As a 32 year old going back to university this is pertinent. I already have a bachelor's degree but am getting another degree in data science. The best part is all I have to pay for is books. If you want to go to school for FREE Uber will pay if you are a driver and complete a certain amount of rides and keep a gold status throughout your time in college. I know Starbucks has a similar program but I believe it's for 1st degrees only.
You must understand his perspective is one of his own and nothing more. The MOST versatile degree you can earn is either a BSW or MSW (Bachelor or Master of Social Work) and many of us make $100,000.00 or more each year in a variety of settings. I graduate with my BSW in December and I'm going straight into a Masters program in January - why? because I want to become a psychotherapist and it's the required credentials. If this gentleman thinks he'll obtain positions with ONLY A Bachelor's in Physics, he's greatly mistaken. I guarantee that if he wants to make big money - he'll be pursuing a Master's degree in the future - not everything said in this video is valid and I strongly urge you all to look other places for information on going back to school.
I believe I mentioned that you'd have to get a graduate degree to be competitive. There are other paths, you're right. I merely made a video about my experience. With my physics degree, I've already taught (did not need a master's, as most teachers do), worked as a programmer, and trouble shot electronic equipment for the military. I also briefly considered taking the patent law examination, as a physics degree is on of the only paths to practice law without requiring a JD, albeit in a limited capacity. I appreciate your comment though.
