Not saying that I haven't made videos on topics that I don't totally understand but I always try my best to not sell viewers snake oil. What are your thoughts on this?
I totally resonate with you bro. But the way you got different creators to say literally the same thing at different times is cool, 👏👏 Thanks for being realistic.
hehe. i only do video tutorial after work 20 years in software . i maybe sloowww should make video while work ? (mostly i dont have time in those years). covid 19 with lockdown which only me give a bit time to document back all my code at github ,youtube and medium.
What they do is buzzword spamming…many media sites do that too…with various clickbait. I had and have contact to many people at work and at my customers….they all believe that they can manage a k8s cluster after a 2 day vid course or can handle Linux infrastructures just by doing braindumps. Reality is…these people are scammer who can do nothing.
"Because during a gold rush you make more money selling picks and shovels rather than actually digging for gold" - Best quote. Cheers mate for pointing these fraudsters out!
I'm a Software Engineer irl. They're called grifters and fake gurus. It has become a recent trend since work at home became a thing due to the pandemic. Sad to say, these scams work because people are so desperate to seek an easy office job they can do at home while being paid a huge sum of money. Get rich quick n ez scams. The reality is that you've got to put in the work and experience into those positions, which people don't want to really do.
@@noire.blackheart You have no idea how much I hate these fucking weirdos! I hate them so much! My father advised me that some people are just meant to get taken advantage of and that I should just make sure I don’t lol
Removing dislikes makes filtering out these videos at a glance so much harder. But we are not going to offend the sensitivity of the creators, creators without any empathy, just searching for fast money. Thanks UA-cam! And thank to you for making and sharing this video
This is the Extreme Political Correctness or Californian ideology. The all world do not understand those type of "movement" from UA-cam. Liberty of expression and as well disliking something is part of the human process to improve ourselves. "avoiding" the truth (here as an example: Doing/Saying something on your UA-cam video) is really wrong for the creators and the users. I feel that this platform (UA-cam) is simply getting a cultural "revamp" and pushing more "stupid" and "main media/Do not use your brain" more common in our recommendation. But isn't the issue with the FANG's? Having a better control on the people who watch/use your tools instead of understanding their users. let's hope the web 3.0 with better decentralization tools will help the society to have more freedom and a better judgment coupled with critical thinking and more tools/education to understand the layers of stupidity in a video.
You literally earned my respect with “You earn more money during a gold rush selling picks and shovels rather than actually digging for gold” I had to subscribe 🤣
@@biggalaxy9102 they aren't using it incorrectly if it's standard usage has changed. Language is fluid, like how a few decades ago people didn't write "Lmfao" in every sentence they wrote. Why would it 'blow you away' anyways, it's so small and irrelevant to the rest of what the guy said
I am a full-time software engineer who makes a little over 100k/year. I also run a web dev agency that makes less than 9k/year. Mind you, I have 10 years of Software development experience in over a dozen technologies. The idea of earning 100k/year just because you got a Google course is ridiculous and unrealistic. I agree with Dorian 100%
Adam, I want to shift my career to from architecture engineering to front end developer. Is HTML,CSS,Java and react enough to get a job ? I'm open for any advice.
It took 1.5 year for me to learn Web Design in London school but no one ,absolutely no one was willing to to pay a dime for my skills just after I got my certificate. Thank you for this video mate.
You need to learn how to sell as well. You can have all the skill in the world without knowing how to sell your services to businesses, you will remain broke.
It's good to have people like you around online platforms. I'm sick of these unqualified people just creating videos and direct people to nowhere. Thank you for your time to make this video.
That's why I have not and will never respect or understand people that do things for the sole purposs of money because those kinds of people don't take the job seriously, mess up stuff, don't know what they're doing or can't do the job correctly, put in little to no effort and hoarding a spot meant for someone with real skill/talent. It does more than disgusts me.
Yeah. You don't want to freelance if you're trying to hit $100k. You want a corporate job to hit those numbers. Once you get a cert (that no one cares about) you can definitely build a resume by doing freelance (work which is what I did). I'm now reasonably well paid.
Seeing these people do and say the same things was honestly hard to watch for me. I would never have the courage to expose this problem as you did, many people will be grateful to you, including me.
I get that. It’s hard because I feel like being raised on the internet was the perfect environment to create a bunch of mindless people pleasers (talking about myself here). Everything is explicitly designed to matter to us and affect us right in the monkey brain, where raw emotion is more powerful than logic. The like/dislike system is especially powerful because it’s a quantifiable way to play on our biological instinct as pack animals to conform and be liked. So if you notice something is wrong, and say something, and are publicly bashed, downvoted/disliked into oblivion, and receive what feels like an endless wave of hate in front of the entire world, you will be VERY scared to do that again. First you just stop calling things out. Then, as the instinct to stay with the group opinion to keep yourself safe takes over, you eventually stop thinking for yourself at all and just look to what others are saying to decide what you should think. After a while, you just stop noticing when things are wrong at all, other people’s opinions become your own. And suddenly you, who used to be so sharp and savvy, as well as everyone else, have become very easy to manipulate, as you no longer listen to your own opinions and instincts, but only to what others are saying. I believe this was designed on purpose to make us easier to capitalize on by big companies. But even if it’s just an accidental byproduct of how apps and websites are designed, it still definitely has very serious effects. Especially since the pandemic and having spent so much more time online, I’ve definitely noticed a huge increase in the amount of scams, bullshit, and misinformation I simply haven’t noticed due to a lack of critical thinking; stuff that a few years ago I would have NEVER fallen for. It’s definitely hard to unlearn, and takes time. But videos like this help a lot for me to recalibrate my intuition so that in the future, I can trust myself more and be better at noticing when something seems wrong.
I think a lot of people these days underestimate that connections family and friends are actually so much more affecting your finance than skills and grind alone
@@Tonym-ey9sl Obviously you wouldn't get far without "any skill" in any industry and I didn't say you can succeed without any skill. What I'm saying is helping friends and family definitely makes your career life so much easier, it has been like that way before and it still is to this day.
It still is based on who you know and not what you know. Most of these sights are just either taking your money and giving a superficial cursory knowledge on what to do. But its no real training.

