Im willing to bet that the people who makes these sorts of videos are the same people who dont take responsibility for their own study and learning in university.

I slogged on and off through a bachelor's for a decade. Switched it three times, studied science full time, language part time, before finally graduating. In the last year of that decade, I was diagnosed with ADHD and didn't even get treated until after graduating. It was extremely difficult and while I'm very happy with where I am now and am able to do a job I love and am good at, I do wish that I had more options laid out than 'go to uni or fail' I went to uni and failed a lot! 😅

"I've never met anyone who was REALLY passionate about art and also artily terrible" Ah, but you see, you've never met me clearly

Better get a manual trade job open a $1k index fund account and put away $100 each month by the time you are 50 can retire

Thank god uni is free in my country and its not really needed for a decent job, eventhough im still studying for bathcelors, you can get anywhere here if you are inteligent. i lowkey still dont know what to do with my life tho

uni is embrassing manh! the bullies, the nobodys, the drama never ends - assignments leading no where! its just a SCAM

Bunnings workers make more than nurses with a 3yr degree, just some info for all the young Aussies looking to do 😅

I laugh at ikigai... Because the Japanese are known for the worst work-life balance and people are using it as a guide 😂

As someone at the end of a medical degree (7 years of studies via grad/5-6 years via undergrad.) medicine is a terrible way to make money and to get into to "do it for the money" . Yes you pretty much are "guaranteed" a job earning aprox 80K (AUD) straight out of graduating but you will be work overtime regularly approx 70 hours a fortnight (more even) and if things are ideal you may have 2 days off in row maybe even 2.5. Don't get me wrong a starting salary that high + excellent job stability is good stuff but if you want those sexy 6 figures you are going to have to enter a career bottleneck which is generally highly competitive (more so than getting into med) which is postgrad training. It depends on what you do and where you do it but generally you will need to do additional study, work, pass more exams for years whilst working full time before you even get to the point where you are getting paid 6 figures. That's even if you get into the desired training you want (some programs accept 3-5 people a year, others you just need to do the right things and you will get it in Aus) its a terrible way to make money because the sheer amount of effort you need to put into to get to that career endpoint earning six figures + the sheer amount of work you do in general. This is without getting into the other aspects of medicine as field that makes the career difficult (i.e. you deal with suffering, you work in a system which is flawed, you have large amounts of responsibility, you are doing paper work alot, the weight of medico-legal concerns) which makes "doing it for the money or prestige" something unlikely to keep you motivated alone through such a challenging career. That being said I love what I study and can see myself liking the job I do next year, I find the challenge rewarding, the flexibility on what you can do is very nice, and the positive impact you have in people's life are some of the best moments. (Which aligns with the videos main point on why you should study something) TL;DR don't do Medicine for the money or prestige it is so much work and such a big challenge/effort vs. money ratio than people realise.| Edit: Yes my 3 year undergrad degree in STEM is useless (even though i liked what I learnt and where I learnt it) and didn't get me any employment in industry because entry level jobs in science have requirements which are written by people who don't understand what "entry level" means to job applicants or people trying to start their career

As a gen z/lawyer, I would say uni is great for those who are wanting to work in professional jobs that REQUIRE it i.e: doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants etc. I admire blue collar jobs, its often overlooked but is essential. If i could go back in time I would either enroll into medicine or trades. Law pays well, but it’s oversaturated and competitive. Some of my friends from law school are still looking for graduate jobs 2 year PQE. Landing a job is dependant on nepotism and or your connections. All in all, uni is not the be all end all.

I am European I spent 0.00 on my engineering degree bruv I do not care 😂🙌

A degree used to be kinda useless but weirdly enough because of the oversaturation of white collar workers, having that is your only real shot to either get accepted for an entry level position in your selected specialised role, or to move up later on I got an ICT degree years ago and still can't break into the market, i thought i made a bad call but whenever i look into job postings, even some entry level IT job requires you to have Cert III MINIMUM, and a degree on top of at least 1 year of experience if you want to do more than be a glorified desk jockey Sure the market sucks right now but for those who made the decision to pursue a degree, having one is still better than nothing

23% of Harvard's graduates from their Masters of Business Administration (MBA) are unemployed. That number should be 0%.

