What's happening guys? It's Shane here. So we did it. We hit a hundred K subscribers I didn't post the video very fast because I was doing my 30-day challenge. Sorry about that I thought I would get it out faster, but I got super busy But today we are gonna be doing a Q&A and you guys left some amazing questions And by the way, I'm guessing this is probably the first video as long as I get it up on time In the new set. Let me know how you guys like it. It's not totally done yet Yeah, I'm still gonna be doing some of the videos where my backs against the wall and it's just like, you know Great paper you guys seem to like those but I kind of wanted to mix it up a little bit and just have like a unique set So let me know if you guys like it and if you have any suggestions on what I should do with it But anyways, thank you guys so much for a hundred K subscribers It has been an awesome journey 2020 has been super tough But this was definitely the best part about 2020 is just being able to post these videos help you guys out and Grow the channel. I don't want to get all mushy with it or anything like that But I really do appreciate the support. Thank you guys so much. It means a lot to me. Yeah, so Anyways, let's jump right into it. I won't be able to respond to all of the comments So basically the people who commented, you know relatively quickly after I posted it And then the ones that got a lot of upvotes, those are the ones that I'm gonna be responding to the last video just went on way too long So I'm gonna try to keep this one a little shorter. Alright, so Eric says wish I found you five years ago, but after getting a degree in job market that does not pay very well What are some jobs that pay well that a person with a nutrition science degree could apply for? Oh man, that's a really tough one that would require an entire video on its own But you know basically just think about the things that you enjoy doing think about the things that you're passionate about Why did you go for nutrition science in the first place? There's probably some careers out there that are gonna align with that Maybe you need to go back to school get into health care for instance If that's kind of more of the reason that you got into it in the first place But there are a lot of careers out there that basically just require you to have a college degree And it doesn't really matter which one you got you might want to look into government jobs for instance But yeah, that's a that's a tough question to answer without any further information Alex says should I destroy or tap the like button choose wisely well Alex There's basically two different schools of thought on this a lot of people think that you should absolutely just demolish just Destroy the like button every single time you see it I would say that the majority of youtubers are on that side of thinking and then there's a small minority of people Which I'm on the side of which think that you should kind of gently tap the like button or caress it just very be gentle with it You know it just gets destroyed all the time its entire existence It's been getting just demolished and I'm more of a pacifist and I think that you should just be more gentle with it And yeah, that's that's my way of thinking but whatever side you're on I think that you should definitely click the like button on every video especially my videos because it really helps out with the algorithm James says what famous people have you met so far?  It was excess and I was walking in the door Like after you get past the the security guard and everything and you're actually going into the club And there was somebody just standing in the doorway like this Okay, they're standing there like this. I how do I even do it? Like with their legs spread apart and like this Looking at everybody in the club And it just seemed like a little overly dramatic and it made me pause for a moment and I'm like who the heck is that? and also I was trying to go through the door and they were in the way and this person was really tall and they were blonde and When they turned and when I went past them, I noticed that it was Logan Paul. So I Did step right past Logan Paul. So I guess that's the most famous person I met So I don't know if he counts as a famous person or not. He's YouTube famous I don't remember says when do we get more story times? Have you made or will you make history videos because you love history? So more story times are definitely on the way I've got some great stories, especially the Las Vegas stories I think I'm gonna have to call that the Las Vegas Chronicles because they're I mean that is just a really interesting city Lot of lot of crazy stuff happens in Las Vegas Before Las Vegas I lived in Kansas where pretty much nothing ever happens and then I moved there and it's just like There's something to do all the time. So it was definitely an interesting time in my life History videos so the way the YouTube algorithm works is if I just started randomly making history videos 99% of my audience would not be interested in them and they just wouldn't promote them So when you get big enough on YouTube, you can make pretty much any type of video and it doesn't matter You know you see Jenna Marbles sometimes and she'll make videos like my dog pooped And it's just a picture of the dog or something like that or walking my dog, right and they get 10 million views So when you get big enough on YouTube, it really doesn't matter But at this point, I'm basically, you know, you guys probably think I'm like, oh, I'm a big youtuber now hundred thousand I'm basically like a tadpole. Maybe a minnow. Yeah, let's let's go with that. Maybe maybe a krill Okay I'm a I'm still very small fish on YouTube So the algorithm would not be kind to me if I posted videos about history But I do try to integrate history into my videos sometimes I try to use analogies to history and that sort of thing So and I'm gonna try to do that more in the future as well sliny 24. Can you include time stamps? I'm sure many people would agree. Yeah, okay, so I'm probably gonna start doing time stamps here pretty soon I just didn't I don't have time to do them on 30-day challenges and stuff And to be honest, I kind of burned myself out a little bit working too hard on this channel So I am probably gonna take a little break towards the beginning of the year But when I come back, I'm probably going to start doing time stamps here pretty soon Okay, so I might even integrate them into the video where I put them at the beginning because I've seen a few youtubers do that So yes, I'll be doing time stamps soon. Thank you Nicholas asks, which career would you pursue now if you already had a billion dollars saved and could do whatever you want to? That's a really tough question Nicholas, I would probably be doing something like what I'm doing right now actually I really like healthcare for one and I also like making videos. I like, you know, film, filmography So I'd be doing something very similar. I would probably be doing more on the side of Filmography though. So maybe a director, I guess. I would kind of like to make documentaries someday I know that's really ironic because I still barely know how to use the camera for the longest time I didn't know at all how to use the camera and I was just really bad at it So I know that's a little bit ironic, but I I like making videos for the longest time I mostly just like watching movies and watching documentaries and Films and different shows and stuff, but then eventually I actually got into the movie making process And I'm I'm really enjoying that as well. So yeah, I'll go with that Zabachi asks I think that we can all agree that the American public education system is severely flawed If you had the ability to reform it what type of policies would you enact? So I'm assuming you're talking about the college degree system not the You know under like high school and all that sort of thing I'm assuming you're talking about that since my channel is about college degrees mostly and careers So yeah, I would agree. It's it is severely flawed you know, there's colleges that in their endowment they have enough money to Pay their employees and pay the tuition of all of the students for nearly a hundred years, right? So they've got enough money in their endowment from what they're charging people to go to colleges to pay their employees and operate and pay the tuition of the students for about a hundred years, right? So it's just totally getting out of control these prices that colleges are charging And you know, I've talked about that a lot and other videos. It's it's ridiculous at this point I don't know exactly how to fix it. I have heard several theories I'll probably end up making a video on a couple of the different theories that I think are pretty good But you know, one of them would be what's known as an ISA ISA stands for an income share agreement and essentially without going into too many details It's a way for the university to have some skin in the game So right now as a student if you go to university and you take out loans You are basically taking on all of the risk if things don't turn out well for you You still have to pay back those loans and in many cases you can't declare bankruptcy like you can with other types of loans So you are taking on a huge amount of risk and the college is essentially taking on like zero risk, right? And they're getting fabulously rich from it because it's basically like a business at this point So what an ISA does is it's basically an agreement between you and the college that if you aren't Successful with a degree that you get if you aren't able to get a job in that particular field for instance Then you don't have to pay them back until you're able to get a job in that particular Subject that you're studying and then once you get a job in that subject Then you have to pay a certain percentage of whatever you're making every month So it's kind of a win-win situation and it incentivizes colleges to make sure that you have the skills as Well as the help and the infrastructure for you to get a job after you graduate and whatever you're trying to study So it does sound really good at least in theory There's a couple other solutions out there that I'll probably end up making a video about That would probably be quite a bit better than what we're doing right now. Not a lot of colleges offer ISAs at this point. It's pretty rare But you know, maybe it would be something that would be more standard in the future People should maybe just only go to the colleges that offer those for instance But yeah, there's also some other solutions that people have talked about You know, I don't know how to solve the problem. It's a big problem I'm not a hundred percent sure how it can be solved But I think there are some things that we can discuss and figure out a way forward see a prezad Do you regret your masters in PhD? I got a farm D. So it's not technically a PhD If you could go back in time, would you do it all over again? No, I don't regret getting it I regret some of the choices that I made in college, of course, which I've already talked about in videos Some of the things I did I definitely made some mistakes when I was going to college But I definitely do not regret getting it. I think it was a good decision for me specifically But that's just because I made sure to do my due diligence And I made sure that it was something that matches my personality really well it's a lot of people that go into it for the wrong reason and It doesn't match them well and they end up miserable. So I personally think it was a great decision for me But you know, that doesn't mean that everybody should go for it. A lot of people asked me in the comments Oh, you went for this. I'm gonna do that as well. Please do not copy me. Please do not copy me. Everybody's different That's almost like saying because of the fact that my favorite ice cream is cherry Garcia Everybody else should like get cherry Garcia. That should be everybody's favorite ice cream. No, absolutely not Everybody's a little bit different and your situations are gonna be different. So make sure that you You know do your due diligence and I've made other videos on how you can do this contact people Figure out what your strengths and weaknesses are figure out what you enjoy doing Figure out what needs are out there in the market supply and demand and then make a plan and Contact people in the careers that you're looking into ask them key questions and figure out if it's the right career for you Misanonymous, can you please do more story times? Yeah, I get this a lot people really like my story times apparently so Yeah, I will do more story times I'm also gonna try to just integrate more stories in general into my videos Just because I think they are a lot more entertaining when I do that as well How much free time does being a pharmacist give you to where you can research and post videos so quickly?  