00:00you watch every single college degree
00:02video and read all of the career
00:04websites on the internet your Tick Tock
00:06page is full of people talking about
00:07their careers college degrees and their
00:09experiences at University but at the end
00:11of the day it doesn't mean Jack unless
00:14you unshackle yourself and you realize
00:16the reality of the situation everything
00:18you do is futile it's all pointless
00:20because you may take one step forward
00:22but then you just take two steps back
00:24unless of course you avoid getting the
00:26types of college degrees that I'm going
00:28to reveal in this video because
00:29unfortunately if you get these degrees
00:31you can wave goodbye to your chances of
00:33having a successful high paying and
00:35fulfilling career because success is all
00:38about offense and defense and most
00:40people just pay attention to offense I
00:43mean just look at the best performers in
00:45the world like Floyd Mayweather who
00:46became the highest paid boxer of all
00:48time by mastering the art of defense or
00:51Magnus Carlson who's probably the
00:53greatest chess player of all time who
00:55got that way by almost never losing even
00:57if it means he has to draw a lot of
00:59games so by not falling into the common
01:01traps that most people fall into like
01:03getting a useless degree your defense
01:06gets stronger and it makes everything
01:07else in your life better and actually I
01:10found in life that avoiding doing
01:12negative things is actually more
01:14powerful in many cases than doing
01:16positive things so for instance I used
01:18to drink a lot when I was in college and
01:19at the same time I was trying to make
01:21money on the side I was trying to get a
01:23good job and I failed over and over
01:25again and what I realized is when I
01:27drink on the weekends first of all I
01:29didn't get anything done during that
01:30time and then the first few days of the
01:32week I would spend recovering from my
01:34drinking session I would basically have
01:35brain fog and my brain just wouldn't
01:37work and I wouldn't have any motivation
01:38and then finally after feeling sluggish
01:40most of the week I would feel okay
01:42around Friday and then I just do the
01:44entire cycle again and when I stopped
01:45doing these degenerate activities like
01:47drinking all the time that's when I
01:49finally started having success so my
01:51defense actually helped my offense and
01:54that is why I came up with this list of
01:55eight college degrees that you need to
01:57avoid and not only am I going to tell
01:59you about specific college degrees but
02:01I'm also going to tell you why you need
02:03to avoid these degrees so that you can
02:04recognize them in other ones that you
02:06might be considering because let's be
02:08honest schools are creating these
02:09degrees way faster than I can cover them
02:11on this channel and so it's much better
02:13for me to actually show you how you can
02:14recognize what the bad degrees are
02:16yourself and the first one on this list
02:18is going to be a science related degree
02:20that's one of the most popular degrees
02:22it's actually one of the top five most
02:24common degrees that people get over a
02:26hundred thousand people graduate with
02:28this degree every single year and a lot
02:30of people think that Science degrees are
02:32always good right because they're stem
02:33degrees but the truth is a lot of
02:35Science degrees aren't that great stem
02:37stands for science technology
02:39engineering and Mathematics and the
02:41truth is the science part of that is the
02:43weakest by far and think about it it
02:45makes complete sense because
02:46universities these days seem to be
02:48really confused about basic biology this
02:51is stuff that we've known for like a
02:52hundred years that males have X Y
02:54chromosomes and females have XX
02:56chromosomes and yet universities are
02:58consistently letting males come compete
03:00in female sports and so as somebody who
03:02loves science it's really sad but
03:04science and universities have been
03:06hijacked by woke propaganda and I
03:08remember when I was an undergrad we were
03:09talking about biology which by the way
03:11that's the degree biology and the
03:13teacher started saying that if science
03:15and her ideology Clash AKA objective
03:18reality objective science clashes with
03:20something that she thinks then objective
03:25right so this teacher literally said
03:26that if her political ideas were
03:28different than objective science then
03:30she rejects it this is a professor
03:32teaching people this and I could not
03:34believe it when I heard this I was like
03:36am I seriously paying all this money to
03:38have a teacher lecture me about her
03:40politics but that is exactly what is
