Saw your IG post. In May 2017 I was working at a non actuarial position with an energy company while doing grad school at nights. I was still considered poor at this time since my job didn’t pay me a bachelors degree salary. The job market was so bad and my lack of verbal communication skills didn’t help me in job interviews
This is kind of how I feel while I'm great full and honestly shocked that I finally got a bachelor's degree it took me such a long time. However, I felt I learned a lot and enjoyed the experience but I remember I was depressed and stressed all the time. Towards the end of my degree I started to realize that I don't really want to be an English teacher I'm dyslexic btw and I'm glad that I finished but since I graduated I'm getting a lot of pressure from my dad to apply to schools to teach English I'm broke right now and I'm almost considering doing it even though I don't want to just so I can get some money.
You are not alone. I have a Ph.D. degree from UT Austin, and worked for a super big Tech Company in Silicon Valley for 6 years. However, at the age of 38, I finally realized that I just want a simple, peaceful, easy, and stress-free life. So I quit, and I went back to my hometown, which is a small town in Washington State closed to US/Canada border. Now I am a very common community college teacher, but the most important thing is, I am seriously happy and I do enjoy my current life!
I graduated college in mathematics a long time ago(10 years), i have worked in group insurance underwriting for close to 7 years and now work for a large Reinsurer (where im the only non actuary in my team) but i always regretted not sitting any exam. I love my job now and i do not want to do it for professional reasons but for a personal accomplishment . Would it be really hard for me to start sitting exams at this point in my career so long ago after graduating?
Hey Elle, I feel so pressured by my parents because they want me to go to the university so bad and i have tried going to college in 2016/17 2020 i would apply to and attend classes for a month or two and I would drop out because studying is just not for me I've checked out of it since high school I didn't even do my last year of high school and now 2021 I applied for communications degree at uni the beginning of this year my parents were so happy dad even said don't you wish you could've gone to uni earlier NO I DONT and i still don't but after the semester ended i dropped out and I dont know how to face them because so many times I told them I failed I never told them I dropped out of all the subjects I applied for. I think their dream is to take pictures with me graduating and I feel like I'm stripping away their dream from them, I feel so pressured and stuck. My lil sis doesn't want to learn either she's only 15, she doesn't wanna go back to high school next year and my parents pin her lack of enthusiam for school on me. I dont know what to do, I don't want to disappoint them again but I already dropped out though. I'm so stressed
If I was to start all over again, I would had Clep every single general education course while in highschool. But I didn't know Clep existed back then.
You know, I think your actual problem was that you were probably above the level of the average student who goes there. What I mean by this is that in reality you study at the level of the average of the students attending the classes and many come with huge gaps from their high school studies. The rhythm for studying is given by how competitive and smart you colleagues are as this influences how much the professors can teach. They can’t just fail 80% of students, for example, so they must lower the level of studying to ensure that most students are abls to understand etc. Also, testing happens in order to track progress and to see if you have the necessary level because honestly plenty of students don’t put any effort into it. If it wasn’t challenging enough, this means you would have benefitted more from a more competitive environment.
How come race is not a risk factor? I mean, given the fact that there's actually a discriminating and violent global context. Or is it just like that in Canada? 🤔
But what if, in a couple of years, you end up marrying someone who has a daughter who was born in 2021? I think that would be poetic and beautiful. Just a random thought I had today :p
I love this video a lot lot lot!!! Thank you so much! <3 Extremely helpful for the freshman who wants to start the exam early. I wish I was able to see this video before I bought a $23 concept handout on Amazon.
The way this woman is talking and her facial expressions makes me think she’s clinically insane lol. I bet she’s the girl who talks to herself at school and sits in the far back corner of any classroom so that no one notices her.
How are you feeling today? It seems like you have some hatred in your heart and I just want to check in and make sure it isn't weighing you down too much. Hope you are doing well.
@@Ellellevlog I apologize, I meant it as a kind of bad joke, but it was insulting to say the least. So I apologize, you seem like a good and intelligent person based on appearances and you’re clearly doing well for yourself so just ignore everything I said it was a stupid attempt at humor.
@@Ellellevlog Thank you, you as well. You’re also a very beautiful/attractive woman I might add, I know it’s irrelevant but I just wanted state another positive thing you have going for you and why you shouldn’t listen to stupid RU-vid comments like the one I made.
HAHA "if you're not pooping daily, you should be eatting more fruit" - You got me here =P - There's something about your energy and your voice that made me watch your video. I feel like I fell for your delivery. I like how you really put your back into this video!
I am a graduate with a bachelors in Math. I want to be a data analyst to make money to pay for the Actuary Exams. my jobs pays for one college course and I am taking VEE courses and trying to take programming courses. How should I study for exams?
You can change. I think you just felt helpless at the time(commenting 3 years later lol). You just need to be loved for who you truly are(whatever quirks you may have, interests etc). I think subconsciously you already kind of know that. Obviously for someone who doesn't know you very well, you being 'mean' will come off as annoying. You need to be vulnerable enough to open up to people(talk them about how you don't actually want to be mean and etc)