It has gotten a little bit You know hectic here in 2020 as you can imagine I've actually, you know gotten a lot more offers to work extra shifts and stuff if I wanted to I could probably work like 70 hours a week, but yeah in terms of researching and posting videos you've just basically got to Create a system you need to be organized Create a system and just make time for the things that are most important I'd say that's the most important thing is figuring out in business. They call this KPI key performance indicators Figure out what matters and then mostly just focus on doing that Okay, so a lot of the people when they try to start a YouTube channel, they're just gonna do all this research on you Oh, what's the best this what's the best that all this research? The best way to start a YouTube channel and post videos is to start posting videos Even if you just have a you know, just a laptop or a cell phone or even if you don't have a laptop or a cell phone Go to the local library and and take a video Just the computer my very first video was just me recording a computer screen It was me recording a computer screen at the local library playing RuneScape. Okay, that was my first video ever This was a while back. Okay, but I was recording my computer screen playing RuneScape That was my first ever video that I uploaded to YouTube. Okay, so The most important thing is this you should just start Doing videos.  Which are your favorite? Yeah, I watch it a little bit. I'm not like super into it Um dragon ball z come on, you know dragon ball z is the best. So yeah, I like I like dragon ball z Florent asks, what was your major in college? So I got a farm d. I got a degree doctorate of pharmacy Um, that that's what I did in college. I did the pre pharmacy track. So An undergrad I did the accelerated route where I don't actually get a bachelor degree specifically I did the pre pharmacy track where I just take enough classes to get approved to pharmacy school And then I went to an accelerated pharmacy program So I was able to get my entire degree done, which usually takes around eight years I was able to do it in around five years and nine months or so All things being equal quintin asks, how uh, will the future Salary of a computer science major differentiate than what it is currently will it raise or decline? Congrats bro. You helped me a lot. Thank you quintin. Appreciate that. Uh, so Nobody knows for sure. Um, the future is uncertain, especially I mean 2020 came along Who could have predicted this was going to happen? Uh, so nobody knows for sure, but Technology industry in general is just going to get bigger and bigger and bigger. There's no stopping it The tech industry was doing amazing before all this happened and they're doing even better now Okay, so there's no stopping it ai's coming Um, automation in general Streamlining of processes all of these things require technology Software hardware all kinds of different technology related fields. I think they're going to do great So computer science even if you don't end up working as a coder You're probably going to get into the tech industry and do something there that is going to be, you know A skill that not very many people have and there's tons of demand for it. So I computer science is a great one in my opinion, but who knows? I mean things could happen in the future. Nobody really knows for sure But I think it's relatively safe. Emma asks opinions on an actual how meaningful and enjoyable it is Actual I think you mean actuary on that possibly you can check out my Actuary video that I made welcome to my world says what do you think students need to focus on right now? And school is not teaching those skills. Thank you and congratulations for 100k. Thank you so much Uh, so it kind of depends on what part of school you mean If you're talking about like uh middle school high school that sort of thing I think that they should teach just basic personal finance skills I mean they teach us all this stuff that we never use after high school. I mean, there's some stuff I learned I've literally not once in my entire lifetime. Have I ever used it? And uh, you know, this is somebody who went to higher education got a doctorate and I still didn't use most of these things That they taught me or a lot of them anyways Whereas everybody is going to be paying taxes making a budget balancing books all that sort of thing These are skills that everybody could use. They're just really practical skills And uh, they aren't taught in most high schools and middle schools for whatever reason And so you guys end up watching channels like my channel in order to learn them Probably after you've made a few mistakes along the way and you know Those mistakes could have been avoided if it was just taught in high school Super wool phoenix says will you ever become a full-time youtuber? So my answer to that's kind of complicated. Uh, I think there's a lot of advantages of having just a normal job There's a lot of things you don't really have to worry about when you own your own business Which youtube is a business you have to wear a lot of different hats There's just so many things you have to worry about things go wrong all the time I spend pretty much most of my time on youtube just solving problems Whereas with a normal like nine to five job I really wouldn't have to worry about any of that and I just get to enjoy my off time. So There's a good chance that I will eventually Quit my nine to five job just because of the fact that it doesn't make sense for me to continue working in that When you can just make a lot more money with your own business and you can actually scale your business So with a normal job, but maybe if you do an amazing job You might get a five percent raise at the end of the year Maybe a bonus or something like that But with a business you can make a hundred percent more the next year and then the next year after that you can Make a hundred percent more right so you can scale a business Whereas you can't really scale a normal nine to five job So there's positives and negatives to each of them But yes, I likely will Eventually quit my nine to five job in order to do youtube full time or just business in general full time Do you guys want me to do youtube full time? Because I would be able to make a lot more content and the content would be better if I did So let me know down in the comments below if you want me to Jansen asks what other languages can you speak or currently learning? So unfortunately I can only speak American. Okay, I don't even speak English. Okay I speak a dialect of English known as American and I'm always extremely impressed by people who know multiple languages And unfortunately, I just know English. I think it would be cool to learn Spanish or maybe like russian or something like that I think those are two languages that uh would be cool to learn. Um, and then also uh useful as well Potentially in the future. So I do want to learn at least one other language in my lifetime. So, um, you know Yeah, it's kind of a thing with Americans a lot of Americans don't know other languages And again, I think that's uh a bad thing because I meet people from other countries and they're like, oh, I know three languages Oh, I know, you know, two and a half four languages. I'm like, wow It's super impressive. And then I'm just here speaking like half of one language miss echelon What is your dream job not considering education requirements or salary? I think that I would just really enjoy making videos. So I guess my dream job would be a Documentary director. So maybe someday I'll move towards becoming a documentary director But to be honest with you, I'm very very happy with what I'm doing right now I don't feel like a lot of pressure to to do that. I'm super happy with what I'm doing now It's like nine out of 10. I guess and uh Documentary director would be 10 out of 10 or 9.5 out of 10. I don't know something like that. So Yeah, maybe someday director or I guess you could say just filmmaker because a lot of the time in documentaries You're the only one talking. You're not really directing other people. You're just interviewing people So I guess filmmaker Maria says congratulations on your 100k subs. Thank you Maria. Appreciate that What are the best online degrees for teaching any tips for someone who'd like to pursue a career in early education? Question mark love your videos. They always make me laugh So I did make a video about what I think about online degrees and this video came out a few months before You know everything in the world that happened in 2020 now Obviously pretty much all degrees at this point are online even brick and mortar schools are doing everything through zoom So things have changed since I made that video And I've realized that whether I like it or not. I was somewhat pessimistic or negative about online degrees because there are a lot of In my opinion bad Apples out there for online schools. I'm not going to say scams, but very close to being scams So I was a little bit negative about them. I did offer a few alternatives for uh online degrees If you're in a situation where that's all you can do you can only do an online degree Like for instance your job is offering to pay for your degree And of course you can only do it online because you can't move anywhere There are certain online universities that have a much better reputation than others So I'll probably end up doing another video on that and in terms of what degree you're going to get It really depends on what you want to teach people. So let's say you want to teach math You probably want to get like a mathematics degree or something along those lines Getting just a peer education degree and I've talked about this in videos Is not the best idea just because of the fact that you don't need to have a degree in education in order to become a teacher You can get into teaching with all kinds of different degrees Then you just have to get like a certification of some sort So it really depends on what subject you're wanting to teach Again, you want to plan ahead and make sure that you do your due diligence there Caesar says I have seen that you put anime references in your videos. Can you expand upon that? Yes, Caesar. I've probably put over 9 000 anime references in my videos up to this point flight experience My dream passion is to become a pilot, but at the same time I love