[@zukychan9882]

I remember when I was like 12, I decided I wanted to become a therapist. It was what had motivated me to study, until like 10th grade, when my mom told me I will never make a living as a psychologist. I must admit, my mom's opinion always had a major impact on me. I am a very indecisive person, so when I would make a choice, my 'loyalty' to it would be hugely dependent on whether my mom approved of it. Pathetic, I know. The thing is, her lack of faith in me put me off my game so much, that I lost any interest in anything I've been passionate about to that point. Psychology just seemed pointless to me. Drawing and painting, which I always loved to do, became a waste of time because it wasn't something I could make money off of, as my mom said. And perhaps she was right... But now, I'll be turning 20 soon. I took a gap year after graduation to prepare for the exams I needed to get into med school (I'm in the European education system btw)(and yeah, my mom said I should be a doctor, so of course I thought maybe, I should try), and wasted the entire year not studying because I realized I'm not even fucking sure if I want to do this. And I was afraid I was going to waste my efforts, yet again, only to fail and be left with nothing, again. Only now I'm realizing that at least I should've tried. Maybe I would've found myself liking it. I've always liked learning, and biology was one of my favourite subjects. But I don't like chemistry. I don't like physics. And I just... I'm not sure what to do with myself anymore. I realize I'm a parasite, just silently living off my parent's wages, because I haven't even managed to find a part time job during this entire year - because I've never gathered any work experience during High school. My mom always told me to focus on studying. Well, all that studying had given me nothing! I've been an idiot to let myself be driven by my need for my mom's validation and my inaction. So to whoever bothered to read this, don't be me. Don't feel obligated to listen to your parents. The internet serves massive opportunities to explore anything that you're interested in, and even gives you the means to try them out. Don't just focus on studying, if you're not sure what you want in life. Try different things, don't linger where you don't feel like you belong. And I beg you, don't abandon the things you like, just to further your 'academic success'. That GPA will be worth nothing if you don't know what to do with it after. I'm sorry for ranting. And I hope that everyone who ended up on this video will find a way to sort out their goals. I'm still probably going to try the impossible, and fail spectacularly, but I'm going to try getting back into my old passions. Just to have the means to somehow manage my... I don't want to call it depression, but I've never been in a worse state than I am now. I think I've lost the person that I was when I graduated High school. So I'll try finding something else. I just hope I'll last until that day, and don't do something stupid. You people will make it. I know you will. You have to.

hey you are more than your indecisiveness and obligations you feel like you have to follow.

I left it because i was also indecisive...still am to an extent and i was really dependent on my grandmothers opinions cuz at that time i felt like i had no one else to trust. But now i have started to be and do what i truly want and am interested in and i hope you can too! i realised how much i loved learning new things especially maths, physics, chem, (and a lot more diff things), how happy and proud i would feel making drawings, singing, dancing, how nice it felt talking to new people (my ability to do that faded during the pandemic), oh and i decided to study psychology side by side andddddd yeah i hope you can, we both can get more healthier and do what we truly want to.

this reminds me of a quote that went something like "find a job you like and you'll never have to work a day in your life"

[@mostlyimpulsive3462]

The thing is, idolizing that quote is also how you set yourself up for burnout. Of course, actually liking your job is crucial! But even the best job in the world tailored for you specifically has its off days. Tasks that are excruciating and unavoidable, irritating colleagues, days where you question your own competence and if your work actually contributes to anything, not meeting your financial needs, getting doors shut in your face over and over again. It will happen, possibly many times. And that's entirely normal. A lot of people, myself included, chase after that idea of a "perfect" job that goes on forever, but it's just not realistic. That's how you miss opportunities in pursuit of 'the one', how you fall out of love with your work when it fails to live up to "never work again in your life". The truth is, even when you truly love your career, you will still *work* some days! And that's just fine. There are many paths to being happy.

EDIT: Y'all got me fired up in the comment section but it's really not as simple as you guys think. Trust me I'm going to try my hardest to make sure I don't do what I don't want to. My parents themselves don't want me to sit behind a desk if that's not what I want. But they also know how tight money is and how much they're sacrificing sending me to college. Those Asian generational pressures are strong, man. Plus I have a sister to take care of, my grandma got diagnosed with cancer, and my house's rent just keeps going up.