03:42happening in universities right now and
03:44biology is an example of a degree that
03:46is way too saturated like there are
03:48basically zero jobs at the bachelor's
03:50level you have to get at least a Masters
03:52or a doctorate in order to even have a
03:54chance of Landing a job in biology and I
03:56think one of the main mistakes people
03:58make that fall into this one is they say
04:00oh you know my plan is to go to medical
04:01school or go to pharmacy school or
04:03become a PA or a nurse practitioner and
04:06so the undergraduate degree I get
04:07doesn't really matter and so they end up
04:09getting a biology degree because they
04:10think it's going to be a great
04:11prerequisite for medical school but
04:13actually in reality when medical schools
04:15are evaluating candidates there's so
04:17many biology Majors that are applying
04:19that you're less likely to get in
04:20because of quotas so you're more likely
04:22to get into medical school if you get
04:24more of a rare degree 3 rather than one
04:26that's saturated like biology and I
04:27always tell people to secure the bag
04:30with your undergraduate degree even if
04:32you're planning on going to grad school
04:33because the truth is even if you have a
04:35good plan your plan might change and a
04:37lot of the time you'll think that you're
04:39going to go to grad school but you end
04:40up not going and then you're going to
04:41end up with a useless undergraduate
04:43degree if you're not careful and by the
04:45way the reason I know so much about this
04:47stuff is one I got a doctorate myself so
04:49I've went all the way through the
04:51university system and then I have also
04:53autistically studied this stuff for the
04:54last like five to ten years and on top
04:57of that I have now helped thousands of
04:58people land their dream jobs and a lot
05:00of the advice that you hear on the
05:01Internet or from the media or from your
05:03teachers unfortunately is not very good
05:05and so I made this channel because it's
05:07the channel That I wish I had when I was
05:09younger and so if you appreciate me
05:10warning you about degrees like this so
05:12that you don't fall into the Trap go
05:13ahead drop a like in order to defeat the
05:16evil YouTube algorithm so that more
05:17people can find out as well now the
05:19second type of degrees I'm going to talk
05:21about are ones that are way too General
05:24college is a extremely expensive and if
05:26you are going to spend all of that money
05:28to go to college you want to make sure
05:30that you are a specialist that is the
05:32only reason for you to go to college is
05:34for you to specialize in something and
05:36if the degree you get is going to teach
05:37you a little bit about a lot of
05:39different things then that means you are
05:41a generalist and if you want to be a
05:42generalist that's totally fine but you
05:44can learn that stuff for very cheap or
05:46free on the internet of course there's
05:48Google YouTube Khan Academy there's
05:50really cheap resources like skillshare
05:52or udemy and the best universities in
05:55the world like MIT offer their classes
05:57completely free online so for instance
05:59MIT open courseware is a great example
06:02where you can take classes from the best
06:04professors in the world and in many
06:05cases you have the same recorded
06:07lectures you have the same books you
06:09have access to the same questions and in
06:10some cases you even have access to the
06:12test questions that they give people so
06:14there is absolutely no excuse in 2023 to
06:16spend a bunch of money on a degree
06:18that's going to turn you into a
06:20generalist in this particular degree I'm
06:22going to use as an example is a
06:23communications degree now don't get me
06:25wrong communication is an incredibly
06:27important skill but there are so many
06:29different types of communication
06:31obviously making YouTube videos is one
06:33type of communication there's the
06:35written word there's podcasts there's
06:37giving speeches and all these types of
06:39communication are going to be different
06:40now the next category on the list is
06:43going to be the exact opposite which is
06:45degrees that are too specific now I put
06:48this at the beginning of the video for a
06:49reason because I don't want you to get
06:51confused when I say to not be a
06:53generalist when I say you should be a
06:55specialist that does not mean you should
06:56specialize too much right so people who
06:58are watching my videos might make a
07:00mistake so you need to pay attention
07:01because your future your job your
07:03ability to get a girlfriend all depend
07:05on you understanding this right most
07:07things in life are not black and white
07:09there are gray areas and it requires a
07:11little bit of finesse and this
