1. There IS NO DREAM JOB. focus on doing stuff you like and are good at. if you don't particularly like anything, do general stuff and then start digging deep if it pleases you 2. your career is a group of different things. (yt + job + teaching). you can make your own dream career by doing multiple things that satisfy you tips: 1. start small. prioritize 2. be consistent 3. giving up doesn't mean failure. if you don't feel like it's the best for you, move on 4. don't place too much importance on a single choice

Thank you for sharing steps in this process!

A professor once told me " Focus on what's possible in order to reach what's better. If you focus on what's better you'll break". I feel overwhelmed sometimes because of the family expectations and responsibilities but I guess I don't have to think too far into the future :) .. Also I am soo so happy for you regarding the KZread income 🌻 I'm glad to see quality content being rewarded to people who deserve it ❤️

My thought process changed from the idea of having a dream job to living a fulfilling life about 6 years ago now. I hope this video helps you all get there too.

The dream career is the one you build! Great advice Tina! I think a lot of people could benefit from being more introspective about where they are, what they would like, and how they can bring those two things together over time.

*Wall of text incoming* I needed to watch this video as it's very fitting for where I am in life. I'm 25 and always had a passion for technology and wanting to build things since I was a kid, namely videogames. This dream slowly died as I got older due to a lot of doubt and feeling like I wasn't good enough. I ended up going to college for social work because I thought tech would be "too hard for someone like me" even though I finished top 20 in my class in high school and got accepted to all the universities I applied to xD. I didn't even get through my first semester of college before I realizing "I hate this major". I told my parents and they basically forced me to stay because they were pulling out so much money to keep me in school (poor family... still don't know why they didn't just let me do community college tbh). Rough situation that led me to falling into some serious depression. I somehow pushed through and got my degree and as soon as I graduated I tried becoming a counselor. I still didn't like what I was doing but was WAY too afraid to face the truth since I invested 4 years into pushing through to get my degree. I eventually got counseling through my church that helped me with my mental health and the feeling of anger that I had towards my parents for not letting me change majors or schools. From there I quit my job and grabbed a random job at Whole Foods just to make some money. I was so lost and needed something to give me direction. Shortly afterwards, I met someone from my men's group at my church who's been doing full-stack web development for over 10 years and basically had a long talk with him about my interest in what he did. He told me through code you could build things like apps, websites, and even videogames and I was like WHAT I thought coding was only for the hacker Matrix type stuff lol. He pretty much set me up with the classes that I'm now taking, how to learn without making a lot of rookie mistakes (tutorial hell), and offered to be my mentor. Since then, i've been on the self-taught web development route and am finally choosing to take control of my life and career. Here's the goals I have set for myself in regards to what I want to do: - Get hired as a web developer for a company so I can get paid and still learn lol - Make an indie game and release it on Steam as well as other platforms if it does well - Content creation (KZread) - Teach classes on how to code once I get good, a lot of people in my neighborhood have really crappy education as well as little money so it would be nice to offer something like this to them. I'd also wanna release an online class through a place like Udemy! - Start my own business - Still use my skills that I have gotten in my degree and incorporate that into making a project or app that can help people with mental health issues/helping them to get their life on track TL;DR - Take control of your life and your career, it'll be so worth it when you find joy in the things that you do!

To anyone reading this, here's some advice from someone who's been through making all the wrong choices with my studies and career: Know what you want. REALLY know what you want, and don't compromise on it. Stand up for yourself and know when to quit when things aren't working out. If you're uncomfortable around your colleagues, or if you feel like your work isn't want you hoped it would be, figure out how you can get out of that spot. I'll tell you now, it'll only end in misery. I wasted three years in what I eventually realized was a really toxic workplace and it absolutely wasn't worth it.

I was in the exact situation for three years, too. But when you suffer from anxiety and imposter syndrome, you're never sure if it's the workplace that is toxic or your brain that is overreacting. Plus, if you've always been miserable at any job you've been to, than something must be wrong with you - I think to myself. Anyways, currently unemployed, yes that work drained the happiness out of me but the anxiety of being unemployed and never being sure of WHAT I WANT is getting worse with each day. The longer I stay unemployed, the lower my expectations fall and this is a cycle that leaves me searching for any job I could get my hands to, which in return leaves me miserable. Dammit!