Certifications don't pay you. Clients do. you can do all the certifications in the world and still be unemployed. Remember there are people with Graduate, Post-graduate and PhDs that are either unemployed or making less than 100k/yr.
Exactly..here in my country where almost all professional jobs require a degree or certifications, still you have to pass the employer's exam according to the position you are applying..you can have many certifications as many as you can but the real deal are the exams..certifications here are treated like diploma, a proof that you have taken that crash course training..but still, you have to pass their exams
I love that you called people out for pimping themselves online without substance. I have been on the internet since ... mmm.. 1994. Started making my own websites in 1995 - desktop themes, screensavers, etc. My enthusiasm about the entire WWW experience solely existed due to the ability to learn new and cool things about coding and the internet for free. Also, the biggest bonus was sharing experiences and learning all these new things via message boards, chats, emails with others who were as intrigued as I was. The fact that information is so polluted today is very sad to me. It really diminishes the potential of social interaction on the internet.
I rarely see any of these scam videos on UA-cam. I think a lot of it depends on what you search and what your motivations are. If you just want to get rich quick without caring about what you're learning then that is what happens. There's hundreds of UA-cam videos on system design, dynamic programming problems, graphQL etc. Easily enough out there for people to get 100k+ jobs in tech, employers are desperate for competent developers right now. You just have to be willing to put in the work.
@@attila2246 I spent a few months learning WordPress. An overwhelming majority of the people making WordPress videos now are nothing more than affiliates who don't know anything beyond the tutorial they're following while trying to push junk plugins. The upside is that they all follow a similar formula so it's easy to spot after a while. Another indicator is that they'll quickly respond the commenters thanking them, but will never reply to those asking questions.
Exactly! It's a problem because it sets unrealistic expectations for people who genuinely want to learn these things. They believe what these UA-camrs say and then get disappointed when they figure out they were misled..
@@DorianDevelops It's the unfortunate effect of high market sophistication. "Make money online?" I've heard this a million times. But "make LOTS of money online by learning this simple thing for free in 2 hours?" Now we're talking. Until people get tired of these claims as well, we'll see a lot of this "get lots of money quick without doing anything" content.
@@DorianDevelops your right, i checked online for entry level data analyst jobs, and most require a bachlors, in computer science and three years experience at least, and those jobs were paying 70-80k not no 100k+ The only ones offering 100+ required you to have 7+ years experience. Most of these companies don't care about cyber boot camps, or apprenticships, they value experience with a bachlors degree.
OMG! Thank you for making this video. I was starting to feel like such a loser. I am 20+ years in marketing, advertising and design and wondering how is it possible that someone with one day of learning can possibly do this. Thank you for exposing the BS.
The amount of "be a software or data professional" people trying to lure you into their videos and trying to make a view with out understanding how misleading they are and how harmful can be, needs to stop.
That's true, even I started to watch some of these videos and intended to dip my feet into these google certifications, but when I read the disclaimer written by one of these so-called video authors about her own videos, I knew that she herself didn't believe what she was saying I was shocked 😲
Software actually does pay good money. But it takes at least 3 years of study and a few years work experience to get to the 100k mark, unless you are in silicon Valley. But then 100k in the Valley is janitors wage, u won't rent a studio with that.
@@DorianDevelops yeah definitely, no shortcuts out here or one course fits all type of thing. If anything they should pitch consistency and embracing the journey to success
I believe a completed certification on your resume is better than not. Many people can't self study to make it all the way thru some of these courses, especially the free ones. Basically, a cert is only a component of the person's overall qualifications.
The certificates apparently take around 6 months to complete, and while Google doesn’t charge, the e-learning platform they’re on certainly does. I have not taken one, but I’m just doing research on them and what I’ve gathered so far is that these certificates are definitely the basics to get your foot in the door. They’re not the same or better than a degree, and rather complement it since most of the classes taught at a college tend to be outdated
You are absolutely right. The one about which scammers are talking about are free and they are like 10-20,30 hours duration and getting a job after that is absolutely a lie
i am from Ethiopia, and i have taken Google digital marketing cert, and i have found it to be useful in uodating my rusty degreeas my degree hit 20 years
I'm taking the Program Manager coursera Google course at the moment and it absolutely is a beginners course just meant to give you the basics. 100% would not replace a college course in the same thing.
Be careful of information served at you in whatever form it is. Always fact check, cross check, don't take anything at face value. Thanks Dorian for making it real and saving us time :)
I laughed my heart out before subscribing. As a newbie on UA-cam who is looking to find some vital information about how to make money, becoming a victim of these fraudsters is inevitable. I was one and it took me years to break out of that get-rich-quick fantasy. Thank you for calling them out!
Finally, a rational take on the hype surrounding tech certifications. I've been working in tech since the mid 1990s--I've worked at a helpdesk, as a systems administrator and as a software developer. Having a career in tech means that you are committed to a lifetime of learning. So I use 1-2 hours a day (especially during downtime at work) to study for tech certifications (and I get my employer to reimburse me for learning expenses--as they like their employees to obtain certs as much as possible). I recently became certified as a AWS DevOps Professional and my manager is now pushing me to go for a new internal position that is opening.

