how not to pick your university major 

You're gonna have to remind me what a laptop is, Karen!

A rectangle.

That's such CS mood

A larger phone.

A box with bright letters

many also drop out after first semester, because they don't hate themselves like we do 😂

Me with my major in phisics:

@@vivies2you with your physics major misspelling the word physics

@@renebrade4929 Dawn... you're right. English isn't my first language. Shame on me 😔

lol yes you are buddy

this is literally why im planning to get a CS degree 🥲 i dunno if i want to do it for the rest of my life but i just want a stable job

@@azrphl I learn CS as a part of my school curriculum, and let me TELL you- unless you have a passion for CS, you should try to look for another degree. Yes, statistically, it’s very stable and makes good money, but there are tons of people who don’t make that much or are struggling to..and not to mention..the job market will only get more and more saturated with software engineers, data analysts etc; If you truly love coding (like I do hehe), you’ll probably succeed in the field. Otherwise, you’re better off with another degree.

@@bushral.tasneem5464 do you have any reccs for degrees? im planning to learn coding once i get some free time to see if i actually want to do it, but tbh im not sure on what else to pick as a major. Nursing jobs here have awful pay, so i scratched that one off.

@@azrphlas someone who graduated in 2023 and struggling to get a job, the only advice i can give u is to start making projects NOW and apply to internships and make friends so once you are done with school u can ask for a referral bc referrals seem to be the only way to even get your first job now. Idk how the market will look when u finish school but its best to be prepared

@@bushral.tasneem5464i dont think loving to code will guarantee that you’ll succeed. Theres so many people unemployed right now and 2022/2023 grads cant even get jobs no matter how much they love coding or how good they are Its all about who you know and how mentally strong you are bc job hunting can easily cause you to hate coding

i'm sorry for bringing this to your attention please forget this video and finish your senior high free of worry

SAME HERE

@@itzzahh0998 two years later... SAME HAHAH

@@dusan5160 To give some actual advice: If you think about studying a certain subject, try it out for at least a week. If you are interested in anything computer related for example, learn programming. There are a lot of apps out there that can give you a starting point. If you wanna go into some kind of language, start studying it. Also, study that subject very intensively so you get a feeling of how its gonna be in college.

Oh i’m a senior in high school so i literally have to do this right now. Oh my god this is 2 years later. I didn’t even notice that. Hope you had a good rest of your high school.

Seems like a realistic place to come from. I watch yt video essays and am considering majoring in journalism; it does, in fact, get much worse than that.

I watched breaking bad and applied for chemistry.

@@bloothechronosapien4288😭

I decided to go into engineering partly because engineer is my favorite tf2 class... also because I like to build things and see things explode, so physics is one of my biggest interests. :)

If did that it would have to be a hunter (with dungeons), or get some nature, time, space bending powers with monsters and angels.

dont worry no one is ever ready godspeed my friend

Bro choose chemical engineering its very easy trust me

@@fewkeyfewkey5414thank you fewkey for letting us know

​@@fewkeyfewkey5414 I'm not taking that from a roblox bacon kid 😭😭😭

@@NomNomDrawings yes u are. Its very easy I being fr

It seems that you have made a better life plan than me. If I could do it over again, I would rather not go to college than choose my current major.

You and me both, I did the same thing, and I don't regret it, amazing how our paths are similar, I knew myself well and knew that if I did CS I would've died literally, I chose psychology and I'm loving it

Hey can I ask which major you did? I'm thinking of doing English and can relate to a lot of what you said.