Im 13 turning 14 this year, and I’ve been thinking about starting a small buisiness or tutoring some other kids in english as an extra form of income. But, i’m not allowed to use the main form of social media for where I live, which is also the main way people pay others. I recently cut off pretty much all forms of video games and am trying to cut off youtube, so that I can progress more academically and fix my sleep schedule, so that my parents let me use the app. This video really solidified my goal of tutoring other kids, so thank you :DD edit: I wouldn’t say you should completely cut off games straight off. For me, it was being overall bored with the game and the shock of seeing I spent 1700+ hours in a game. I could have spent this time sleeping, studying, its 2 whole months of time. I still do sleep pretty late, whether it’s books I’m reading or youtube. I still find ways to procrastinate, and am suffering from an overall lack of motivation.

I'm 16, and my passion lies with digital art and animation. I spend all my free time on it, but I really couldn't see myself finding stable income in the future doing something related. I'm over halfway through my second last year of high school and I selected my classes to revolve around science and math as much as possible & I aim to can get into a university for CS or engineering. I'm not sure if others can relate to this, but I really just want to find a well and stable paying job so I have enough money to really live life and splurge on my hobbies the way I want to rather than rely on them as my livelihood. I understand where people come from when they say 'don't pursue things like CS or sciences for money, only do it if you're really passionate', or 'there are really good art avenues to earn income from' and I definitely support at least trying to pursue your hobby, but I really feel it's safer to have something like a science background for worst case scenario. Outside of art, I'm quite neutral about all my other subjects. Sciences definitely do bring me (and I imagine a lot of others) bouts of grief, but that's less about the subject and more about my performance and the high expectations required of majors in tandem of these subjects. I often think about if I would just live happier doing something I'm not necessarily passionate about as long as I can make enough income.

[@_Rainydaysinjune_]

My passion is also art and I've been going through these exact same thoughts since I started my sophomore year. I've been thinking that doing my hobbies as a career wouldn't bring me the comfortable life I desire, but after watching this video, I can at least try to see if it will work out the way I want it instead of leading myself to go on a path I'm not 100% sure off. Its good to try to see if your passion will grant this life even if its small at first. Who knows, maybe you could be hired at a well-paying animation studio and live the life you want. Either way I wish you luck in your journey.

[@fantasiadragonite9474]

Srsly same here. I’m interested in writing articles and poems but it obviously doesn’t bring you a lot of money and I’m the kind who wants live an easy life and splurge on things that I like without worrying which is my I’m planning on doing Science (Engineering cause it’s the shortest course yk done with 4 years)(btw I’m 16 as well) I don’t necessarily hate science cause I actually find physics interesting. I’m probably gonna continue writing alongside engineering (even though I have zero interest in it) and maybe do my masters in literature.

Im going to school as a heavy equipment operator, something I never thought I'd do. The plan was art school, business school, or my favorite, no school. That was until we were cleaning up my nanas old property to put a new house on it, and we rented an excavator to do the job, and I mean a big boy excavator. My moms partner at the time was digging a hole to bury the trash pile in until he had to go do something else, so he asked me to finish it. It was my first time anything other then a car and took me a while to work out the bucket, but I learned quickly by myself and had a blast. Next thing I knew I was moving debre, digging up huge rocks and stumps, along with flattening the area so we could poor the cement. It was the coolest thing I've ever done and sparked a huge desire to learn the trade and do it more! I highly encourage trying out the things you plan to go to school for, along with trying things outside of your current plan. It widens your pallet and opens doors, and now I've found something I'm truly interested in and want to pursue.

Hey, random advice: To all who those who want to go to medicine school (or any medicine related field): I'm not trying to sway you of anything but imma state this rn: Any medicine course and the job itself will eat you, your health, your sanity and your time. If you think that either: I want to be a doctor, nurse, biology, medtech, pharma. Consider this questions before taking this route: Are you ready to devote your entire life into non-stop studying/learning? Are you ready to NOT have any free time for hobbies and family time? (Those who say that they have time are simply a lucky few. Don't assume you have such luck in this fields) Are you ready to give up atleast 80% of your time for work? (Regarding if you wanna work inside a hospital) Are you willing to work inside a setting that is toxic af, where patients and colleagues demand the best at all times cause ur handling a human life? Are you ready to handle the bs other people/patients throw at you (Shit could get physical sometimes) Are you ready to destroy your sleeping schedule and not eat properly for the rest that you are employed? Are you ready to be not properly compensated in terms of income (3rd world country exclusive) If any of these questions you answered no, i suggest to NEVER EVER GET CLOSE TO THIS FIELD EVER. Trust me, medicine is a world of pain. Don't believe jack shit about others who say that its not that stressful or that they have time. - A pharmacist in some shitty 3rd world country that was forced by parents and has the income less than 2100$ per month.