This man just gave people the "Reality check" they needed. It is very easy for these UA-camrs to read out the same script and fancy up the things but when it comes to working it is very difficult. Great video man, this video is something people need to watch before watching "how to earn" kinds videos.
yes very predatory. There is small % where this is true but those people have already been in the game with their knowledge, or degree, + certs. Aint no way your coming up from the street banging out a cert and making 100k , otherwise everyone would be doing it.
Greatly appreciate you telling the truth and keeping IT real. "Non-experts on youtube giving expert advice is another form of misinformation and pervasive cognitive bias" I graduated with an associate degree in Information Technology in 2005, and have over 10+ years on the job "IT Resume" experience. I really appreciate you telling people the reality of what to expect in the IT Industry. Keep up the good work Brother!
Google, IBM, and Microsoft have promoted their "data science / data analytics / machine learning engineer / informationn technology support role certifications" as sufficient to be hired by these organizations. Yet, to date, no evidence has been given that IBM, Google, and Microsoft hire anyone with only these certifications.
@@0x007A Yes I agree with you. All I was stating is that in order to be hired at these big companies in key positions, certifications aren't the way to go. One probably has to undergo formal education at prestigious academic institutions
Hey, they promote these certifications to help the community, it's not like they do it to create thousands (maybe millions?) of "data engineers/analytics/something" that rely 100% their tools
Real data science jobs requires that you can explain in detail at least 2 ML algorithms like k-means, naive bayes or neural networks. Most of this courses just teach you how to use a tool, not bad, but not enough for a data science job.
As some one who actually works in the industry (SEM), I can tell you that the certifications will only set you up with the basics and maybe familiarize you with the platforms. They were a nice foundation for getting me into the field. Once you start working, you will realize there is so much more to learn that the certifications never even touch on. Are the certifications helpful? Yes. Will you make $100k+ when all you've done is completed that cert? NOPE!
So are you suggestion it better going to college rather than getting a certificate, I was thinking about a BootCamp but I guess a lot of companies are way more focused on experiences, a lot of people out here are more concern on getting their feet in the industry and believes as time goes on we will get some experience.
@@tochukwuejim2450 if it's a reputable bootcamp, that that would be good as well. Again, it won't get you a $100k+ salary from the get go but it will help you get your foot in the door. Internships are also a great idea, especially if you can find paid internships.
@@Noname-rq1hr The best way to get hands on experience would be internships imo. Most internships don't require prior experience on the platforms in my experience since they're going to be teaching you everything anyway. As for certs, you can either get it before applying to pad your resume or do it once you land the internship since most will ask you to get a cert to familiarize yourself with the subject matter.
Can agree with this to a point. So big takeaway is if you end up at a Google Partner or for Google themselves these certs will hold merit and value heavily. We all know this is ridiculous to buy into a companies training platform in order to essentially attempt to work for them or their affiliates. It's deceitful yes, but I do see the merit especially for those who are unsure of going to college, trade school, coding bootcamp, etc. I look at it as a free intro to higher education and I think that's amazing. Just sad that people can't see the risks. Like if I took a few free classed before enrolling for College I think that would have had a big impact on my choice of industry let alone occupation.
I say never under estimate a hustler. I'm bout to sign up with Google. HEY you never know until you try. Just a suggestion though, why don't you find people who did take the courses and let them tell their experiences? Knowledge is power!
I am in the software development field and the amount of misleading videos I see on youtube pisses me off. Thank you for having the guts to call them out.
Love you mate, you just reminded everybody of the fact that time is most important resource and we should spend it more on hustling and grinding rather than finding shortcuts!
I feel ya brother. My thoughts and opinion on this topic are exactly the same. "How to make thousands a day" and yet here they are spending time making a youtube video rather than making the "big money". It pisses me off that they are scamming people just by opening their mouth.
Grateful for your candid view, i been down this rabbit hole for a few days and you probably saved me a ton of disappointment. We need more people like you on You Tube.
From a fellow programming enthusiast to you, a full stack developer (I assumed so due to 5 years experience) you really saved me from a potential click. You did an excellent job exposing this people. It's like they all read the same script... Thank you
Finally a real G. Someone needed to show the true face of these scammers As about freelancing and shit i tried my own but no results. Bro competition is thrugh the sky. and making some bucks there is almost impossible. My hopes and dreams about making thousands online are starting to melt away, everytime im looking for some knowledge
Spot on video If I can give my two cents - 1.Find a stack or specific skill set 2. Complete projects related to that stack to show your experience 3. Apply for positions related to your skill sets. When you get through the door, you’ll eventually deal with more complex tasks and contribute more, they won’t expect much out of a junior for about 6 months. If you’re freelance, working for mom and pop you need to be squared away PERIOD.
and ignore any linkedin wannabe celeb that wants to 'guide' your carreer with buzzwords shitting on your stack and telling you to learn flutter instead =P And to be honest I'm tired of companies asking for 3 years of previous experience for a Jr role most of the time.. It's not only frustrating but infuriating to say the least.. I don't even apply anymore to save myself from the deception.
@@multirampage1 😂😂😂 I truly feel your pain. Many companies want someone with at least 8y in THAT respective field AND covering ALL the positions in the company. No thank you
I'm currently a Big Data Developer trainee. I'm self-taught and self-driven with no CS deegre or IT background and while I do make what I consider to be good coin for an intern, it's nowhere near 100k, I still have a long road ahead of me, and while I do believe you can get a great job with free education, IT'S JUST NOT THAT SIMPLE and something to be done overnight
Hi as a self thought person my self I really need a mentor can you please advice me where do I start, i am completely messed up my mind seeing all this videos on UA-cam. I want to be a pen tester, where should I start
I stumbled on this video & appreciate your realness. It’s crazy how the biggest hustle is to hustle another person to believe a lie. Much respect & love to you.
Good video Dorian. As a hiring manager, having certifications that are relevant to your role does help your case, but it will not be enough on it's own to land you a high paying job. Especially 100k. For an entry level position, a certification or two maybe enough to get you over the line (along with other things) as it shows some level of expertise. However, claiming that certifications alone are enough to land you a high paying job or a paying career as a freelancer is simply not true.
@@missdesireindependance5194 It depends you could be fresh out of an ivy league school if you go up against someone who has 3-4 years of experience it won't matter knowing how to do the job and having a good portfolio, networking is key!!! having a degree .....could be helpful but it is not needed however it's like a gun rather have it then not it then need it and not have it ... for example the guy you are learning from doesn't have a degree however is very good at what he does

Currently a burnt out fullstack development student, watching this on his break.

No shortcuts for me, sadly, only thing they have in common with programmers is the fact that they like to shortcuts. Coding is often about creating shortcuts, solutions, etc., but in order to be able to make shortcuts without screwing your team over or having to deal with serious errors, YOU NEED TO LEARN A LOT OF CODING!!!

The internet needs more content creators like this! I’m so tired of people making money off lies and regurgitated information! Shoutout to you man making a real video! They could careless about your comments upset once you found out they lied because all they need on UA-cam is views! I never seen your content before but I subscribed just for the gold rush quote and just keeping it real!
My man. I found this video by chance. I admire how objective and grounded it was. I agree 100% with the comment regarding those freelancing sites. I was an ESL teacher for 12 years, and entertained the idea of going into freelance translations and online classes. "Race to the bottom" sums it up perfectly, and many of those "professionals" have little to no actual talent/people skills/accreditations.
I think it’s more of like an awareness campaign. I’ve been seeing similar things with other products where the company picks up influencer and have them go over content they never done before and preach it like it’s gold.
We appreciate your honesty. I instead go to the local community college at night after work and sign up for a couple of software development classes, than jump on the bandwagon these people are giving the Okie Dokie to. Just not worth risking your dreams being squashed.
I’ve been thinking of doing a short cut… certificate, bootcamp… but every real software dev that I have met got a CS degree. I used to work with developers to build a website so I was pretty close to them. But personally I don’t know a lot of people in this field. I’m thinking of taking a few courses at a community college on topics I don’t quite understand. Good luck on the pursuit of knowledge!

Thank you! I’m a lead technical recruiter & people ask me daily which one of these certificates they should get. When they don’t realize that certificates like this alone aren’t enough to land an amazing job
Ma'am what one must have apart from having certificates in order to land a job, providing the fact that the person doesn't have a computer science degree.
Never heard of you before this video honestly but I liked and subscribed just for the fact that you kept it real and honest and probably saved a lot of people time. No one tells the truth like this anymore this is refreshing to see.
A person that gets these certifications has to remember that there are small Mom and Pop businesses on the other side of many of these transactions. If you're certified, you have to be able to deliver for the person whose money you took. They can't afford for the consultant to be wrong.
I took these certs and its basically just instructions on how to maximize your knowledge on the google marketing tools. I did the certs to bump my own businesses. I dont have time to work on anyone elses lol. Its basically the same thing as getting microsoft certs such as dynamic 360.
Honestly I feel like the Google certificates doesn't work if you're not already experienced and computers or in ads. Especially with the mom and pop shops most of these shops ain't really making a lot of money and they be hesitant to hire a newbie who only have a certificate most of the mom and pop shops don't even need Google some of them are already popular due to word of mouth or other methods. Also they will actually hire one of their co-workers to do the social media marketing for them. It's best to just get a college degree.
Prefect point, I’m in the trenches and this couldn’t be more true.. you WILL not be landing Boeings and Walmarts. Sally’s nursery down the street who’s a friend of your mom is where it starts. You bend over backwards for them and push for Referrals
As a Lead Product Designer for a startup, I can 100% say I wouldn't hire someone based on certs alone. Everyone reading this - you need experience, projects, know-how, and so much more. Ref: I make over $100k as a designer. Great video man!
Thank you for always keeping it real. You are o e of the few software engineers that tells the truth. Everyone else is selling hype! I am in coding bootcamp right now and I realize everything you say is true. A lot of what other UA-camrs is saying is clickbait. Continue keeping it real!
Love this! When I wanted to branch out into speaking at companies about implementing disability inclusion programs I went straight to the source: Cornell University. I dropped a small load of cash but received absolutely top-notch training. I'm now able to speak with authority on the subject because I took the time to properly educate myself; just being disabled didn't make me that authority. Props to you, man!
That’s a really good point. There’s so much to learn about past & current systems, and there are always things we haven’t experienced, even within the same disability. I’ve learned some ways to advocate for myself at work that are much more effective than anything I could’ve thought of based on my experience.

