How can I make a call on the show???
College & education as a whole needs a serious revamp in this country.... you can learn SO much from literally just UA-cam
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 yup
or OCW or MOOCs - google them
But how will you get hired with your youtube degree.
It’s true but you can’t really provide proof of your knowledge. College is basically your credentials.
Yeah
The issue is that these "entry level" jobs require experience as well. How can a fresh graduate have work experience? Some of the entry level job requirements are ridiculous!
Facts
only way is to lie, use projects you did in school as "work experience" or do internships
Nice way of saying "they don't want to pay me what I feel entitled to get." Here's another one: "I can't get a job because I'm _too_ qualified."
This is nothing new.
The experience they’re looking for is internships
Man this reminded me of me when I graduated. I felt lost, went on a over a dozen interviews and they weren’t good or the right fit for me, felt completely worthless and had suicidal thoughts. Luckily the job I had now is something I enjoy and have been there almost two years. Pay is okay but the work/life balance is unbeatable.
Hang in there @Brad !! There’s always light at the end of every tunnel. Count your blessings and keep your head high! Look to God if u feel lost 👍🏼 praying for u my man!
Nice , sometimes it’s not about how much you make but if you’re happy and enjoy yourself.
Dang if you were still in that position you should right away make your resume better an more professional. That will catch the employers eyes. And then dress up professional for the interview
I'm literally in that same position that you were in man. Feels good to see that I'm not the only one.
@@michaeljobs5796 me too. Left my fam business and literally never thought about what to do either than the restaurant
I feel bad for him because he had no guidance whatsoever. No one in his family ever told him being a photographer doesn't require a degree, even at 25.
He should have googled it tbh.
@@LIVdaBrand When you don't have good guidance to fall on, it's easy to be so gullible.
It's a big lie when advisors tell kids "Do what you love" and the job market is not even recruiting for those jobs.
Could’ve just spent $15k on camera gear. $10k on coaching sessions. $10-$20k on business. Still cheaper than that piece of paper.
Definitely, most people are scared to invest in themselves other than the traditional college.
Spot on... 😬
60k only the tuition, you still need to add up living expenses and textbook expenses and other fees.
Who gives him the 60k?
Or you can join the military and get the piece of paper for free. That's what I did. Graduated not only debt free but with a nest egg and have a good job. If someone really wants to go to college and not have to take loans to do it, options are available. You learn to be proficient in your field in the workforce, not in a classroom, but I assure you that in many professions that piece of paper is very important to get your foot in the door. Application gets thrown in the garbage without it. Wouldn't be where I am without mine.
Speaking from experience, I think it’s the fact that going to college and getting a degree is pushed so much in HS. And they sometimes shame you for not doing so. There are plenty talented folks out there who are wasting their time in college. They should also keep in mind that their “dream career” might start off as a side hustle, whilst they work a job to put food on the table etc
I do freelance photography in Pittsburgh and know folks in Philly. I'd love to help this man out some way.
I am a 20 year old photographer from Northern Ireland and only making £6000 a year really struggling
@@DanielMooreDJ Unfortunately I don't know anyone over the pond but if you're interested in chatting about freelancing I can give you my instagram. My initial advice would be to work full-time and build your book of business on the weekends.
@@maxpetrosky2887 Thank you I would be interested in having a chat with you on Instagram 😃
I dont think you should go to college if youre not sure about what you want. 60k is a big price tag for something you don't even want anymore. So many four year degrees have such bad returns. If the job you want to get with your degree doesn't clear any debt you aquire in school in less than five years, its automatically not worth it.
He could start up a business but could have done that with no degree. His debt is high but he has no mortgage.
@@bighands69
He got caught up in that degree trap.
Get a math education degree - one of the most versatile degrees there is.
exactly. I'll only push my kids to get a degree if they wanna go into the medical, law, engineering or math/finance field. I unfortunately have African parents who forced me to go to college. Only way I wasn't going to college is if I had a successful business turning over like 100k a year. And even then they'd probably tell me to get a degree "just in case". However I'm glad my degree is somewhat respectable (economics), so I can likely get a decent job, then fund my investments & business ideas.
