Which college degrees have the highest dropout rates? That is going to be the topic of today’s video. College dropout rates are a topic that aren’t discussed enough in my opinion as it’s a great indicator that something is wrong with either the major itself, or the university that you’re getting the degree from.
So what percent of people drop out of university? About 40%, probably much higher than you expected. Now some of them dropout because they wanted to switch universities or other miscellaneous random life reasons that have nothing to do with the school or the degree. But a significant amount of them end up quitting because they’re taking one of the hardest college degrees and they’re stressed, or because the expectation that they had in their head of what the major was going to be like was totally different than the reality, or because they realize (after spending a lot of money on college tuition usually) that the degree isn’t going to lead them to getting a job in that field, and they’re essentially getting paid to learn things they could study for free online (No seriously, you can take the same classes from the best universities in the world online for free with the same lectures, textbooks, and tests, you just don’t get the degree at the end.)
So how many people drop out of college every year? Over a million. And one thing that can be really tough about dropping out is if you don’t finish your college degree, unfortunately, you still have to pay the student loans you took out.
And what degree has the highest dropout rate? Well, you’ll have to watch the video to see, but go ahead and guess below!
Enjoy :)

Quick comment on career choice. I was a welder, went to college for business/software, ended up being an entrepreneur for 20 years. Then went into STEM for 6, now I work on process water for life science. Point is this. Interest changes, life changes, you meet people, opportunities arise. His advice is right on this however, shadow people and get an idea. But the truth is, change is inevitable, growth is optional. And to all the 20 something’s out there, enjoy the journey guys, it’s super fun. Don’t sweat it, your degree is the first step on a really long staircase; as you rise the view gets better.

I got a 4.0 in all my master’s classes but I failed my internship, so I didn’t get my degree. I worked several poverty level jobs after grad school. The stress of poverty led to me becoming disabled. But because I am disabled, I was able to get all my student loans forgiven (I had 105K in loans) and I got a full scholarship to go back to school for a second degree. I chose to go for computer science. It is very hard but I love it.

I just got my degree in Computer Science, and what I will say, is the dropout rate I believe is a combination of people who see it as good money, people who know a bit about programming and want to prove it with a degree, and a combination of the two. There are more factors, but those are the major ones. I went into CS because I already had been programming some things and thought I was pretty good at it. I was mildly decent at best, looking back, and considering no formal training. I wasn't great like I thought I was. Computer Science is more than just being a code monkey, and that is a big pitfall people fall into if they know how to code and want to do it professionally. Being a computer scientist isn't writing code, it's being a problem solver that can break down ANY problem into fundamental parts, construct a solution for these parts of the problem, and in the end, find a solution for the problem as a whole. It is very complicated and requires intense critical thinking. I had to take courses I didn't even know what they meant going it. Formal Languages in particular is VERY complicated and demands intense study, critical thinking, and seriously turning your gears to make sense of it all. TL:DR - Computer Science =/= code monkey. Computer Scientists are some of the most skilled problem solvers on the planet, and THAT is what you are earning. Programming is just a tool, that's it. Computer Science is FAR beyond writing some code to make a computer do stuff. Anyone could do that.

@wolfworks7339 11 ай бұрын

I agree with that. I'd be willing to bet that most of the dropouts take place in the second year too, once people get past the basic programming classes and have to start learning how to be software engineers instead of just coders.

I’m majoring in CS and doing a minor in Math. I, like everyone else, had the expectation that CS is mostly applied, but I was extremely wrong. From my entire first year in CS, I can strongly say that Computer Science does not equal Computer Programming. Something I like to say is: Programming is a tool in Computer Science like Math is a tool in Physics. What CS truly is is (in a nutshell) is Mathematical Theory of Computation (which is made up of countless sub-subjects that gradually increase in intensity amongst the 4 years in Uni). Unless you know for a fact that you have a strong interest in Algorithms, Discrete Math, AI… I would strongly suggest you don’t go for this path and opt for other alternatives

These statistics must be formally declared majors, because many enter college thinking their going to be an engineer, than take a few classes in these areas and choose another major to declare. In physics we had around 20+ students coming in saying they were going to major in it, but we graduated 5 per year.

And unlike other fields like this (example: education), this one is actually hard. So you’re doing all the work of a hard science major with none of the career payoff. Bad combo.

I think the dropout rate for Business is high for a couple additional reasons. First, it seems to be a major that if you don't know what major you want to do you default to a business major because it is useful. So, while not the most difficult major, there are a lot of math classes, statistics classes as well as classes such as econ where you are using applied math and a lot of reports and presentations that need to be done. So it ends up being a bit more difficult than the "I don't know what I want to do crowd" thinks and there is little motivation to put in the work.