I did a whole host of things, including political science, international affairs, and Asian studies (and those were just my majors) all within my four years of higher education. If English is your interest, I’d wouldn’t eliminate it as an option. You’d be surprised how many people, despite growing up in the U.S., don’t really know how to write. CS majors especially, that’s why such things as technical writers exist. I’m assuming you’re quite young, just about to graduate from high school or around HS graduation age. Your picking a major Just remember one thing about us humanities: Our path to success is often times not a straight line. Most STEM people who like to call humanities "useless" are often people who don't understand the humanities and often will give advice that are often not as applicable. Us humanities, we often times gain our skills as a side effect of our major. "Transferable skills" is a term you should understand and use often, as these are the skill sets that are going to be valuable to employers. When we’re studying items in literature or politics or what have you, what will be valuable to employers are the skills you learn that can be transferable. We're talking writing, research/analysis, public speaking, and yes, critical thinking might seem basic, but you'd actually be surprised how many people in STEM people actually neglect these skillset. Technical writers is a good example; these people in essential translate the technical jargons of engineers into a language that us laymen can understand, cause believe it or not, most engineers and CS people are not compelling or even that great writers. But that's just one example of the type of future after college individuals, as an English major's versatility is in that most employers would assume you are a solid writer if you graduate with an English major, long as a career field need writers then you will have something to offer them, and that's something you have focus on selling when you graduate. Writing is pretty self-explanatory, but another skillset that you derive from something like English is your ability to analysis large bodies of text and interpret said text into something usable. That is after all what lawyers do. If you really want to bolster and widen your skillset, taking a minor or second major can very much give you further options in life. But beyond that, your professional career after school will largely also depend on the effort you put in school. It's okay to have fun, but the more you prepare in college the easier it can be afterwards. This goes for all majors, but this is especially true for us in the humanities. I would highly recommend too to get work experience. And this can take many forms. Taking a gap year to work for example can give you a better sense of the real world and maybe help sharpen your focus in school so that you can establish those goals quicker while also saving up a bit of money. But if you are jumping stright into college after high school, then make it a priority to build work experience and skill set, as it will give you a massive leg up come time to apply for jobs. You'd be surprised how many work/internships are out there for students only, so take advantage of resources such as school career centers to stay informed, learn how to build a resume, and apply for a job. Preferably, find a job that you can not only balance with your school work, but is also something relevant with what you want to do in the future. This could give you an opportunity to see if that type of career field is a good fit for you or not. And who knows? Maybe that internship you had in college could turn into a full time position after graduation. But if you can't get a job or opportunities are limited at your school, then the next best thing is joining an extra circular. If you like writing, think about joining the school paper or with maybe a volunteer organization in a role that requires a lot of writing. These types of activities can help build a portfolio that you can use later on as proof that you've published actual work beyond the classroom for a professional purpose. Lastly, network network, network. Getting a job, as it does I suppose with any era, can be made easier by who you know. It's not just knowing people who can give you a job, but getting to know professors could open a lot of jobs. If you make a good enough impression, they may give you some advice on future prospects, maybe even introduce you to a colleague or write a solid recommendation letter. Good words can go a long way if they come from the write people. But if you don't know what you want to do or what you can do with something like English, it's all the more important that you go out and find out from people who were on your path. Again, professors can be a good resource if you utilize them, but many schools have career and alumni networks that might be worth a look. Ask these people: What types of jobs graduates from my major have gone onto? Try to reach out to alumni if you can and see what they are up to, see if their job choices interest you. Take the time to research into different career fields, and if you can, take a look at resumes and types of skills those types of careers may require, then work to develop those skills either through school, work, or extra circulars. If you do decide to pursue an English major, just remember: Learn how to sell yourself and start preparing for your future. I got my current job after an internship, where my boss help mentor me and help me navigate the hiring process for the federal government, a feat I don't think would have come to me as easily on my own. And because I had that help, I learn how to put my resume in front of someone who was hiring, who took interest in my academic work and thought because of that, I'd be a good fit for the job on hand. It will take a lot of work to be successful and it will take work, but the reality is no path these days is going to be straightforward. Work hard, prepare, and keep advocating for yourself. At the very least, you'll make those odds much better.

As an asian person who is currently attending a 95%+ asian high school, thank you very much for this. I've needed someone to say this for a few years now.