@@walshdog61 what do you thin about an economics degree?
Still young, lots of time, I'm glad you asked for advice!
Im 23 with a masters and bachelors degrees. It doesnt get easier but you have to keep going. Ive been job searching since september.
It’s been three years and I’m in your shoes. How did things go?
It's over bros
@@pokeman316 Hello, i just saw this. I did end up finding a job that I stayed at for a year and sadly laid off. Then I job searched for another 5 months and found a new job which wasnt great and didnt pay well. I then found a new job which im in being paid the most I ever have been paid!
Some degrees are just not worth a college education...
Nice comment .... Where are you from ?
He didnt say better than i deserve when asked how he was doing!!!! 😱😱😱
ILLEGAL !!
Where you been? He’s stopped saying that a while ago
He said new year new me
I say never go to college for a degree in the creative field. If you are talented you will make it without a degree in anything creative. Unlike being a teacher for instance where you won’t make a return on the college investment but its required for the job- you don’t need a degree to be creative or get a job (art, photography, film, etc).
Preach Queen!
💯
Are you working in art, photography, or film?
exactly. if it's not stem or finance/economics/politics, a degree isn't necessary. Honestly I don't think you need degree to get into the tech field either. you can do online courses & learn for free online
@@michael43567 no. You are wrong. My brother taught himself tech but due to a lack of degree he is paid small pennies. There are many companies out there that want qualifications.
Thank you so much for this video. I am in the same situation as your caller, and after three months of waiting, applying and being rejected, I thought the answer was to start my own essay coaching business. But my parents that I live with wanted me to start working at Amazon in customer support. I wanted to cry, because I thought that by taking that job, I’d be walking away from my dreams for good. Your video made me look at this differently, clearly, and actually put things into perspective. I’m better now, and I’ve put Mr. Coleman’s book in my cart. From the bottom of my ❤ thank you!
I didn't have anyone to tell me why I shouldn't go to college. My parents are in Mexico and it was the only thing my counselors said I do without having to continue working in agriculture. I got a communications degree but have not been able to get any gigs in Public relations. Currently work for a call center, but on the weekends I have been working as a photographer and booking clients on the weekend. It took me a long time to finally get clients paying for sessions. What worked for me was also working with local businesses and providing social media marketing for their companies. I work with a Taqueria providing drone videos and pictures of their monthly specials as well as food photography. It's been almost a year and this is one way I am adding value to myself with my degree so when I land a job as a social media marketer or photographer I have some experience to help me add to my resume. You can do this, it's gonna take a lot of work but its possible.
All about how you plan. I recommend starting at a community college to ensure you can pass classes and study ( all while cutting tuition cost). Then, move into a IN-STATE university. Study hard, get grants and scholarships. I did it this way and graduated with zero debt to my name. Graduated making 55k a year.
What is your career?
Do you mind me asking, what is your major?
Oh it’s so much easier said than done. I graduated with very little debt, only a couple thousand, but this is not a win all situation for everyone. It’s great it worked out for you, but that’s not always the norm.
@@ExtraordinaryFate No situation is ever really the same. Everyone has their own deck of cards. Still, PLANNING, determination and resilience is key.
@@threadhoney9445 I majored in General business (essentially a Business administration degree). Easy major in my opinion a simple, yet still a road business degree. Biggest step is to get experience at a well-known company STRAIGHT after graduation. Try and have a job lined up. College is great, but real world experience at a good corporation will be icing on the cake.
College was the best time of my life. I didn’t know how much life would change once I graduated, but boy did it! Good luck to this caller!
That's great man. Honestly it was horrible for me, but things are somewhat better after I transfer to a vocational college. I still support college because it could be what that unique person needs. Still, glad you have an epic time. God bless.
College was a great experience for me as well. Would have been a lot better without having student loans! Finally got them paid off!
I hated it
Duck u
Me too. Not because I had any fun. I studied all the time, day and night. It showed me what I was really made of.