If you don't have work experience, you're college will be educating you with information that is a year or more out of date. (And if you're at a good school with a professor in demand, a T.A PhD. Student will be teaching classes who may or may not actually have teaching experience OR relevant knowledge in their feild.) While this is not always the case, getting schooled by the perpetual student who couldn't find a job and thinks more schooling is marketable will leave you well behind being taught by someone who genuinely made good connections and good grades to back up their understanding of the subject.

My undergraduate experience was at a small liberal arts college. Based on that experience, most of these numbers seem low, except for business. What was typical was people leaving computer science, physics, biology, etc., usually because of the rigor, and moving to business administration. Engineering was offered only through a cooperative arrangement with the nearby state university, which didn't make much sense to me. Many also transferred to the state university whose campus was literally two blocks away, usually because of cost. I made it through with a physics degree, and got into a Ph.D. program at a high-prestige private university. One of the professors there told me that they tend to accept more students with better outcomes who have succeeded at a smaller school like that than even from the Ivy+ schools.

And as stated in the video, it has the highest dropout rate in the U.S. If getting a job that is high pay is easy, then the competition is extreme. Getting a degree in a field that isn't exactly common makes you immediately stand out from the crowd as someone who actually cares about what they want to do as a living. Landing a 75k salary job isn't going to fall in your lap. It takes time and dedication, and in my case, sweat and tears to finish a degree and prove my worth. Work hard and prove yourself as being above the crowd. EVERYONE has the capability to do it, but it's only those who actually do it that end on the high ground.

I tried computer science for 2 years but considered switching since it's way too hard. Originally wanted to go in for game development but I hate programming, fortunately I'm better at math. I read online industrial engineering is one of the easiest engineering degrees, any advice I should know before going in it?

@@progamerzach1 Ask the university counselor to test for mechanical reasoning. If you have low aptitude in mechanical reasoning, it's not advisable to go into engineering in ANY capacity. You can possess a very high aptitude in math while simultaneously possessing a low aptitude in mechanical reasoning. So, be careful!

It can actually be very difficult to find someone to shadow in the medical field but okay

@katydid5088 Жыл бұрын

Call the hospital and put in a volunteer form. They need to see you first and there are HUGE c.y.a issues that they need to cover before you are allowed to be in the room with a patient. Doubly so if you shadow someone inside an O.R. An E.R is also not likely or Psyche is not going to let you hang around but urgent care might. Family Medicine or Sonography/Radiology/and Dentistry are easier, as is Fire and Rescue with EMT services.

So if hiring a boot camper is better than hiring a cs grad. Why are we cs majors wasting our time then? Why shouldn't we drop out and just go a few month bootcamp?

@kylesizemore2751 Жыл бұрын

A cs degree will get you in the door for an interview basically anywhere and with higher pay. The problem is most of what you're learning is useless. It's basically a problem solver's specialist degree kindof like mathematics but with coding sprinkled in for flavor. Ultimately companies will need to teach you how to use their specific work environment tools regardless of where you came from. Bootcamps will quickly teach you how to use specific tools and environments which makes you competitive for lower level positions and maybe even more desirable than a CS major who only knows C and java or python from their classes. Only the best of the best bootcampers will outpace a CS major as they lack the rigorous problem solving skill set and they are less likely to get interviewed in the first place by certain businesses. (I have a CS degree and I'm one of 2 CS majors at my current company. I make more than most of the technical graduates despite doing similar work and I was promoted to mid level in just a year as apposed to 5)

And it doesn’t matter when you graduate just be a lifelong learner and you will make it. Lack of maturity, misconceptions about “majors” are the biggest causes of dropping out. Steve Jobs dropped out… there’s a lot to be said about hands on real world experience

Just because a college hungry for your money will let you sign up for a bunch of CS and EE courses doesn't mean you will actually pass them. At my college the two big filters were intro coding courses for babies where class would start with 100 people and end with 30-50 and then 3 years in with a test that was basically "if you can't pass this, you're an IT major now" which 50% of people failed (you get 3 tries). Not to say nursing isn't demanding and difficult in its own way but most people will never be capable of completing a cs or ee degree.

being a medical doctor with a speciality degree and now getting accepted to a subspecialty/fellow degree let me tell you the career is very difficult. from 120 freshman when I enter to medschool, only 12 got strait to finish it, and 3 years later other 14 people, that means that only 21% got graduate from MD. Plus, if you get to enter from a medical specialty from those 26, only 9 we applied and got accepted to course a medical specialty, that means that onky 34% made a medical specialty, and from those 9 specialist only 2 (that include myself) to a medical subspecialty/fellow , only 22% would got to the top of a the field in this proffession. And I didnt include all the filters and constant evaluation that are made throught the career. That all, greetings from Hispanic America.
