45 min vlog for a normal person. "That's way too long"
45 min vlog for tekking
"That's expected"
elijah brown 😂😂😄😄😄
A minimum of 40 minutes is necessary for it to be a tekking vlog
Loved the transparency here man. Been a fan for a while now and that honesty has kept me coming back. I'm a year older than you but I did the same thing. I got my degree, I'm glad I have it, but I don't know if I'll ever be satisfied with a "normal" job. I certainly don't have the UA-cam thing going for me but I manage in my own right and that's fine by me. If anyone scrolls by and reads this. Be content with the choices you make and always have a plan. We're under so much pressure to "make lots of money" but that's not the only way to live a life. Be comfortable being you and carve out your own place that betters yourself and others in society.
Thank you so much for this message. Being a transfer to a new college, I definitely have been having a bit of an existential crisis....
Sho Aquedus I see myself being alive to give any form of reassurance and even guidance if I can. Existence in general is tough, especially in those college years where you're transcending your former young self with the you as a functioning member of society. All I can say is to throw yourself into your field and make sure you enjoy it. I won't say be sure you enjoy everything, but when times get tough focus on the exact portions that bring you a smile and make you feel alive. Jobs and money get us through life but if you aren't enjoying your time outside of that existence can be dreadful. Feel free to throw whatever you need to talk about at me and I'll give my two cents if you'd like me to. I'm always glad to further anothers happiness
Hope it's going well mate.
@@MidosujiSen been job hoping and found myself in a job that speaks to my generational understandings, manual labor outdoors. Its tough work but the field I'm currently in has a component of chemistry and intellectual intelligence to it. I believe I found something I can do for the long-term, that isn't all encompassing, that allows me time to delve into hobbies.
Funnily enough I've hit a personal confidence within the past few days that makes me know I'll turn my hobbies into something transcendental for myself but more importantly at this point in my life, for others
I honestly didn't notice much of a change in terms of Tekking swearing.
You're a good guy tekking. You being financially stable isn't just a stroke of luck, you put a huge amount of effort in this channel and you deserve this!
Tekking's Vlog - > *44 minutes*
I want to see a Dr. Tekking one day!
Watched this when I was 13. Now I'm 19 and honestly, Tekking's experiences are hitting closer to home now and I find myself relating here alot, gonna watch this again when I'm 24-25.
DON'T EVER STOP THIS CHANNEL! The world needs you. THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO!
So nice to look back at this after Matt has moved in to his new place.
I went to college for years and I learned something important. It doesn't matter what you know, but who you know. You can have all the degrees you want but if you can't secure a job on just a resume alone, you're SOL. But if you know someone who can get your foot in the door, you're practically already inside. I also learned college isn't a guaranteed thing for jobs. I got a job faster from a two month CDL school than years of college. Believe me, Matt. Its tough out there but if you can make it happen with your education and career pursuits, it's all worth it.
This helped me mentally because I start going to community college this week and I wasn’t sure if I can handle it. But listen to your college experience it doesn’t make it out to be as bad as the teachers in high school say it is. Thank you tekking! This is QUALITY CONTENT!
fortune teller katakuri As long as you stay in class and do the work seek help when you need it you'll be fine. I highly recommend getting a degree in a field that you can immediately apply it in. The more ambiguous and less practical the harder it is to get a job with it.
Well yeah, nobody wants to be begging for change behind the 7-Eleven. The key is to beg for change in *front* of the 7-Eleven. Your planning needs some work, my friend.
What an amateur, amirite?
@@srikargovindarajula An amateur that has 400k subs?
° I'm pretty sure this is gonna backfire on me, hard.
Man I'm 24 and idk where I'm gonna be in 10 years I don't even know where I'm gonna be next week
Hope it got better dude, I understand perfectly
Thinking about the future is depressing😂😂
This deserves more than 24k more views.
I miss Old room. You should do a mock set and convince everyone you never changed rooms. Make your downstairs room look just like this
It would be expensive and unnecessary but I would appreciate the production quality.
just getting an education in general is a good enough reason to go to college, it can be a pursuit of knowledge instead of a pursuit of money/job. Because you are being eduacted your youtube channel will perform better because of your greater knowledge
Always nice to look back and watch this. Im a senior in college and i feel i watch this video once a year since i was a sophomore lol. Your outlook on life is something i hope to emulate in my own life, your positivity is unmatched.
i finished college back in january 2023 and decided to rewatch this. i feel the same way now as you did in this video. cheers
How would you even figure out what you want to do in life during high school when the only thing you have to worry about is not failing a class.
I mean you could look up to someone and say "hey, that guys cool. I want to do that when I grow up!" This just makes everyone want to become a UA-camr or singer or entertainmer, or etc.