@@melnjada2 Hello, sorry to hear about the situation you are in.:) One little piece of advice, try to visualize your ideal self, what kind of work is that person doing? You need to see the big picture clearly at first (what would truly bring you satisfaction?), then figure out the steps to get as close as possible towards that vision. When working towards that vision, there will be A LOT of failure for sure. And I mean a lot. What's important is really sticking to working towards that goal, regardless of how many failures or hardships you go through (because after 99 failures, there will be 1 win). Also, it's absolutely ok to take breaks (in order to prioritize your health) as long as you get back to it. Having an ideal in mind that you believe in will bring you comfort when times are hard. It's important, however, to make sure not to compromise too much (i.e.do not give up trying to do what you really want, just because you don't believe you can do it), so you don't end up feeling miserable again. You can do it. You absolutely can do it.

After having one of the roughest weeks and questioning everything about everything, whilst feeling as if I could cry forever; this video was incredibly soothing to watch, you are such an Angel, thank you so so much 🤍

I feel like this is a video I needed to see. I'm a self-taught software dev who's been struggling a bit to find work, and I've been deciding whether or not I should go to uni and just get the degree and take on the debt I wanted to avoid getting. I keep teetering back and forth between "if I just put in some more effort and be patient I can finally land that dream FAANG job without the debt" and "nobody will even look at my resume without a degree so stop wasting time and just get the piece of paper." I definitely have big entrepreneurial aspirations that I've just been waiting to find the right idea for. Maybe it's time to just do it and see what happens.

This is a great message, every person's path is unique and too often is influenced by just following other's decisions

So I graduated in May and started working June. I struggle for almost 5 months to enjoy my job. Luckily I work at a tiny startup so I took every opportunity to try new technologies. It was exhausting but when I finally found things I liked it was so worth it and all the burnout vanished because I was working on something that I enjoyed. I realized that if I don’t grab my career by the horns and make it mine, its all on me and no one else.

I cannot find the words to express how much did I need to hear all of that. I’m currently doing two undergrads, Economics and French philology, whilst being an aspiring singer-songwriter and everyday there’s that tiny bit of guilt and shame that I’m ‘distracting’ myself by pursuing all of these fields instead of specialising myself within one. Especially when there are ppl out there saying ‘man, you’re low-key wasting your time...’. The concept of dream job implies that there’s an ultimate and static goal in your life and I’m not willing to adhere to it. My goal has always been to be multidimensional, have an impact and grow every day, so thank you for ensuring me that it’s a valid way of living🥰

I just discovered your channel, I’m 19 and a uni student, and im also doing computer science, I really needed this, im gonna check out more of your content! glad there are people like you on the KZread community

I totally feel like throughout all of college and high school, i was just so UNSURE and scared to commit to one role/career path. So much so that I just never made a decision. Now I have a degree in psychology and work in special education. I feel deeply that I need to pivot and take on a different type of role in a different industry lol With that said, thank you so much Tina. Your tips and your story have really inspired me :)

Listening to your thoughts is delightful in so many degrees! Thanks for sharing!! I will be digging up through your reflections, dreaming in fact is a relevant key point, either for the bad or the good, or even both at the same time.

The timing and degree to which this resonants with me, at this moment in time, is uncanny. The way you crystallized certain concepts was incredibly helpful, and I'll definitely be thinking about these things in the days and weeks to come -- thank you!

Really loved the video and your material all around. Getting postured for some new occupational endeavors in the relatively near future. Found this video pretty encouraging. Keep up the great work!

I resonate so much with you Tina! I feel so connected to every point you elaborated. Thank you for this video! This is one of my favourite KZread channels.

love this. Been coding for almost 2 months now and the exploration definitely keeps me focused in life right now. Your videos help so much!

having begun a new journey recently after an old one ended, I often think that my progress is coming along very slowly, and I don't see the end of the tunnel. but I also realize that perhaps there is no end. perhaps it is a continuous cycle of learning, applying, sometimes failing and sometimes succeeding. I appreciate your insights, and these videos do help me along the way. Thank you.

Thank you so much Tina for creating this video. I finally found someone with the same profession and someone I could relate to. Your videos help me so much to move forward in life.

So relatable and feels very achievable based on how you break it down. I love how you say to just start simple. I think sometimes attempting multiple streams of income in the way you do to balance creativity (to satisfy self growth) and also maintain stability (with full time job) is what we all want but get scared of die to overthinking. I’m so glad i subscribed to your channel. Love the content

When someone explanation matches your thinking that is really effective to gather advice from that person. I really appreciate your knowledge sharing. thank you. Hope you explain the reality that you face in your learning process.

