  2. Coming from poverty, moved out at 18 on top of that, first generation college student. 100% money matters. I'm not materialistic but I have a strong passion for not starving.

  5. My uncle graduated 5 years ago with an electrical engineering degree and he loves it, he also loves psychology, so instead of going to university he bought books and self studied instead of wasting 50 grand to get a college degree. Moral of this story if u like psychology make sure you have a good degree beside it

  6. As a Chemical engineer that graduated in May 2020, I can agreed that 70% of the time you will have to move for your first job, but often times it is paid for by the company. I rate my current satisfaction at 85% (mostly because of my current location). Also, about 25% of my graduating class went on to receive advanced degrees in a non engineering fields like law, medicine, and business.

  7. The greatest TRADE deal in history: this video

  8. I was a pharmacist in Korea, and moved to the States 2 years ago. I had no idea what I can do here, and it seemed impossible to have a full time job taking care of my kids. Thanks for making these videos, it's such a big guidance to me.

  10. I cant believe the amount of replies you have written for people who commented. You sir earned my respect and a new subscriber. May only good things happen to you. God bless you.

  11. Hell yeah, finally a video about WGU! I got my master's degree from WGU in 4 months for only about $3650 total and it was definitely worth it (for me)!

  12. Im an industrial engineer and I totally recommend it. I have been living in Argentina and now I’m working in production in Australia. I really like that the degree gave me the knowledge and confidence to be part of decision related with production but also with some other aspects of the company. In my opinion industrial engineering gives the freedom to work in different parts of a company! If you try to find a job as an industrial engineer you are not going to find it easy , just try to find it as the field that you want to work in. That’s the way I got the job that I have now . I hope it helps ! Thanks!

  13. You read my mind. I was thinking about how cool a video like this would be a few days ago. I majored in finance and I'm currently working as a Finance Intelligence Analyst for a big tech company. Finance is extremely interesting and a lot of passionate people seem to be getting involved in the field. Anyone out there thinking about majoring in finance, do it! It's the best major in terms of understanding the "ins and outs" of businesses.

  14. I’m 13 years old and for some reason I’m here. I guess I’m planning ahead for years from now 😀

  15. It's a shame that teaching isn't like being a doctor or lawyer where there's professional school for it after undergrad, weeding out the lazy dregs who tend to be attracted to the career here in the states. If you made it a lucrative career, it'd be considered prestigious, and you'd get some of the smartest people going into it. I wonder if there's anyway to rearrange our public education system to make doubling teacher pay (with even higher ceilings based on merit) a reality.

  16. Outstanding video!! As an actuary who hires actuaries, I look for strong math skills (I prefer math majors with actuarial classes), and computer experience is a plus. By the way, actuaries develop software that allow automation. It's just easier to teach an actuary programming skills, than it is to teach a programmer actuarial skills. If you decide to be an actuary, never...never...slack on the exams. After you achieve your FSA, it smooths out.

  17. This info is perfect for a 34 y/o active duty military with kids! Thanks for keeping real like always

  18. Tip for all industrial engineers out there: be an expert on statistics, problem solving, optimization and Python. You would thank me later🤠

  19. I’d say this pandemic has made this major a lot more relevant than ever before.

  22. I’m a Senior majoring in Business Management (and getting a certificate program in HR). Everything you mentioned is basically spot on. Thank you and good luck to all!

  23. Would not mind seeing a longer more detailed version of this + more obscure majors like Mortuary science.

  24. Poli sci. major here from awhile ago. I'd recommend students to hone their skills in 1. Writing/communication (not as straightforward as it sounds) 2. A language 3. Data science 4. Reasoning (not as straightforward ss it sounds; philosophy electives go a long way in this regard) Be proactive in self studying and picking up skills (way) outside the syllabus. Your biggest resource as a college student is time. Don't waste it. It'll be unrealistic to expect to master all these skills in 4 years, but putting in the work in undergrad is a good foundation to building them later on.