Too late already second semester of my second year 😅

​@@stevenlongacre326its not too late. I dropped out of art school after 1 semester. You really gonna waste another 2 years of your life just because youre afraid to follow your heart?

​@@stevenlongacre326you can take a gap year and find your dream and passions

@@williamwoolf8072 I really don’t know what to do anyway cause I just wanna chill in all actuality, so I chose engineering cause it’s kinda cool and will be sustainable.

my pregrad has been 8 years of an exploratory nightmare, jesus

honestly thinking about the what is the most stressful thing, but u got time to figure things out hope u find something u wanna do, good luck out there my friend

If you can't find to what, just make something that makes lots of money and it's quick to study (example programming) since you can invest your savings in the stock market (you can put them on the "bags" of companies of USA for example, so you always win ) there and retire early in 7-10 years depending on the pay. So yeah, it's a good investment, maybe later after being financially independent (that means your investments produce monthly what you need to live and rent a house) you could study what you want or do what you like.

⁠@@gabrielst527Not everyone is good a programming just like not everyone is good a writing essays. At best learn basic Python and few tricks related to business or else I would rather say find something in tech that you think you can do and get a certification.

CHILD DEVELOPMENT IS A SCAM

do not pick that, it’s one of the worst possible majors you can pick holy shit

Meanwhile every good CS school restricts or outright blocks transfer into their CS major. Honestly the only objective downside to majoring in CS is that everyone knows how lucrative it is, so getting into a good school for it is really hard

Hello, I know this comment is like so late and I'm pretty sure you're busy with your academics but I'm a Senior High School student and I wanna do forensics but I'm just anxious because I'm not that good in Science. What made you pick Forensics? Thanks

.

@@thewelcomer5698 nah, the main downside is that if you’re not interested in it it’s going to suck, just like with every major

​@@asdfghyterIf you're not actually interested in CS which is at least half the people at my school, you're gonna have a bad time

This was a very nice insight! I think so many ppl would really do better if they think of College more as one more part to get a degree, than seeing it as some sentence for life. Thank you so much for this input

i’d like a job in data science and the field interests me quite a bit but when i looked up the required courses in the computer science data option major it made me less excited. it seems like there are lots of math classes and other things i’m not particularly interested in. so what should i do? should i just bite the bullet and major in computer science even though the studying seems a lot less fun than the actual doing. or should i major in something i’m interesting in like marketing and then do coures/bootcamps and obtain certificates afterwards? - a lost high school senior

@@dea4128 I can actually speak to this a little bit, as there's quite a bit of data science involved in my research. (Within the sciences, we don't always get all of the skills we need for our work via formal courses. I had to teach myself a lot of the statistical analyses that I work with, as well as coding in R. 😅) For what it's worth, the math classes that tend to be necessary (or at least recommended) for data science are usually advanced statistics and linear algebra. Depending on where you end up going to undergrad, they may not even _offer_ those courses for undergraduates. However, you _will_ probably need them at some point. In general, you should probably take at least _some_ computer science courses in undergrad, even if you don't major in CS. Until you start doing the work, it's hard to determine whether you'll actually enjoy and/or excel at the tasks involved in coding. If there are courses that teach R or Python, those would be excellent choices (most stat work is done in those programming languages these days). Marketing would definitely be a good major, if you really want to avoid going deep into computer science as an undergrad. It tends to be one of the secondary qualifications of a lot of data science jobs (same with business majors, but majoring in business in undergrad is bad). You could absolutely major in marketing, but you should also take at least _some_ CS courses in undergrad, so determine whether you actually like it. Depending on your school, you could probably get a minor in computer science without an enormous investment of time. Also, pick and choose which CS courses you want to spend time on. So yeah, you can rely on post-undergrad certificates and coding bootcamps to learn specific programming languages, but at least try a couple coding classes to see if you like it in undergrad.

wuh oh. I don't know how to write competently 😢

@@Human-san Sounds like the educational system failed you a bit. 🤷‍♀

Why not just do the things you like as a hobby then? I'm thinking of getting a job just like that then leaving everything else to my free time.

