Community College is not really a bad idea to start with. Especially in California now, your first two years are free. Any grants you receive from financial aid, the smart way is to save that for transferring. My opinion, Students shouldn't be going to a college out of town if their local colleges or college nearby offers the same program. Getting a degree here or there wouldn't make any difference. Can save you lots of money.

[@ShaneHummus]

I agree Kee.. Thanks for watching man!

[@alejandroelcid]

I agree with most of what was said. One big mistake that many do is to have a Home-School-Home mentality, where you are only at school only the necessary time (to attend their classes) and immediately leave campus as if a serial killer was on the loose. Talking to counselors talking to professors and to other more senior students helps create a network that will help solidify current plans or modify them for the better. Community colleges are great as there are many professors who either have Ph.D.s or have a lot of experience in their fields, with the added benefit that they are teaching there because they care more about teaching rather than doing research (universities pay more so there is a reason why they are there). At least in California, I am sure other states have this as well, community colleges have an active agreement with the state universities (in California with the University of California and the California State University systems) this means that the first two years of a bachelors can be done at a community college and later transfer to a university (at times with priority registration) starting your junior year of your undergraduate's degree. It greatly reduces the cost and the advantage is that the extra availability of the professors, not the TAs but the actual professors, allows for time to be scheduled during their office hours and they will gladly talk about their own experiences (academic and professional) and give you important tips. I would add as another tip is to keep an open mind. Rarely, does a college student end up with a degree they had originally started, many change their majors because once you are exposed to a wider variety of courses your interests will likely change and that is okay, I personally changed my major from biology to psychology; a part of it was that I could do my psychology B.A. locally and with my research experience I am ready for grad school and for better paying jobs (compared to those with an associates degree). Schools also receive grants for student employment, rather than working in a fast food place, for example, you can start working in the school, get to know the people there. It might not seem more beneficial than working anywhere else except that, again, it helps network and more importantly with people who are the first to know of student opportunities like: grants, scholarships, internships, assisting positions, opportunities that will add value to your skillset and your resume. Lastly, I want to point out that while it is true that for some jobs you do not need a degree it still helps. Something I learned from my fellow peers in community college is that if you have an associates, a bachelors, a masters, or a Ph.D., then your pay scale increases. For example, what many of my peers would do is they would start working in law enforcement (not necessarily police officers) and they would be given opportunities to continue going to classes. For government or military jobs, they use a pay scale (GS) to determine pay, which is based in part by work experience as well as by education degree. So these people who were are working to get their bachelors in criminal justice (some already have) will get a pay increase once they have a degree and they might also qualify for a promotion; off setting the cost of their degree. It is a long comment so I will summarize it. Always keep an open mind, most likely you will change your plans and that is fine, as long as it is for the right reasons. Be involved in the school and network, this allows you to learn more about your career interests or even new about new opportunities you didn't know your were interested in. And finally, look to the school for resources, either for jobs, grants, internships, etc., they are there to help and the biggest mistake many students make is not making good use of them.

I'm in tenth grade now and still haven't chosen what i want for college, and my family always tells me "You haven't chosen yet? You should already have. There are only a few years to college." I really feel pressured, i mean -- not to brag, but i'm kinda smart but i just don't like studying much. Not genius smart, but a bit smart. And there are things i want to try or is quite interested in but i don't want it to be the only thing in my life set in stone. I mean, there are lots of things out there and you just get to choose one? I don't have a dream, a talent not worth that much and the hobbies and the things i like/good at when i search what kind of jobs or college course i can go to there isn't much or doesn't make a lot of money. I really don't know what to choose, and i really love this channel really helped me a bit but i still haven't chosen a course, when i watch the first video recommended to me by this channel i immediately smash the subscribe button.

Community College is how I got an $80,000 degree for $20,000. Unless you're getting a full scholarship, going straight to 4 year college is pointless matter the school. Bachelor's degree from Harvard is in no way diminished if you did your first two years at a community college, except in terms of cost.

[@joeyGalileoHotto]

I highly agree with your premise about Community College. I transferred to a university, and am appalled by the lower quality of the courses there for lower division courses. I was lucky to have a Physics II class with 30 students, there they only have one Physics II course with 600 students.

[@ShaneHummus]

True

[@aswinprasad1011]

Good video as always Shane! I do think there are some bonus mistakes almost all freshmen make. 1) Not asking for help. Don't be afraid to ask a question in class. There is always at least one person that has the same question. Nobody is going to make fun of you for asking questions. 2) Don't brag about high school. Just don't. You will be the most hated person in class. 3) Never buy your books untill after you go to ALL your classes. Even if the professor sends an email a week before class telling you to get the book, DON'T BUY IT! Always wait until after the first week is over to buy your books.

