This video was everything that I've wanted to say but couldn't quite place my finger on -- especially now as a second year studying International Business and Marketing but originally wanting to go to art school. Degrees don't define us and the market is ever changing now especially with technology. Thank you for the reminder and encouragement!! Congrats on almost graduating!

basically... if you plan to be extremely involved in a company's structure and if you want to start your own business, studying business will give you a good foundation to understand what goes on. Sure, you can learn it online but experiencing it first-hand with professionals, professors and being provided with internship opportunities can really help you. Plus, having a hobby and skill means other business students will approach you for your talents, its a great way to practice and engage with others as if they were your clients. Overall, it will never be a waste if you keep a 'grow where you are planted' mindset.

Man. I hope you see this. I’m a freshmen, and I’ve been having major anxiety attacks because I love film but want the security of majoring in something else. Everyone has been pushing me to still major in films because that’s what I want to pursue, but I have other interests and want to keep all of my doors open. I’m a certified emt and I love psychology! As a fellow Asian American who also wants to pursue film but has other interests, thank you so much for this. This video has finally given me a peace of mind after months and months of troubling thoughts. 💖💖💖

You don't need a degree to be a artist, on top of the technical skills, the creativity and drive to see your passion through holds a heavier bearing to a art career. And also how you market and connect the dots to profit out of it.

This video was most definitely an eye opener. What really resonated with me was when you mention professor Galloway advise to have two area of expertises. In the long run, I can see having such skills can be beneficial. I plan on being a professional actress, however I’m going to major in film/media studies. I feel as if, it will provide me a greater depth of knowledge surrounding the industry whether it learning about the pre or post production aspect. While as the same time pursuing my dream to become an actress. I absolutely adore the technical and creative side of the film industry!

thank you for this. I really needed to hear this because I’ve been struggling to what I wanna do. I always liked making videos and editing, but I felt like it can get competitive later on and won’t work out. I’ve talked to a college counselor and they mentioned marketing and at the time I didn’t understand how it related to making videos. Now I understand. Media has changed a lot throughout the years and not only having the skills in filmmaking, but business you can really more open doors in the future. However, I don’t I’m much of a business person, so I gotta figure out that other skill...or maybe I should take some classes about business. I never know if I don’t try it out lol

I got a degree in film now I am gonna get a diploma in business. I agree it was expensive but the practical knowledge was worth it and the connections. I can't go out and rent a Film camera and get all the experience I got by being on sets and making weird student films. But I have to agree with ROI as it is a really slow process to get into the industry even if you have studied film. GREAT VIDEO !! keep it up..

Great video! For those who are already enrolled and close to finishing an undergrad that may not be the most employable out of the gate, Point #4 Stand Out can also be applied for those considering grad studies. Rather than pursuing grad studies in the same discipline, one should consider doing it in a different field to help yourself stand out.

Think your thought process is quite interesting. I'm a film student from Germany, currently being in 4th semester doing my bachelor. I always knew, since I was a kid at the age of 10, that I have to do something creative for a living. So I started doing videos at the age of 11 and kept on going. I the first 3 semesters we mainly had classes about the actual film making, which I learned a lot from, although I knew a lot of things before i started studying. In the 4th semester we started focusing on the business part of the job, which is quite interesting too. I never thought, that it could be interesting in any sort of way, because I always wanted to focus on telling stories, because that's what I'm best at. I'll be done with my school at march of 2021 and then I want to focus even more on my story telling capabilities as a DoP. So I'm going to study cinematography at another university. An interesting thing I've noticed through out my time in university is, that it sometimes felt like being a duty, because it became my job. I still love it and I love working on set and telling stories in the visual way, but it sort of lost the hobby character for me personally. :) I just found your channel on a KZitem recommendation, due to your hair cutting video (haven't tried it yet ;D). So I have been looking around your channel and I found this video and it made me think. Like I said in the beginning, I thing your thought process is interesting and I do really understand it. But your video showed me, that for me and my personal situation and plans for my life, I took the right decision. I just want to thank you, because I started thinking a bit and it felt good to be confirmed in your own decisions, even it's yourself confirming them. I'll be sticking around at this channel and I'm curious what else I'll find here. :D Wish you a great time and in particular stay healthy. :)

Wow man this is stange... I live in Italy and this are the same reasons why I choose Psychology over film school at the university. Now i moved to Rome to enhance my studies in Psychology of communication and marketing. I made this choice also beacuse in Rome its easyer to make conection in the field of cinema... Furthermore I increased the consciousness that having other studies opens you the mind to different points of view and approaches, maybe also more innovative. Good to see that there are similar perspectives around the world! Good luck man!

This is such a valuable video for me to see right now. I'm in a similar boat, second year of business school with a passion for art. I spent a lot of time in high school studying and kind of ignoring my art because I didn't think it was as valuable for my future but these days I always wonder what would have happened if I had put my all into art instead of studying. It's a huge relief to hear from someone else who loves the arts but went to business school and it's definitely been advantageous at times to have my art side in business school, especially when it comes to presentations and making posters or one-pagers. Congrats on finishing your degree! I look forward to more content from you ^^

None of the hype and loud mouth drama attached to some supposedly popular youtubers.

I did the same thing but feel the opposite. Business school was a lot of obvious stuff or stuff you can easily learn on your own I felt like. A lot of theory that is not super applicable in modern world. I feel like film school would've been way better but also not necessary either. What I mean by this is that I personally never made a ton of narrative based films/short film content and that would've been a learning and fun experience I feel like to do with friends/peers. Also the networking aspect of it is huge. But also I have gotten in the digital media space without film school and know many who have done the same, and thats why I say its unnecessary but could be helpful.

Imagine if i attended business school when i was young, it might be challenging at first, but after 10 years, maybe i could own a business now...

Bruh I actually wanted to ask you last video what you majored in at university, but I didn't in the end and now you come with this video hahaha. I was curious because I saw your video where you did an internship and I thought this does not look like a company a film major would intern at. Now it all makes sense. Film is also my passion, but I didn't choose that as my major either. But my reason was that I was too scared to follow my passions because I thought I wouldn't be able to find a job if I chose a major in the arts... I ended up studying Chinese because I liked learning languages and I thought knowing Mandarin would come in handy one day. There were many times I wanted to drop out, not because I didn't like my studies, I just didn't like school, I wanted to make art. But I finished my studies and after all I'm happy I did, because now I have a topic to talk about on my channel.

I’m only a second year in business school and I absolutely hate it. I’ve wanted to be an actor and filmmaker since high school but the drama club wasn’t too kind to actors of color and the film club barely existed. I’ve felt like for the last year and a half I could’ve been in a BFA program for drama school or film school and spent four wonderful years immersing myself in the one thing I know I want to do in my life, but it’s super inspiring to see people make informed decisions. A business degree never hurt anybody, but at least you have such an incredibly well thought out plan to make your dreams a reality. More power to you!

Yeah, well having a degree in film doesn't promise work and income. Without connections in the film industry you have no future. When I was a teenager I didn't have options in film making, but I did get to do acting in drama class. Till today I love and enjoy acting. I think it was a mistake not going into acting school, because I went to film school. I'd have at least oppurtunities as an actor than creating indie films I don't get paid for because there are almost no filmmakers in my area. Right now my next step is taking acting classes, later major in business and when time is here, I'll want to major in film production so I could teach.