@@dumaass while you do not have to necessarily LOVE your job/career, it is important that you choose a job that is at least not insufferable to you, especially as your job will essentially take up half your life until you retire. So the career you pick should at least be of some interest to you. While it is anecdotal, I've heard way too many regret stories from people who tried the "I'll just separate work from pleasure" mindset and then be near depressed when they realise the "work" takes up 5 days of the week and pleasure only 2 (and 2 if you're lucky and don't have other responsibilities).

@@sirbaguette8378 indeed

⁠@@dumaassThis is a nice idea to have when you’re young and spending 8 hours a day doing something you don’t like but have the rest of your time devoted to hobbies and free time - but the calculation changes as you age and get progressively more and more responsibilities, making that “free-time” to do what you like more and more precious, until you only are left with vacation days, then kids take up that too. It will drive you crazy eventually

@@sirbaguette8378,@Artyomi Thank you.

That’s true for the first couple years then its literally all about the individual elements of cities based on your focus. If you like, the option for an urban planning masters is available and there are clear tracks that lead to a well paying government or consulting job early career if you know what you’re doing.

I'm in your exact position. I was good at physics in highhschool and watch some yt videos abt walkable cities and thought i should go into civil engineering. Then i realised that i kinda hate math and physics and civil engineers dont have anything to do with urban planning. You just make bluprints and oversee construction. And most ubran planners don't have any kind of stem degree. I am planning on just making it through this degree and getting a masters in urban planning and hopefully that works out.

Civil is useful to go into transportation planning/engineering and you can pair it with a mup

@@shishbaraki think it is still useful as civil can become a planner with not much difficulty but a planner cannot easily go into engineering. Having an engineering degree gives you more options and salary

@@nishiljaiswal2216 yeah thats true. And there isnt a bachelors in urban planning, at least where i live, so i do have to study something else before getting a masters in it

never

This is too real, I really want to pursue biotech as a career but I’m scared I won’t get work 😭

are you me?? cuz im also in cs but im an artist at heart 🚬🗿

​@@napiltree5917the biotech industry is steadily growing right now, and should continue to do so. Lots of companies are working on novel treatments (especially genetic/epigenetic treatments), discovering new drug classes, gene editing in agriculture, not to mention everything in the academia/research institute world if you decide to continue to graduate education. That is definitely one field where you don't need to worry too much about finding work. If you're interested, I would say go for it!

Same same same except im a civ eng major. There's so many of us that in my uni we started an art club for all the burnt out stem majors who just wanna draw and play music and forget all the thoudsands of dollars we've poured into majors we don't care about.

Yeah I'm pursuing Business but with a STEM concentration so it won't be as insanely demanding in terms of advanced math but the programming parts should be something that I have to stay really on top of regardless. After having so much trouble with Calculus and C++, I'm hoping CIS will be a nice balance between tech and managing an organization. I like graphic design since it was part of my first job, so I hope the Systems Design part of that major will be an interesting and relatable subject to figure out. I love gaming and space exploration so hopefully I can get into game development or design and maybe get into production after using AAA as a place to learn and then indie/AA as a place to join something I feel passionate about (styles like KOTOR, Mass Effect, Lost Planet, etc.).

i have no idea why but I'm going into law

Don't you have to go to law school, not college to become a lawyer?

@@shaylam9151 wdym colleges have law faculties, I could've placed into law w the central exam (not american btw so idk)

@@louental slay I bet its gonna be fun (and gay)

@user-zt1so7hu8c oh, in the US, you can become lawyer only by attending law school after you finished college. In California, you can become a lawyer without attending law school OR college as far as I know.

Depends on your high school and area. Our high school system allowed “academy”/elective classes from pharmacy, firefighting, culinary, IT, criminal Justice, auto mechanics, etc. to commute to, which some gave you certifications and job shadowing opportunities by the end. Electives and AP classes will seriously save so many students thousands of dollars by exposing them to careers.