Tina, you are probably the most wholesome and lovely youtuber I watch and it's always a joy to rewatch. I always leave feeling inspired and go and do something. Thanks!

I literally just started reading Atomic Habits, very good book. And I must say this video is such a great input to that, this title is exactly what I am struggling with right now. Really grateful for this content, thank you.

thank you tina

I rarely comment on video’s but I just wanted to say, your video’s have helped me so much in terms of collecting my thoughts and figuring out what I want to do instead of what I feel like I “need” to do. I’ve watched countless data science YT channels as well as a number of self-helpish channels and I have to say, your channel is the only one I come back to on a regular basis because the content is so great. Authenticity and genuine curiosity really shines through a lot of the bs on YT and the internet in general, its really easy to figure out if someone is truly trying to express themselves or just trying to push out random clickbait content and your channel definitely feels genuine. Keep up the great work, Tina! Every video notification = instant dopamine rush ❤️

One of the most eye-opening video I have watched lately, thank you Tina!

I'm at a point in my life where your videos have been resonating a lot with what's going on and you, speaking about your trajectory, bring me a sense of peace and calm so thank you for that!! +1 sub

Woooooow I needed this. Especially the bit about 'moving on isn't failing'. I'm interested in so many things and the amount of things I haven't 'finished' had been weighing on me. Thank you

Thank you so much for this advice! The last one "Not taking life too seriously" is so true.. Thinking that everything is so important and crucial really puts a lot of pressure that doesn't even have to be there

Love this video. I wasn't aware all this time a career is something I need to look into, not just a good job. It's true that jobs in the past serve as stepping stones for a good career.

What you're saying from 9:13 is amazing to hear Tina! You deserve it. I came across your channel a while ago when you had a few thousand subs and now you're almost at 200k. That means your content adds value and your audience will grown organically. Just a matter of time before the YT revenue will support you completely :)

This the first time I'm watching someone on KZread that has soooo similar struggles like mine! Thankyousomuch this video has helped so much in figuring out some of those problems.

Thanks Tina for making the share concrete and touching! I’m preparing to transfer job from a research position to data scientist and I do have many doubts and questions for myself. What you said, gain the skills to become confident with yourself, truly knocked the door of my doubts. One thing I noticed is that you mentioned quite some books. I would be really interested in listening to your story about “reading habit”

Loved the video. I've been watching your videos because I'm exploring if I should try for a career in tech, and then this video came up and it's perfect for my situation right now. I really liked your approach, very realistic. Subscribed!

Thank you, your content is awesome. I know I'm in the right place when viewing because you always mention stuff I think and feel, as well as speak. People think I'm a mad man lol: financial, freedom, adapt, move on, etc. I'm not alone on being "crazy" 🤪. 2-5 years, idk 🤷🏻‍♂️ I wanna be free and happy

Thanks so much for the high-quality video. It essentially gives me the guidance I need and makes me think about my ultimate career goal vs. current / next job. Sometime I feel the future is quite uncertain. I agree I can never find a dream job, but I might formulate the career success into different sub-goals, and track the regression towards final goal.

Wow I really needed to hear everything you said in this video! Thank you!

I love that you are at the point where you could almost live off your KZread income! that is one of my goals as well!

Honestly you are so inspiring. It's great to see women in tech. I sometimes feel really lost and overwhelmed by the decisions I have to make in life. And I have no clue where my life is going and I feel like I should have figured it out. I was really burned-out lately but advise like this keeps me going. I don't have to decide everything. Just the next step and it doesn't need to fulfill everything I want but just enough for me to be happy.

Thank you so much. I really needed to hear all of that today! Sometimes obvious things are the hardest to figure out

Tina. I love you, u always hit the nail on the head. What u said at 12:10 was speaking right to me 🥺 200k in a bit!!! 🎉

I recently discovered your channel and I really like it. I'm currently doing my bachelor's degree in CS. I never really thought about what to do in the future or what kind of job I want to do. I just choosed computer science because I thought it's pretty cool and now I'm stuck what I really want to or love to do. It's so hard for me to figure it out. I actually searched my future job based on highest salary and future demand. But your video really changed my mind. So I will continue explore to see what I really want or love to do...😀Thank you so much for your advice and love you a lottt....❤️

Woow.. I won’t comment so much on the content itself, like the great reference to the atomic habits book which I personally use like a bible or the fact that I’m sync with you about what great time it is to be alive with so much freedom and free information to help us choose our careers. I’ll just say that for me this is the most mature video you’ve done so far and your improvement in the content since you started the channel is showing up. As with everything, you can always tell if a person enjoys what they’re doing and that’s crystal clear about you and youtube! You’re shining! So well done and you totally deserve becoming successful on youtube through this channel!