As a 22 year old, I’ll leave some of my advices here, in case they become useful to someone out there. Regarding languages specifically, if you want to learn a language, start right now. If you end up dropping it later, it doesn’t matter, because at least you took that first step. If your goal is to actually get at a decent fluency level, start as soon as you can, and record you progress. Write down what you know, record yourself speaking. Later in a few years, looking back you’ll be aware of all the progress you have made on that language. If you keep postponing, you’ll find yourself looking back and wondering what you were doing instead of taking advantage of the time. Also, one of the major advices I could give is to write notes to your future self, journaling if possible. You don’t need to write every single day, but you can vent off once in a while, make predictions, or just advice yourself. It is so heartwarming to read things you wrote yourself years ago, and it keeps you wondering what your past self would think of you today. In addition, I wished I had gotten a hobby of some sort during my teen years. I’m the type of person that knows a little bit of everything, but nothing at the same time. Play an instrument, get obsessed for reading books/novels/short stories, get into writing, start a sport/workout routine, cook if it’s something you love. That way maybe you will find your passion. Finally, I would advice you to stay healthy. Get your regular medical checks, go to the dentist (get braces as soon as possible, if you need or want them), eat your meals (as basic as this sounds, please eat what you’re supposed to. Developing stomach/gut issues due to fasting is not cool at all). Sleep your hours and workout regularly, even just walking a bit everyday will do. For anyone reading this, and in case you need to hear it from someone, you’re not alone in this. Do what you like, what brings you joy, laughs, peace. Hang out with people that do you good, and don’t stress over those who don’t. There’s always gonna be people who care about you, somewhere.

I’m literally in the same boat as you, turned 19 2 days ago and almost done with freshman year. Every few days I get bouts of anxiety cause of my major. My elder sister is in designing and I’m in cs, I keep wondering how my life would’ve turned out if I had gone down the same path as her and not cs. I was doubtful about going into interior designing cause I thought that I wouldn’t be creative enough, and chose cs due to the pressure from family and tutors. But now I feel trapped cause cs really isn’t interesting to me and I just long for art. I used to draw as a hobby and I just miss it so much. I’ve been thinking about switching my major but I don’t know if that would be a wise move since cs has a better paying job at the end. But I can’t even imagine myself working in this field.

Architecture has A LOT of math and shit so if you dont like math and mainly like art then try interior designing instead ? You dont have to decide anything right now ofc

[@afullnamehere]

take it from me, i love drawing and dropped out of architecture. do NOT do it just because you like art. there’s… - math (calculus level) - research + field work (location, clients needs, building code) - presentations (your work, seeing everyone’s work as better than yours) - client communication (who are usually vague or confused or demanding) - precise drawing (specific line weights, etc. Basically not freeform or relaxing, but after the design stage, it’s a bit mindless) (you’ll do better if you have great perception of space.) - lots of manual labor (making physical models + 3d models, drawing) (yes there’s digital but they want you to know the basics) Of course, all degrees are hard. And there’s pretty great stuff in it (it’s art with functionality and problem solving, and the fun of communal suffering) But if you value your freedom + don’t want to think of finishing 15 drawings and a scale model every week. don’t. do. architecture.

Thank you so much for this! As a freshman in high school, who is just about to become a sophomore, I find this really helpful, it made me realize that I've been heading in the right direction, just not looking at the right goal. Within my high school, I plan to graduate with a diploma in graphic design. I won't lie and say "oh, art has always been my passion", there's just too many things that I enjoy doing and I never focused on anything other than school up until intermediate. I'm currently in a program that has me already technically working in the field of graphic design, and even selling those designs, and I found that I really enjoy it. I used to think I wanted to do game design, or I wanted to do concept or storyboard art, while I think it'd be fun, it just isn't realistic. Now, I've been selling my art at school, been making promotional art for friends' projects, and even just making personal art on the side. So even while I have it mostly figured out, this really helped me see that what I'm doing now is what I want to do. I feel like though I cut off a lot of things I used to enjoy (eg. baking, reading, writing short stories, videogames, watching shows, etc..), I feel like I've been productive and have been doing a lot regardless. As long as I remember what I'm doing this for. ^^