It took me going to university and graduating with a software degree, along with 2 internships, and then 2 real jobs with 3 years experience to finally start interviewing for 100k+ Jobs and only half of them are remote nowadays.

Your honesty is what got me to subscribe to your channel. I'm a beginner programmer with only a month of experience under my belt and even I questioned the validity of these claims of making over 100k a year from a few free certs online. If these claims were true, wouldn't most people be doing it by now? Google, one of the biggest companies in the world, is really going to hire you over a skilled MIT grad because of your free certs? If its too good to be true, it probably is. I mean it wouldn't hurt to have them, but they sure won't make you rich.

This is great 😂 I almost fell into those Google certificates. I’ve been practicing HTML and CSS on my own. It’s been a few weeks and I’m learning a lot
Google certificates are good. Better than having nothing. For example, if you’re a web dev and wanna get into e-commerce, the Google online and e-commerce marketing cert looks good in your resume. A lot of marketing has to do with html format that YOU will have to implement. So you decide if a cert will look good on your resume or if it will hurt.

I took the coursera course 6 months long finished in 3 months. Most of it was review but I spent a lot of self study while doing the course. Paid I think 40$ a month and was worth it.
Dude honestly, I feel like people shit on it cause they base it off a job. But applying these things to businesses and freelancing can make you tons of money.
Exactly. I have been down so many rabbit holes watching those time wasting videos. The most mind boggling part is the millions of positive comments they get and thank you's.
This is hands down one of the best videos I've ever watched. I literally was thinking lastnight, after watching videos for weeks and noticed a motiff of repetitiveness; that this is all bullshit. I rarely subscribe, it has to be valued as I don't want a barrage of bs. Tgank you my dude.
I totally agree with what you said! all of the certifications that they mention are good to a certain extent. These certificates only help future employer know that you’ve done the research and have the basic knowledge of these topics, however it’s not a garantie that you’ll get a job that pays you a 100k per year.
Bro I'm just going to sub because of the thumbnail alone! I, personally, just automatically click on the 3 dot button next to their video and click "don't recommend channel" afterwards. ESPECIALLY if they got cringe faces on it. I'm BEYOND sick of the bullshit misinformed videos and make it a personal mission to seek out content creators much like yourself, who are honest and genuinely transparent and who doesn't "drip-feed" poison disguised as grandma's biscuits! Plus, I'm watching your video in full out of principal. Thank GOD I discovered this video.
I really appreciate this person's honesty and straightforwardness. I have long suspected that many of the claims made by people posting You Tube videoes about making money are completely bogus. Especially the ones where they claim they made $1M from trading the stock market .
Thank you for an honest perspective. You have people making this same exact claim about the nursing field. Claiming that you can make at least half of a million dollars annually without going to college and with no degree. This helps weed out the snakes and scams and also keeps me from falling victim to malpractice and legal law suits.
You are the TRUTH! You were spot on with all your points. These “work from home” gurus get on my nerves telling people how to make money doing things they’ve never done.
I've recently decided to build up skills and become a data analyst and felt exactly what you said, people telling you that becoming well paid in those fields will be that easy 😂 I really liked the way you explain things with no magical offers, thanks God my English was enough to understand you because I'll surely coming to your channel for real information.
Love this. I actually saw that Max video and was like "bullshit," but it prompted me to do the Google My Business course. I'm a freelance graphic/web designer and now I'm able to add that to my list of services. I've made some money with it, but only because I am able to bolt it on to my primary offerings. Unfortunately with people/vids like this, you've gotta find your own value and be realistic. I'll continue with the ads/analytics courses, but I am damn well not expecting to make 5K off it, let alone 100K. Thanks for taking the time to call them out lol
Appreciate you for sharing this I hate wasting my time Remember when UA-cam actually taught something and people weren’t just trying to get over…oh those were the days
When I go to these videos that Dorian speaks of and look in the comments section, I can’t find ONE person that writes “hey, just to let you know… I followed your directions and now I’m killing it making 100g’s!”. It’s Always “Wow! this is great info, I’m really going to go after it and bla bla bla”😊
Great video! I agree with you 100%, certifications are great when you have experience... but ultimately to make 100k+ is not about certs, its about being effective in your job which means you'd need a combination of experience + knowledge which takes time to build.
Exactly, even my CERTS say that you need to at least have 9-12 months of real experience or lab time for your cert to actually match up with your skills.
I can see that you're very passionate about this 😅People need to remember that UA-cam is a business and everyone is hustling. Some people will say or do whatever it takes to get that click, like or share.

"Because during a gold rush you make more money selling picks and shovels rather than actually digging for gold" - Best quote. Cheers mate for pointing these fraudsters out!
I'm a Software Engineer irl. They're called grifters and fake gurus. It has become a recent trend since work at home became a thing due to the pandemic. Sad to say, these scams work because people are so desperate to seek an easy office job they can do at home while being paid a huge sum of money. Get rich quick n ez scams. The reality is that you've got to put in the work and experience into those positions, which people don't want to really do.
There are varying versions and wordings of that quote, but the idea is rock solid and has been around for years.

This is the Extreme Political Correctness or Californian ideology. The all world do not understand those type of "movement" from UA-cam.
Liberty of expression and as well disliking something is part of the human process to improve ourselves.
"avoiding" the truth (here as an example: Doing/Saying something on your UA-cam video) is really wrong for the creators and the users.
I feel that this platform (UA-cam) is simply getting a cultural "revamp" and pushing more "stupid" and "main media/Do not use your brain" more common in our recommendation.
But isn't the issue with the FANG's? Having a better control on the people who watch/use your tools instead of understanding their users.
let's hope the web 3.0 with better decentralization tools will help the society to have more freedom and a better judgment coupled with critical thinking and more tools/education to understand the layers of stupidity in a video.

Absolutely nailed it
Tell me about it, I can’t believe I used to fall for these tricks years ago. 🤦🏾♀️ I had to learn the hard way.
All for money and views
That's why I have not and will never respect or understand people that do things for the sole purposs of money because those kinds of people don't take the job seriously, mess up stuff, don't know what they're doing or can't do the job correctly, put in little to no effort and hoarding a spot meant for someone with real skill/talent. It does more than disgusts me.
Yeah. You don't want to freelance if you're trying to hit $100k. You want a corporate job to hit those numbers. Once you get a cert (that no one cares about) you can definitely build a resume by doing freelance (work which is what I did). I'm now reasonably well paid.
Seeing these people do and say the same things was honestly hard to watch for me. I would never have the courage to expose this problem as you did, many people will be grateful to you, including me.
You gotta call out bullshit. Those videos get views and are selling people a dream. Basically how I make money is buy telling you how to make money...
I get that. It’s hard because I feel like being raised on the internet was the perfect environment to create a bunch of mindless people pleasers (talking about myself here). Everything is explicitly designed to matter to us and affect us right in the monkey brain, where raw emotion is more powerful than logic. The like/dislike system is especially powerful because it’s a quantifiable way to play on our biological instinct as pack animals to conform and be liked. So if you notice something is wrong, and say something, and are publicly bashed, downvoted/disliked into oblivion, and receive what feels like an endless wave of hate in front of the entire world, you will be VERY scared to do that again. First you just stop calling things out. Then, as the instinct to stay with the group opinion to keep yourself safe takes over, you eventually stop thinking for yourself at all and just look to what others are saying to decide what you should think. After a while, you just stop noticing when things are wrong at all, other people’s opinions become your own. And suddenly you, who used to be so sharp and savvy, as well as everyone else, have become very easy to manipulate, as you no longer listen to your own opinions and instincts, but only to what others are saying. I believe this was designed on purpose to make us easier to capitalize on by big companies. But even if it’s just an accidental byproduct of how apps and websites are designed, it still definitely has very serious effects. Especially since the pandemic and having spent so much more time online, I’ve definitely noticed a huge increase in the amount of scams, bullshit, and misinformation I simply haven’t noticed due to a lack of critical thinking; stuff that a few years ago I would have NEVER fallen for. It’s definitely hard to unlearn, and takes time. But videos like this help a lot for me to recalibrate my intuition so that in the future, I can trust myself more and be better at noticing when something seems wrong.
I think a lot of people these days underestimate that connections family and friends are actually so much more affecting your finance than skills and grind alone

