Best Courses To Study In University Besides Medicine 

I was studying MBCHB last year at the university of Stellenbosch. Not because I was interested in the health sciences but because the society instilled that mindset. But to me, being a mathematical scientist of some sort was always a dream. I thought about it all, and one thing qualified as the best option for me: Actuarial Science which I have began studying this year at university of Johannesburg. All I can say is that I disappointed my family by changing from medicine to actuarial science. I'm happy and I'm giving it my all as opposed to when I was studying medicine.

I am a proud father of a son doing engineering at Wits. The course is tough (chowing according to him) but I have seen how being challenged by the course has broadened his thinking and academic skills.

Matriculated in 2009. Students should not let their marks limit their horizons, the world is changing and needs agile people. Kindly encourage students to also look into the National Scarce Skills List,

1. Mining Engineering 2. Actuarial Sciences 3. Mechanical/ Mechatronic engineering 4. Computer Sciences or IT 5. Electrical engineering 6. Data Sciences 7. Industrial engineering 8. Accounting sciences 9. Petroleum /Metallurgical engineering 10. Chemical engineering

I did really bad in matric but I'm doing a degree in Quantitative Management at Unisa, majoring in Finance, Maths and Statistics. You fail, you pick yourself up and you do better🎉🎉

A career in Tech makes so much sense. The entry level positions offer very competitive salaries and some students get job offers while in their final year!!! But beware, it is hard however worth it.

You're are making a difference sham , lm currently in grade 12 and you have helped me deeply , lm forever grateful ❤❤

Im a business analyst by profession. Got a Barcherlos degree in IT: Business Applications. This is one of the most flexible courses one can look into. Its so broad and enjoyable. You can venture into Project Management, Software Developer, Data Science, Financial Information Systems, Change Management and Applied Mathematics. I'm now at Master's level and my dissertation mainly focuses on AI robotics. Most interviews i've been into there isnt much competitions. Mostly there would be 3 to 4 people. Good thing is that you can start at a level of Diploma.

Economics is also a good degree. Even Risk Management.

We like the way you motivate us keep doing the best some of us achieved many goals using your tips in your interviews stay blessed

Finally someone brought out the word‼️

I like you because you are using your voice and you are telling the truth as it is, big up my boy, I graduated in 2002 but I still feel this is relevant

I wanted to do medicine because of the stigma. Am a victime. But I shifted my attention to Acturial science in Kenya. I agree with you gift. The mindset should change.

I needed this video shem, my family is pressuring me to persue medicine just i was accepted but in reality they forced me to apply for it and i hate it so much, i hate anything associated with the health department, i love Computers and want to work with em and i think I'll take that path without telling them shem

I'm currently a matric student and feel so pressured by the expectations of my parents. The introduction already makes me feel at ease❤😊

Hi Gift. Thank you for your video. As someone who did really well in high school and is currently enrolled in BEng, I started having some serious doubts before starting varsity, particularly because of the mindset that "smart" people should be going into medicine. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I definitely have that mindset that medicine is the ultimate degree and everything outside of it "just is." So thank you. I definitely needed to hear this message. I will go study BEng this year, and maybe if I decide I really don't like it I will try to go into medicine or even something else.

Please do a video for students who are studying "teaching " both primary and secondary 🙏. I'm really interested in studying education next year

I know some students are going to be rejected for medicine at wits and get accepted for bsc biological sciences...and uj will also accept them for B.Eng mechanical engineering...they will rather do the bsc biological sciences at wits (thinking they will reapply for medicine after finishing that degree)...lol...instead of accepting B.Eng mechanical at uj ...😂😂...that Bsc route to medicine is torturous...please don't do it...i beg you...they only accept few bsc students for medicine...don't do it...thats my 2cent...

HE IS DROPPING KNOWLEDGE!!! GOOD JOB

Industrial Engineering is one of the best and Statistics

Don't just be motivated , have discipline you got this!❤

Please do a video on late applications, there's barely any info online besides TUT

You never talk about careers in agriculture that pays very well 😢

Thanks for highlighting ❤

What's your take on Mechanical engineering gift?😢

Excellent video, sir! I strongly encourage to the matriculants to understand yourself first and your interests. Think about what type of work environment you want to work in. Understand also that you'll never truly know what your future job will be like until you get there. Do as much research as you can on the potential careers. The best thing you can do is ask people in those careers what their job is like. Ask them what they like and dislike about their jobs.

Thanks for the video that's what I always wanted to hear.. I'm one of the student who wanted to be a doctor.. I always felt like a failer since I couldn't be a doctor.. I lost interest in studies..

I wish matric student can see this. Just that others they might think we are jealous of of them if we say this

Gift can you please explain more about industrial engineering course

Can you please also do a video regarding careers in agriculture please my brother 🙏🙏

Thank you gift for the video many students think that medicine it's the only way to success after matric, while there are many courses that are worth it.

Am listening this, to prepare for my son who will be in matric in 2029, God's willing 🙏

You speaking so much sense my brother, keep it up

Wanna do "Bachelor of Information science" at the University of Pretoria, at 1st I wanted to major in Informatics modules but later realized with my maths marks i can only get introduced to Informatics and some basics and won't be able to carry on with informatics modules till the last year. I almost wanted to just drop the course but someone advised me to go ahead with it, and i can make it work even without being able to carry Informatics modules till the end but because i am more interested in IT ..I can also equip myself with proggramming /cloud/IT courses on the side so by the time i graduate i have built my portfolio.I am trying to land on some career related to IT Manager, data analysis,business analyst,ICT, software development and basically Technology related careers. People who have some knowledge in this field can you pls advice me...

And to add on the Btech once you are done with it you can go do your postgraduate diploma at wits,up,unw and of which it gives same advantages as the BEng as you will be holding BSc

This is the video I needed ! Bare motivation bro
