than say a mathematics major (like pure mathematics, actuarial science, quantitative finance, and so on)
How can quant finance be more hard when both engineering and finance uses physics?
I would say they are of the same difficulty.
Degrees that require licenses: nursing, education, accounting.
Master's: Counseling, law, medical, social work, physical therapy, etc.

In the Philippines, our Department of Education is focusing on what we call the STEM majors: Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics.
Can you please talk about your career in pharmacy? and the future of pharmacy in general?
Pharmacy is not that useful anymore. The drug discovery pharmaceutical industry would usually prefer a biologist (specialized with a doctorate for scientist position, masters for high level tech or very low level scientist position if you get lucky.) The money you get usually depends mostly on your research and specialization. Biotech is doing great right now, molecular biology and biochem are always great options and there is always the MBA route after doing a bio bachelors with a business minor or double major. The end goal is usually getting into management because scientists can only make so much unless you have a great idea or discovery.
I’ve heard that pharmacy in general will not be as popular anymore due to Amazon and them having their own pharmacy online, so people will prefer that over picking up their medicine in person
lol at 7:16, I got a BS in Computer Science 3 years ago, I work as a software developer specializing in automation. I and everyone I know who graduated with me make 100k+ per year. Typical starting pay is around $60k. We graduated from a large city university that isn't even remotely selective. So we aren't talking elite private school graduates.
My 26 year old son is a civil engineer working for a State agency in California, got his PE and make $98,000 last year. His 26 YO girlfriend is a data scientist and make over $108K. Yes, choose any major in engineering or computer science.
A lot of truth said about the health industry, and jobs that are health care related.. Not easy, usually under stress and not being appreciated, taken for granted. Though in demand, always short of supply . Especially now, Covid pandemic times... Yet this sort of jobs, do give gratification and satisfaction, especially when you see your patients or clients getting better, healed and going home... It's a life long skill, with the process of constant learning and relearning, acquired knowledge that never go to waste... Applicable to daily real life. Life long knowledge and skills..
Agreed!
Math + Experience means you are set. Also its true, the STEM stuff is ridiculously hard sometimes. I remember changing my major from Engineering to Math, thinking it was going to be a lot easier. Wow, was I shocked cause it was very hard as well. Difficult but it'll be worth it in the end, just work really hard.
What University did you go to? And what do you do now?
I have a Master of Science in Public Health. I have worked for state and county health departments. I currently work as a health Coach for Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA)--a Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliate.
mid-career software engineers can make much much more than $100,000. there's new grads who start of with like $200,000 in total compensation
Even more useful a trade electrician plumbing and supplement with carpentry you will always have a career.
You forgot about accounting. Every business needs this function and everything goes through the accounting department. Money comes in and goes out. The accounting department needs to monitor this, and determine if there is a profit or a loss. Because of the complexities of business today, this function is crucial and and accounting degree is not that easy. Even more difficult is getting a CPA certificate. It is three days of tests. The overall pass rate is only about 54%.

2) IT
3) Nursing (or other Healthcare)
4) Chem E
5) Electrical E

Your point with pure math degrees can extend to computer science, engineering, and pretty much every other degree. There are tons of computer science/engineering majors at prestigious schools that don’t prioritize internships and thus don’t have jobs. Every competitive field requires you obtain an internship or two during college to be competitive for full time positions. Pure math isn’t disadvantageous in any way for actuarial math or data science internships if the pure math student just takes some time to learn those topics outside of class. Computer science students also have to learn outside the classroom for the skills required in software engineering (leetcode) or data science too. In fact, the top three majors for software engineers in Silicon Valley companies are math, computer science, and physics majors. I don’t disagree with with the five majors you chose, besides the order, but I think you undermine the amount of work every major has to put in for internships or full time positions, even when computer science might seem more in line with software engineering vs math and physics.

For me, the settled trifecta of degrees worth the cost of rising college tuition is medicine-engineering-law. Tech is obviously a fourth that has come up recently but I think in time, it'll settle into software engineering vs technician like other industries. The general consensus is to go into tech so as more people are able to do the grunt work like coding, the more it'll start trending towards middle tier salaries. With a formal software engineering degree keeping the "six figure tech salary", it'll be back to being medicine-engineering-law once again.
So with how everything is going up in price, we should all aim to make six figures.
I think it will go back down after covid
IMHO, you should aim to INCREASE YOUR VALUE TO THE MARKETPLACE.

Great video - very informative. Too bad not enough young people get this type of information. Seems the society pushes everyone towards college without any direction. That results in many kids taking the easy way out with useless degrees just to get the 'college experience'. Parents need to get involved in their children's decision as they are shelling out thousands of dollars and providing their kids with an opportunity. I used my GI Bill along with many part time jobs to get my engineering degree. I am so glad that I took the more difficult path than just copping out with a 'communication' degree like so many others did. Four - five years of studying my butt off and pulling all nighters resulted in a very comfortable life.
This was my case. I live on a small island in the Caribbean and after high school I didn't want to go to college. I was top of my class in high school and was influenced to attend college so I just chose a major- psychology.

Now that am thinking about advancing my studies, I don't even know what to do. I feel kinda lost. Am trying to figure out how to get away from minimum wage.