Certifications don't pay you. Clients do. you can do all the certifications in the world and still be unemployed. Remember there are people with Graduate, Post-graduate and PhDs that are either unemployed or making less than 100k/yr.
Exactly..here in my country where almost all professional jobs require a degree or certifications, still you have to pass the employer's exam according to the position you are applying..you can have many certifications as many as you can but the real deal are the exams..certifications here are treated like diploma, a proof that you have taken that crash course training..but still, you have to pass their exams
@@blu_corvette4945 Yup. If certifications had real value companies would skip technical rounds directly to behavioral during interviews.
Exactly! It’s about leveraging what you learned and getting the return on investment!
@@blu_corvette4945which country are you in?
So real life experience is real gold.
I love that you called people out for pimping themselves online without substance. I have been on the internet since ... mmm.. 1994. Started making my own websites in 1995 - desktop themes, screensavers, etc. My enthusiasm about the entire WWW experience solely existed due to the ability to learn new and cool things about coding and the internet for free. Also, the biggest bonus was sharing experiences and learning all these new things via message boards, chats, emails with others who were as intrigued as I was. The fact that information is so polluted today is very sad to me. It really diminishes the potential of social interaction on the internet.
I rarely see any of these scam videos on UA-cam. I think a lot of it depends on what you search and what your motivations are. If you just want to get rich quick without caring about what you're learning then that is what happens.
There's hundreds of UA-cam videos on system design, dynamic programming problems, graphQL etc. Easily enough out there for people to get 100k+ jobs in tech, employers are desperate for competent developers right now. You just have to be willing to put in the work.
I bet your MySpace page was on point from day 1! I miss the old internet.
@@attila2246 I spent a few months learning WordPress. An overwhelming majority of the people making WordPress videos now are nothing more than affiliates who don't know anything beyond the tutorial they're following while trying to push junk plugins. The upside is that they all follow a similar formula so it's easy to spot after a while. Another indicator is that they'll quickly respond the commenters thanking them, but will never reply to those asking questions.
@@attila2246 exactly! Same here
Money corrupts everything man made.
UA-cam: Make $100,000 per year with this free cert!! JobSearch: Want a junior job? Well you'll need 4 years of experience for that.
Exactly! It's a problem because it sets unrealistic expectations for people who genuinely want to learn these things. They believe what these UA-camrs say and then get disappointed when they figure out they were misled..
@@DorianDevelops It's the unfortunate effect of high market sophistication. "Make money online?" I've heard this a million times. But "make LOTS of money online by learning this simple thing for free in 2 hours?" Now we're talking.
Until people get tired of these claims as well, we'll see a lot of this "get lots of money quick without doing anything" content.
@@DorianDevelops your right, i checked online for entry level data analyst jobs, and most require a bachlors, in computer science and three years experience at least, and those jobs were paying 70-80k not no 100k+
The only ones offering 100+ required you to have 7+ years experience. Most of these companies don't care about cyber boot camps, or apprenticships, they value experience with a bachlors degree.
And it's going to be unpaid internship and you get plenty of exposure
@@grandcanyon2 you’d be surprised how much boot camp helps.
OMG! Thank you for making this video. I was starting to feel like such a loser. I am 20+ years in marketing, advertising and design and wondering how is it possible that someone with one day of learning can possibly do this. Thank you for exposing the BS.
You are not loser!
The amount of "be a software or data professional" people trying to lure you into their videos and trying to make a view with out understanding how misleading they are and how harmful can be, needs to stop.
100% agree! Also part of the reason why I kind of backed off of that type of content..
That's true, even I started to watch some of these videos and intended to dip my feet into these google certifications, but when I read the disclaimer written by one of these so-called video authors about her own videos, I knew that she herself didn't believe what she was saying I was shocked 😲
Software actually does pay good money. But it takes at least 3 years of study and a few years work experience to get to the 100k mark, unless you are in silicon Valley. But then 100k in the Valley is janitors wage, u won't rent a studio with that.
@@DorianDevelops yeah definitely, no shortcuts out here or one course fits all type of thing. If anything they should pitch consistency and embracing the journey to success
Why not? I saw those video and thinking about becoming software or data guy
Respect you coming out with the truth. Keep it up homie.
I believe a completed certification on your resume is better than not. Many people can't self study to make it all the way thru some of these courses, especially the free ones. Basically, a cert is only a component of the person's overall qualifications.
Well said
True
This is true. But getting a certificate, even a PhD doesn't mean you're on your way to make so much money. That is the misconception out there.
The certificates apparently take around 6 months to complete, and while Google doesn’t charge, the e-learning platform they’re on certainly does. I have not taken one, but I’m just doing research on them and what I’ve gathered so far is that these certificates are definitely the basics to get your foot in the door. They’re not the same or better than a degree, and rather complement it since most of the classes taught at a college tend to be outdated
You are absolutely right. The one about which scammers are talking about are free and they are like 10-20,30 hours duration and getting a job after that is absolutely a lie
Really? Damn, I completed my Cornell University certification in 4 weeks.
i am from Ethiopia, and i have taken Google digital marketing cert, and i have found it to be useful in uodating my rusty degreeas my degree hit 20 years
I'm taking the Program Manager coursera Google course at the moment and it absolutely is a beginners course just meant to give you the basics. 100% would not replace a college course in the same thing.
@@juliawidmaier5334They are scammers, unfortunately. $450 is paid for nothing, basically.

I laughed my heart out before subscribing. As a newbie on UA-cam who is looking to find some vital information about how to make money, becoming a victim of these fraudsters is inevitable. I was one and it took me years to break out of that get-rich-quick fantasy.
Thank you for calling them out!
Finally, a rational take on the hype surrounding tech certifications.
I've been working in tech since the mid 1990s--I've worked at a helpdesk, as a systems administrator and as a software developer.
Having a career in tech means that you are committed to a lifetime of learning. So I use 1-2 hours a day (especially during downtime at work) to study for tech certifications (and I get my employer to reimburse me for learning expenses--as they like their employees to obtain certs as much as possible). I recently became certified as a AWS DevOps Professional and my manager is now pushing me to go for a new internal position that is opening.
I believe a completed certification on your resume is better than not. Many people can't self study to make it all the way thru some of these courses, especially the free ones. Basically, a cert is only a component of the person's overall qualifications.
Wonderful!!
Exactly right. I've been in tech for 10 years and have to still learn daily to keep up.