[@ShaneHummus]

That's a good input Aswin. Thanks for adding that

[@aswinprasad1011]

@Leonine Lee you're not stupid. It's a fair question. Every syllabus will say "required texts" but most of the time, it's not true. The first day of class, the professor will let you know if you actually need it or not. If they say "it's required" get the book, if they say "it's recommended" I would say skip buying it.

[@faithlesshound5621]

Point 3: you run the risk of finding the book is sold out and you have to wait until it's reprinted, or queue for a library copy. Reading the bare minimum, you may scrape through but won't get an "A."

[@matouskrizek1668]

To point 3) - if you want to get an A, find all recommended books ASAP, check them, and if you find out they can give you something, buy them, read them and keep them until you no longer need them, no matter if they are mandatory or not.

[@isabellamokaya6585]

I agree with everything except the first one. I'm a Psychology major, just for context. My program is under the School of Science at my university, and we are taught Research and Statistical methods. Research is the core of what we are taught as Psychology majors. Along with problem-solving and critical thinking, it's not a useless major. I would argue every major is a useless degree without any of the other nine mentioned on the list (that goes for Computer Science too). It's the internships and volunteer experiences that make or break receiving your first job. College degrees are not the ticket to getting a job. They're a supplement to the real-world experience you spend time on while you're in college.

[@khbks1109]

My advice. Get a double degree one in an area you love and the other in an area you can tolerate and it can support you financially. That’s what I’m doing as I love cognitive neuroscience but at my age I need to also accrue for my social security. So I ended combining B.A in cognitive neuroscience with BSN nursing and a minor in music. So far I’m going to be done in another 2 more years and just finished my 2 first ones. :)

[@spencerrr9878]

If you want an internship before your summer between junior and senior year you need to be a prodigy and/or already have had prior internships

[@hj2479]

@@spencerrr9878 I got my first internship the summer before my first year in college. Different time of course but it is really all about dedication and how you carry yourself.

[@hj2479]

Be frank with the employers, let them know what your background is and what your experiences and strengths are. Create a portfolio of your previous work in the field or relating fields. Let them know you are hard working and really want to learn on the "job" but are also willing to put in the extra hours out of the internship to build your skills. Make sure that you apply to internships that are willing to work with students and help them grow a bit but also don't be afraid to apply ambitiously. The worst that can happen is that your goals and their goals don't match up so you don't get the position, then start over and try again for another position. Most positions have interviews and that is really your time to shine, to show them that you are dedicated and ready but also make it clear that you really want to learn from this experience, practice before hand and get help from others if you have to. You are bound to get some rejections, even more so in the more competitive paid positions but don't let that hold you back. My son got rejected from 20+ intern jobs back when he was in 10th grade, they wanted college students but he didn't give up and someone noticed that work ethic and dedication which is how he got his first paid full stack development intern position at a mid sized company (they did pay him a third of the other experienced interns but that was still a win in his case.) You may be young but that isn't always a bad thing, don't put yourself down or undervalue yourself and turn your young age into a plus, recruiters usually love that as long as you can walk the walk. Look where others don't when looking for internships because less competition isn't a bad thing. Last of all, in the long term, network constantly unless it is not the proper circumstance to do so. Networking in my experience gets you farther than most other things in life, people will almost always go with the option they know whether it be directly or through a connection, and you never know who someone might know so be wary to never burn the wrong bridges because they are easier burn than to build.

[@faithlesshound5621]

Just to extend the advice to do internships to get an idea of future careers plus a foot in the door, if you are studying a laboratory science it's important to get as much research experience as you can, as an intern or research assistant, and if at all possible publish or at least present some of your work. That makes it easier to get funding for a master's degree. I don't know if it matters so much in the social sciences.

People were making fun of them but guess whos gonna have the last laugh? definitely not the kids in over 100 thousands of student loans with 8.9 interest rate. Seriously unless you really know what you are gonna do in the future rethink your options and make sure college is the last.

Here in Ontario they make us take a career class during high school. It’s supposed to make us consider a future career and how to get there. It’s success it debatable however.

[@ShaneHummus]

That sounds like a good approach

I am going to disagree on the criminal justice one, most police departments now a days require either a degree or military service. All federal law enforcement requires at minimum of a bachelors. While I would agree it might be better to get something other than crj as a good fall back, many law enforcement people have criminal justice degrees. I would recommend STEM as the three letters love it however I’ve met plenty of federal agents either criminal justice degrees.