I'm in a similar position but I've been lucky enough to keep my job. Although it's minimum wage, it's a lot better than nothing
Same
I am working like 70 hours a week. But thank god, minimum wage is good in Australia.
excellent,well-said, same here, just keep moving and Earning 👌
Feeling lost is one of the worst things ever. Luckily when I felt loss I was in community college so I had the luxury and I say luxury because if I was in a Cal state or university at the time it would’ve cost me so much money. At the time I was in community college I felt loss and switch from business to history. Fortunately I ended finding my way out. I remember I felt so loss I would get to school and sit in my car almost wanted to cry, depressed asf. Luckily I ended up switching back to my business degree into marketing. Now I’m in a good job and in my junior in a cal state. It feels awesome. It’s a lot of work but I love it
Our job does define us. Whether you are in a job you hate or unemployed and can't find work it really does take a toll on your mental health.
I work for myself and when work is slow it takes a toll on my mental health because I worry when this dry spell will end, or if I am not good enough or if my business will survive.
Saying this from experience since I’m also graduated college initially without a job myself. Degree in a career that make money to live on, use your passion as a side hustle until it overrides your main income. He should apply to as many jobs as he can that he qualifies for with his Communications degree. While he waits for a job, He can be a photographer as a side-hustle, along whatever work he can find temporarily (ex: Uber)
I applied for 30, eventually got two, and took the one nearest me. (Accounting).
You can take pictures without a degree, UA-cam University. Scramble mode buddy.
@brandon
Some fields are more about capabilities than qualifications. No body cares if you have a degree in art just that your art is good.
Uh oh, Casey is back to spam the working man. We thought he was gone. Nope, SPAMMER IS BACK!!!
This title is literally every graduate at one point
Not those who have a plan
He says UH a lot for a guy that got a degree in communications
Agreed. In my communications class in college, the instructor would deduct points if we used words like: uh, um and like. Apparently they don't do that at his college.
What is your degree in?
Um......
...
Communications.
@@front331 Same, they are called verbal pauses. We got major deductions if we used them in my communications class. And he is a communications major, makes no sense o_0
Keep going. Life has always been hard, but you just have to keep going with it. At the end of the day it's important to create and stick to a plan, then evolve to the situation. The end goal is always the same, however the journey is different. Just stop trying to control everything, and focus only inwards
I wouldn't say 'keep going with it' if it doesn't work. That's really bad advice that just leads people into more debt - I bet many people got into a hole because of that bad advice. It's better to keep going in life, but if something doesn't work, do something that does - that's what brings success to me.
@@extropiantranshuman that's why it's important to create a plan initially. If it doesn't work, as I said "evolve to the situation". Which means, change your plan, so that it works, and keep going with it. Thanks for your feedback :)
@@dangerchcovich7249 you have it backwards though, that's why I'm messaging - it's evolve to the situation and then form plans, but never leave the situation unless you're able to!
An old boss of mine had a communications degree and is now a VP at the construction company I worked at. He went straight to construction project management from college.
Many if not most people never use the degree they went to college for.
He got a degree in communications but can't communicate. Best of luck mate
Communication is not the same as public speaking. The guy is struggling with his life situation. Give him a break if he has trouble describing everything perfectly.
Communications degree... People need to learn how worthless that degree is.
As many other degrees.
He gets a degree in communication in order to communicate with Dave his student loan debt.
Oh no. Really? I had no idea 😂. Back in the day so many of my high school friends boasted that they got into that. I should check where they are now.
@@rachelgooden9981 They are communicating their struggles.
I graduated with a double major in Strategic Communications & Organizational Communication, and I graduated December 2020 and now I make 40k/yr. It's a good degree for marketing, advertising, conflict theory, human management, etc.
Know how it feels man. You’re just getting started so know in a year from now things will be different.
College graduates think it’s a free ticket to any job that pays 100k to start
STEM majors: "Yes."
I second this as a sophomore in college lol
Just came off a video where someone was whining about having a mental breakdown about the fear of having a mediocre job to start once graduating. Colleges are producing people who are are insanely fragile and feel entitled to extravagant jobs with no real world experience and effort put into EARNING these jobs.
@@starscream6629 Unless they do internships.