The only way you'll truly see if you like something is to experience it first hand. Watching others who've already become successful leads you to start assuming aspects of the life they lead and if you could follow that ideal life as well.
Idk maybe I'm wrong and maybe I'm just a dumb edgy teenager, but still, lol.
It's because you only have 1 worry that you can volunteer shadow attend summer programs etc just to see what you're interested in. That worry is even less of a factor if you learn the material and have some command over it. Personally back in hs I didn't know what I wanted to do but I got a good foundation and a sense for where I wanted to focus my education. The biggest thing I can recommend is don't get a bullshit degree and don't let partying and friends fail you out.
thebahooplamaster I had things figured out in Middle School. I was going to be an engineer. And in regards of worrying about failing I was never worried about failing in my school class work and tests count for 70% of grade so I just got a hundred percent on those and did nothing else.
Dude you are awesome man and I am so happy I found your channel. I will graduate in Fall and you just give me the inspiration to keep going !
We need more honest tekking videos like this ❤️
Matt this really spoke to me man I'm 18 a student in college and your vid gave me a much needed push to see the light at the end of this educational tunnel
after almost 5-6 years watching tekking i think i found my favorite video
Congrats Tekking! Getting your degree and being done with school is quite the accomplishment!
Thanks for sharing your story. I can relate to a lot of your experiences in school as someone who didn't know what to do with themselves for the longest time and didn't participate in clubs or socialize much. I'm currently taking some extra time to get my degree, and at times it's felt like an endless journey, especially because there's so many other things I'd prefer to focus on. But like you I know I'll feel incredibly satisfied and proud of myself when I finally receive it and am done with schooling.
Hope the house hunting goes well! I'm excited to see what you'll do with your channel now that you're completely done with school.
Your degree is like a backup career, you can always rely on it if anything happens. 😁
Ahh to be young and naive.
ASL ftw! I took 3 years in high school and loved it. We had an awesome teacher and the deaf community is so much fun to be a part of, I still sign and plan to for the rest of my life
Kelsey Boze Well, I wish we had something like that over here in Europe... I got diagnosed as being hard of hearing about a month ago and I wish I had learned ASL. Now studying medicine, I have neither the time nor the opportunity to learn it...
I just joined ASL club at my high school today
If you have spare time (which I know is hard to come by) you can learn a lot of basic signs and phrases online, you don't necessarily need a class to teach you. Also make friends who sign, the most important thing to do when you start learning is to practice and expose yourself to as many signers are you can
That's the difficult part. I know nobody who has interest in learning Sign Language. There are also no courses at my University, and there were none at my High School as well... Well, maybe there's an online community for that.
February 2024. I hope this youtube thing works out for Tekking 😎 Great job young Tekking
I passed the Pssa in 8th 7th 6th grade. Now I gotta take the keystones in the spring
I'm in graduate school for computer science right now, congratulations on being done!
Kisamefishfry nice job! I was wondering if you always wanted to go into computer science? In my senior year of high school I didn't know what to do so I just chose to major in CS because I knew the job outlook was growing in that area and they made above average money. But after my 1st semester I HATED it. Especially discrete math 😠 granted I had absolutely no experience with coding 😖 I did alright in my Intro to CS class. But I hated sitting behind a computer for hours trying to write code. I guess you have to be passionate about CS to be able to succeed in that major.
Well, it probably isn't too much of a surprise that it started as wanting to do Game Design. That had been my goal since I was 5. (like actually 5, I tried to design a game on paper and I sent it in to Nintendo) When I was a Freshman in high school I took my first programming course, I liked it a lot but it was still all about making games. I continued doing computer science until I got into College where I majored in Software Engineering. It's really similar to CS, but more focus on development cycles and managing. Over the four years I found my niche in the field which is lower-level CS. Stuff like operating systems, security, parallel processing etc. I was going to just go into industry after I graduated but after talking a lot with my girlfriend and getting stuck in a lot of personal projects I realized there was just more I wanted to learn in the field. I'm still not entirely sure what I want to do in CS (and I also do game design/analysis as a hobby) but my research is in GPU optimization, which I have a lot of fun with. So in short, not really. There are lots of different kinds of CS, some barely involves any programming at all. Your story is actually a pretty typical one, I TA in Minnesota currently and there are a lot of students that have very mixed feelings about CS in intro classes. Unfortunately sitting in front of a computer all day is pretty unavoidable lol. My lab actually does a lot of VR, so you move a good amount in testing that, but 90% of the time you are on a computer. My real drive in computer science is being able to do things. My motivation for going to graduate school, and even my major in general was always focused on how I can use what I learn to do what I want. After all, CS started for me because of game design. If you are still looking for a major, or a topic to study in general, I would suggest something that you actually see yourself doing on the side for fun. Typically it's the things you enjoy personally that you will make the most out of. And don't worry about money, if your good enough at almost anything you can make a living out of it. Cheers!