computer science So do you recommend getting a computer science degree first then become a pilot? Congratulations, by the way. Thank you. Appreciate that. So I have a lot of pilots in my family My dad was a pilot for a while. So I do know a little bit about this subject Depending on what company you're working for some of them are going to want you to have like a college degree before you get into it There's different training for different types of flying A lot of people get into it after leaving the military So they get their training on how to fly in the military and then they become pilots after that for instance So there's a lot of different lanes that you can go into in order to become a pilot Different companies are going to have different standards as well I would say if that's your passion, you should probably just go for it And if you're passionate about computer science, that's a great option as well. So either of those are great It seems from your avatar like flight experience Flying is your true passion. So I would probably just become a pilot it. I mean, that's just that's just my opinion Just based off of what you've told me there. Seb asks, uh, where did you grow up? I'd also like to know your music taste. So I kind of grew up all over the place I was born in California lived a lot of time in Nevada and actually moved back and forth a few times I lived a lot of my life in Kansas as well My dad kind of moved around for different jobs I lived in Oklahoma for a short period of time in terms of my music taste I pretty much listened to everything most of the time these days I only listen to music when I'm working out. Uh, but yeah, I pretty much listen to everything Um, it just depends on what moon I'm in Emma says, I feel like we know you but not enough Could you talk more about your personal life like your political beliefs? If you are dating somebody hobbies, etc Yeah, so a lot of people have said that I should open up a little bit more about myself and my videos and stuff like that And I think that's kind of a good idea. I'm naturally kind of introverted I don't really like talking about myself mostly just like talking about whatever subject That the video is about but I'm definitely gonna Try to do that more in the future in my videos for sure Big g asks career path you would suggest for a 30 year old that is such an open-ended question big g Uh, I know nothing about you. That's like again saying what ice cream would you suggest? Like everybody has their favorite flavor of ice cream, right? So your favorite flavor is going to be different than my favorite flavor, right? So, uh, there's just so many different career paths out there It depends on what you like what you're good at What your passions are and all kinds of other different factors You can check out some of my videos I've made on this how to choose the perfect degree for you How to choose the perfect career? I talk about how you can go about figuring these things out Haisha says how do you manage your pharmacy job and youtube at the same time? So basically, uh, just organization and Making sure that you only focus on the things that are most important I think I might go into more detail on that in the future and talk about more of the behind the scenes stuff when it comes to Making youtube videos. I do have a pretty cool system down. I'm a little bit proud of it Uh, it's it's just like a system where I figure out what people want me to make videos on And I'm able to make those videos, uh, pretty efficiently and quickly as well Francisco says congrats on 100k. What's your biggest regret from a financial standpoint? That is a really tough question to ask Oh, man, that's I mean a really tough question to answer. I should say I think that everybody makes mistakes and you shouldn't necessarily regret those mistakes because they're all learning experiences But with that being said, I would say my biggest mistakes have been not taking more risk. Actually, I'm pretty risk averse And uh, I kind of just didn't think that I had enough Confidence in myself to, you know, start my own business and be successful with that And so I kind of just didn't do it for a long time or I would make excuses Or I would start it, but I would only just half-heartedly do it And um, so I think I was a little bit too risk averse in many cases and I should have just You know, instead of thinking about it, I should have just done it just jumped into it And learned along the way. Uh, Aaluwagbago asks, what's your undergraduate degree in? Sorry if I butchered your name Also, if you were to go back in time to your college days, would you be an engineering computer science physics or a major that is different from your undergrad degree? So my undergraduate degree, I didn't actually get a bachelor's instead I did the fast track because I knew exactly what I wanted to do And so I just did the pre-pharmacy track and I was able to graduate early graduate and then go to Pharmacy school and then I also went to a pharmacy school and did the fast track there as well So I went to an accelerated program So uh all in all I was able to get my doctorate in around five years and nine months five years and ten months Somewhere around there whereas usually it takes around eight years. So uh really worked out for me for my specific situation um, but you know, uh If I were to go back, I would I would have done the exact same thing basically I wouldn't have gotten an undergrad degree. I would I would have done the fast track But that's only because I knew exactly what I was getting myself into I'd done tons of research and I made sure that this was the exact career that I wanted to get into And I did that at a relatively early age as well So if you're asking me what major I would pick other than the one I did So if I couldn't do what I did before and I had to pick a major I would probably go back and do computer science. Um, I really regret not learning more about coding And that sort of thing and I actually had a really cool project planned on this channel It didn't work out because of all the stuff that happened in 2020, but I had a really cool project planned that would have involved me learning Some python and then uh, I can't really give any more details But a really cool project plan that was around learning about coding on this channel And hopefully I'll be able to do that one uh early next year. Um, and I'm really excited about it whenever I'm going to be able to do it It's going to be awesome. Arjan asks is business analytics a good degree both on an undergrad and graduate level Congrats on getting 100k subs. You earned it. Thank you Arjan. I appreciate that So business analytics or also known as business analysis Sometimes quantitative business analysis and undergrad That is definitely a good undergraduate degree in terms of getting a graduate degree It really depends on what career path you're going down. So This is the thing about getting graduate degrees and it's why I suggest that people kind of Secure the bag so to speak with their undergrad degree unless they know Exactly what they're doing, right? So if you've got a great plan and you're 100 sure you know exactly what you're doing That's awesome. You know get your masters or your doctorate If that's what you're going for and you know you need to get that in order to get into the career But if otherwise, I would say just get the bachelor's degree Make sure that you can get a job with just your bachelor's degree and then At that point once you get that then you'll have the option of getting a master's Going back to school or starting your career. You've got that option And that's the key point is it's a choice for you It's an option for you not something that you have to do Because so many people find themselves in a situation where they get a degree And then they have to go back to school and get a master's or a doctor in order to get a job And we've already talked about how expensive that can be Malavika asks why did you choose to pursue a career in a farm?  So I had some very specific reasons why I went into pharmacy and I've talked about them in other videos One of the main reasons why I decided to go into pharmacy is because my dad had some really serious health issues when I was young So he ended up having a couple different strokes when I was very young and before that I was sort of a little bit of a hippie. I guess because both of my parents are kind of hippies I guess, you know, they believe in like natural medicine, especially my mom Really into like herbal medicine, natural medicine, not taking medications and all that sort of thing So I guess you could say I was kind of anti medication When I was younger and then and I'm still somewhat anti medication. I think there's some they're totally over prescribed but Basically what happened is it was a situation where If this medication didn't exist my dad would be dead 100 percent And because of the fact that this medication exists my dad got to live an extra 10 15 years He's still alive right now. So that's amazing. I mean, that's basically a miracle That's an extra 10 or 15 years of life that he wouldn't have gotten to live if it wasn't for the existence of this medication I mean, that is just totally black and white to me It was amazing and when I realized that it started me Off on a path of just being fascinated with pharmacology in general and how this works You know how the drug interacts with the body how the body interacts with the drug So that's kind of how I started off getting interested in Pharmacy and I guess medical careers in general But specifically pharmacy and so that's that's kind of a shortened version. But Basically, I decided that it was the right career for me. I really did my due diligence I talked to people I did tons of research and I knew it was the right career for me And so I went for it and no, I don't regret it I think a lot of people do regret going into pharmacy for Certain reasons because a lot of the time they go into it because their parents told them to Or they go into it because it makes a lot of money and that's the only reason they're getting into it But for me, that was never my reason. Of course, the money is really nice You do make quite a bit of money as a pharmacist. It's it's a well-paying job But that was never my main reason for getting into it. Isabel says what career would you recommend if I don't know what career fits me Basically, isabel, uh, that is a super open-ended Question I would need a lot more information again.  