07:13particular degree I'm going to be
07:14talking about that is too specialized is
07:16a printer technology degree so this is
07:18an example of something where there was
07:20a brief time where it was probably a
07:22good idea to get a printer technology
07:24degree because there was so much
07:25opportunity but then they kind of maxed
07:27out what you could do with it and now
07:28there's pretty much no opportunities for
07:30people who get printer technology
07:32degrees and this is not necessarily a
07:34skill set that is going to carry over
07:36into other jobs you might go into so if
07:38you're interested in technology and
07:40maybe even if you want to work on
07:41printers or 3D printers it's probably a
07:44better idea to get a different
07:45technology related degree such as it or
07:48maybe computer science now before I go
07:51on to the next one on the list I just
07:52want to say there is a lot of great
07:54technology careers out there information
07:56technology is a great one to get into
07:58and you can get a degree in information
08:00technology that might be the best idea
08:02depending on the career path you're
08:04going for but the easiest way to break
08:05into it is to go for a lower level job
08:08like it help desk and this is exactly
08:10what my friend Josh matacore and I have
08:12been helping people do and we've
08:14actually been getting people jobs in I.T
08:16in seven days 10 days 14 days and the
08:19technology industry is probably the best
08:21industry you could possibly work in
08:22because it's extremely easy for you to
08:24switch career years once you've gotten
08:26your foot in the door and help desk
08:27might be the easiest job for you to
08:29break into if you're interested in that
08:31Josh actually made a free training which
08:33I'll put down in the description as well
08:34as the pin comment below and he also has
08:36a cohort based course where you go
08:38through it with a bunch of other people
08:39and you have direct access to him the
08:41course is about 450 I think if you use
08:44the 50 off coupon which I'll also put
08:46down in the description below which is
08:47Shane 50. now the next one on the list
08:49is one where there's actually a lot of
08:52jobs and it's pretty easy to get a job
08:54people who graduate with this degree
08:55have extremely low unemployment rates
08:58but these jobs are low paying and
09:00there's not a lot of opportunity and
09:02this particular one that I'm talking
09:03about in this case is an education
09:05degree and this is one where I have
09:07worked with a ton of people for some
09:09reason people who become teachers are
09:11extremely attracted to this channel
09:12because I think teachers have really
09:14good intentions when they get an
09:15education degree and then once they get
09:17into it they realize that it's kind of a
09:19dead-end job where you're not really
09:21going to be able to progress there's
09:22also a ton of red tape it's very
09:24difficult to navigate through the
09:26education system and these days they're
09:28also having to deal with a ton of woke
09:29propaganda that they don't necessarily
09:31believe in but they have to go along
09:33with it or else they'll get fired so
09:35this is a job where you work really hard
09:36you don't get paid very well
09:38speaking of Education one of the main
09:40ways that people find my channel is from
09:42their friends and their family and the
09:44reason for that is because I give no BS
09:46practical career and money advice that
09:48you're not going to be hearing from the
09:49mainstream Media or on TV so the next
09:52one on the list is going to be degrees
09:54that lead to careers that have
09:56absolutely no demand so this particular
09:59degree I'm going to talk about is
10:01extremely interesting this is something
10:02that I like studying myself but if you
10:05type this degree in on LinkedIn which
10:07the degree is sociology and you type in
10:09the career which is sociologist you're
10:10going to see there's almost zero demand
10:13there are almost no job listings on
10:15LinkedIn for sociologists but if you
10:17type in software developer or data
10:19analyst you are going to see hundreds of
10:21thousands of job listings right so even
10:23if you get a sociology degree then you
10:24get a Masters or a doctorate your
10:26chances of getting a job are extremely
10:28low so this is another one that you
10:30definitely want to try and avoid the
10:32next type of degree that you want to
10:33avoid are ones where there's no degree
10:35actually required so there are many
10:37careers out there where you do not need
10:39to get a degree in order to get into the
10:41career and in many of these cases
10:43getting a degree is actually going to
10:45hurt your chances for instance getting a