I chose BA Philosophy as my first degree because it sounds classy and mysterious. I later shifted to IT because that's where my interest lies.

There actually are good jobs available without degree. I am almost 20, don’t have one and am working as a developer. Just found my second job and it is going alright. The hardest thing was getting the first job. But that I consider easier because that at least depends on me. And this is step you will need to do anyway, right? My mom wasn’t very happy though) I am pretty sure that you can get into sales without degree as well. I am sure there would be good couple of other options as well. Just not set your life choices by indeed open jobs 😂

If you are determined and work hard, you will find work with any degree. You will not find work if your idea of work is a 6-figure salary fresh out of college.

I can tell you’re definitely Asian

I think the biggest thing for getting jobs in open ended and technical fields like web development and comp sci is to have an extensive portfolio ontop of your passion and job experience. In my experience, I pursued a web development degree, got my diploma and I have not gotten a single ounce of job or interview experience due to the lack of portfolio experience. On the flip side, I've been doing Graphic design as a hobby for nearly decade (started in early high school around 2017) and have built a portfolio in that and I am currently working as a full time designer with no college degree in Graphic Design. tl;dr passion > degree, just keep pushing and learn more. have fun in uni and find your passion.

being out of school for a few years whilst planning to study what i’m passionate about at uni has really taught me that what matters most is your passion, ambition and also connections.. if you don’t enjoy your degree and it’s not fulfilling then I really don’t see why you would study it.. and it’s totally ok to change your mind and I understand ppl have different societal pressures, etc. but to me passion is SO important. I really try to go out of my way to research how people with my interests have turned it into what they do for a living, and I also stay up to date on volunteering opportunities and even some paid ones so I can get more experience (i’m early into my esl teaching career rn btw but I want to get into linguistics) I know everyone’s situation is completely different and individualistic but this is just my opinion

im studying cs and my bachelor is under 20k 😅 i couldnt be more happy, i also have guaranteed internships 😊 if i didnt choose uni I would have definitely done an apprenticeship (if i fail uni im becoming a sparky for sure) in australia apprenticeships and certificates from tafe can be more impactful than 90% of bachelor degrees😂 you can get free education, get paid to learn, government benefits and support funds, drop out whenever you like and have no debt or regrets and if you push through you could get into a good trade and earn 6 figures. the wealthiest people I know did a trade and started there own business, giving them freedom to choose when they work, what they work on, and who they work with. apprenticeships need to be advertised more and looked down on less, they can genuinely lead to great careers, and all my friends who are currently completing one are enjoying life alot more than my uni friends😭

7:43 who is she?

15:52 I had some problems at home. I could get student housing and go away if I passed in the best college in my country. I applied for eletric engineering. I couldn't pass. My second choice was Physics. I was planning on transferring to engineering. But I found out it was what I really wanted. I don't regret it and I think that when you find your real desire, even if it doesn't pay absurdly well, you should choose it. I don't know if I will regret it. I am starting my masters now. I wouldn't have made this choice if I had to pay for college as some people do. But, I feel like I can improve the world a little bit with my research and this is how I choose to live.

I am a Physicist. It doesn't pay very well in Academia. It does pay better in the industry. I wouldn't be able to accomplish anything without my degree. I don't regret it. I found my calling. I didn't pay anything for college (the best colleges are public in my country).

Honestly every job will become boring at some point in your life. The trick is that it gets interesting when you get good at it. People often think the opposite is true ( passion first getting good later). Cal Newport wrote the best book in my opinion about this called so good they can't ignore you. I think it's a must read for everyone who is about to go to uni

The job market is fucked for everyone anyway.