I started writing little snippets of stories back in elementary school during breaks in classes. Even though i want to someday become and astronaut its not something im that passionate about so ive started trying different things such as making those stories public on wattpad or making edits on KZbin and even trying out theater and singing. I know that when summer comes around and im off of school ill have a lot more time and motivation to finish what im working on. This video has helped me reenforce that thought that ill make it even better during those perfect times but continue during the hard times. Im trying loads of different thingd each year and even though its stressful sometimes its still worth it. To anyone who doesnt what to start on or anything then heres my advice; Choose something youre passionate of like art or singing. Take theater or chorusninnyour school or start recording videos of yourself trying it out. Maybe polish off those skills. If you go to a camp then open up and try things. Im not sure what ill do when im older but i know i have a lotof dreams. Astrology amazes me but i dont love it as much as before.

Fortunately for me, I found what I really loved doing at a very young age. But it wasn't enough. I want to emphasize the *importance of action* here. At age 12, I've dreamed of becoming a solo game developer, a career that requires a wide variety of skills. However, at that age, all I did was play video games, and I continued to for the next subsequent years. Now, I am age 17, and I have 6 months of game development experience using Unity. While I would say I'm a decent developer, imagine how much I could have done in those past years. 5 years is superior to 6 months. I would have had 10 times more experience. If only I had stopped consuming and started creating, who knows? I may have already released a monetizable game on Steam. But another point I would like to bring up is that it isn't too late. 17 years is still a very young age, and there are still other gamedevs and entrepreneurs who started in their 20s and still built a successful career out of it. Despite all those wasted years, I still consider myself lucky to open my eyes and realize that success doesn't come by itself, and that I gotta kick my ass off bed to actually get shit done.

Id say my other tip would be to choose a field youre interested in, in the sense that even if you get bored of the specific job you do at one point, you can pivot to a different role in that same industry and a lot of your skills cross over,, ie, singing, goes to songwriting, goes to mixing, goes to recording, goes to coaching an artist, goes to teaching voice lessons, goes to being a music teacher, goes to teaching or playing other instruments, goes to maybe even doing the management roles for music, or doing A&R, or composing, could even switch from audio editing to visual editing and go over into film or smth graphics related, or sound design and folly, etc,,, if the field is music, theres all the different ways you can pivot, so youre not stuck in the situation he mentioned at the start of the video with not having any overlap with the field you switch to

God, when I tell you how much this 5-second incident has caused me in life! Not only did I bring myself up to ask a question in class the first time, but she left me completely traumatised and embarrassed. I mean, it's not my mistake that I learn slower than others. Moreover, it was her JOB, and she refused to do it. And that's how I grew up never asking anything in class ever again. It literally has shaped me into the person I am today. That school was the worst. Everything about it was bad. To all the people who suffer from school trauma, I understand you, and you're not alone. I'm glad we've been able to cope with it so far, and we are SO strong for that. You are literally ahead of everyone because you dealt with the hard part before anyone, and that's what makes you strongest in society. Take this to your advantage, see it as a positive light.

Turning 18, one of the most important milestone in anyone's life, legally in India we start getting more value after 18 and the life starts not a kid anymore, changing to a man is totally unreal, will be having many responsibilities soon or later have to stay disciplined and keep on working until I achieve success. Thanks to Ruff for imprinting success habits in me.

As a Indian, True. Most Indian parents think that when their child has not passed 12th, they can’t or shouldn’t do anything on their own or try new things. Most parents only know the traditional jobs and not that there are many more opportunities than that. But at the end of the day, if you say that I can’t do this because of that, then you are just excusing yourself🙂

My problem is that I’m not a particularly ambitious person. I used to be super academically rigorous because I put all of my self worth on my academic success which destroyed me mentally and I broke. Now without that external motivation, I don’t have any drive to go out and be professionally successful at any particular thing. I’ve also grown up quite sheltered so I don’t have a lot of experience with the world or even some basic responsibilities. Not everyone can be the entrepreneur or content creator or surgeon, there needs to be regular worker bees too. The requirements for these jobs though keep rising and pay less while everything gets more expensive. I just want to make enough money to live comfortably while working a job that I don’t hate. I also want to try out different careers. One of my high school teachers said she followed a 7 year plan where she changed jobs every seven years. Again though, this becomes harder as prerequisites keep rising.

