What I learned: you have to be a god at math to make any money in this world

[kevinstreeter]

Do not major in math. It is too abstract for employers. If you like math, major in a field that uses it. A minor will give you 90% of the math you need.

When my daughter went to college she paid for it. I told her not to waste her money and if she doesn’t know what to do she should take general courses during her freshman year that were required and easy and get her GPA as high as possible. She followed my advice and got a 3.8 and during her sophomore year decided to major in Business Management and Marketing. She is now involved in digital analytics and marketing and makes 150K/year at 29.

I haven't seen the video yet, but I guess Computer Science is at #1

[RunningMan]

I am a chemical engineer who spent the latter part of my career in the I. T. field. I used those engineering problem solving skills a lot. One piece of advice I would like to offer to those entering the I. T. field is to be aware of how easily your job can be outsourced. I saw many friends lose their job when their department got relocated offshore where labor costs are lower.

Degrees are good in just getting you through the door for most fields, but #1 thing is knowing how to articulate yourself in an interview and actually crafting a good resume.

You also need to actually know what you want to do in life, or if you're like me and don't really have any passion in anything you could turn into a career, look for stability

As a nurse, I also agree. All you need is an ASN in nursing and you'll be making 50K easily and the biggest flex is options. You can work 3-12 hour shifts, 4-10 hour shifts, or your average 9-5 job. You can work 7AM-7PM, or 11-11 (twilight hours). You can work in a hospital, clinics, schools, labs, behind a desk--it's endless possibliities and 100% job security. Most hospitals also pay you to go to nursing school. I started out with nothing and now I have a house, two cars, and I'm planning on grad school next year (CRNA). It's not a passion job, but I'm good at what I do and I'm debt free. What more could I ask for?

[ramengurung]

In this current economic climate, I am extremely grateful that my favourite subject (economics) is also a great degree option. I could never imagine having to sit through degrees that you hate just because of the future job prospects it holds.

[RETHRMT]

Here's a drinking game: everytime Shane says Computer Science as his #1 on his list, take a shot.

[johnblaiklock]

First degree in engineering. Worked as an engineer for a while. Masters in computer science. Worked as a software developer for a while longer. Retired at 46.

[ericoliphant]

I graduated in 2019 with my bachelors in biochemistry and will be starting a position in a biomedical laboratory making around 70, 000 a year soon. It’s important to keep in mind that many of those positions that require a masters or Ph.d are usually lead R&D, development, or pure research roles. I’ve gotten offers in the past for positions as a waste water plant chemist, Developmental chemist etc; and even worked as an analytical chemist for 3 years to gain industry experience. The higher degrees aren’t always necessary if you have the technical skill and knowledge. I started research early on in undergrad too though, which gave me good experience applying my knowledge and developing autonomy in a laboratory setting. I do plan to go back for my masters at some point in the near future though.

The fact that what I wanted to major in was in this video made me so happy m! thank you for these insanely helpful tips in an even more insane system.

Asa parent I was pretty concerned when my daughter wanted to get a Psychology degree, Which she did- getting excellent grades. I was shocked when she enrolled in a master program which was fully funded for both tuition, room, and food and pocket money( wouldn’t have agreed to this otherwise). While in the program, she was very involved in student mentoring and student recruitment which she enjoyed, and she had good grades and references. After graduation she worked at a community college as a student advisor, and then to a university, then to a second university.She’s now at a very prestigious university, likes her job and makes a great salary- in the mid 80’s. Who would have thought? I am glad she likes her job.

[DarkHorseSki]

I have a computer science degree. It WAS once a great degree, but now it is worth far less than you seem to understand. This is because not only do we have AI doing code these days, but you can often find great programmers at a very cheap price, abroad. IF you want to be in the computer science field, you best stick with the jobs that require you be local to the equipment on a regular basis (like robotics and networking.)

[dmlagrange]

This is great! Your video should be required for every high school student !!!

[blackswan]

This was a great one, Shane. Already have my college plan war-gamed out (thanks in no small part to this channel) but this was still a very entertaining and informative video. Consider the like button smashed👍

If you like designing things but don't want to be an engineer, then study industrial/product design! The course will teach you a vast amount of skills and you'll have a huge amount of job opportunities in many different fields! Some companies will even tailor a job for you. For instance, I studied industrial design and a company merged a marketing and drafting position just for me after seeing my portfolio. Cases like this also give you negotiating opportunities to get a higher wage. I've also worked as an automotive designer which was a really cool job as well.

[ColonelBragg]

Medical field has the absolute best job security of all the degree's, If you are a nurse or doctor you will never have difficulty finding a job.

[jameshill]

Hi Shane, thanks for this insightful video. Love the content.

May I make a future video suggestion: would love to see a smackdown (comparison) video of two very popular grad degrees: MS Computer Science vs MBA.

[shehrozeisrar]

You’re awesome dude! Been working in car sales and I’m at the cross roads where I either continue on and become a manager or go back to school and get a degree to have multiple doors open. It’s a make or break for me and coming across your channel is super crucial. Thanks again for all the advice.