Its been 11 years of me studying, now im going for another 3 (14 total) to work as a Doctor.......... Yeah, i didnt earn a penny since 2014

Honestly, the concept of a useless degree nowadays is kinda dumb since in a way they're all useless. People care more about projects, experience, and personality. Case in point, I have a friend whose sister majored in gender studies and immediately got a six figure salary out of college working HR at a major corporation (surprisingly, no nepotism involved). Meanwhile I've met STEM majors who struggle to still land an entry level job after college. At least in more developed countries, it seems the playing field has now been leveled for the people who can't afford degrees. Soft skills and experience is the name of the game now.

I took a 2 year gap year, tried finding work(failed) while learning low level German to move to Austria and go to uni there. I am here now, halfway into my German course in Austria, paying 1/9th of the uni price for a degree that will get me work in this country. I don't know for certain until it's all done, but I feel like my risk will pay off.

I hope no one seriously bases an important life decision on this superficial and poorly thought out video, the fact that you did something as prestigious as law is proof enough of degree inflation and the lack of rigour of the modern university.

Im from Russia and uni/colleges are about as useless here as they are in US. People constantly copy stuff for their projects or hire people who do it for them. Teachers are also corrupted. Outside of Msk/St. Petersburg especially. Education is a joke here. People go there just because it's accepted to do so in our country. They tell me to get a degree but what for ? What spending a million rubles and five years of my life there will give me ? I don't understand. Most graduates don't even get a job in their field after they're done with uni. This is surreal.

so what the fk do I do after I finish yr12

any1 here hiring in sydney? im open to work

The trick is not to get a high paying job, but to get a government job where you reduce the amount of work you do day to day.

13:45 nah but what the fuck happened in 2021 and 2022? Is having a degree a symptom of the coronavirus? 💀

It doesn't matter what degree you cjoose, you are ruined. Medicine, engineers, everyone

Missed the part where I’m too lazy to do self study and need a curriculum structure with deadlines to have the faintest hope of achieving anything

6:11 what is the easier ways of money ?

Nice Video Man :)

I can’t believe we’re this brainwashed for just finding a basic job to provide ourselves in this society.

Good video, i guess I lucked out in liking what i want to study and being quite good at it from as earliest i can remember. (it also happens to pay well and have alot of backup options, and is traditionally considered respectable)

3:50 based -39

Even tafe is expensive now

Notice how their arent many opportunities to start with anyways

I did an extra year for a second degree, one in literature and one in theatre. Became kind of disillusioned after realizing my options were either to further my academic prowess or some low paying theatre gigs. Drifted around doing blue collar work for two years after graduation (mostly house painting but also carpentry), which was satisfying but also back-breaking enough that I realized probably wasnt the way to go for the rest of my life. I started teaching kindergarten two years ago and it's been my life ever since... But I gotta say I don't see myself teaching in the long run either. It's scary reaching your late 20s and thinking about how shoddy your resume looks and how it'll affect your career in the long run - some days I sit in my morning hour long commute and wish I was a trust fund baby lol

I'm stuck in a shitty life science program just because I told my dad I liked skincare in grade 11 but now idgaf anymore and I hate bio and chem 💀

4:58 some people dont have the privilege to choose for reasons outside of money because college is their only option since they dont come from wealth

Adventure time clips = ez W

Luckily I did my degree while working a full time career job and progressing up the ranks from 19 (while living at home). I knew that it was important in many white collar jobs so I wanted to tick the box by pursing courses that aligned with my skills (provides a foundation for future studies/roles) and financially I’m in a stable place earning $100k AUD+ super, have a decent share portfolio (inside super and outside) and looking to buy my first place in my mid-20s. I’m not in my dream job but I’m comfortable. I’m not going to make bank like the top professions but I’ll be comfortable enough. Might pursue more schooling but I’d think long and hard about it going forward especially given the tuition prices compared to ROI. I 100% agree people should question more whether uni is for them, whether they are suited towards it, and consider getting work experience.

just learn to be a plumber or something like that and youl have no issues finding work that pays well enough

This is so relatable fr. I wanted to kms for years because of this issue. The government need to make changes so it's more straight forward for graduate to earn enough to support themselves!