I agree. The merrell twins said they just want to sell things online using Google certificate
yes very predatory. There is small % where this is true but those people have already been in the game with their knowledge, or degree, + certs. Aint no way your coming up from the street banging out a cert and making 100k , otherwise everyone would be doing it.
My thoughts exactly!
Was wondering... Can one make even half of that?
Greatly appreciate you telling the truth and keeping IT real. "Non-experts on youtube giving expert advice is another form of misinformation and pervasive cognitive bias" I graduated with an associate degree in Information Technology in 2005, and have over 10+ years on the job "IT Resume" experience. I really appreciate you telling people the reality of what to expect in the IT Industry. Keep up the good work Brother!
Google, IBM, and Microsoft have promoted their "data science / data analytics / machine learning engineer / informationn technology support role certifications" as sufficient to be hired by these organizations. Yet, to date, no evidence has been given that IBM, Google, and Microsoft hire anyone with only these certifications.
@@simplyballing1592 all I pointed out was their claims have yet to be substantiated (for normal roles)...and I was not referring to CXO roles.
@@0x007A Yes I agree with you. All I was stating is that in order to be hired at these big companies in key positions, certifications aren't the way to go. One probably has to undergo formal education at prestigious academic institutions
Hey, they promote these certifications to help the community, it's not like they do it to create thousands (maybe millions?) of "data engineers/analytics/something" that rely 100% their tools
Real data science jobs requires that you can explain in detail at least 2 ML algorithms like k-means, naive bayes or neural networks. Most of this courses just teach you how to use a tool, not bad, but not enough for a data science job.
Well said.
As some one who actually works in the industry (SEM), I can tell you that the certifications will only set you up with the basics and maybe familiarize you with the platforms. They were a nice foundation for getting me into the field. Once you start working, you will realize there is so much more to learn that the certifications never even touch on.
Are the certifications helpful? Yes. Will you make $100k+ when all you've done is completed that cert? NOPE!
Thanks for being honest! We need more people like you.
So are you suggestion it better going to college rather than getting a certificate, I was thinking about a BootCamp but I guess a lot of companies are way more focused on experiences, a lot of people out here are more concern on getting their feet in the industry and believes as time goes on we will get some experience.
@@tochukwuejim2450 if it's a reputable bootcamp, that that would be good as well. Again, it won't get you a $100k+ salary from the get go but it will help you get your foot in the door. Internships are also a great idea, especially if you can find paid internships.
So the way to go is a college degree? Or how do you get hands on this more specialized knowledge necessary to make it in the industry?
@@Noname-rq1hr The best way to get hands on experience would be internships imo. Most internships don't require prior experience on the platforms in my experience since they're going to be teaching you everything anyway. As for certs, you can either get it before applying to pad your resume or do it once you land the internship since most will ask you to get a cert to familiarize yourself with the subject matter.
Can agree with this to a point. So big takeaway is if you end up at a Google Partner or for Google themselves these certs will hold merit and value heavily. We all know this is ridiculous to buy into a companies training platform in order to essentially attempt to work for them or their affiliates. It's deceitful yes, but I do see the merit especially for those who are unsure of going to college, trade school, coding bootcamp, etc. I look at it as a free intro to higher education and I think that's amazing. Just sad that people can't see the risks.
Like if I took a few free classed before enrolling for College I think that would have had a big impact on my choice of industry let alone occupation.
I literally despise these predatory tactics. Tons of respect for this video! So true!
I say never under estimate a hustler. I'm bout to sign up with Google. HEY you never know until you try. Just a suggestion though, why don't you find people who did take the courses and let them tell their experiences? Knowledge is power!

As about freelancing and shit i tried my own but no results. Bro competition is thrugh the sky. and making some bucks there is almost impossible. My hopes and dreams about making thousands online are starting to melt away, everytime im looking for some knowledge
Spot on video
If I can give my two cents -
1.Find a stack or specific skill set
2. Complete projects related to that stack to show your experience
3. Apply for positions related to your skill sets.
When you get through the door, you’ll eventually deal with more complex tasks and contribute more, they won’t expect much out of a junior for about 6 months.
If you’re freelance, working for mom and pop you need to be squared away PERIOD.
I can't get past the HR lady boss, people say I need 800 years of experience and/or a degree to defeat her.
and ignore any linkedin wannabe celeb that wants to 'guide' your carreer with buzzwords shitting on your stack and telling you to learn flutter instead =P
And to be honest I'm tired of companies asking for 3 years of previous experience for a Jr role most of the time.. It's not only frustrating but infuriating to say the least.. I don't even apply anymore to save myself from the deception.