Thanks for the videos and congrats on 100k So, um, I get questions like this quite a bit I think what i'm going to end up doing is Making a separate channel like a second channel where I answer questions like that Make videos about that because if I posted a video about that on this channel, it's it would just flop Okay, I I know how the youtube algorithm works Only a small percentage of you guys are interested in hearing about that And so I'll probably end up making a second channel where I talk about stuff like that For people who are really interested in it because it just simply would not do very well if I posted it on this channel because It's very specific and um, you know, not very many people would be interested in it Welcome to my world says what do you think students need to focus on right now in school is not teaching those skills? Thank you and congratulations for 100k. So basically, uh, You know middle school high school personal finance skills very important There's a lot more but yeah personal finance skills would be extremely important to learn And then in terms of college, uh, just focus more on the actual skills that you're going to be Needing when you start working. So focus more on getting real life work experience I think they should be doing a lot more internships and that sort of thing because there's a lot of things that you learn that are Some of them are tangible like like hard skills But there's also a lot of soft skills and just Intangible skills that you learn when you get real work experience, right? So getting a job doing internships that sort of thing very very important when it comes to college David asks what does a day in the life as a pharmacist youtuber look like for you? And how has it changed throughout quarantine? What are some ideas that uh, you have for the future direction of your channel? David, you asked the best questions, man. You really do. Thank you for all your great questions. Appreciate you. So, um, day in the life Uh video for a pharmacist slash youtuber pretty boring right now 2020 Um, I just pretty much just like worked the whole time relatively boring Maybe after all this stuff is overall do like a day in the life type video Uh, and like maybe post it on my other channel or something like that Which I haven't made another channel But the other channel that I might make for these sorts of videos. So it's interesting throughout this whole process In terms of my actual work It got super busy and then it got super slow depending on what time period we were in So, um, yeah, it's kind of been a little bit of bull And then in terms of the ideas for the future direction of the channel, um Basically just more of the same thing.  It's probably well over a thousand videos by now There's no way I'm ever going to be able to get to all of them And I also have to be somewhat selective about which ones I do So I try to make videos that include, you know, multiple degrees and then I talk about multiple ones But I'm trying to come up with some solutions in the near future Second channel is going to be one of them most likely where I post videos on there And then I'm also looking into, uh, youtube shorts making some videos on youtube shorts And then maybe even tick talk because there's some types of videos where The subject is extremely niche and not very many people would be interested in seeing it But at the same time it's a, you know, it's very valuable And so I can't spend 10 hours making a youtube video for that But maybe I could spend, you know, 30 minutes making a tick talk video instead And then that way I could make, you know, make 10 videos in the same amount of time 10 or 20 videos So I'm looking into different alternatives, uh, just to try to get to all those questions that you guys ask I'm going to do my best, okay But, uh, yeah, maybe doing a tick talk or something along those lines Janay asks is phd and masters in finance, uh, in usa good option for green card and job salary perspective love from india And by the way, congratulations. Thank you so much. Janay. I appreciate it I'm not an expert on the subject of, uh, immigrating here to the us I do have one friend, uh, very close friend, um, kind of like a mentor fellow pharmacist of mine Um, he started in india. He moved to canada and then from canada he immigrated here to the us So I know that's like a really common way of doing it because it's easier to get into canada And then from canada go to the us But again, I'm I'm sorry. I'm not an expert on that sort of thing And in terms of, uh, degrees that you would get I I'm also I I don't know I apologize But I I really don't know anything about that my best advice would just be going to something where there's a lot of Demand I'd say so there's a lot of need for people who have those skills You'd probably want to pursue something like that. Jeremy says, uh, how hard is it to find jobs right out of undergrad with a physics degree? Is it better to just go for an engineering degree? Yeah, Jeremy It can be a little bit difficult to find jobs with a physics degree even though it's pretty well respected Uh, and the skills you learn are tough like not everybody can get a physics degree very tough I probably wouldn't be able to do it myself, right? So the skills you learn are valuable. It's well respected But it's just a little bit It's hard to convince people that the skills you learn with a physics degree are going to translate to real life A little bit too theoretical in some ways. So it can be a little bit hard sometimes There are a lot of businesses, uh, out there that have the philosophy of just hiring the smartest people And they know that people who graduate with, uh, physics degrees are very smart and very hard working And so they'll hire you for a job that probably has nothing to do with physics And then they'll just decide, hey, I'm gonna, you know, go ahead and take the time to train them on the exact skills I want them to know and then just hopefully their raw brain power is going to help them, uh, be successful Engineering is a little bit more practical. Uh, it's not as theoretical as physics But so, you know, that might be a good option for you But again, every person's situation is going to be different You can definitely get a job with a physics degree You just might have to, you know, look around a little bit more and do a little more work Try to get an internship or extra work experience. Uh, do networking while you're in college blah blah says How do you feel about the prospect of government student loans being reduced or vacated? Oh boy That's a hot button issue right now. Um, I will say that, uh, you know, I try to stay away from politics I try to not give my political opinions on this channel and be as neutral as possible But I will say that, uh, politicians promise a lot of things very rarely do they actually deliver So, you know, we've been hearing a lot about this, uh, student loan forgiveness and, uh, they, um Have not delivered anything yet. So we'll see if they actually do it I would say if they are going to pay off people's student loans I I think the colleges have to bear some of the responsibility of the payment because a lot of these colleges like I said have like 100 years worth of operating expenses business expense like paying their their their employees And then 100 years of just paying for the student's education and their endowment, right? And that's all money that they got from their student's tuition for the most part and then also donations and stuff But that's just ridiculous. Why would they be able to have 100 years of operating expenses? Why would they need that? That's totally ridiculous. So, uh, you know, there's a lot of it's a very complex issue there's a lot that goes into it, but I really think that the colleges need to step up and, uh, take some responsibility in this whole situation this whole student debt situation because, uh, in many ways they Bear a lot of the blame because they took advantage of a system that was supposed to help people To get their education. Alex asks, do you think an MBA is worth it? So it depends on the situation in some cases it absolutely will be worth it And in some cases it, uh, is not worth it. It really depends on what career you're going for and all kinds of other factors Generally speaking It it's it's going to be worth it, uh For a good amount of people I'd say but it also depends on what college you go to and some other factors because MBA is one of those degrees where it's almost like you can get an MBA in a cracker box A lot of the time it's like tacked on to other careers and stuff like that So, uh, you want to make sure that you're going to like, you know, a good reputable college and And all those sorts of things which I can't get into because this video is already getting way too long Okay, noreal left a very long comment. I'm going to try to get through this super fast I'm sorry. I cannot give you a detailed answer on these noreal So, uh, is it, uh, right to intercomputer science when I was never passionate about it? No Don't don't do something you're not passionate about if you don't like it. Don't do it Uh, do the thing you're more interested in how how can I manage my fear of scholarships? Where I am scared of being alone abroad and choosing a major among millions from different universities I I don't even know what to say. They're noreal You know, try to try to get out of your comfort zone You'll notice that when you get out of your comfort zone with things that you fear doing You're probably going to get the most out of those things So sometimes actually what you fear doing is the thing that you should do What activities and courses that are most important that we have to take during college life? In terms of just practically speaking In terms of what's most important. I would say Skills and work experience those two things are the most important thing. They override everything else Depending on what career path you're going down third one that's really important is networking, right? So skills work experience and networking. Those are kind of like the holy trinity Of what's important, but you know, it depends on what you're going for So for instance, if you are trying to get into medical school, then grades becomes extremely important and how involved you are So it's a case by case basis basically Do you recommend getting into something that will pay a lot or something you have passion for? Definitely do the thing that you have passion for you need to identify What type of passion it is. So is it a hobby? Is it something you want to do for a living? And then if so if you want to do it for a living Is it something that is practical to do with a college degree or is it something that you maybe want to do on your own? Right start your own business something along those lines, right? Because there's a lot of college degrees that when you get the uh, the major when you go into the major you get the degree It's not going to help you do that thing professionally. So In my opinion, that's not going to be worth going $40,000 in debt for thank you for uh, replying to each of our comments Uh, yeah, you got it.   