Yeah, rent and ish ain't cheap.
Great discussion dave
That’s great advice! I was a bit stumped as to what I’d tell the caller. I hope he finds his way.
Couldn't finish this video. With the caller showcasing his communication skills over the phone. He might as well leave his major off of his resume.
I hate to be mean but I agree
He needs a job, not the job.
At this rate, $15/hr minimum wage makes high schoolers not even want or need an edumacation.
@@ceecee8757 And that's sad. Why should anyone bother to be successful if they can just have it handed to them.
@@jimroscovius $15/hr is nowhere near successful
Success is simply a Mind Set. I graduated in Communications and The Wall Street Journal came looking for ME. I was the first person at the School of Communications to be recruited. This came because I hustled so much that my resume was overflowing. NBC TV, NBC Radio, Brown University Radio, Local Newspapers, College Newspapers and more. You have to make yourself the Prize and hustle like hell BEFORE you graduate so they are all bidding for you when you graduate. 😎
Girl I worked as a line cook with was in a similar situation. The restaurant put her in charge of the social media because they were new and didn't want to do it themselves.
He got a degree in communication but can’t even communicate better than the average Joe
I was wondering if it was just me 🙈
lol yas
Yes! Mr. Mumbles / marble mouth. Speak up and annunciate, son!!!
🤣🤣
No need to be disrespectful
Photography is also about networking. We chose our photographer based on personality as well as skill and someone who is organised and wants to hustle for their clients. Wedding photos are based on trust of the photographer.
Great advice! This dude has to just hustle his way into success! It won't be easy, but I think he can do it! He should also have a laminated business card to give to people to advertise himself.
Communications degrees are common at digital marketing companies, check to see if any in your area are hiring
I know a photographer that makes a killing dude just has high school diploma about 15000$ worth of equipment a 14 year ole Honda Pilot which I am his mechanic and lives 20 minutes from gatlinburg tn makes a killing

Well ya learning how to take pictures even at a professional level won`t require a degree.
Dave the 🐐.
I am 25 with a master's degree and still can't land a job, school is the biggest scam that teaches no guidance on how to land a job. I'm starting a business or freelancing service to pay off the loans.
3 internships, bachelor's, some work experience, and an MBA student and can't find a job. Feel totally, beyond, fucked
I know too many people with communications degrees who have no idea what to do with it.
You definitely need to research the incomes of different professions before you pick a major. You are essentially choosing the lifestyle you can afford by investing into your education. This is not something to be taking lightly. Good Luck🤞🏾
Communications gives you so many options. Event planner , media relations, journalism, sales. Since he likes photography Event planing may be up his alley.
Useless degree. Those things don’t need a degree.
@@mambofuego5101 I have a B.A. in Communications and Journalism. Has not gotten me in the door anywhere. Most of the things listed are more impressive with four years of experience than the four year bachelor's degree to employers.
@@mambofuego5101 useless or not at least trying beats sitting at home doing nothing.
TroxMacgee Sorry, but it may be helpful, but not necessary ..His time was wasted. Plenty of successful people in communications without degrees. Plus, unfortunately, I don’t think communication is a good fit for this gentleman. Especially when he wants to do photography.
lombardo141 Had he just sat home and done nothing, he would have been ahead.. with no school debt. He could have spent his time learning to actually communicate... Which is free...
Great video and great topic!
Great advice.
I bet Frank knows how to use social media platforms. If he knows photography he surely can edit and resize jogs. Social media marketing and management is a job in itself for many companies...even remote work.
Family portrait and wedding photography is not the most interesting work but it pays well and people still want someone to capture their special moments even if gatherings are limited.
Hustle Frank!
Communications degree says sales. You can make a lot of money in sales and your degree will be useful.
Advertising, marketing, business presentation, websites and so on.
He could start a real estate photograph buisness where he sells photos for ads on houses
School is a waste in my opinion if it doesn’t directly impact your job. For example, you have to go to school if you want to be a doctor or a lawyer. So many people graduate and get no job and get depressed/discouraged when they have a mountain of debt and are working as a server in a restaurant. My cousin was a very smart girl in school. Business admin major. Graduated, had no job, and now teaches English in Korea trying to find herself still. I think she’s in a little depression from it and I hope she finds her way!