And the older one becomes, worse it is to learn skills and change career into IT, without CS degree and IT background.
Thank you for being honest.
@@inotechsylhet2074 link video your start here makes Make your way up.
From where did you study big data development?
I stumbled on this video & appreciate your realness. It’s crazy how the biggest hustle is to hustle another person to believe a lie. Much respect & love to you.
Good video Dorian. As a hiring manager, having certifications that are relevant to your role does help your case, but it will not be enough on it's own to land you a high paying job. Especially 100k. For an entry level position, a certification or two maybe enough to get you over the line (along with other things) as it shows some level of expertise. However, claiming that certifications alone are enough to land you a high paying job or a paying career as a freelancer is simply not true.
Thanks for your honesty 👍🏾
What happens if you take the course and you are self taught with a good portfolio?
This is why it’s good to have a degree along with the certifications
@@missdesireindependance5194 It depends you could be fresh out of an ivy league school if you go up against someone who has 3-4 years of experience it won't matter knowing how to do the job and having a good portfolio, networking is key!!! having a degree .....could be helpful but it is not needed however it's like a gun rather have it then not it then need it and not have it ... for example the guy you are learning from doesn't have a degree however is very good at what he does
@@candyluna2929 I’m currently taking Salesforce and general advice is to network with people in fields that you’ll be in. We have slack and forums where we connect. Or LinkedIn
Currently a burnt out fullstack development student, watching this on his break. Loved HTML, CSS, JS, and Python, but UML, rn is oddly quite tiresome having to be both meticulous and creative on flowchart, I gotta say tho that this is interesting how people are craving that shortcut to 6 figures, while I'm over here working full time to pay off my rent and bills and brain burnt from learning to code. No shortcuts for me, sadly, only thing they have in common with programmers is the fact that they like to shortcuts. Coding is often about creating shortcuts, solutions, etc., but in order to be able to make shortcuts without screwing your team over or having to deal with serious errors, YOU NEED TO LEARN A LOT OF CODING!!!
some human my saying oooo human facts money dont grow on tree is it smoke time bybye ., i thinking app my make money on paypall account ., chatgpt more facebook all good ideas but i haven try it asta la vista bybye all good all good all good from australia chileno
UML and modeling in general is the abstract thinking part of software development. It's the part that's really valuable, especially with the code potentially being AI generated. I'm working on UML too in my Database and Software Engineering classes rn.
how are you how are you how are you
Burnout crew checking in. I have some throbber telling me I could actually get a job in AI with my cv, I actually believed them for a months @ one point an coupla years ago and did what you're doing!
I'm glad to find a real honest talking man.💐
Love the fact that your exposing these UA-cam scammers.
The internet needs more content creators like this! I’m so tired of people making money off lies and regurgitated information! Shoutout to you man making a real video! They could careless about your comments upset once you found out they lied because all they need on UA-cam is views! I never seen your content before but I subscribed just for the gold rush quote and just keeping it real!
Thank you for sharing this perspective! It’s so frustrating hearing advice from people who never done the thing they give advice on!
My man. I found this video by chance. I admire how objective and grounded it was.
I agree 100% with the comment regarding those freelancing sites. I was an ESL teacher for 12 years, and entertained the idea of going into freelance translations and online classes. "Race to the bottom" sums it up perfectly, and many of those "professionals" have little to no actual talent/people skills/accreditations.
The UA-camrs you called out in this video should be embarrassed of themselves. I’m embarrassed for them. Thank you for pointing this out.
I think it’s more of like an awareness campaign. I’ve been seeing similar things with other products where the company picks up influencer and have them go over content they never done before and preach it like it’s gold.
We appreciate your honesty. I instead go to the local community college at night after work and sign up for a couple of software development classes, than jump on the bandwagon these people are giving the Okie Dokie to. Just not worth risking your dreams being squashed.
I’ve been thinking of doing a short cut… certificate, bootcamp… but every real software dev that I have met got a CS degree. I used to work with developers to build a website so I was pretty close to them. But personally I don’t know a lot of people in this field. I’m thinking of taking a few courses at a community college on topics I don’t quite understand. Good luck on the pursuit of knowledge!
Definitely do it bruh, this is what I am doing. I am going to take software developer certificate course, it is for full stack junior software developer jobs. Still something.
@@lavonnealexander6936 I hope so; in my case, I have a degree in Mathematics already and was exposed to javascript along with c++ and python while doing undergrad studies. I could see myself building websites in the future based on the knowledge I already know right now.
@@wildboy700 what kind of jobs can you do with a math degree? What opportunities have you had so far?
@@hemanths2230 Right now, it's mostly education. My most recent job was being an Instructional Specialist for a nonprofit organization. We help kids increase their test scores. It's good pay for a start out of college. I've been doing this since 2019.
Nah.... Never care about those bold claims about making big bucks after learning a little of code. Self taught was never easy and will never be. Even after months of learning, I still struggle a lot to build my 1st app. There are so much more to learn in order to be good at something.
Keep at it. Trust the process and make it work.
Truth man I feel your comment. And keep up
Keep going !
Thanks for the support guys. Still waiting for the day to switch job.
Yeah....front AND back dev nad how to deploy apps...
People who say you can make big bucks with just a bit of html and css are full of crap.
Thank you! I’m a lead technical recruiter & people ask me daily which one of these certificates they should get. When they don’t realize that certificates like this alone aren’t enough to land an amazing job
Ma'am what one must have apart from having certificates in order to land a job, providing the fact that the person doesn't have a computer science degree.
What else Is required because sometimes they say the schooling isn't required
@@atuldwivedi3959 some experience. Experience is king 🤴
Certifications are no good?
So what should candidates have?? Dont just come and be negative. Share what it needed.
Never heard of you before this video honestly but I liked and subscribed just for the fact that you kept it real and honest and probably saved a lot of people time. No one tells the truth like this anymore this is refreshing to see.
Rude Jude on Shade45 ( SiriusXm ) does, Karen Hunter ( SiriusXm) does, Mike Muse does.
A person that gets these certifications has to remember that there are small Mom and Pop businesses on the other side of many of these transactions. If you're certified, you have to be able to deliver for the person whose money you took. They can't afford for the consultant to be wrong.
I took these certs and its basically just instructions on how to maximize your knowledge on the google marketing tools. I did the certs to bump my own businesses. I dont have time to work on anyone elses lol. Its basically the same thing as getting microsoft certs such as dynamic 360.
Honestly I feel like the Google certificates doesn't work if you're not already experienced and computers or in ads. Especially with the mom and pop shops most of these shops ain't really making a lot of money and they be hesitant to hire a newbie who only have a certificate most of the mom and pop shops don't even need Google some of them are already popular due to word of mouth or other methods. Also they will actually hire one of their co-workers to do the social media marketing for them. It's best to just get a college degree.
Facts!
Prefect point, I’m in the trenches and this couldn’t be more true.. you WILL not be landing Boeings and Walmarts. Sally’s nursery down the street who’s a friend of your mom is where it starts. You bend over backwards for them and push for Referrals
@@Layniacsofficial yeah facebooks certs are great as well. If you have some time. It’s better money spent (fb ads) with a pixel
YES. These influencers need to be stopped!
Someone is real in social world where it is very easy to fool anyone by showing some cool stuff, thanks man👍🏻
As a Lead Product Designer for a startup, I can 100% say I wouldn't hire someone based on certs alone. Everyone reading this - you need experience, projects, know-how, and so much more. Ref: I make over $100k as a designer. Great video man!
hello mate, can i connect with you somewhere, i have some questions regarding product designing career
@@SankeerthanMovieCocktails Sure anytime
Kinda hard to get experience when jobs require experience before they’ll hire you
@@MB-xv7er Agreed. Left this field recently and started a marketing agency. Still consult though.
I wouldn’t mind some mentorship from you. I’d really appreciate any information you can give me to help better me. I’m a graphics artist for now.
I remember a quote "Everything that's worth something has a price and it's paid beforehand"
Thank you for always keeping it real. You are o e of the few software engineers that tells the truth. Everyone else is selling hype! I am in coding bootcamp right now and I realize everything you say is true. A lot of what other UA-camrs is saying is clickbait. Continue keeping it real!