I may be bias because i am an Accountancy major. But i feel it does not get talked about as much. It is easily the best major you can select if you have any inkling in business. Accountancy is unlike any other business major, as it is the combination of every other business major and is the language of business. Any business and many individuals need accountants. You also only need up to a very basic algebraic understanding of math to succeed. Pay is very healthy, and you can actually work anywhere in the world!

Was a hospital administrator for 25 years and there was never a time when we didn't have a nursing shortage.
I found that being a nurse at a hospital, many people treat you like a waiter with a stethoscope. The problems most often came from the family members than the patients. That's why I changed to correctional nursing, fewer complaints and none from the families.

@@autumn399 The money is okay, I did not like nurses as a group. There is lots of backstabbing and they love to get each other in trouble. I met some wonderful nurses but many more miserable people.

Still loving these videos!
The first test you are going to have to ace, is the one (from any science or math curriculum) in which your professor lets you know the Midterm will be on chapters 1 through 5 only, and don't worry about chapter 6. Believe me, 1/2 the midterm will be on chapter 6. When you cry and complain, he'll just ask you, 'did you read the syllabus?'
For business may I suggest finance or accounting.
Depending on your interest, from accounting you can then specialize by taking CPA if you wanna stay accounting, or CFA if you wanna go into corporate finance/analyst/fund management (you can take general management or any other majors then CFA, of course, but having accounting knowledge would help you massively)
Good choices

India + engineering = they have good relations
lol
Yeah, and holding a degree in any academic field isn't a guarantee of employment at all. A useful skill in which you find personal satisfaction, and is rewarding and may be of benefit to others, is employment in which you'll never need to work a day in your life. True success is not measured solely by monetary gain.
I’m getting my masters in engineering and I don’t want to be an engineer
I'm also getting a degree in engineering and don't think I want to be an engineer. I'm looking at a trade school now. Did you enjoy any part of your path to a masters? Can you find any problem solving methodology by your program(or any skill to take from there)? For example a programming course of mine gave me a software development cycle: 1. Requirements analysis 2. Design 3. Implement 4. Testing 5. Maintenance. Aka 1. Shorthand notes from the source 2. Make a chronologically ordered chart 3. Step to step break it down into simpler steps 4. Check for continuity either at design or implementation 5. Troubleshoot outside of code, debug inside code. Either way, I would consider not going down a road you do not want. I'm sure a masters degree in engineering looks good, but what does your heart desire? (Ecclesiastes 2:24)
OMG! What a waste of your time.
@@arricammarques1955 lol about yo say the same thing
@@MrBAD2THEBONE03 Mate suffered a breakdown taking this program. Mind your sanity & follow your passions.
So, why do it then?
I would like to disagree. I believe that if you are not good at math, but still want to pursue an engineering degree, GO FOR IT! you can do anything you put your mind to. It doesn't mean you are not good at math, it just means you were never taught a way that you can easily comprehend the math. With practice, you can become good at math. It may take a lot of 1:1 but it's definitely worth it if YOU want it!
Hi, what about biotechnology, u only mentioned computer science on technology. Is it not like in the same league as technology.
8:45 At this point I guessed what's number 1 and just said "it's fuckn health isn't it" lol
The best degree is what you learn through living and life experiences.
Says everyone who couldn't get into college.
Construction, buildings, iron workers, Heating AC, plumbing, electrician, painting, concrete, asphalt, brick masons all of. those good jobs, careers as long as your physical body holds up!
Welding isn't that physical.
In South Africa I think engineering jobs are the ones still providing jobs ; maths is necessary apparently to enroll in any degree-! Engineering does pay well. . .
Computer science yes , I see your point on this one
Exactly Doctors and all in healthcare , they are needed , but in South Africa our healthcare is expensive but not as expensive as other countries where is more expensive , its very competitive industry huh-? But where are best places to study healthcare-?☺🙌
I have done Nursing and yeah its the most affordable High ROI, extreamely compatible degree and with the gurantee of not being job less unless you do something really bad on your job like *killing a patient* 😂
But if you talk most of the nurses specially male ones like myself the career satisfaction is low and self esteem along with the prestige and respect that one gets from others around is low too.
That has lead many of us male nurses to contemplate about leaving the bedside and clinicals and do something else.
All in all I can say ROI is not the only thing that you should consider before getting in a profession.
Have you covered degrees Puppet Arts/Puppetry, Theme Park Technology, Digital Mapping, Turfgrass Science, Canada Studies, Enology (winemaking), and Adventure Education? Apparently there are job openings for those degrees.

I think it's a bit oversimplified to say that "the combination of math and economics is econometrics".
Econometrics is essentially a field of statistics that focus on inferring causal effects without being able to make specific experiments. All economics students are taught this (unless you are in a really bad program), though some specialize in it more than others. Sometimes it is a degree in it's own right, though usually only at the masters level.
Mathematical economics is often a seperate major/path, and while you can specialize in statistics/econometrics, you can also specialize in lots of other things, such as axiomatic microtheory, finance, or even some math intensive macroeconomics.
I’m doing IT management and love it ! I already have experience with business side of IT but many , so many good high salaries titles in IT are also on leadership/ business side !
What's your degree?
it's been a year, your video is still relevant, Thank you So Much Shane!
Kevin Oleary has changed his mind on his strict engineering stance
Hey man, where were you 5 years ago when I was still starting college?
to become a healthcare consultant should i go to a community college for two years to get an associates in public heaslth then get my bachelors at a university for business administration