But business majors get many jobs if they do accounting or finance
Wishing my man frank the best seems like a cool dude
Degree in communication. Says ums and uhs throughout the whole phone call 😂
Bruh 😂
He definitely needs more male mentors, needs to network , and put himself out there . Use the degree. It's a good degree, he can get into pretty much anything.
(reads title) Yep, sounds about right. I had the shirt too. "I graduated, now what?"
4:57 Are Dave and John suggesting he sabotage the wedding photographer to steal the gig lol
if your not making RICH FRIENDS IN COLLEGE your doing it wrong!
it really depends. in the business world rich friends can be good but if you're in the STEM field it doesnt really matter
I love this show
I’m in a similar boat, just graduated with a CS degree, no debt, but no job. I have a lot in savings but it’s so hard to find jobs rn
In a similar situation but with debt. I’ve been applying and applying.
Same here. No debt, but no job. Been applying for a year now. It’s very exhausting.
@@TheGuitarGuyCody it is exhausting. It’s been more than a year for me. Try applying for an international internship. Look up CareerUp.
Get an internship first paid or unpaid it will help, then you can put that in your resume and get an entry level job or apply for h.r position in a tech company
@@lotuswolf1518 Why does no one like myself get told about internships these days. I lost my first job after my A.A and I got to college without no work experience for my resume but they give us no way to get experience. How the heck do you get experience for the job if you don't get the opportunity.
Colleges and specialists don't help students out enough to get those experiences with opportunities. They just apply to jobs but they want experience? But you have to work to get experience? How? Then that's where internships come in.
I love how Dave just casually mutes people lool. Poor Frank was talking to himself at 1:49
I always wondered if Dave’s button was mute or hang up. Now I know!
When you go college you have to have a plan or this happens 😟
What is far more important than a plan is determination. I seen people with very poor academic records do extremely well because they were so determined. It is something you can actually develop your self.
Yes, a life lesson I learned the hard way. Always have a plan.
Even with a plan, it can all go wrong
@@Native722 facts
Real estate photography could be an option with lockdowns limiting weddings etc.
Tons of other experienced photographers out of work are thinking the same thing. It's a hard career to get into right now.
For sure. It’s a grind and not huge paying either.
Wow Dave is in a good mood today.
😀😀
My advise to that kid is apply for any entry level jobs in brokerage industries. I work for a brokerage firm and your degree really doesn't matter as long as when you get an entry level job you study and pass your license exam.
bad advice to solicit to the customers on the floor of a retail outfit like Home Depot is a fast way to get yourself fired
I was lost too then I decided to do EEG which only took a year of college 😊
Call me an idiot, but I think that not all students in high school realize that their studies are preparing them for college, not life.
I didn't realize that I had no idea what I was going to do after high school. I got a degree in management (feels like underwater basket weaving to me), and I'm not sure what to do or what I enjoy doing as a job
Dang. Do you have a job though?

You listened to this call.
Any comment someone make will be like making fun. No way around it.

A communications degree is as good as any other degree.

I’m sure that’s what the college representatives say while pushing those student loans.
Unfortunately wasted my University degree on Art. Learnt a lot from that and now doing much better!
Lots of demand for UI and UX people in web development.
@Didar
If you really want to make serious money from an arts degree go and learn painting and decorating after.
Use that art then as part of the decorating trade and you will earn a fortune. Especially if you build a good portfolio to demonstrate to clients what you can do.
Agreed!
My advice would be to use the degree, pay off the debt, build up a savings. All while doing photography on the side. At the point photography is making you more than your day job or could if you went full time then quit.
yikes, he isn't good at communication, maybe just nerves....
Yeah.. not very easy to understand..
he said "hi Deev" definitely nerves
@@joseph_sse His communications degree is supposed to teach him to overcome nerves to communicate effectively in any situation.
@@TheLivedeath correct but he sounds very stressed and overwhelmed. He reminds me of me when I was in that situation many years ago.