[@Tuxicho]

Going onto 16 this year and have been stalling my content creation dream for a decade. Started when I was 6 when I took a huge inspo on youtube and wanted to do things like that when I got older. Now that I'm at the age around where kids are starting to explore, I lacked confidence in starting content creation. "What if it's not good enough?" Or "I have time." After spending majority of my time learning how to edit videos and LOVING it. I love editing, I love creating videos, just to show my friends and family. It was always the nervous feeling that stopped me from fully going through with it and actually starting. All in all, seeing this video show up on my recommended is definitely a sign for me to move out of my comfort zone and try it to see if I do want to do this and if I'm going to like doing this when I'm older. So thank you 🖤.

[@MOLDYnHAM]

"You're in a season of learning, not a season of earning." That really hit because I really don't see how people view taking care of animals, like feeding them, making sure you give them necessities and not just cuddles and pats when you feel like it, as work. I'd happily take care of an animal with no pay. I'm not talking about, "Oh, I'll just give it pets and love," I mean actually taking care of it. I've been wanting to be a vet ever since I was 5, been putting in the work to be good at school, I've gotten into NJHS in middle school, I have pretty good grades. I'd say I'm a decently smart kid, I've been putting in the work for awhile, as well as dealing with school, and other things. I also draw a lot and paint every once in awhile and it really helps me unwind. So, even though I'm pretty young, I'll give you advice to put in the work and still do what you love, if something happens and you have to put your hobby aside for a few weeks, so be it. If you have a hobby that's small, and something you want to do for the rest of your life gets in the way, which one would you chose? Cause it's bound to happen, you may have to put your small hobby aside for a week or 2, maybe even a month. But you already know you're gonna pick it back up later. Don't lose sleep over it, cause eventually you'll get the hang of it.

[@Karma18_15]

I was always taught that if I don’t do something perfect then I failed, if I failed then I was a disappointment. That’s the mindset I had for years but I found things I love, I’ve always wanted to be a therapist because ever since I was a kid I would always be the person that anyone could go to, the person that will keep a secret and give you advice at the same time. I love helping people so that’s what I want to do, but I’m scared that if I fail then I would’ve lost years worth of my life and disappoint people because I made a mistake. Don’t have the mindset that I had, you should be like “oh I made a mistake hopefully I won’t do it again and I probably won’t because I’ve learned from my mistakes, either ways I’ll probably forget this happened today within a week or so” that’s the type of mindset you should have, not the one that I had.

[@fallenangles5105]

I just wanted to share my opinion about "adults" saying "You haven't picked out anything for your future while also worrying about whether you will actually pass your exams or not? wow, what a failure." For example, I was/am the most indecisive kid when it came to picking a career (like I wanted to own a zoo/ become a teacher/become a doctor and so much more) and now I settled on psychology while having lawyers in mind. This video partly confused me on whether I even want to continue psychology or not, because well, what if I lose interest in it? The tip he shared about trying it out, you can't really "test" out your psychology skills on ppl. In all honesty, I wanna feature on television and stuff, if not I want to pursue dance because it's just smth I love doing and will probably continue but I don't wanna do it just as a hobby. My family would mostly abandon me if I pursued dance- not that they are against me dancing, they want me to keep it up, but to learn it for family functions/ for competitions, pretty much just as a hobby. Another thing about where I am (and mostly everywhere) is that people usually pick jobs depending on how much pay they will get. That is a reason mostly everyone ends up working in nine-to-fives for a paycheck and not for them actually wanting to do a job. Even my tutor is quite encouraging about me picking psychology for the same reason. It may be an interesting subject, I may be a bright student or whatever but I always keep second-guessing what I wanna do and what I should be when I grow older, mostly because of factors like my family, my school and other things. Dancing would've been my first choice if I had an option to actually pick it, but because of not having proper support this will remain a dream for me. Figuring out what to do late is better than figuring out what to do too early. Yes, obviously I have the option of turning back from where I stand now or what I want to be but I do believe I am too late because I have already set my standard up at that level, and I also believe there is no turning back from here to backtrack overall, it's not just about out interest, it's also about external things like people we grow up around, the different types of people in our schools and teachers which make us take decisions of what we should be/do in the future, and frankly, nothing, and i mean NOTHING you learn in school besides basic math and language(that too only a few) will ever be useful in your future, so stressing about marks is only important in grade 9th and 11th, other than that just chill and figure out your life (and learn how to do taxes from an adult, bcz that shits important.) You don't need to pick a career when you are 9 years old and even if you do ddesn't mean your life is set just because you have a goal. Giving a fuck about other ppl's opinions is USELESS and you have time till 11th grade to pick what you wanna be. Try different stuff out, don't stick onto one singular thing, be creative, be experimental and just have fun in life and that's it. Whatever he said about trying out different stuff for a few months can be done and is really helpful in finding out what your interests might be, but honestly, it could be a little confusing for some kids about what they should pick in the future. His advice is helpful and extremely useful, but for subjects which can't be experimented, take advice from either elders who you can actually bear talking to or youtubers and remember, it is up to you what advice you want to take and not. ps: hope i made sense- (also i am in 10th, so do share your criticism)