10:47creative writing degree and the reason
10:49in my opinion that this is going to hurt
10:50your chances is because as a writer the
10:52way you make your money is other
10:54people's opinion on your work and
10:56usually the types of people that are
10:57reading your work are going to be normal
10:59everyday people not academics or
11:01philosophers or professors and so
11:03learning a super technical style of
11:05writing that's designed to please
11:06professors actually in many cases is
11:09going to hurt your chances of being
11:10successful people who are successful
11:11writers online know that the best way to
11:13write is somewhere between a fifth grade
11:15and a 9th grade reading level and that's
11:17so it applies to a broad audience of
11:19people not just people who like to use
11:21big fancy words and Technical language
11:23and there's absolutely nothing stopping
11:25you from starting a writing business
11:27right now so for instance you can start
11:29posting blog posts on medium.com you
11:31could post a newsletter on sub stack or
11:33you can just go ahead and start your own
11:35blog and I actually found a post on
11:37medium.com saying that you probably
11:39shouldn't get an English degree if you
11:41want to be a successful freelance writer
11:43and this is from a successful freelance
11:45writer now the next one on the list is
11:46going to be where a degree is required
11:48for the job but not a specific degree so
11:51you would be surprised how many people
11:53actually make this mistake there are
11:55some jobs out there that require a
11:56degree but they don't actually care what
11:58degree it is so for instance there's a
12:00lot of government related jobs that are
12:01like this there's also a lot of random
12:03jobs like flight attendant for instance
12:04where they prefer people who have a
12:06degree and the particular one I'm going
12:07to talk about in this case is a criminal
12:09justice degree now don't get me wrong I
12:11love True Crime some of my favorite
12:13YouTube channels and podcasts Etc are
12:15true crime related so I understand why
12:17people are so interested about this
12:18stuff and depending on the state and the
12:20city that you live in if you want to
12:21become a police officer for instance
12:23they may require a degree three some of
12:25them don't require a degree at all and
12:27also there's different positions and
12:28some of those might require a degree but
12:30a lot of the time they actually do not
12:32care what degree you get and so there's
12:34a ton of people out there that are
12:35getting criminal justice degrees because
12:37they want to become police officers when
12:38in reality they don't actually have to
12:40do that and remember what I said about
12:42securing the bag with your undergraduate
12:44degree if you are going to get an
12:45undergrad degree make sure you get one
12:47that's going to be good for your future
12:48even if your plans right now don't work
12:51out and then the last one on the list is
12:53going to be a little bit controversial
12:54there's a lot of arguments on the
12:56internet supporting this and then
12:57there's a lot of arguments against this
12:58but getting a degree when it isn't
13:01necessary right so there's certain
13:03degrees out there where it isn't
13:04necessary to actually get the degree in
13:06order to go into the career but getting
13:08the degree does have some advantages and
13:10in this particular case I'm going to be
13:12talking about an information technology
13:14degree so when you look at the
13:15statistics information technology is
13:17great so getting the degree is
13:19definitely not a scam by any means but
13:21with that being said you don't actually
13:24have to get the degree in order to get
13:26into certain careers now there are some
13:28advantages for instance sometimes when
13:30companies lay people off they'll lay the
13:32people off who do not have a degree and
13:34so you might have a little bit better
13:35job security if you do go ahead and get
13:37a college degree but with that being
13:39said we have literally been helping
13:40people get into Information Technology
13:42help desk roles in seven days 10 days 14
13:45days and a lot of the time less than a
13:47month and these are people who started
13:48off with absolutely zero experience and
13:50we're getting them jobs and a lot of
13:52technology related degrees do fall into
13:54this category where you can get the
13:56degree and it's going to be a good
13:57choice but there might actually be a
13:59better choice and by the way if you're
14:01wondering whether the bachelor degree
14:02that you're thinking about going into is
14:04worth it or not I actually ranked the
14:05top 100 most common bachelor's degrees
14:07from s tier which is the best to F tier
14:09which is the worst and you can check