Pushing kids to go straight to university is a huge failing of our education system. We should encourage community college and a gap year or two spent in the work force. Nothing helps you figure out what you want to do more than figuring out what you DON'T want to do lmao. Community college is significantly cheaper, oftentimes higher quality education than university, and only a 2 year commitment that can transfer directly over to university. Source: I started community college 5 years after high school and have worked many jobs since then. Now finishing up my bachelor's in mechanical engineering at 30! Definitely wish I could've done this earlier, but life didn't work out that way. I'm doing very well and unlike, many of my peers, I know for a fact this is what I want and I have no chance of dropping out

some schools actually do this. my school makes it so you choose something in the field of what you’re interested in like health, computer science, education, culinary, fashion, rotc, engineering, art, agriculture, veterinary.. i feel like most high schools should have this since they push going to a four year college so much

I did not have the opportunity to graduate with my high school class of 2019 due to horrible mental health issues and whatnot, but I DID get into contact with a couple of my old classmates and apparently quite a lot of them aren't going to college or if they did they aren't happy because they said our high school was making it seem like college was the only option they had and had students send out 10 apps a day or some crazy number like that. It was also extremely stressful then and while I do sometimes wish to have had a normal graduation, I would not have had the Amazing experiences and jobs that I've had at the same time so I see it as a blessing in disguise. Btw I'm in college now and finishing the rest of my HS credits 😊

Three times? I'm listening

Waitt, what have you done with your life until you get into that situations. And what are those 3 major and why you change it? Are you not doing some research about those major while you chooseing it before or what? What makes you change it? Can you explain that lil bit to me because im a drop out, and in my exsistential cricis fase i thingking about taking collage again(even tho im not really sure and still questioning about my life) but i don't know what major should i choose. Maybe your answer can enlighten me a lil bit...

Why?

Is he acoustic???

This is the way, find a niche that's interesting to you when the "big picture" of the degree isn't appealing

@@pyxn420that’s one of the main reasons I chose computer engineering other than mainly software development

i always felt the same about mechanical engineering, i like to work with anything automotive so will this degree help me do that?

I blame minecraft. 12 year old me just wouldn't accept that the computer was broken or parental restrictions. A bit of troubleshooting and redstone later, and now Im halfway through electrical engineering.

Yeah I barely had to pay a thing. I got the “Presidential Honors Scholarship” paying for 15 credit hours per semester there because my gpa in high school and my first semester was high enough. I’m not sure if that scholarship is at a lot of other community colleges but it’s worth looking into. Also the professors were better at teaching than they were at university in my opinion.

Trust me it’s bad, but DONT slack off, I slacked off for 2 years after highschool (partly because of mental health issues until recently like last week I educated my self on it ) but I feel like if I took care of this issue earlier I would no have wasted these 2 years, please take care of any mental health issues in highschool while it’s still acceptable to not have a job and live with your parents. Make it your top priority while doing good in school. Please do it I’m regretting not doing it in highschool or earlier instead of wasting it. I picked IT but I’m not sure if I want to do it anymore I never did. I have faith though

​@@Cal827im in the same situation as the person you replied to and this makes me hella scared ngl

@@pashi2213 then take wha to said seriously, it’s one hundred percent not over for but I could of been in a much better place right now if I started then like in your position

I'm in 12th now and I've already picked chemistry math and physics as my only subjects So I can't do anything related to med anymore not even psychology so I'm thinking I should do something like graphic design , data science or research Engeering so I can do freelancing later and do videography so I can make travel vlog money together .I'm not entirely sure it will work but that's just my Basic interest But idk because literally everybody where I live does Engeering and I wont get even the basic paying job if I'm average because the good companies have millions of Employees to choose from So I feel like I'm doomed either way I don't like sciences or math I like physics in the slighest possible way Because I feel like it's easier in the entrance exam that I'll br writing

Well… did it work?