He just needs to get any job right now to tide him over until he gets the job he actually wants. A degree in communications actually is a pretty solid degree. He will find another decent job again in time.
No communication is normal , he should have gotten pharmacy degree we always need people in medical Jobs 👍
Everyday I'm hustlin! ~Rick Ross....LOL
As a fellow Philadelphian, I feel for him. He should start building up his photography portfolio and start with some freelancing jobs. Then he can build up his brand/reputation.
Even if he can only do $10 jobs it will be a learning curve and also build his reputation.
Why go back to school at 25 for a field he wasn't even in. Shouldve stayed out of school or got a CC degree
My thought exactly. 18 yo can get a pass but a 25 yo should know better. But even at 29, he just wanna do what he enjoys, photography

The financial advice is to set up chairs and be Superman when the photographers car breaks down or it’s too snowy? Really? 😂😂
Is management information systems a good degree?
When it comes to college, it’s all about picking the right degree! For my younger people, do your research on what you think you may want to do beforehand. I would stick to Stem, anything related to medical, finance and law. If you only want to teach then you can entertain other fields.
Dont forget Computer Science, IT or software development! Thats a great investment as a degree
@@Hamza_Aziz I'm about to graduate with a CS degree and, though I've had a few internships, getting a full-time offer seems hard. Starting to seem like a bad investment.
@@j.d.waymond6355 I've learned that companies would rather outsource programming work in cheaper countries. Also the job is tough since you always have to adapt to evolving technologies which gets hard the older you get since the work is extremely stressful and tiring.

STEM is oversatured
Dave: Was it a customer, or were you working for somebody?

I went to college in Philadelphia in the 90's. At that time, if you were a Communications major and you wanted to get into the Radio/TV/Film industry, it helped to be a graduate of Temple University and you had to join the union. If you had relatives or friends that were union members that was a bonus.
Graduated college in 2008 and never found a job. Worst time to graduate. Oh well, it just wasn’t meant for me to work.

45k for a house? Never thought I could find a house for that price.

There are houses all over America that can be had for that. Many are small and out side the main centers.
You will not get something in a major city for that but outside that you will. People have even bought houses for $5000 and renovated them.
I used to buy cheap houses decades ago and renovate them and make a good profit.
Because many are lazy don’t look and assume everything is more than $200k so they buy what they can’t truly afford..

When are people going to stop getting degrees that are not in demand. We are failing our kids by not providing them with STEM skills. Most of the quants at my work are all foreign educated.
That boy is ready to become an photography officer in the military.
Man - this is a case study in spending too much money on a degree that simply isn’t necessary. It’s very simple to show communication skills via a portfolio using social media. More and more college degrees simply are unnecessary.
You don't need a 4 year bachelor to take pictures...
A lot of us feel like we have to goto college to be something. I will say it’s kinda cultural. I’m personally against it. I only have 15k in debt but I don’t recommend college just for the sake of having a degree.
College doesn't equate to job
I can sympathize with this young man....HOWEVER, people need to stop taking these garbage and worthless degrees in college. The future is in the STEM areas.
The future is whatever marketable.
exactly. personally I like to say SEM because you don't need a degree for tech anymore. There's free info online, courses & companies like Google don't even care for degrees
I disagree. Although the STEM fields are highly desirable, so is digital advertising. A person who knows the ins and outs of that and SEO is also highly desirable.
It’s a good degree, you don’t know what you’re talking about. To say only STEM degrees are useful is ignorant
Communications in 2021 is ver relevant. It has to go with the right person though....
Either a day when the wedding photographer does not show up, or s/he forgot to put film in their camera. Either way, be ready to take your place as photographer and shine.
Communications? Not tryna be negative here but that's not a great degree.
Not a great major for someone like the caller, who doesn't seem sure about what he really wants to do. Students frequently fall into communications when their 1st choice major doesn't work out & they want to salvage a degree from all their credits.
worst advice I ever received was to major in communications
Another idea, start getting on car forums, go to cars and coffee. People with cars love good photography.
Welcome to the real world........it begins after schooling