Kisamefishfry wow 5?! I guess you knew what you wanted to do early in life. Thanks for sharing your story! I wish you luck and success in graduate school and thereafter!
This man has the longest vlogs of all time
23:53 Tekking throwing up his set
so in high school, you were Sanji?
Congratulation! It is a big step in life. No more exams and papers :D Well done, Matt! :*
I was born in 1992, started going to university in WS 2011/12. I want to finish it and be a Dipl. Ing. (it is like a master of engineering, just that you never got a bachelor before). I just need to write my master thesis (Diplomarbeit) to get it. :D
I study in Germany, it´s free to go to university here.
Nefertari Well, not entirely. I study medicine at the Goethe Uni in Frankfurt and the semester fee is 366 Euro pro semester. Still though, nothing compared to the outrageous loans and fees over in the US.
That is true. Those are not the tuition fees, it´s an extra fee. We get a ticket for public transportation for a semester and also can use the regio train in our state for free. Back in 2011/12 Bavaria still had the tuition fee (500€, 620$) additional to the extra fees. I wanted to say that the tuition fees are no more and that you get something from the extra fees. But you are right, you need to pay a bit each semester. The good thing is that Germany has BAFÖG. :D
How I envy you Germans lmao. I’m over here in New Jersey drowning in debt :D
Well, each country has it's own positives and negatives. For instance, if I fail an exam twice, I can no longer study medicine in Germany. Which could make years of hard work and learning pointless. Also, if I'm not mistaken, all the other citizens have to pay higher taxes compared to the US, in order to fund the Universtities. So think of it, that everyone has to pay for the College funds of others. Also, for the tuition fee I have to pay money for things I have no use for, such as public transportation. Money going down the drain... I'm not saying that the US has a better system than Germany, far from it actually. Was I'm saying is, that each system has it's own positives and negatives.
Damian the best system is no government. Germany is dying in its socialist paradise
✋ Show of hands. Who else watches the Tekking channels to listen to this hilarious weirdo? No one cares about the swearing.✋
oliverimhoof me ✋
How to hands?
I just love how you can speak in such a sincere way.
Nothing wrong with Having an education glad to be a somewhat longtime sub
Damn Tekking, at the University of Toronto the tuition for BBA is $19k but because it is a public university I get fully funded by the Governments of Ontario and Canada and the university itself. DAMN US UNIVERSITIES!
Congratulations Matt :> And good luck!
Edit. Also, I usually find vlogs very boring, but your sincere delivery made this a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Good job.
THANKS 🙏🏾
Watching these personal videos really gives me some insight about parts of you ive never thought of. You are awesome Tekking! Whatever may happen to your youtube career, i will be here to see it through.
Yeah In Australia we have the OLNA tests, basically the same as standardized testing only it's ranked from band 1-9 to pass you need band 8 or better. And it's all so stupid.
Also congrats man good job on that degree.
This is so relatable to me right now because I’m a freshman in college, and I feel the exact same way about the classes I’m taking.
I see you changed that Strawhat poster
I swear i love these videos
Glad to see you're achieving outside of UA-cam! You deserve it dude, you're obviously a hard worker and hella creative. Whatever you do don't stop making vids. Love everything you do!
I’m graduating this fall with a ba in history then going straight to get my masters in history and teaching. Super excited to finally be done with school by the age of 25( I’m 22 right now). Any kids hating high school now don’t worry, college is so much better. I had like a 2.0 gpa in high school lmao but in college atm I have a 3.8. Please survive you high school careers because once your done college is amazing
I hope they have good computer science stuff when I get there.
Brooooo! You know what to do when you get your own place.... video idea!!!
Also, you are very smart for having a hustle on the side. That’s the smart thing to do, honestly, and as you said, UA-cam is not a guarantee in the long run, cause we don’t know what the future may hold
I would 100% watch a Tekking late night talk show. Just you totally off script/prompter talking to guests about random topics and current events bullshittery. It'd be great.
aka he should have a podcast!
Thank you for your input! This video is still as relevant as ever 👏🏼
(13:00) it’s crazy because that’s what it’s like for me right now at university studying graphics design. Essentially everything I’m studying right now is what I’ve already done previously but I’m glad you said your experience was like that to begin with
I took Japanese 9-11 grade but the school got shut down
I think you would be a great teacher man. Good on you though, about to finish off my bachelor's and my feelings are mutual
finally, someone I can relate when it comes to college life and facilities
U did it man
im 20 and your vids are awesome lol
Alas! I already graduated from university ...and surprise, surprise...do a job that has nothing to do with my engineering degree (but earns a decent amount of money).