[@ShaneHummus]

I respect your opinion on this Jake. Cheers!

I want to take a gap year so I know if I even want to go to college or not, but my mom is forcing me to go.

Good luck MaryClaire

[@user-vm4he3gk3c]

I’m a senior I’m highschool and I think I want to major in accounting or finance and minor in criminal justice. Which do you think is the better option between Accounting and Finance and which would be most beneficial when getting a job ??? I like to talk to people so I want that to be a part of my career as well !

This is like a nice mini-lecture! What to not do during college! Ah, if only I knew what to do for the clubs and all, I still haven't figured out where the physics and math clubs are. Darn. I have to remember who to ask, too.

[@ShaneHummus]

Haha good luck on that Jessica.. Cheers!

Ooops! I reached 34 years and that's when I started investing. The investing apps are very recent. For example, Robinhood came out around 2017. I remember I tried investing in 2015 with E-trade, I opened an account with $200.00 but I needed $5000 to start investing. That's what I wanted to point it out. Yes, I strongly agree that High Schools should teach its students financial skills, trade skills, etc.

[@ShaneHummus]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this Cesar

[@shaptastic25]

This is a lot to ask from an 18 year old. Community college is so underrated 🤨

[@noname8354]

But what if we legit don't know what we want to do? I have an idea, but idk if it'll change. I'm pretty sure I want to do something in science, but I'm not exactly sure. I've just found that I'm bad at it. I get the material until the tests, then my mind goes blank.

What do Electrical engineers actually do & are how do o knw which type of Electrical engineering i shld go for??

[@ShaneHummus]

I might discuss that so stay tuned

[@ColeDockter]

M.E. here. From what I've seen, EE will be making/designing the "electronic" component in electronics. Circuit boards, etc. Take your phone apart, everything inside, that's EE, or at least a piece of it. If you enjoy working with electronics, it might be a good field for you!

[@larrybermudez3181]

Cole Dockter what do you do as an M.E im a junior in high school and im interested in E.E or Mechanical Engineering but don’t know how to choose which one

[@GTA1395]

Hello G3mini kid, I am a practicing electrical engineer so I think I can help answer your question! Electrical Engineers can do a lot of things, however, what I specialize in is analog and digital electronics design. I design high level system block diagrams, design schematics with the said analog and digital electronics, and then layout PCBs. I also program software and firmware often for my own PCBs I design. I actually have two Bachelor degrees, one in Electrical Engineering and one in Computer Engineering. Currently pursuing my Master’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering as I work full time! Being interdisciplinary, with it being either software, hardware, or even mechanical engineering, is a huge resume booster! To answer your second question, most of the time your Bachelor’s degree will read as a generic, “Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering”. Try to get this degree as it gives you an overview of the majority of the discipline and opens many doors. If you are in the USA, ENSURE the degree is ABET accredited. Reach out if you have anymore questions! If anyone else does, just comment below. 😁

Could you make a video about your major? And would you pick another if you could go back to those day when you chose it? (Not sure you did it, correct me if i'm wrong.😅)

I’m sooo glad I watched this and you went over criminal justice I definitely don’t want to be a police officer I think the subject is interesting which is why I’m going to minor in it ! I want to major in something that will give me the most knowledge and help me stand out which is why I’m deciding between Accounting and Finance? Which class is more difficult? Which is beneficial in the long run ? Any suggestions ??

Your COMMUNITY COLLEGE 👑 is HERE. Ahh I love YOU FOREVER for this video! It is all true! Any advice for Covid jobs? I really am trying. I am going into cyber security which is what my degree is but the issue is nobody wants to hire me because I do not have experience. Well your asking for 3 years or 1 year of experience how do I get this if nobody would even allow me to try? I tried apple and even the geek squad said bye bye lol The tech industry is so hard to break the ice. I am looking for a job but everyone is either not hiring or Covid got them. Please send me all of your advice! Your the BEST SHANE!!! Ooo and yes I am studying for a cert and it’s soooo much info!

[@ShaneHummus]

Great video idea, there is so much uncertainty right now because of covid. Think outside of the box. Make personalized messages to hiring managers, maybe record a video to send to them since there are no in person career fairs etc

[@deemahamed5202]

Shane Hummus - The Success GPS I have been calling them and getting interviews and they just feel like I have no experience and my resume does not look good because it is not consistent.