Gosh! I have never seen a KZreadr that I relate to as much as you! Thank you for this!

I’m actually doing this currents , the things you mentioned at the end and it’s been working for me for the past 7 months now

Thank you for that video Tina you helped me a lot.

Hi Tina, I’ve just started watching your videos recently and I must say that I find your insights really helpful! I just started grad school in a field that combines classic molecular research with AI (deep learning). The fact that you talked about multi-disciplinary stuff being interesting to you resonated with me a lot. At first I was worried I couldn’t cope with this field I chose being from a more classical ME background (I did do some AI stuff on the side in my undergrad but I was exploring a lot hence didn’t hone my skillsets that much in any particular branch of AI), but hearing your experiences was really inspirational since you didn’t come from a tech background. Your approach that you mentioned towards the end of the video really opened up my mind that I cannot be too worried about the masters program I chose, I was worried that this might doom my future prospects of getting a career in tech (should I decide to not pursue academia). Instead, what you mentioned about learning and building skillsets that can allow you to adapt to any job (or the job you want) quickly, that is really helpful and practical advice. I was struggling to learn new stuff in masters as a lot of it is still new to me and my anxiety has been ramping up haha. Your advice made me want to learn this new knowledge with more consistency, and once I am stable and more confident in it I will explore data science or other knowledge I find interesting. Again, thank you so much for the inspiration!

Tina, thank you for your videos, they are always so on point!

The takes from this video are quite useful, considering that the concept of career has drastically changed over the years. My father used to tell me that we have the opportunities and flexibilities he couldn't even dream of when he was my age.

we are alike in so many ways, i like many things but i've never been excellent in ONE specific thing, i want a life worth living (bc why bother staying otherwise). i was - and still am - very lost and afraid right now and i don't know yet what i expect from life but watching your videos really motivated me to try to do my best everyday, not necessarily for my job aspirations but for my career (i liked the way you defined it by the way). i think your videos are what made me realise that there is much more to life than just the job we choose. i will be completely honest and admit that i am still very much afraid of life and the difficulty it seems to be and most of the time i struggle finding the will to put so much effort in a life that doesn't seem so rewarding but i will try to my best (to be noted that i suffer from depression and other mental illnesses so don't absorb my perception and make it yours, you who read that comment ^^). in any way, i wish you all a good life

Hey Tina, another great presentation on some great topics. I took a five year hiatus from the business and upon returning was blown away by the changes, advancements, etc... I love your channel and your style. My biggest tip to YOU would be, learn when to disconnect/decompress. This, is the toughest thing for an entrepenur mindset yet the one thing you need to continually remind yourself of. Burnout, is real and the toll it takes can be significant. I absolutely LOVE all the irons you have in the fire and your passion for discovery and learning. Keep it up, keep sharing the journey. Thank you.

I like what you said about being able to adapt Tina, because that's what we are! 🙌 Our brains isn't fully developed when we came out into this world. That's one great skill to develop because this may sound cliché, but the only constant in life is change. So as Bruce Lee said, "Be like water, my friend". 😁

I am sure many of them on the verge of starting their careers get to watch this video and understand that designing their own career goals and working towards them every day is the only DREAM that is going to be fulfilling, achievable and definitely worthy. It is at times overwhelming that I want to work around my passion for writing, my enthusiasm for Data Analysis, my love for languages. But after watching this video, it only confirms my validation that I can do things that I love doing at my pace and keep gaining the required skills. Thank you for this one.

“Maybe you don’t know what to do with your life when you grow up, but, you’re already grown up..” Jesus Christ my heart

11:50 Haha that was me, I procrastinated a lot prior to starting my own KZread journey. Inspiring video Tina! Glad to hear that you’ve built a dream career for yourself and that your on track to perhaps a full-time KZreadr job :)

Self-employment. Start your own company. Everything you do accrues to your wealth. It's certainly mores stressful and the hours seem longer (but not if you enjoy what you do).

This is really a great way to look at career..you saved me from a big misconception of mine related to this ..

We will see how it will work out and I know it won't bomb my career. Better find some motivation now than go through a giant burn in a year or 2.