Love this! When I wanted to branch out into speaking at companies about implementing disability inclusion programs I went straight to the source: Cornell University. I dropped a small load of cash but received absolutely top-notch training. I'm now able to speak with authority on the subject because I took the time to properly educate myself; just being disabled didn't make me that authority. Props to you, man!
That’s a really good point. There’s so much to learn about past & current systems, and there are always things we haven’t experienced, even within the same disability. I’ve learned some ways to advocate for myself at work that are much more effective than anything I could’ve thought of based on my experience.
I’m interested in doing this. Thank you!
Man, you just became one of my favorite UA-camrs with this one video...I can't stand seeing all of these videos being shared and posted. They are low-key predatory because some people really bank on these things to work.
I'm so glad I found this channel, and thank you for sharing your honesty.
When I tell you I APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO so much👏🏽👏🏽
It’s so easy to go down a rabbit hole and end up even more confused and discouraged! I don’t need cookie cutter videos, I need some real information ! Thank you!
It took me going to university and graduating with a software degree, along with 2 internships, and then 2 real jobs with 3 years experience to finally start interviewing for 100k+ Jobs and only half of them are remote nowadays. Usually they expect you to go in every Sprint at least once if working in an Agile team.
Your honesty is what got me to subscribe to your channel. I'm a beginner programmer with only a month of experience under my belt and even I questioned the validity of these claims of making over 100k a year from a few free certs online. If these claims were true, wouldn't most people be doing it by now? Google, one of the biggest companies in the world, is really going to hire you over a skilled MIT grad because of your free certs? If its too good to be true, it probably is. I mean it wouldn't hurt to have them, but they sure won't make you rich.
First video of yours that I've seen, insta subbed. It was about time for someone to call these morons out, they're just creating a toxic environment full of lies. Keep it up bro
This is great 😂 I almost fell into those Google certificates. I’ve been practicing HTML and CSS on my own. It’s been a few weeks and I’m learning a lot
What did u use
The certs are still good, they just wont make you 100K by themselves
Google certificates are good. Better than having nothing. For example, if you’re a web dev and wanna get into e-commerce, the Google online and e-commerce marketing cert looks good in your resume. A lot of marketing has to do with html format that YOU will have to implement. So you decide if a cert will look good on your resume or if it will hurt.
@@Immigrantlovesamerica could you explain a bit more about what you meant by alot of marketing has to do with HTML formats that I would have to implement?
@@Azhardiniothey use html in their marketing emails most likely
Has anyone tried DMVNERDS? They looking like a goldmine right about now if its true
I always wanted to make some creative videos especially at repair stuff. I can't find any similar idea of mine on UA-cam. I will be very surprised if I can find some of my innovation ideas as I randomly choose something I can find at home and modify it so that it can be used on the item I wanted to get repair.
I did only 1 video on how to refill the pod capsule without the need to dismantle any parts of the pod capsule. I didn't share the rest as I never will get people to watch them. I dare not make videos on things that I know only at 90%. I totally agree with you and I cannot imagine there are so many irresponsible people out there telling people things that they don't even know themselves. Thanks man for this video.
Nice
Great to see someone else exposing these clickbaiters.
Happy to see you here. Love your authentic content as well ♥️. Happy 2022
I'm so happy there is a real person on UA-cam who is going in on these copycat fools! 😂
The 2nd girl just reading off, and all the times they mentioned Google had me hollering! 🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️
I'm so sick of seeing these post of youtubers talking about work from home jobs that don't exist or not hiring, with unrealistic pay per hour, and the number favorite no experience required! 🤦♀️
I have experience in IT, and currently in school for it. These people are writing checks they can't cash!
If these free certs and jobs are really paying that much per hour/year, do you really think they would be on UA-cam telling you instead of doing these jobs themselves? 🤣😭🤣
You got a new sub, thank you! 🫡
I took the coursera course 6 months long finished in 3 months. Most of it was review but I spent a lot of self study while doing the course. Paid I think 40$ a month and was worth it.
How much are you currently making
@@jeffersonsagastume6506 😉🦗🦗🦗
Yup, I was doing the same thing. I learned a lot and it helped me getting interviews and a job. Took time but it’s definitely worth it.
which course if you don’t mind me asking?
Dude honestly, I feel like people shit on it cause they base it off a job. But applying these things to businesses and freelancing can make you tons of money.
Exactly. I have been down so many rabbit holes watching those time wasting videos. The most mind boggling part is the millions of positive comments they get and thank you's.
This is hands down one of the best videos I've ever watched. I literally was thinking lastnight, after watching videos for weeks and noticed a motiff of repetitiveness; that this is all bullshit. I rarely subscribe, it has to be valued as I don't want a barrage of bs. Tgank you my dude.
I totally agree with what you said! all of the certifications that they mention are good to a certain extent. These certificates only help future employer know that you’ve done the research and have the basic knowledge of these topics, however it’s not a garantie that you’ll get a job that pays you a 100k per year.
Bro I'm just going to sub because of the thumbnail alone! I, personally, just automatically click on the 3 dot button next to their video and click "don't recommend channel" afterwards. ESPECIALLY if they got cringe faces on it. I'm BEYOND sick of the bullshit misinformed videos and make it a personal mission to seek out content creators much like yourself, who are honest and genuinely transparent and who doesn't "drip-feed" poison disguised as grandma's biscuits! Plus, I'm watching your video in full out of principal. Thank GOD I discovered this video.
lmao no wonder i suck at youtube. all i needed to do was read the documentation 😂
It's not too late to start 😅
Me too lol
People like these think software developing/engineering or other "modern" tech skills are a niche rather than a whole disciplinary skill.
I really appreciate this person's honesty and straightforwardness. I have long suspected that many of the claims made by people posting You Tube videoes about making money are completely bogus. Especially the ones where they claim they made $1M from trading the stock market .
Thank you for an honest perspective. You have people making this same exact claim about the nursing field. Claiming that you can make at least half of a million dollars annually without going to college and with no degree. This helps weed out the snakes and scams and also keeps me from falling victim to malpractice and legal law suits.
You are the TRUTH! You were spot on with all your points. These “work from home” gurus get on my nerves telling people how to make money doing things they’ve never done.
Your perspective and opinion with no filter has me dying laughing! 😂🤣😭
I feel he's being realistic and truthful. loved the video! He's like the youtube police, give him a badge😂
Nice
What they don't tell you about these freelancing websites, is you're competing globally, with people who will work for $1-$5/hour.
Thanks for keeping it real bro... you deserve 1M+ subs. Good tidings to you and your fam!
I've recently decided to build up skills and become a data analyst and felt exactly what you said, people telling you that becoming well paid in those fields will be that easy 😂 I really liked the way you explain things with no magical offers, thanks God my English was enough to understand you because I'll surely coming to your channel for real information.
Love this. I actually saw that Max video and was like "bullshit," but it prompted me to do the Google My Business course. I'm a freelance graphic/web designer and now I'm able to add that to my list of services. I've made some money with it, but only because I am able to bolt it on to my primary offerings. Unfortunately with people/vids like this, you've gotta find your own value and be realistic. I'll continue with the ads/analytics courses, but I am damn well not expecting to make 5K off it, let alone 100K. Thanks for taking the time to call them out lol
Yooo, finally a video that I thought needed to be made. I'm 5 seconds in and I know you're bouta explain real TRUTH.
Appreciate you for sharing this
I hate wasting my time
Remember when UA-cam actually taught something and people weren’t just trying to get over…oh those were the days
Your honesty is refreshing! Nothing in life is simple especially when chasing success! Thank you for making this video!
When I go to these videos that Dorian speaks of and look in the comments section, I can’t find ONE person that writes “hey, just to let you know… I followed your directions and now I’m killing it making 100g’s!”. It’s Always “Wow! this is great info, I’m really going to go after it and bla bla bla”😊
At least, you’re here to tell us the truth. Only idiots will follow these liars and criminals. Keep up the great work.
Great video! I agree with you 100%, certifications are great when you have experience... but ultimately to make 100k+ is not about certs, its about being effective in your job which means you'd need a combination of experience + knowledge which takes time to build.
Exactly, even my CERTS say that you need to at least have 9-12 months of real experience or lab time for your cert to actually match up with your skills.
I can see that you're very passionate about this 😅People need to remember that UA-cam is a business and everyone is hustling. Some people will say or do whatever it takes to get that click, like or share.
