You might feel pressured to choose something, but then worry about what others think. This can lead you to prioritize their happiness over your own, and you might feel stuck in your choices later on. This is similar to the sunk cost fallacy, where you hesitate to change course because of the time or effort already invested, even if it's not the right decision.
I can relate to that...
Absolutely! Embracing the uncertainty of career paths can lead to greater flexibility and opportunities for growth. Remember, it's not about having all the answers early on, but rather about staying open to new possibilities and continuously evolving. 🌱

I failed to understand the monty problem for a long time. Justin helped me understand it. Thank you Justin. 😊
Summary of the video : 0:00
In addition to that:
- career is a path(somthing fixed)❌
-carreer is like a trajectory ( somthing you can change and changing right now.)✅
I would like to confirm that you have uploaded :)
Chose doctor as a child. Did many other jobs. Decided to get serious when I was 29. Did medicine and hated most of it. Tried out fringe specialties at registrar level. Decided on Radiology at 38. Love Radiology.
I like the analogy to the Monty Hall problem: when presented with new information, you should update your calculations in a Bayesian approach, not stick to decisions made which did not have this info.
This is the most needed video !
Such a good advice. Thank you!
More people need to hear this advice, I have shared it to some close people (some of who are like the older sister and others who are like the younger sister).
Thank you for teaching me how to study better and how to make life choices, it is so logically elaborated i love it. - Big love ❤
This video may have just solved my stress about finding a career, I have spent SO LONG trying to find the perfect advice but it was all summed up here hahaha, thank you for these amazing videos that never fail to inspire!! 😅
Very helpful video packed with advice that I wish every kid got in high school (perhaps even middle school lol). The main problem imo is that society intrinsically doesn't encourage such form of experimentation. Take being a doctor for example, once you enter med school you're basically locked into it until you graduate and find a medical profession, and by that time typically around a decade would've passed. Now you have a huge debt to pay off, which is going to be hard to do without the profession you're trapped in. While I do know that Sung managed to make it work out in the end, some often don't have that luxury. Even if we put being a doctor most jobs (that we would consider worthwhile) require some form of schooling before you even get to experience it, which just understandably pressures someone into covering their eyes and ears and hoping the first job they choose is the perfect one.
This is so true. I as a child never knew what I would become in the future. I went with the flow, I did not even sit fot the entrance exams in India being one of the top students in my school. It was pretty wierd for people around me. I did my grad in chemistry and I did well but guess what 2nd month into the course, I knew it was not for me. Now I m pursuing my masters in psychology. In India, psychology is a very uncommon subject to pursue. I got really upsetting remarks for relatives anf family members but I really love this subject and I hope to become more successful in this field.
So much good stuff
Thanks a lot Justin Sung you help me get to the top of my class!❤❤❤
Eyyyyyyyy
Ghana is here
Thanks
Wondering what the iCanStudy program looks like once you join?
Want to know if it’s right for you?

In Germany at 12 yr, you visit workplaces to become customized with different jobs, at 16 yr you can work as an apprentice.
Damn that's really nice. I hope more countries open to this idea
I wish I could have gotten that early knowledge of these workplaces... 😊 Nice to know about it.
Very true, I’ve always recommend take gap year before university
Hey i just passed high school and wondering about taking a gap year. People usually recommend against it. So it would be really helpful if you can share your views about why taking gap year should be done
Thanks in advance
@@randomgeek9385 Hello, I'm glad to share my view, that you could think about it from your perspective
First of all, there isn't a real reason to rush and enter a college after graduating if your education system allows you to take a gap year. I consider it very important, while you are still a young adult, to gain as much experience as possible. Explore yourself, the world around, gain more knowledge about your future profession, and how to be a successful student not only in studying but also in a relationship with colleagues, teachers, people around. All this is quite time-consuming, and in university, you will be juggling all these things together with actual studying, and a gap year gives you the capacity to do this much easier.
I was studying computer science and became quickly disappointed in my university (there were objective reasons too), because I didn't know how it works, or how studying at a college relates to my future profession, and it all seemed redundant. At university, you learn the basics of programming, theory, and math and it's your foundation for future self-taught learning of practice skills. I didn't know how it was to be a programmer, I think it was some sort of art profession, but actually, it's problem-solving. I was disappointed in everything, and through university with minimal grades to just pass it, never learning something real. I also had fun times and made a lot of friends, figured out my mental health, this time wasn't as miserable as it sounded, but gush how mutch I wasted my time. And two years after graduating, what I do, I started studying all over again from zero and want to become a software engineer.
A gap year at first glance looks like a waste of time, but if you take a year and turn it in yourself it gives dividends for the rest of your life
Hi Justin. Have you read Mastery by Robert Greene?
What is your comment in his idea to find your unique niche of mastery based on your childhood interest?
Please make a video on Zettelkasten (especially the analog/antinet variant)
I wish we were shown a diverse range of careers in depth in guidance class at school, and then being made relevant eben to people that may not have that career undee their radar.
I would have love to take a year or two working after high school before trying to aim to something. It's crazy letting young people to make life decision so young.
I like your videos. Can you tell me what software you use for video design? Thank you so much 😁
I have seen you grow your channel over the years. Yet, here I am, stuck in the beginning. What should I do to change my old self?
Don't change your decisions to get right one , make a decision and make it right
Well, people ask. I'm young and at a point of my life where the decision making begins (for the Indian folks out there: i recently gave my board exams) and everybody is asking what I want to be.. everybody. From principal to friends and uncles i didn't know existed. I tell them something.. mostly it is related to bio. But the embarassment of admitting to them that I want to decide as I go, is stifling. just .so terrifying. All my survival instincts flare up. But it's easier to shove them aside with a simple answer of what I might want to be. Things are easier that way. And i prefer it
You god damn genius
I wanted to become a doctor, got rejected. I thought to myself that "Maybe if I work harder this semester, I could switch" but then I looked at the workload I have as a non-medicine student and I was like this would double if I did medicine. but then over time, I don't get those thoughts of wanting to become a doctor, I wanna be in the tech space, that has always been me. Becoming a doctor was just a social pressure from family and society claiming it to be the only job one should do.
Try medical bioengineering, it is engineering+medicine. So you won't waste you effort in medicine, and do engineering.
i always wanted to be an architect from when i was 9 but never got the motivation to get the grades needed to get in to school, so instead i chose the same career/school as my best friend so we would still be together. and that took me to a career that i loved. but now having the same career for 20 years I'm starting to look for a new path. for you who wonder, i have been a electrician for the last 20 years 🥰
by the way, i have always loved watching Justins videos but always forget to subscribe. i fixed that problem now.
good video.

Can anyone help me?
When Justin mentions the process of priming, he talks about getting a general understanding of the keywords but he said in another video to read only 30 seconds about the keyword which you have Absolutely no idea about.
My question is what is the correct one
Also is it mandatory to know the definitions of the keywords or just the importance ,ie' Why?' question
Please reply
You're mixing things up, can't just hear "keywords" in two different contexts and try to use them interchangeably.
The lookups are for when you have no inkling of what a keyword means / its definition. E.g. if I talk to you how taxes contribute to building of public roads and you have no idea what "tax" even means, it'll be difficult to get even a general understanding of the topic. All you'll know is that there's something called "tax" and it helps build roads. But when you look up the word you'll understand that it's the money that you make that goes back into building the infrastructure in your environment (at least in theory 😏).
After you know what the word means, you just want general understanding, so in the example above that could mean understanding that governments, citizens, jobs, infrastructure and taxes have a circular relationship.

Just tell them you're not sure yet but will know in some time
