this is a damn good video. actual good advice ill think about as a 16 year old

Thank you bro, for your wonderful story and advice. I just want you to know, I would be honored to be your friend. you mentioned making friends can be extremely difficult as an adult and I couldn't agree with you more. The biggest part of making friendships I have discovered is that similar to a school environment you have to set aside time for those interactions in your overly busy daily routine. I am just now starting my journey into computer science and will definitely put your advice to good use.

As an EE major, I completely agree that the hard classes in any degree are the ones that make you stand out to recruiters. All my friends call me a masochist for taking analog design, quantum and electromagnetic theorem and those classes in specific got me a kick ass internship working on quantum systems

I would fall into the "take the hard classes" camp too...but I'll be honest, too many recruiters look at raw GPA and don't really consider the quality/difficulty of the classes taken.

Go learn it bro, u looks young and it's never too late

This is probably a pretty weird place to ask for advice, but I'll give it a try. I am a senior in high school, and right now I have the option to take two core computer science courses at my local community college (one is in discrete structures, the other is in computer systems), and have those transfer to a state university. If I took these, I would be able to start off with 300 level computer science courses as a freshman. I'm not sure if there are even enough computer science classes I can take as an undergraduate if I start with 300 levels, and I would be getting an objectively worse education for those two classes I would take during high school. Do you have any advice for this situation?

May I ask? Because I, m not getting it. Computer majors should be studying in University, why everyone is saying college though.

3rd sem currently in university. Wish me luck

❤💻🍻

add a bit of reading and these become my 6 professional goals of 2025. written down in my block note, i couldnt have imagined that someone (who has graduated ) would recommend the things i am doing now as a 1st year student (or trying to) add to this that the courses you mentioned you wanted to take (filmamking, creative writing.. ) are all things that align perfectly with my interests, not that im gonna take them, because that's not an option as im not even a cs student. Nevertheless, great advice, great video, really heartfelt and genuine. thank you sayhyun.

Currently following a diploma in IT. There's so little in the course right now to do and I have so many side projects that I really have to finish really makes me think: Do I really have free time?

no one asked your advice

😊 there is ageism. I don't see too many programmers made it to their 60s.

Companies do not want you to do the programming personally. They want you to lead a team of overseas workers to do the programming.

Two major fields of programming are business and scientific. Certain jobs are for engineers only.

i was going through programming videos. however the reason i clicked this video is 한국 이름이거든요 😁

I have a degree in Software Development but nobody will give me a chance, it sucks ass and now I work at Amazon.

If you are not going to a good college forget about the education part, you will get nothing but the paper.

Thank you 😊! Wish you the best

Thank you for the down-to-earth and realistic advice. I feel better and more prepared for college now!

You are too young. At your age you remember everything, but in 20 years you will forget everything andvthe only thing that will be left with - is the degree...

Java is so hard lol I am struggling in it this semester. I am loving web programming more and more

What have heard is job finding after masters from top colleges like Univeristy of Michigan or like Gtech is still quite competitive? is that true? Im a junior in HS and wanna major in SWE because of moeny

wow a video that actually has honest advice and this really resonated to me thank you so much for sharing

if u will going to be programmer you need to build projects or big project.

Very genuine advice. I really hope I knew these when I was still in uni.Thank you so much for sharing though!

Wrong field to get a degree in

I'm currently studying computer science at a university in sri lanka. Just started my first semester and I have no idea what I am about to face.

I double majored in cs and finance, and struggled to decide with path I wanted to take. I got a finance internship one summer for a company in seattle, but I didn’t like it. now I’m doing a swe internship post-grad and feel like I have so much catching up to do. I definitely wish I would’ve prioritized getting more swe internships and college/being more in involved lol.

Without certifications it will be hard to get an IT job. Instead of going to college you would be better served getting certified rather than a college education. Hiring managers prefer certifications over the degrees anymore. also a degree is just outdated theory that is taught whereas certification is theory and practicality. Companies already expect you to have experience.

more than anything the only reason I want to attend college is for a good job

I am 28, next year i will save enough money to start my degree! Do you guys have any suggestions?

Why is it a problem where to take your girlfriend next when going to a restaurant?

greatg video lil blhd

Congratulations on completed your degree in CS. I am very proud of you. Good luck with your job in the future. No matter where you work.

i think world system in education should change, btw thats not just my opinion i read some education scientist about that and specificly in school we took 12 years study to finish school and get college to get degree and our information is nothing to get job or having information like economics law physcology, we finish school with zero information and this should do you think this system will change?

Please what app do you use in editing your videos

Unfortunately my school sucks so for me it is all about the degree and the courses do not matter.. I do not learn anything from my school its pretty sad. its all self taught. Ive emailed for help before and the response I get is simply "look online".. yeah.. my school sucks but im to far in to try for a different school so heres to going for just a piece of paper showing I completed it

Why did you get a C+ in your Data Structures & Algorithms? Every Computer Science students should Ace this class, just like a boss in the video game that prevents you to proceed to the next level until you master killing it.

94-2005, degrees were pieces of paper. You have to have an angle, a mission, self-learning. Still. Truth is, right out of high school, you know jack. 4 years later, you still know jack. You have to put your hands on the wheel. College was great, but not even a baby step. The most expensive baby step. Show me a BS curriculum where they require you learn to code a TLS pipe, secure. It's all wrong, and I should have used CE as a base, not CIS/CS. Not web dev, not the fake cybersecurity degree. Hardware first. You'll feel better about the logic you consume.

I found it interesting that you mentioned about CS being more of an "art" degree. I will say that I am not CS, but rather EE, but usually we wind up inside the same boat academically. Something I I find that is commonly misunderstood about engineering, is that it's not primarily a technical degree. First and foremost, engineering is about designing. Engineers are designers. In the same way that an artist may attend college to broaden their social and creative backgrounds to be able make better designs, An engineer studies in college to broaden their technical and theoretical backgrounds (and some parts social/creative as well) to design better solutions to a given problem.

UPDATE !!!!

last part is the hardest

Real question, what/where did you go to make the dating sim game? Also, Id love to see it.

One correction: The PAPER/DEGREE gets you the job. The SKILLS you gained from the classes and internships lets you KEEP the job.

Great video man, It looks nice weather sayhyun! 멋져요 세현님!

This is so me… which is why I’m going back for computer science. I realized I’m not passionate about video game art so in 2 years I’m going back to completely restart. I wasted my first 4 years and It won’t happen again

It’s also important to take a few classes outside of your major that are not of interest to you. This will force you to learn things because you say you’re going to learn them. This is very important in your future.

I totally understand. My undergrad CS was based in Pascal. My brain still thinks in Pascal. It's taken me years to break out of top-down Pascal and default to thinking in terms of thread concurrency. I eventually mastered libdispatch only to have Apple deprecate it in favor of Swift's Async/Await. Old dogs don't learn new tricks quickly. Yep. I'm 64.

Interesting backpack you’re using… What type is it? I think I’m a bag snob 😂