How much does my business make? How much do I make in passive income, right? There's all these videos that talk about that sort of thing And I did post a poll where I asked people if they want me to make a video like that And I think the majority of people said that they did Um, they did actually want me to make a video about that But a lot of people at the same time also talked about how I don't have to and it's kind of like my choice But um, I know that some people, you know, the way they do it is a little bit braggadocious It can come across that way and uh, you know, I would never want to do that And what I realized is This is a year where a lot of people are having financial issues A lot of people are struggling big time My brother had to lay off all of his employees, his business, you know, went down the drain Um, you know, just just to give a personal example But there's millions of examples out there of things just like that A lot of people are in pain and they're struggling this year and I did not want to be the person Um, I thought it would be a little bit tone deaf for me to post a video like that While so many other people are having financial issues So I basically didn't want to be the person who did that So I still will probably do it at some point in the future because most of you want me to post a video like that Um, but I'm hoping I can maybe wait until after all this stuff is over and people kind of go back to normal Ice, uh, and I'm not going to say that full name because I'm not going to say that full name. Nice try Uh, will you ever branch out and talk about investing and stuff like that? So, yeah, I've already talked somewhat about investing on the channel The videos didn't do nearly as well as like college degree videos and that sort of thing And that's kind of the nature of the youtube algorithm, you know, I make an amazing video on investing I put so much work into it and then it gets like a thousand views or something like that Uh, or you know, 10,000 views and then a decent video on college degrees get a ton of views So, you know, once you get big enough once the channel gets big enough You can kind of branch out a little bit and talk about different subjects Uh, but at this point, uh, I kind of try to stick to my niche So, yeah, I will definitely talk more about investing in the future I think investing is a very important part of personal finance Adam asks best computer science degree's hardest majors. Is it worth getting a master's degree or phd in computer science? Best combination of degrees related to computer science, uh, you don't have to answer all of them. Um, although I wouldn't complain either So, uh, adam, I made a video called the best double majors for technology degrees I suggest you check that one out hardest majors. I think physics probably physics, uh, maybe some of the engineering degrees They're really tough, but I you know, that's kind of subjective Is it worth getting a master's degree or a phd in computer science depends on what position career path you're going for For most people it probably wouldn't be worth, uh going for a master's or a phd, but for some people it would be Elliot asks, there's a lot of variables to account for, but what would you advise to someone who has a not very in-demand bachelor's degree? uh, so Yeah, I Did make a video on that where I talk about what you can do if you got a worthless so to speak degree So basically, uh, there's a lot of things to it But there there are quite a few careers out there that only require you to have a college degree They don't really care what college degree you got, right? So you would want to look into careers like that There's a lot of government jobs out there. For instance, that are pretty good Along those lines if you got a degree in something where there's not necessarily a lot of demand job demand out there But there's demand in other ways like for instance, you could start a youtube channel or some kind of side hustle related Uh to that skill then that's another direction that you can look in as well My don't asks, uh, do students who major in marketing have good career perspective? Yeah, marketing's pretty decent. What do you need to focus on to ultimize? Their chances so business again Work experience slash internships networking And skills those are the three big things that you want to focus on tega. Elliott says is double majoring really hard What do you think about economics and political science as a double major? Double majoring can be pretty tough. Um, it really depends on what you're double majoring And it's it's going to be harder than just you know one major on its own But it kind of also depends on how your school structures it some schools make it easier to double major It's like more of a smooth process Whereas others are going to make it tougher But uh, yeah, those actually uh, those do sound like pretty good combinations economics and political science That sounds like a good combo for sure. Imran, what motivated you to start a channel in the first place and why with careers specifically? So Imran basically what happened is I realized that I wish that there was a resource like the one that I'm providing right now For myself when I was 17 or 18 years old because I went through like a huge process in order to figure out what I wanted to do and it was very stressful and There's a lot of anxiety associated with it and there were pretty much no good resources out there to help me figure out What I wanted to do in life and so I looked again after I graduated and after I realized, you know Going through the whole system how much of the I hate to use the s word but s c a m a lot of college degrees are in many cases You know and I realized that you know college degrees can be a great thing for some people in certain situations Education is amazing. You know education can change the world getting a college degree specifically that type of education Can be a great choice in some situations, but in many cases it's not the best choice Right, so there's a lot of careers out there if you want to get into Getting a college degree is not going to be the best choice for you And I just wanted to provide a resource for people out there Who were kind of in a similar situation to me where they came from a background where they were pretty poor You know, I was homeless for a while when I was a kid and then also And I lived in like trailer parks and all kinds of things like that So, you know, I came from a situation where I was very poor And I had to be a little bit more practical than the average advice out there People were giving right so I can't just go to college get a degree and Get even further into debt and become even more poor. I had to be a little bit more practical So it's a good balance of you know practicality and passion. You always want to try to find that balance You know, I talked about that with icoguy. For instance, that's a great way to think about it And so that's what motivated me to start this channel and just start talking about personal finance career paths college degrees in general is I just did not think that there were enough channels out there They were talking about this stuff and the few channels out there that mentioned it here and there In my opinion, uh, weren't giving the best advice. Mr. Peep, uh, what are some signs of a degree that will not be future proof? Oh, man. So I made a video, uh, called, uh, 10 10 red flags for college degrees or something like that top 10 red red flags for college degrees and, uh, Yeah, I talked about all of the the things that are uh, make something not future proof or bad In that video, so you should check that video out in donna seash. Sorry if I butchered the name there Says online courses that everyone should take so by online courses I'm guessing you mean something outside of college. Uh, so like Skillshare something along those lines buying a course in order to learn So my opinion on online courses and I know this is kind of a controversial subject right now There's channels like coffee zilla for instance that, uh, you know, talk about a lot of these online scammers who sell $1997 courses and Um, basically rip people off left and right So my opinion on that whole industry, uh, which is basically just online learning e-learning Is that right now there are quite A few people out there that are providing bad products and you look at kind of like how a market develops With a lot of different products and you see that you know at the very beginning A lot of the time with markets the products are bad because there's not enough competition There's not enough, uh feedback. There's not people, uh being held accountable and all that sort of thing So right now in my opinion about 80 percent of online courses are either Not worth it or they're straight up scams. Okay, so I've taken many online courses and I would say Probably 70 80 percent of them that I've taken were either not worth it straight up scams And then around like 20 percent maybe 20 30 percent of the courses Um, we're worth it or just amazing, right? So That's kind of my opinion on online courses I do think that the future of Education the future of learning is going to be More, uh decentralized. It's not going to be just colleges that have like a monopoly on Teaching people things you see that google is coming out with a program where they teach people how to do certain Skills that are in high demand. They've got like certifications coming out So it's almost like their own little university in some ways and uh, you see a lot of people popping up and teaching Skills as well. So there were several youtube courses that I took that really helped me grow on youtube And I do not think I would have been at the point where I'm at right now without those courses So without a doubt they can be worth it in some cases But you need to be very very careful because there's a lot of uh scammers out there in terms of what courses you should take Come on. I I have no idea again. That's such an open-ended question. Um Depends on what you want to do in life. Collie asks What is your opinion on a business degree with a business analytics concentration? Uh, yeah, that's a good one business analytics Is is really good again for the right person, of course Reem, congrats. Shane. I was just wondering in terms of furthering my career in psychology Would it be smarter to go for a PsyD or a phd? So again, that would depend on your personal situation, but just very generally speaking I've heard better things about going for a phd than a PsyD in many cases But you know, I can't speak on it specifically just because again, I It depends on the situation. It depends on the career you're going for etc So I've heard slightly better things about going for a phd than a PsyD. Janelle asks best future jobs with incoming automation Again, I would say health Careers are pretty safe and a lot of technology careers. I think they're going to do really well Business is a little bit of a wild card. Some business careers are going to Not do well and then some are going to you know Really stand the test of time and do extremely well in my opinion Uh, I'd say the biggest thing is just focus more on skills Than focusing on the job So if you learn certain skills that you know are not going to be able to be automated like for instance communication Uh being able to network with people leadership management Um, just business smarts in general kind of hard to talk about it's sort of intangible But just business skills and business smarts in general These are things that are never going to be able to be automated Abdullah says do you recommend getting a master's or phd? And a stem related career. So I did make a video about that I think it was titled is a master's degree worth it or The other one was my opinion on phd degrees and generally speaking Okay, because i'm broadcasting this to a broad audience Generally speaking Phds are not worth it. Okay generally speaking for the right person might be the best choice for you But uh in terms of your time investment as well as the money investment Most of the time phds are not going to be worth it And I made an entire video about why I think that and then generally speaking masters can sometimes be worth it In terms of your money investment and time investment, right? So for the right person Getting a doctorate or a masters will absolutely be worth it if you've You know planned ahead you've done your due diligence. It can be worth it. Absolutely. It was worth it for me But for the average person for most people in my opinion It's not worth it, especially when it comes to getting a phd And especially if you're talking from a personal finance perspective tolga Hello, man Could you talk about online degrees and which ones are worth it? Which ones are not worth it? You might remember me I sometimes show up in your comments as the econ guy that took two gap years Planting to have an online mis degree alongside with the main econ one So online degree is very interesting subject that I will be making more videos about in the near future When it comes to online degrees It's hard for me to say that Taking a degree online. You're going to be as engaged as if you were doing it in person Especially for certain subjects. So for instance doing an online lab. I mean, I've done lots of labs I can't imagine how I would be able to learn anything