  25. " You shouldn't relate choosing a degree with your passion " best lines by shane.👌👌👌

  26. I’m currently on the 4th of the 5 courses , I have over 5 years of IT support in my past roles and just wanted to add something to my resume to stand out more (I only have a high school diploma) , I have yet to finish this class and have already experienced an increase in calls from recruiters just by the fact I’m enrolled in the course and have it on my resume. Also when completing the course it counts as 12 college credits. I definitely recommend this to anyone that already has IT Experience and wants to further their career , especially during this current pandemic and job crisis. I believe this program got me my work from home job that I start this Monday. God bless and best of luck to everyone.

  35. I am 16 and I love how Shane is increasing my motivation for Computer Science while making me laugh at the same time. By the way, you are almost at 200K subscribers
    427
  36. I love how this video is presented in factual data, that is the engineering way.
    425
  37. As someone who is in the process of deciding, this video is exactly what I needed

  42. It's been 4 years since graduating with my computer engineering degree. Pay is amazing. Benefits are amazing. Flexibility is amazing. The projects are (usually) interesting. There are so many openings in computing. There are so many business opportunities as well. It's absolutely insane! I think companies are really, really desperate for talent right now. I got lucky ending up in Silicon Valley but there is no doubt in my mind that the degree is extremely lucrative anywhere in the developed world. At my university, computer engineering was 85% computer science, 15% electrical/electronics engineering. It's functionally equivalent to computer science as far as the industry is concerned. I chose to take robotics electives in school but don't actually use those skills in my job. I'm just a standard software developer/engineer. Haha. I have a friend who went the boot camp route and struggled a lot in the field, being the first target during layoffs and having to learn A TON of stuff that boot camps just don't cover. With some tutoring and some years of on-the-job training he is doing OK now, too. I'd definitely recommend the degree route as it lays the complete foundation and gives you the flexibility to learn about some of the more advanced specializations like machine learning, artificial intelligence, programming languages, computer graphics, game development, distributed systems, and more in a controlled learning environment with ample timing before jumping straight into the subset of the industry you're interested in.

  43. So far I’m seeing the number one way to make money from chatgpt is to make a video about chatgpt 😂😂

  44. Really crazy that some people are here in the comments criticizing this FREE helpful information that was given just because it didn’t pertain to them specifically. Maybe there’s a reason those people aren’t finding a job, that sense of entitlement can’t get you too far in life. Maybe try to be courteous and appreciative and not so demanding. Thanks for the great info!!!

  45. Great video Shane! Completely Nailed it. As a data scientist myself, I was a little surprised at how high the job satisfaction scores were. On the job, a lot of my peers find that they aren't challenged enough by their positions. This is probably because data science is still relatively new, and companies are still figuring out how to create value with data teams. The other side of that is that once you have a data science role it is pretty easy to land another data science job so qualified data scientists can just leave if they aren't liking the position at hand. I love seeing the data and trying to map it to what I'm hearing anecdotally!

  46. I finished the "Google IT Automation with Python" certificate. After a few months I got a job in tech support, and yes it was entry level. Therefore, I think it was worth it.

  47. I finished the Google Data Analytics cert on February 28, 2022. I didn't know any data analytics before that, and I was in a health-focused master's program but I wanted tech skills to supplement what I was learning in school. The class gave me a good intro to data analytics. I then took a data analytics course through my master's program where I did a bunch of Excel projects focused on healthcare data and added them to my portfolio. Then, I had to do a Power BI dashboard for another class in the master's program and added that to my portfolio. Finally, I took extra SQL classes but then realized that a certain kind of SQL platform is used most in healthcare, so then I specialized in that software. In January 2023, I had 5 data analyst interviews and just landed a job at a health insurance company, and the job pays $84,000 a year. I still haven't completed my master's degree, but I think the combination of the data skills and being in the master's program helped me get the job. This is what I realized helped me most on this journey: 1. Take extra classes to supplement the Google class - ex. Excel courses, SQL courses 2. Specialize in a certain SQL platform if you want a job using SQL 3. Have portfolio projects that showcase your Excel skills, data viz skills, and SQL skills 4. Focus on getting very good at SQL because it's the most important data analysis skill. The Excel skills and data viz skills are still a good foundation for data analytics so don't completely neglect them but definitely focus on getting very good with SQL.
