This is video is going to be about how to choose the perfect college degree for you. It's a bit similar to a different video that I did, but much improved in terms of the quality (doesn't have the annoying hissing sounds) and also I added some important information as well.

This video will help you choose the best major for you or at the very least help you narrow down the list in a short period of time.

Enjoy :)

I'm in high school and am currently stressing over my future, so I'm so glad your channel showed up on my feed! 😭

Edit: I got accepted to the University of Pennsylvania and I'm currently a sophomore studying PPE (Philosophy, Politics, Economics) with a minor in Latinx Studies. We'll see how things turn out ig 😳

I don’t know how or why the YouTube algorithm put you in my feed but how awesome! My favourite small channel. Thanks brother

It took me 6 years to get my bachelors. I was not mature when I went in. But hey I made it to an amazing city and got the lifestyle I dreamed of as a child. Don’t go in if you still have growing up and maturing to do. It’s okay to not be ready. My peers were always awfull to me. Bullying really harmed my brain. Also I was a late bloomer. No failures just Transformations.

I'm on a gap year (sponsored by my uni) and you're videos made me realize I shouldn't just go with the flow and relax like everyone else has been telling me to (even my advisors at my uni, wth). They always say, don't stress too much about what to study yet, everyone's lost at your age, it's ok to not know what you want. But, I don't want to be that person idly waiting for some epiphany to hit me when it won't. Your videos have inspired me to take an even deeper dive into my interests and the things that make me happy, so thank you so much for your amazing suggestions. I'm notorious in my friend group for being indecisive af and always seeing the two sides of a coin, so that's why career searching always makes me incredibly anxious and pressured, but starting today, even if it will take me A LOT of time and deliberation, I owe it to myself to do thorough career research in the time that my gap year plans have ceased. This is my life and I deserve to have a secure and as stress-free of a life as I can have. So happy to have stumbled upon your videos while in a youtube wormhole a few days ago, haha. Again, thank you!!! 😊

I always had a passion for music and film, but I knew I needed a realistic source of income. I went to college and studied entertainment design and technology and now Im on the path to becoming a Journeyman member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees as a stagehand! Sometimes you do have to just think about how your interests can translate to the need of a business or industry. Turns out I didn’t need the degree for the job, but going to school and making the connections was my way to get into the industry and my college program laid out the foundation of a path for me to travel. Love the videos Shane, wanted to share my story for other young artists/musicians.

1) identify interests (long lasting)

2) identify strengths and weaknesses (be practical)
*message people*

3) Setting future goals:
A) lifestyle? Travel, living, how much you want to work, salary, retirement age, where to live, being a boss or employee

4) Do research about the pathways to the goal. Your passion may not lead you to your goal as a degree. Maybe find a creative route (blog, youtube). Make a top 10.

5) narrow down and go to forums. Projection of jobs and understand day to day tasks.

6) Contacting people about jobs and ask them about jobs.

My dude, those short clips CRACK ME UP

[pawsnotclaws]

I already graduated but this is a great video for the youngins. I wish I saw this before I went to school

[TheWealthPrince]

Ohh boy didnt know you had pharmacy connections, thats the avenue I was originally going down before I chose finance. Anyway nice video man! One of my favourite channels!

I am 25 and just started to go to school on the spring of this year. No matter how many videos I watch or how many questions I ask myself, I can’t figure out for the life of me what career I could see myself getting let alone what I want to study. This might not seem relevant, but I’ve been sober since Jan 2019. My whole life I’ve been numbing myself, so I don’t even know what it is that I like or who I am even. My first year of sobriety was basically me just trying to survive living without drugs and alcohol and now I have an opportunity to live. I feel pressured to pick something soon because I really want to get out of the cycle of living pay check to pay check. There seems to be so many obstacles in the way and I’m determined to overcome them. I have type 1 diabetes along with ADHD and a mood disorder. Everything in my path I truly believe makes me a more emphatic individual but it’s difficult to cope sometimes. Okay, vent over. It’s nice to vent and let it all out in a little corner of the internet haha. I feel like an ant on the wall that made a little peep and the person in the room can’t figure out where the sound came from 😂😂

Thank you very much bro !! You have helped me a lot. I was thinking about studying economics, but when I really wonder why, I end up liking human resources management better.

[iamqtpie]

So, this is what I came up with for things I really like (in no particular order):
1. Linguistics (already have a BA and MA in this)
2. Psychology (working on a BS in this)
3. Animal husbandry
4. Problem solving
5. Helping people
6. Systems
7. Reading
8. Learning
9. Science
10. Research
My current job's totally unrelated to anything I've studied (of course). Waiting to hear back from my friends and family on strengths and weaknesses because I have no idea where to go from here....

All the way from South Africa, one is finding this channel with the most blunt and truthful content ever. People are used to the routine that after highschool, one has to rush into a college or varsity, and that it is a must to have career, and therefore major in a faculty. Well whilst there isn't anything wrong with that, there is just everything wrong with rushing into these colleges whilst you really still not sure, what u want to do with your life. Of which leads to people wasting their money and time and health. Thanks Shane, I find your content useful and thoughtful.

[ferdsmand_]

Ngl, I'm very grateful of finding your channel here in youtube. Looks like I picked a rare gem here.