from doing a lab online When you're just mixing like virtual Flasks together virtual Liquids and stuff. I do not see how I would be able to learn much of anything from that But there are certain degrees where I can see it being okay To be done online And I think a big thing there is less to do with the degree itself and more to do with the school that you go to Because there are a lot of pretty scammy hate using that word because I don't want to get sued But uh scammy uh for-profit type schools like Profit mills that are online and they charge people way more than what they should and they're not very well respected A lot of these online schools So there are a few online schools that are have a better reputation and then a lot of brick and mortar schools Of course with everything happening in 2020 offer online programs So, um, I did make an entire video about that But it does need to be updated because of the fact that it was made before Uh 2020 happened. Mr. Peep asks should schools throw away useless college degrees? Why or why not? So this is an interesting question. I don't think they should throw away the degrees I just think that they should be much more Transparent to their students about their chances of getting a job And I think that they should also be held accountable If their students are not able to get a job or if their students are just in a really bad place, right? So right now the schools pretty much have no skin in the game. They're not held accountable for their students' success So the student is taking on all of the risk and you can't do a take back, right? You can't like get your money back from school. There is no there is no return So it's not like a normal business where if you're not satisfied with the product You can return it to the business and they'll usually give you your money back The whole college system is set up to where the schools are just simply not accountable For what's happening to the students and they are just profiting like crazy off of it So no, I don't believe that schools should throw away useless degrees I think that they should probably downscale some of the degrees where there's not any demand And I think it's awesome to be able to take classes in a lot of these degrees Like I really enjoyed taking classes in history, psychology, sociology, etc But they should be much more open and realistic with their students about their chances of getting a job And keep it a little bit more pragmatic. I guess you could say kind of just be a little more practical In terms of the students ability to get a job afterwards And ability to pay off the loans that they're taking out Zayad asks what are the best remote jobs for teens? Oh man, that's a tough one Zayad I would just say, uh, you know learning some type of website development would be great I would say Remote jobs buying and selling stuff online. I did that a lot when I was a teen Um, yeah, there's there's a lot of good ones out there I think as a teen you're more focused on side hustles Than jobs a lot of the time. So so yeah, you're probably going to be more focused on that suicide says What was your gpa in school? I honestly don't remember. Um, I think in undergrad I had like a 3.6 or something It was I think it was around like 3.5 3.6 somewhere around there GPA doesn't really matter much guys, uh, unless you're trying to get into like Medical school or something like that. Uh, gpa really does not matter I haven't had a single time where my gpa, uh, has mattered there I haven't been an employer that's asked me what my gpa was or Uh, an internship or anything like that. There are exceptions though, of course There, you know, if you're trying to go to graduate school trying to get into a really competitive program Then it's gonna matter. Carissa Lee, uh, congrats. Thank you, Carissa. Appreciate that Daniel Christopher favorite tv show or movie. I think it changes over time. Um, but uh, I'd say my favorite tv show Like for drama it would be Breaking Bad and my favorite movie Um, oh and my favorite comedy is The Office. I love The Office and then for uh, favorite movie Oh man, that's tough. I I don't think I have a favorite movie. I can't think of a favorite movie right now Zach's asks you know how you say management is a very broad degree and it's too general And that's why it can be difficult to find a job. Well, what if my university makes me specialize from second year? I'm thinking of management and international business economics. How's that? Does it have good job prospects? So I realize that I I can kind of confuse people sometimes when I use those words interchangeably. So Um, sometimes it's best to get a degree where you can go into a lot of different areas and specifically Business degrees are great in that regard because of the fact that they pair so well with other degrees And they're just extremely useful when it comes to getting a job, right? The skills you learn with a business degree Are very very useful. Okay, and that's why you see business degrees Doing really well when it comes to the statistics and getting jobs and you know wealth, etc But with that being said the downside of getting a business degree in many cases is that they're too general So it is kind of a double-sided coin, right? So sometimes you might get a degree where it's just super specific. Okay Extremely specific and that degree if you got it It's pretty much only is going to help you with jobs in that particular career path. Okay So an example of a very specific degree would be a lot of different health related degrees, you know Nursing, etc If you get a nursing degree you're going to become a nurse if you got a nursing degree and then you decided You know what? I want to work as a finance manager That would be a little bit tough for you to do whereas if you got a general business degree You could get into a lot of different career paths. You could probably end up becoming a finance manager Now, of course, you'd have to do your research on that and and do a lot of other things that I can't talk about in this video but Basically, there is downsides and upsides to something being broad versus something being specific Sometimes you're going to be pigeonholing yourself by getting a degree that's too specific But sometimes depending on what career path you want to go down that can be a good idea as well And in terms of your questions about a management degree if you specialize in that Again, it can be a really good idea Just make sure that you focus on especially with a business degree focus on skills networking and internships slash work experience You focus on those three things. You'll be good to go with the business degree. James asks Have you always been so financially literate? How did you get to that point? Definitely not. No, absolutely not. You're not born with it. It just takes practice So watching videos like this learning these sorts of things and then implementing them and just practicing in real life Andres asks what are your sources of income? youtube business and You know my my job, of course and like I said before I'll probably get into that in more detail in the future anti communist says Is it possible to become an extraordinary person like elon musk only by reading books like he did or When he was young or do I still need to attend college to get knowledge? Oof that is that is a good question.  Okay, so when you look at somebody like lebron james It's very obvious that they're a genetic freak. You know, he's like six nine 260 pounds of pure muscle He can run like super fast while also being incredibly huge and bulky He's got like fast twitch muscle and then on top of all that he's got like a photographic memory and he's super smart Okay, so when you see someone like lebron james, it's very easy that he is a genetic freak. Okay With someone like elon musk, it's not as obvious But I would say he's just as much of a freak when it comes to your brain So most people are not able to learn things as fast as he does Most people are not able to be extremely skilled in so many different Areas, right? He he's basically somebody who can master An area in just a few days or a few weeks because of how smart he is, right? So realistically speaking For most people it's not possible to be like elon musk, you know, I'm never going to tell you you can't be like elon musk You you know, if you think you can do it that that's awesome I think it's a little bit unhealthy to try to compare yourself to people like that who are just absolute freaks who work like 120 hours a week. They're super smart. They're just Incredibly driven etc for me and for the normal person. I want to work hard and also play hard. Okay, so That's just me. I I want to work hard but I also want to have work life balance and enjoy my life and In terms of the question of do you still need to attend college to get knowledge? So this is another one that I get a lot, you know, people use the example of elon musk mark zuckerberg bill gates Mark zuckerberg and bill gates like dropped out of college and stuff like that You have to realize that that is the outlier example That is that is like a total they are total outliers Most people who are successful most people who are millionaires The and by that I mean greater than 50 of them did attend college. Okay, so For most people it is a good idea to attend college. I would say you need to make sure That you get the correct degree And make sure that you do the right things to get the most out of it college is becoming less valuable I think there's other ways to learn these skills outside of college And then, you know, don't discount something like getting into trade careers That can be a great idea as well starting your own business I think that's great as well, you know to to get into something like that if you want to become an entrepreneur You definitely don't need to attend college to get some types of knowledge And I'd say it's actually counterproductive in many cases So if you're trying to get into something artistic, for instance A lot of the time going to college is actually going to stop you From being able to do it professionally because you're going to be so far in debt And I think you would be better off in many cases by just practicing whatever your art is for four years Rather than going to college and trying to learn it. Oh man, this video is going on for really long Okay, so the king of kings. How do you invest gain passive money in a poor and unstable economy? That is a super tough question to answer. I am going to be talking more about investing Later on, but you know, it seems like technology stocks are doing extremely well In my opinion, I like index fund investing. I think index funds are great and I have been looking into I've been critical about this in the past, but I have been looking into crypto currency as well. So That it might be something that I talk about on this channel soon. Mr. Peep, what makes a degree Unemployable, well, that's what my whole channel is about. You just have to watch my whole channel Check out the 10 college degree red flags to watch out for all over a aburak as What is the most important job in the world?  I would say teachers scientists and Entrepreneurs, those are the three most important jobs.  