23:05 "its better to rip that band aid off and highschool then it would be in like highschool" 😂 words by tekking
i graduated high school last year and i remember everyone trying to have me decide what i want to do.... Just starting community college they made everyone take a class what you want to do even though were taking general studies for an associates.
I actually really enjoy these videos.
The class of 2017 got the worst of standardized testing (in Washington state anyway), we went through the MSP and WASL and then we had the SBAC and new SAT and were the last year before they required more science credits and "mindfulness" as a graduation requirement -_-
Finishing something for the hell of it never seemed a good thing to me...
Matt, this is the most important video you've ever made
Bowling for soup- high School never ends
I like the way you say "again"
i love the audio in the first minute xD
I am from the future, and you still living with your parents.
I'm going to taking sign language next year in high school
Congratulation! I really liked this video, you gave a lot of great advice! Also, I'm Italian so it was very interesting getting to know how the American school/college system works. Now I'm taking a master degree but, like you said, when someone asks me what I will be doing in 5 years I always answer that I don't really know 😂 So let's just hope for the best! Anyway, thank you so much for all your videos, I love them!
Lol @Tekking in Cali our junior year tests can have the scores used to exempt from the retaking of classes in college for stuff like algebra
Tekking when you said that you made a devil fruit video a year ago I was like nah that was only like 2 months ago. Shit time flies
I really enjoyed watching this.
I live in Pennsylvania too and we still take both keystone's and pssa
You’re lucky. In my high school, were required to take 2 years of a language in order to graduate...
in mine its 3. You had it good.
Congratulations! I've just started my "adventure" with studying at the University, so I'm a little bit jealous haha
UCF is at least 10k for a full time student a year, and that's without living on campus and in-state tuition
Nice vlog, do more of these
Tekking yo hablo español y me gustan tus videos alguien mas aqui habla español, saludos desde Mexico. (Tekking I speak spanish and I like your videos anyone else here speak spanish, greetings from Mexico.)
Gus Cementman yo también soy fan!!! De México igual!!! Saludos
7:48 truuu
Man everytime I hear that people had such a lax senior year with like 2 classes a day.. WTF I NEVER HAD THAT my 4 years was my like 7 classes every day just happening at different time with a rotation. No study hall, no leaving early, no choosing classes, none of that shit. Then I went to college and it sucked.. literally talked to no one and hated it. HS was probably my best years honestly. I was friends with everyone in a huge class. I was the one kid in the school who knew everyone and I had no problems. I gotta go back :/
I did in fact had it as background sound but i was listening while i was working ._.)
Tekking1001: Which University did you attend? I am curious.
Guys, I have something that really bothers me. Is it bad to graduate from college (with a bachelors degree) at the age of 24/25?
Im 20 and have been at university for 2 years, changed courses this year because i wasnt liking my other one
My high school experience is pretty similar to tekking's lol. Currently in my last semester of my senior year
The American education system is so weird compared to the Dutch 🤔🤔🤔
Yeah, I chose international businesd management as my major because it pays extremely well. But other than that I want to finish my bachelor in management and do dual masters in business and probably do a bachelor in economics and political science in case management doesnt work I can work on the other two.
I'd watch The Late Late Show with Matthew Crawford.
I fell like I just watched a ted talk
PSSAs are still there until you reach high school
We just got sat also
I was playing breath of the wild but that late night talk show host thing sounds really solid. I'd love to tune in to his show one night and tell my kids " iv watched this guy since he did manga and anime shit on You Tube.....still chingy as fuck."
You never took Calculus? Wtf is your highschool doing Matt?
Stelios Toulis ey I didn’t take calculus In high and i’m in college rn
Erik Torres what are you studying there?
Watch manyuu hikenchou it’s a anime about Chifusa a female samurai who must steal Brest and increase her bust size
Congrats
CRACKLE!!! Swears yay!!!!
Good video
Damn I'm bout to be 24 in April but I basically took a year off right before I got my associates worked 2 retail jobs made bank and I actually like them(No regrets). But In Fall I need to go full steam ahead till thee end. I just really need to get set on what I truly wanna do. Im always on the computer so I kinda settled in that. Something in computers. Playing Video games is my passion but that's like a twitch career.
So you're majoring in computer science?
Ro Jack basically
7 ppl are just jealous! holy cow!
I’m in the 11th grade and I have regents..
I don’t like how they don’t teach me Japanese tho but
*I WILL BUY THAT DAMN BLACK EDITION DEATH NOTE MANGA*
Ive seen in movies that highschoolers take like a test that tells you what your most likely to have as a career ..... is that a real thing?
