    I'm going headed off to college at the University of Michigan to study Aerospace Engineering this Fall, and as someone with no experience, connections, or real idea of what to expect I can't tell you how valuable these videos are. Please keep them up, they're greatly appreciated!

    is your friend a Houthi-American or a Sunni-American? I am a Wahabi-Swedish-American born in a no-go zone near Stockholm and "dated" Greta (non-consensually) which makes me a Scandanavian-American, right? what do you both think my chances of getting the required clearances for a DFC (Diverse-First-Class) job

    Hey Shaq, im making a career switch and started a second degree in electrical engineering. My first degree was in information technology which does compare to engineering courses. Im afraid to move forward enrolling in the courses because I'm afraid of failing. Any advice on how to overcome this?

    Hello, Thanks for watching my channel and reaching out. Fear of failure is understandable. I would say the first step is to have a plan and research study habits of engineers who have completed 4 year degrees on google and KZread. There’s so much info out there now that I wish I had going into college. You have to believe in yourself before you do anything in life. As long as you develop healthy study habits you will be fine. In fact you’ll find school to be trivial. Go to every class. Review your notes immediately after each class. Summarize your class notes in bullet points for major topics in just a few words. Start each homework assignment the day it’s assigned. It ok if you don’t complete all of it in one day. Understand that engineering is difficult and it’s normal to work on one problem for hours at a time so don’t give up easily. Go to office hours for anything you’re stuck on. Study minimum 30 hours a week. Break it up into multiple sessions a day so that you don’t burn out. There’s no secret to success. Just believe in yourself and develop discipline. Hope that helps!

    ​@@ShaqJonesKnight Thank you so much for taking the time to write back. I suffer from depressive disorders, and I'm just starting to learn how to ask for help. I'm going to take a screenshot of your comment and save it to my desktop to remind myself when things start to feel challenging. Your comment gave more tools to add to my toolbelt which made me more motivated to start my healing process and push forward. Again thank you so much!