I think they're amazing And then entrepreneurs because they innovate and they solve problems on the society as a whole So I would say those three careers are the most important If I just had to come up with something off the top of my head James asks what traditional businesses are most lucrative Oh, man, uh, it really depends on what you mean by traditional businesses. James. I I don't know exactly what you mean by that A lot of trade careers if that's what you mean by traditional businesses are really lucrative Especially if you start your own business Not work on you know for someone else but start your own business. They can be really good. Saffa says congratulations Thank you. Saffa. I appreciate that. Andre says Most profitable business even in a recession. It seems like technology related businesses are doing extremely well Even in a recession. So I would say something along, you know, something in technology Entertainment seems to be doing really well as as well, especially in this particular recession So like my channel did really well this year. For instance, I don't know if it would have done this well In a different year. I don't know. I exist TLDR, do you agree with the idea that someone is most successful when they own their own business and not have a regular 9 to 5 job? I think I already answered this one. Um Uh, yeah, I think I already answered this one. But uh, no, absolutely. No, you uh, define your own version of success everybody's version of success is going to be different and uh, you know, for some people it's going to be Starting your own business becoming an entrepreneur for some people it might be Being a freelancer and making 25 000 a year And being a minimalist. Okay, that might be your version of success. Okay, so Don't let anybody else define your version of success Do you agree that colleges are horrible at teaching entrepreneurship? And therefore it's best to skip college and start a business on your own When it comes to entrepreneurship, uh, a lot of people do end up going to college And then they become entrepreneurs later on after they've gotten specific knowledge Industry experience and they've learned skills, right? With that being said, the only way to learn how to be an entrepreneur is to start a business. Okay, so A lot of the skills that you need in order to become an entrepreneur Cannot be taught. There's a really good saying. I like any skill can be learned, but not every skill can be taught so Uh, when it comes to starting a business, the best thing to do is to just start the business and start learning It's like riding a bike The only way to learn how to ride a bike is to get on the bike and and try to ride it Yd 9 6 overrated careers, you know, I've done tons of research on different careers I always read forums and like all kinds of different things when I'm researching And I would have to say the one that got the the least Positive reviews the one that's people absolutely hate with a passion. I would say that has to be lawyer That one seems to be extremely overrated. I mean, I have never seen People so passionate about telling other people to not go into the career Every career you see is going to have negative people That say for this this and this reason you should not go into it the career some more than others But man a lot of people say that you should not become a lawyer. So I mean, I don't know Obviously it can be work out really great for some people, but uh, you know for others Not so much. All right guys. Thank you so much. This video went on a lot longer than I thought it would. I apologize for that But I I tried to get through most of the questions And I think there were still some that I wasn't able to get to but uh, yeah Thank you guys again so much for a hundred thousand subscribers. I really appreciate it And I will continue making really good content that you guys like and I plan on making it even better, especially this year I'm upgrading the set trying to make my content as good as possible Um and just improve it in many different ways. So thank you so much again, and uh, I will catch you guys later


As Yurgis said, my name is Rafał Nowicki. I'm one of the superheroes, so which works on STX Next, and I'm also still student of Wrocław University of Technology. I'm really glad to be here. It's my first Europe icon, and it's also first time when I have a speech. So, today we are going to talk about automated tests, but this talk won't be so technical as many I saw here. I'm going to share my experience with a project where we implemented, where we was implementing the automated tests. So, there is agenda. At the beginning, I will give you a background about the project I used to work on, just to keep the context much better. Then, short talk about tests, about automation in web development, and I will shortly show how we do it in Python. Then, we jump to behavior-driven development. I talk about benefits, problems, solutions, and then I'll show you the conclusions. So, a couple months ago, I used to work for a project which was an interface for Assets Management Platform, web interface. So, we had the chance to implement Selenium test for it to test it more efficient. We work in small scrum teams, and I will show you my point of view as a developer. So, let's begin from test automation in web applications. Two things which we need to write automated tests is scenario. Most scenarios are written in Gherkin language, and we also need the programming part, which is Selenium API, and it's what we use it over here. How it's looking at Python. So, we've got an example scenario, and this is the Gherkin syntax. You've got the name of the feature, name of the scenario, and you've got the steps which is separated by keywords, which is given when and then. And then, we make implementation of all of any steps in this scenario. So, for example, when we had the given, and it has been written that I'm on a login page, we have the Python method where we can program the behavior of the web robot, which is Selenium. Here, you can see there is, actually, you can put the Selenium code over here, but to keep it clear, it's much better to make adapters. It will help you to don't duplicate your code in the future. Here we are, behavior-driven development. But I'd like to start about test-driven development. How many of you know or hear about TDD and about BDD? So, generally, to be sure that, we are on the same page, behavior development comes from TDD, but it's mostly focused on functionality and on business values. Yeah. So, a few days ago, I met some guy over here and I told him about the contest of my speech. And to be sure that we know what's the BDD, I asked him to talk about the BDD, I asked him to collapse it and he said business-driven development. And then I realized it could be, it's actually like this. So, about BDD, we've got benefits, but we also had a lot of problems. So, I'm going to show you the benefits problems and then the solution of those problems, which we got. So, improved developer skills. Because it is the way of programming when you have to write the test at the beginning, it's quite a challenge, especially for beginners or for programmers who work on a more complex project or on new part of the project, which never tapped. It's also, the big benefit is that the developer learns about the business values and about the end user's needs. And here we have cooperation between developers, QAs and business people. I think it's really hard to meet a developer who are experienced in both, I mean, he's a great programmer and he understands the business values of the project, of the task, which he do. Here we have end-to-end tests focused on functionality. So, we are going to help our QAs, our testers to run the automated test except on manually boring stuff. And the biggest benefit, I think, in way of you have all app covered by functional tests, you can make completely new app which fits to those business needs and you can create completely new user interface, create a project for different platform and run the test and check if it still covers the main values. During the implementation of the Selenium tests, we had a lot of troubles and to begin from inexperienced people, we have, there was around four teams which was working on implementation automated tests and I really knew all the people from at least one, at least two teams and all of them are good programmer but all of them, any of them have never need to write something with Selenium API. Another one was different environments and it sometimes happens when you write a test and you run it on your computer, it pass and then someone pulls your changes and he's running this test and it fails. We recognize that there are problems with the browser versions, Selenium versions and web driver versions. We didn't have automated validation of our builds so the way of creating the code in one repository was that we get the plus ones for a code from our co-workers on a PR and before merge, someone else had to run this test on his machine, check it if it pass and then give another plus one that the test passes. The teams which duplicate their work, it happened many times when we were working on implementation the test for new features and for current functionalities, we didn't cooperate as well so it was also the problem and there was even one team which was working on a new feature on isolation and it was actually my team. When the idea of the cover, the app with the automated test came, my team was focused on delivering a new big feature and we used to work on our feature branch and we used to do the same with the Selenium tests but it was a bad idea because after a few weeks we recognized that the master on test code base was completely different than we have and it changes on our branch and it is also about the premature architecture because the architecture wasn't so... we didn't have the completed architecture from the beginning, so we had to get some idea how to do it and then we were improving this recursively as we do it in a scrum. Okay, so what was the solutions? So for inexperience stuff, after a few days, actually this solution sometimes happens after a few days but sometimes it has been resolved after a few springs so from the beginning we started to run the workshops and we share our knowledge with the other teams. We created unified environments and it was in two steps I think because one of the things we've made is to run the script that builds our environment with all the dependencies and another step was that we've got the phantom browser on a virtual machine with all things which we need to run the tests. We started to work in transparency as we should do from the beginning. We get one board on Agira where all the tasks about the Selenium code-based has been touched and we can check which part of the code-based our friends touch and the architecture has been improved. We came to this point that we covered all the use cases and we get one standard with clear documentation for it and we also started to support versioning and the conclusions. I give you an example of the problems which we had in our project. In your project, some of them can work but I get and write down on the slide the most important thing for me and one of them is about communication. It fits to many cases because communication is about the most important part of software development process and it's about people. I strongly believe that it's much easier and nice to work together on one solution rather than work in a separation on different solutions for the same problem and then fight for the best solution which will be our standard. Another thing about the Selenium test mostly you have to learn patience to write this test because in general I really appreciate the work of the QAs of the testers which have to be so patient to repeat the same steps over and over again and writing automation test it's like this at the beginning so you really need to be patient people and I think that's it. I'm looking for questions. Do we have any questions? Alright, thanks a lot. Let's give him a round of applause. Okay, thank you.