I wrote about geometry dash in one of my scholarship applications 😭

Did you get a degree in anime writing?

im thinking of pursuing it in the future cux of 2 reasons 1 i like physics 2 i like math 3 i like devices 4 how hard can coding be pfffft

You should try to go to a school of liberal arts, which will give you a bunch of electives you can take. You can use your electives for studying animation, drawing, and making videos, while you major in computer science. When you get out of university you can try to pursue your goals by making a RU-vid channel or doing some other kind of animation, and if that fails then you always have your computer science degree as a safety net to fall back onto. No matter what don’t give up on your dreams though, bro. Your own happiness is the most important thing

@@dadonkas5541 ty but we don't have school of art liberal here in France, we have private animation school that cost huge amounts of money and that are far away from here and public one that are very rare and hard to get access to :')

@@featherexe Ah, I see. However, I looked it up online and it seems like having a computer science degree can act as a gateway into animation, especially if you take some online animation courses in your free time. The animation might be more on the technical side at first, but after gaining more experience in animation, you could start to move over into the kind of animation you enjoy. There’s also the possibility of doing a masters in animation once you’ve gained enough financial stability through working in computer science

I could be engineer, but I chose study that I like more

this was so comforting and inspiring to read as someone who is very indecisive about what to take up in college and recently turned 18 :')

This is a great comment. It’s insane how 18 year olds are expected to have their future careers figured out when they are still growing and learning about themselves. For many of us, it will take us beyond our college years to understand what we actually want to do.

i mean... it's inspired by Dr.K from healthygamersgg (description)

lol its funny how you were able to sniff out her talent

Yo, so how are you doing now??

Nah it's a commentsection vent all you want (or not, I do it anyways) most ppl from my personal experience don't care. It's kinda like a diary page for venting, necessary if you want to get your shit together. Love ya ❤ you'll figure it out!

Well we gotta know how it’s going now. A lot can in 2 years I have to know I HAVE TO KNOW.

@@TheProcessorManiac Hi! Thanks for asking, I totally forgot that I wrote 3 paragraphs about my mental breakdown back then. As for my high school, I just pushed through everything and after a lot of stress I graduated. Now there is a public university in my city that focuses on engineering, I preferred it to any private university because I wasn't keen on getting a lot of debt for a major I wasn't even sure about. And that's another point, I had no idea what major I would like or what major would be best for me. I know how to code, I got the basics covered, but I'm not an expert and altough I sometimes liked coding I never did any project on my own like many of my enthusiast classmates did when we got school breaks. Besides, the thought of choosing computer science as a major in university and spending 4 to 6 semesters studying things I already knew and wasn't excited about wasn't really appealing to me. So what did I do? I chose a major in which the curriculum had a lot of classes that I had already taken in high school, that I liked somewhat and that I was enthusiastic about, so that I wouldn't be so unhappy while taking them. Mind you, I didn't care if that major had good or even *real* job prospects in my city (it doesn't), I just thought about being kind of happy. Right now I don't know. I enjoyed most of my classes, most of them were things that someone had already taught me in the past, so I took the opportunity to really try to understand what I missed the last time I studied them. The problem is that I don't know what to do with my life in general, you know? I really struggle to see myself in 5 or 10 years. I have trouble even imagining myself working in something; I feel like I'm not good at anything and I'm not interested in anything. Yes, I've enjoyed the classes so far, but I'm not even sure what I might be able to do when and if I graduate. If anyone has any tips on this kind of problem, I would really appreciate it. So yeah, I'm sorry for the long and disappointing update. I'm not sure what the future holds for me. But I hope I won't starve or be too unhappy. Thanks again for asking and have a nice day :)

@@noelvalenzarro Thanks for asking :) I replied a really long text to @kshitijvaze1819 so you can give a look to that. In a nutshell, is me complaining about my *current* crisis