[@memethornislowkeysad8987]

As some dude now going through CC, you absolutely do not need to have things figured out by 11th grade LOL schools like to say that, but it's mostly for the purpose of if you plan on going directly to a 4 year college 11th I wanted to be a psychologist, but as soon as I got out of that school and started talking to different people and taking a psych class, I realized that it's actually not super interesting to me, and I was almost using it as a "compromise" to the other people around me who expected me to go into art or writing, when really, I wanted to be a doctor since I can remember. It's easy to say "don't care about other people's opinions" until those other people are the ones you have to work and interact with daily, who you talk about college plans with and just because of how you look or present yourself, automatically assume you're incapable of certain things and laugh you out of the room if you suggest it. Though I will admit my situation is different from most, since my parents wanted me to go into the creative field or engineering and thought I was joking when I talked about med school. So y'know, as your environment changes, your plans are going to also. There's a lot of people I know who went straight into a 4 year college and changed their major wildly or even dropped out. So I'd say like the video says, try it, if you like it then stick with it, but don't hate yourself for changing your mind. What I would say to help you decide though is talk to people outside of school friends or family, look online, ask around about the daily workflow of a job and the kind of things you learn beforehand and see if you vibe with it even in a different setting.

[@fallenangles5105]

@@memethornislowkeysad8987tysm i appreciate it :] i will take these points in consideration

[@Yelagarar]

You make some really good points, I have a bit of a different opinion. I'm 13 so you can take my points from a younger person's perspective. I don't have that much experience so I can only say thoughts. For me this video helped shape my view on things and activities a lot. I remember when I wanted to become an artist/chef/engineer/business owner/ etc. just like you actually. I found cool ideas in all those jobs and might have thought about doing some of them. At some point though I was talking with my dad and I ended up choosing marine biology as a topic because it goes in line with what I said I wanted to do. Overtime, obviously tastes change. Now I'm thinking about getting into music because of my talents and yadi yada. I've been worrying slightly about this and this video made me realize that I actually haven't tried out many of the options I've been provided. Looking at your experience It looks like your family has high standards for you. Mine does too and they want me to become a business person even if that is something I barely want to touch. Which brings into your point that environmental conditions can affect what you may end up with. Obviously we can't get everything we dream. Things will fall down and rise again with your life. Sometimes a job option will not work out for you or you get rejected but that's just life. It's what makes it interesting instead of partying or doing what you want all the time. But that is also what makes it so important to just start too. He isn't exactly telling us at a young age to have our whole lives planned out. That's impossible. He isn't saying that at all actually (I think idk lol). Experimenting with working on these sort of jobs and gaining the experiences will help guide your choice in finding out what you wanna do. You will have a less impactful/risky/idk what word to say, experience of getting doors shut on you or finding out that you liked this idea at first but then realizing the repetition isn't bringing you fulfillment and that you only liked it as an idea. While even after that you might just end up with a whole different job, you at least have the experience of downsides in life that can happen. You just might have a stronger idea on a job you want to do. Oh shoot this is getting long and filly.. But yeah just, I don't think that we won't always get something and we can try some things and it will turn us down. I think those experiences are the things what will help us in our life having a goal of a job we wanna do or just find a bit more fulfillment in our lives. (But also the reason why school teaches you so much, just touching this point, is because it will help you when you pick and choose what specific things you wanna do. Some people will benefit off math and high calculations if they wanna get into a large scientificy field, or use the music programs, reading, writing, history, yadi yadadada. Its just all adds to the experience and sharpens your brain too) THATS ALL IM GONNA SAY SORRY ITS SO LONG OR IF I SAID ANYTHING WRONG.