YouTube team keep it clean was What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and this is something that we don't normally do And this is not anything we're going to normally do because we're probably not gonna even be available to do these especially depending on the game but We got to go for that that first half because that first half was so great man That first half was great man that first half was great First and foremost, let me introduce myself really quick because you know we we can't take much time because you know half time It may be like 15 minutes long, but it goes by like that But anyway in the first half man, we were hyping just y'all can see the outside real quick of what's going on out there But let me flip it this way that be so I don't know if y'all can even really see it that much You can't even really see nothing anyway The offense the first half of me close that up the first half was really good really good Um, oh, I don't know if y'all can hear it coming down now to anyway Defense a lot of people kept saying oh the Ravens defense. They're only good in the preseason. That's nothing They're just gonna keep they're playing preseason people. They're not even playing the starters Try to tell people man that defense is real man The defense was real last year and the defense looked like they could be even better this year. They could be even better this year It's looking good so far so good and I know we still got a whole second half left So I'm not taking anything away from that and I did see some little spots here and there You remember never in that drive where AJ Green was getting hot They kept lining them up in the slot He kept catching pass after pass after pass then finally it was third and long and they threw it in the end zone What happens use a pick by CJ Mosey by CJ Mosey that thing was beautiful and then That was a good spot Then on the branding car interception on the branding car interception I thought it was CJ Mosey that actually swatted the ball, but no it was the turnover machine Peanut peanut Patrick. I'm not even gonna try to say his last name, but it was him I really thought that was CJ Mosey. I'm like man Mosey out here swatting passes and stuff But it was peanut that dude is always around the ball that dude always makes turnovers And he he did it all throughout the preseason and he's showing that he does it in real games, too So I tweeted it earlier. I said Camille Correa Your spot has been taken officially good game. That's it. That's it man. That is it. That's it He can't there's this there's no way that Correa got stiffed on and he got shook by mixing Not not completely his fault because Joe mixing is nice, but With peanut out there making a play like that. Oh, yeah, that's You're gonna consider KC spot pretty much gone pretty much gone Yeah, number 51. That's that's Camille Correa. That's him. That's him right there But you can consider his his starting spot pretty much gone that I'm sure that's gonna go to peanut. Anyway What was some other nice highlights to the oh Joe Flacco Flacco actually looked sharp. He looks sharp for the most part He did at the end of the second half he When they were trying to get some yards to go and get in get Justin Tuck in field goal range He did throw a pass behind Bashar Perryman And there were some passes even though they got completed There were some passes in the beginning that he did throw off his back foot But the offensive line has been holding up pretty well so far They're not giving Flacco too much time, but they're giving him enough time They're giving him enough time. What's up? I gained too much appreciate you coming through No, I didn't forget Tanya's West touchdown. Let's give me a second. We'll get there. We get there. The weather is um Let me show you the weather It's not That's the weather right there So it's It's been it's been off and on it's been off and on it's been sunny and I mean not sunny It's been windy then it would go back and be It'll be a little rainy and then mostly it's been windy. It's been up and down windy The wind has picked up and then it's dropped down some so so far so good It did however knock us out It knocked our power out for like literally like two seconds and then it knocked the internet too Of course because the internet got to run off the power But then the power came right back on like I said like after two seconds But the internet took like 10 15 minutes to come back on so when the internet came back on What's up Carter? Then when the internet came back on right when it came back on it was like third in something for the Ravens and flak Oh 48 y'all passed touchdown to Jeremy Macklin. So the timing was perfect so then Then we go to right after that the defense came out the What's it called the Bengals got a kick return, but it wasn't for much yards So then the defense came out and what happened Andy Dalton and he was trying to make something happen He was down 10 of 10 zero which who wouldn't make who wouldn't try to make something happen Of course, we all would so he was down 10 zero He threw a pass and it got tipped at the line of scrimmage by my boy Terrell Suggs and then my boy Lidaria swept he used to be one of my favorite Ravens and I mean I guess you still live But he used to be like they used they used to be my guy man. He used to be my guy But then he the pass got tipped and Lidaria swept got the awareness And he caught the pick and then took it back a couple yards too And then the very next play my boy Tarence West got the he got the touchdown. So That thing was good, man. He said brashad is getting locked up. Hey, that's fine, man That's fine as long as that lead keeps increasing and we can mean not only maintain but increase the lead Look brashad can be locked up. They could throw away the key and everything I don't mind but as long as that defense keep making plays in the offense The office is trying to show that they can kind of had a defense is back I mean I wouldn't say they have it all the way yet. They did get that one big play But I just want to see consistency now. I want to see consistency I want to see them build off of that first half I want to see the defense still come out firing just hungry like they showed that they were I want to see all of that Yes, they do still keep getting penalties Ryan Jensen with the holding Ronnie's Ronnie Stanley with the false thought I think So yeah, the offense hasn't been the offense hasn't been putrid like they were last year But they haven't been like oh man. Yeah, we got offense now. So it's still We we still holding out man some bad things that happened in the first half was when that that drive when the When they just kept going off man The drive with the bingles they kept they were just driving on us Joe mixing looks good, man They run game it has been looking good against us for the most part Joe mixing not Giovanni Benard. What's his name? What's his name? One of y'all know I forgot his name man not Giovanni Benard. What's the other guy? What's his name? Can somebody just put it in a chat section real quick? Not Giovanni Benard. What's the guy's name? He'll Jeremy Hill. There we go. Appreciate y'all. Thank you a bean pong Thank you pancake. Appreciate it. Thank you. Jay money Joe Flacco's the lead DJ nays game give birth though How about the cowboys Justin Boyd a big Kate Nate game Devon Bush appreciate all y'all man? But yeah, Jeremy Hill he looked good against us Joe mixing look good against us.  Yeah, Danny Woodhead getting hurt. That was tough I thought it was the ACL at first because when he went down he started clutching the back of his leg And then Zadaria Smith who and both of those two players were having such great games too They were making like big impacts straight. They were making big impacts from jump. So um This thing was great man. Oh yo you watching this stream with your friends. Oh, y'all got a football party with what's up? Everybody at Justin Boyd party. What's going on man? Appreciate y'all having me at the party right now.   I know anything could happen any second and T-Mobile their service has been out too So everything is connected to Wi-Fi right now. So if Wi-Fi goes out, that's why I disappeared from Twitter I don't know if y'all even noticed y'all probably so into the game Which is no fault of your own but of course you would be but I had disappeared off Twitter for like 10 15 minutes That's because the Wi-Fi went out and T-Mobile ain't have any service. What's up, Dr. Dot man I know you hype for the night man. I know you hype for the night to see your boys play He said status equals broke we talking about I'm lost But yeah, man appreciate y'all appreciate y'all a lot I did tweet the links to the stream if you are here right now And you are you aren't able to watch the game because maybe it's not playing in your area whatever you want to watch it I will tweet out another link to the Raven stream so y'all can watch the second half with all of us And then hopefully we'll have power after this so we can all come come through together and talk about the entire game Anyway, appreciate y'all man. I will see you. I hopefully see y'all after the second half Hopefully the The hurricane and all that doesn't get bad man. Hopefully. Oh, yeah, big Nick already know man This hurricane definitely ain't no joke man. Definitely no joke. Yeah, Miami is flooding bad bad bad My Twitter is engraving vids. It's just like just like the YouTube channel man. I am g r a v e n v i d s But yeah, it's bad see It's bad.  Thank you. Can you watch the game without Twitter? Yeah, all you need is internet explore But I'm gonna be putting the link on Twitter So that's why um, that's why I said Twitter if you got Instagram or snapchat I can just DM you the link send me a message on Instagram and snapchat if you don't have Twitter So yeah, just let me know that Instagram my Instagram snapchat and Twitter all engraving vids all the same thing So if you need a link to the stream I'm gonna be putting it on Twitter like right now after we get it get off of this stream And then if you don't have Twitter you can just hit me up on snapchat or Instagram anyway appreciate y'all man Thank you, and I'll hopefully see y'all after the second half I'm out. Oh and make sure y'all leave a like on the video if you haven't already and subscribe to the YouTube channel Especially if you're new here and turn notifications on so when we do go live and hopefully when we do go live after the game Y'all will be here and we can all come through together one more time And anyway, I'll see y'all after halftime. Hopefully and I'm out. Bye


Going beyond our galaxy, Hubble captured two nebulae inside the small Magellanic cloud, situated as to appear as one. Intense radiation from the brilliant central stars is heating the hydrogen in each of the nebulae, causing them to glow red. This is part of a study to understand how interstellar dust is different in galaxies that have a far lower supply of heavy elements. The small Magellanic cloud has between a fifth and a tenth of the amount of heavy elements that the Milky Way does. Because it is so close, astronomers can study its dust in great detail and learn about what dust was like earlier in the universe's history.