@@pyxn420 I work on a daemon that controls a cluster of computers. It relays information back to a dashboard and attempts to manage the cluster in a way that requires minimum human intervention (either remotely, or having a guy come out to fix it). Basically, it tries to be as reliable, flexible, and self-healing as possible. It is also responsible for setting up and managing services for cluster-wide synchronization such as logcabin

This is the reason I didn’t go into art or programming. There’s nothing you can do that makes money in either of those professions that gives you purpose. You’re someone else’s tool to use, a workhorse, and that’s your life. No meaning. Bums me out

@@saycap I couldn't disagree more. The purpose of art is to comunicate. It can educate and entretain people about literally anything. As for programming, there is a purpose for it in almost every field! It can save lives! The other day I found out that a one year old boy had an unknown and life threatning virus in his body. Programmers from my university worked hard to sequence the virus and saved the boy! If that had no purpose to you idk what else will. Tell me what's purpose to you and I'll give you examples back.

@@saycap you’re thinking about it wrong. You’re only a work horse if your only value is working hard. If you have valuable skills like coding or drawing and have proof of good work you’re more like a mercenary. You can go wherever you want because high skilled people are low in supply.

Happy New Years! 🥳

Depends how much you like money

I would definitely make sure you have a realistic understanding of the job market, your future salary, and the cost of your own life goals (potentially having a family). Sometimes it's better to go with a career that pays the bills that you dislike the least. But for some - your passion is worth trading stability for.

​@@MachFiveFalconIt depends if you want a family or not. If not, then even small salary wont really affect you, but you will work a job you love.

@@wander67I absolutely agree. Just something to consider. But living out your passion can make everything worth it - I get it.

I was a different engineering major but otherwise the same lol. I'm pursing something that's less profitable but still stable that I'm more naturally suited for.

Are you sure? You might want to think that again buddy. I have lots of relatives that have bad experiences with mechanical engineering degree. Do lots of research. Regret hurts a lot later, especially in the long run off your career.

⁠@@tiomyname9434 our brains as soon as we try to settle on a decision:

Assuming you’re good enough to actually get a job in the field and keep it.

@@eliana993 Sure, but that applies to basically every career. The only significant exception I can think of is nursing/healthcare where acquiring a job is a little more straightforward after education.

My friend's sister quit business because it got too shady for her, if I recall correctly.

wait what did u change it to 😭 im also a business major considering it

If you don’t like it the work itself which is very different from studying computer science I would get a product or business related job and stay away from software engineering even if you studied cs. It’s stupid competitive in USA at least. Be prepared to leetcode for your life. If you’re an international student in the us you’re even more screwed.

Don't worry if you're smart about how you get into schools and what you do while you're in. It won't be bad. Also, the first year of college is a general year. If you are somewhere in the ballpark of your true passion you will probably see it.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT and ohhhh man i would pick a sleeping panda over nursing ive heard nothing but horror stories about it 😭

you just don't get it

Fate is made up thing

what. why? how? why 11?

@@da_copreee9929 at 11 you have to choose if you want to go to university or to work in a specialization. Then you go to “ Gymnasium (high school) until you are at 18. The last 2 years of our high schools is the same as first 2 years in America. It’s very hard to get an A+ too.

Where in Europe? I've lived on this continent my whole life & I don't remember picking shit at 11.

History major here, too! I know SO many former history/humanities majors who are now in law school or are successfully practicing law. The humanities in general build skills that are critical for lawyers, especially when it comes to formulating coherent arguments and organizing information. But, that isn't the only lucrative field that humanities majors can go into. I know med school students with degrees in medieval studies, software engineers with degrees in English literature, and tech workers with degrees in philosophy. It's all about how you market yourself and the skills you pick up along the way. :)

@@djat7933So true! Thank you for your feedback! I haven’t decided where to go yet but I still have a few years and I want to enjoy how life is right now. It’s a lot more chill than I thought it would be. That probably has a lot to do with the fact it’s one of my strengths and well…guilty pleasures

I'm glad that you enjoy your choice!