This video was exactly what I needed because this was my current dilemma. I just got into a Memorial Early College where I get my associates degree before my highschool diploma. When they gave me the option to choose my elective I was dumbfounded. I never did sports, computer stuff, or fine arts didn't really speak out to me. Just the fun electives like choir, theatre, and human services for free food. Since I joined in late they had to narrow it down for me because I got generated into a tight schedule where I was only able to pick two electives. An AP digital or just cyber security. I thought this video was bull because I have watched a bunch like these, and I didn't want to watch another one, not because I don't like them, but because I have heard enough. I realize now that I will never have enough advice. Thank you for making this video. It was a mental eye opener and slap in the face.

This is a great video. As a 17 year old, the hard times aspect really hit me hard, especially since I was in a cloud of doubt regarding whether it was worth it to pursue interests to my best ability at a time where it was not that easy or wait till it gets better. I was always concerned that I was not accountable to myself but convinced myself otherwise sometimes. At least this video has helped me to an extent regarding taking accountability and initiative.

A very good video, and honestly, the lessons in this are applicable to more areas than just school and jobs.

and even if you try out something and you give up, and you come back to it later - it'll still be 50% easier than when you did it the first time. or if you give up and never come back to it, you'll still have learned so much useful stuff from it - about the skill, about yourself, your habits, or your talents. and if you feel like somethings not working and you want to take a break from it, but you're not sure if you should start doing it again because "its been so long", just do it. the thing you love doesnt care! no love, however brief, is wasted!!

Things will change for me in the future, I'm sure, but in the moment I know my interests and my determination are at a place I'm proud of, and I'm thankful I have the opportunity to pursue what I truly want to. To those of you that have responsibilities that are forcing you away from what you really want in life- just remember that in the end, it is your life. The burden is there, yes, but you must always be your own first priority, and if you're burning out, mentally suffering from doing something you hate, it is not worth it.

I feel like this is excellent advice. Even as someone who's already started university, I'm so glad I saw this. It has provided me with the validity I needed to hear to make the next move I've been wanting to take. I draw and animate for myself as a hobby and I adore it. I am definitely not the best at it but this video really helped put into perspective that I already excel at it in contrast to those who haven't begun. I've already started, and have been developing for years. Never had I stopped to consider that I'm not so stray off the path I now know I want to take. This hurdle I've been facing is that I've been pushed away from perusing it as a career by my parents, and now I need to take back control to keep advancing. Recently I challenged myself, I opened up to sharing my art via art trades. I've had more finished pieces and eyes on my art than I've ever had in less than a month and I still haven't found my limit. I spent my highschool years doubting, but now I know I am capable of taking commissions. After the trades I plan on doing that. And maybe, just maybe I'll have developed the guts to drop out and take some animation courses. It might fail, but at the end of the day it's okay because I learned more about something I love. I don't mean to sound ungrateful but, I'm willing to sacrifice a well paid STEM degree over something I see myself doing and enjoying. I just hope others who've been pushed away from their true aspirations find a way to keep nurturing them.

There is also the point of how someone is raised that comes into effect as most people in my community in a town full of Hispanics, Haitians or people of Creole descent that follow what their parents have done and they mainly go for jobs that are seen in the community such as construction workers, barbers, mechanics things like that. They use that as a way to understand what they want to do and find that passion for their future lessening the chance of them changing what they want to because they just didn't feel it was right.

Our society puts a lot of pressure on this sort of thing but there are tons of successful people who went farther in their 50s than people in the same field did in their 20s. Yeah, it's good to have an idea what you want to do at a young age, but it is by no means a prerequisite for success. Everything that you learn does you some good; even if you aren't actively using the contact learned, you are still developing important skills. So please don't feel bad for experiencing uncertainty. Just keep going :-)

Currently 16, there is a subject I really enjoy but despite that, I find myself getting rusty and fast, aka IT and coding, I still have to practice C++ for later on but, I've somehow lost the time to even do it as a hobby, despite doing everything in my power to keep things under control and, it simply falls apart. I have a friend over in Canada who's getting more practice than me, because they know Lua, which lets them basically exploit ppl who don't understand it, who think they'll exploit their skills, which ima just say, managing 100 USD per hour just bc some random assumes a project would take so long it'd end up being less than minimum wage bc of the set-price they made a deal on is insane to see in real time. Luckly my school still lets me get some experience as I've been enrolled into coding clubs among other things.
