this condition is same in india but the harsh road bump added to indian students is that most of the top indian eng. colleges either dont allow to switch the department or the change would be a competition it self as all the lower branch ( as per the present mindset of students) or even core branch students in engineering just want to switch to CSE

Hi , Nice video,is this the San Jose branch or Seattle?

So joie, you are now a tiktok engineer after quitting bio medical engineering? Tell me how it feels? Are you satisfied? And still do you think it is worthy to quit BME for computer science? Actually I'm pretty confused about which Engineering should I choose for Master’s as I recently have finished my undergrad on EEE. Can you give me some opinion or something?

hey brother! love the vid❤

😂real life overcooked. That must be an absolute mess

I want to take biomedical engineering. But i already have 2 courses.

Hi there, I just got an offer and would love to learn more. Would you be open to chat??

How's the WLB there?

you guys are only focusing on the JOBS, not on what you really Love or passionate about!

I'm an incoming freshman thinking about double majors and if I should consider one, since it seems advantageous on the surface. This was really helpful in educating me as to why I would need a really, *really* compelling reason to. Thanks for this video.

Hi Joie. You fret to much. LOL There are no bad STEM majors unless you’re solely focused on STEM. As an undergraduate your job is to learn how to learn. Specialization can come with graduate school or a professional apprenticeship. With a sound liberal arts education you can learn anything and develop the imagination to apply and innovate. It’s all up to you. When you hit the real world so much of what you learned in college won’t apply but it will be a deep well for you to draw upon. My father was a physician and my mother was a Tiger Mom. Because I had a natural talent in the life sciences it was always assumed I would follow my father’s footsteps. My mother was a harridan about education. It was always about getting A’s and social status. I was never motivated by either. In fact I could have cared less about either. I was more interested in applying what I learned. Fortunately my Father got that but he still had that expectation that I was going to follow his footsteps into the Medical dodge. So I was under tremendous pressure to get into medical school. Which I did. However I came to regret that decision as being a physician just wasn’t what I wanted. I didn’t want to follow daddy’s footsteps. I wanted to develop my own professional identity. I didn’t want to be constrained to working in a clinic or an office or worst of all…being chained to a desk. So before I started my second year of Medical School I withdrew from school and accepted a position with an environmental company. Needless to say my parents freaked out. Their view of the environmental field was some hippie chained to a tree to save a spotted owl. However it ended up working out well for me as I found my passion. I was able to travel all over the country and have all sorts of awesome experiences that I never would had tied to a desk or a clinic. I was working outside for the most part which was great and I was also learning some entrepreneurship too. In retrospect my parents and siblings attitudes was hilarious. I instantly became the failed, black sheep, never do well son of the family. At the time it wasn’t funny at all and because of their hostility towards my decision and any mention of my career would bring up harsh criticism and disappointment in my career choice. So I just kept my mouth shut and let them think what they wanted. So over the years I heard so many insulting and condescending comments about my career choice from my father and older brother. My mother accepted my decision with the air of I had just came out as gay. My brother stopped making his disparaging comments when he made one in front of my newlywed wife and I offered to rearrange his face. But dad persisted for years until one day I couldn’t take it anymore. He was telling me about a young physician he had met who had completed his residency and opened his practice in same professional office as my father. My father was telling me the guy had earned almost $200kpy his first year (this was back in the early 2,000’s.). He then went on a diatribe about how that could have been me if I had stuck out medical school. While Pops was ranting I let out a whistle and said “Dang Dad. That’s not to far off from what I’m earning.”. Pops kept ranting until it finally sunk in what I had said. He stopped, gave me a bewildered look and asked me to repeat what I had said, which I did. Of course he didn’t believe me. So I showed him my tax records and he was absolutely gobsmacked. He had no clue you could earn that kind of money from an Environmental career. To me though it was sad that it took something like money to earn his respect. To Pops credit he had a heart to heart talk to me and sincerely apologized to me for all his harsh criticism and disrespect he had shown over the years and that he was grieving that he had not once told me how proud he was of me until I had embarrassed him. Then he said those magic words “Son I’m proud of you and I’ve always been proud of you.”. I was walking on air for weeks afterwards. Anyway, sorry for the long story but I just wanted to illustrate that as long as you receive the benefits of a good education and you have talent, a vision, imagination an open mind and belief in yourself you will be successful in whatever major or career you choose. Earning a college degree is not a destination. It’s just a beginning for the limitless opportunities out there for young bright people like you. So don’t fret so much about your major. As long as you believe in yourself and listen to your heart and stick to your guns you will be successful no matter what you do. I guess the moral of my story is that those who say you can’t are almost always wrong and those who say you can are almost always right. I’m not going to wish you luck as I don’t think you need it. As long as you believe in yourself and your vision you can’t help but be successful.

Thanks for sharing. I dont think i can do a Full Courseload of STEM classes.

Do you guys help with locked accounts?

Eeh...had biomed as a prioty choice to start off by August...but jeez this scares me to continue with my decision...what do u guys think of mech eng....

I've been a software engineer since I graduated with my b.s. in computer science back in 2002. I'm pretty sure a masters degree wouldn't have helped me get to where I am at now. Although I suppose you might be able to argue that if I had a masters, I'd be even further along. But that's highly debatable. I will say that as someone whose interviewed candidates for software engineering positions, the first thing I look for is actual work experience. If the candidate has at least a bachelors in a related field, then that's good enough for me. Having said all of that, I'm now interested in finally getting my masters after 20 years. A local university here even offers a doctors of science in computer science, so that gives me something high to shoot for (one step at a time, though). However, I'm doing it out of purely personal reasons and not financial. Though, I'm sure having a masters (or even a doctorate) on my resume couldn't hurt. When I was researching more info about that doctors of science degree from that school, I came across a LinkedIn profile from somebody who has that degree. He now works as a lecturer at that school. Looking at the resume he posted on his profile, I saw that he barely has any actual work experience as a software developer in the industry. I dunno if this was intentional. As in, he always wanted to be a college professor and not actually have a dev career. If it's the latter, then I think that kind of illustrates the danger of staying in academia instead of going out into the field after getting your bachelors. Personally, if I were interviewing people, I would pay more attention to resumes that demonstrate actual skills. Degrees are really only useful for getting pass the HR weenies at companies. At the end of the day, skills is what matters most.

i have a question can you still finish college if you didnt take any AP classes in highschool?

I‘m an incoming ECE MS student at CMU. I am planning to take courses which approximates to have 50 hrs/week workload. My ad told me don't take courses that could have greater than 40 hrs/week workload. I am worried that I will be so struggling in my first semester. But after watching your vlog, I am thinking that maybe I can make it!

loved the video bro!

Pretty crazy that a video as high quality as this has 0 comments after years, I guess it’s because YT success is exponentially harder the less you upload

Cool video. I am 15 and have been programming for a few years, I know Javascript (and of course HTML and CSS with that) and Java. Could you make a video on what best to spend your time on before you start college, especially way before since that’s where I’m currently at? Right now I’m taking tons of AP classes, unsure whether it would be better not to do that and instead get better at programming in that time.

If this video is about "Day in the Life of a FANG Engineer", I think the views of it would be better...

Love the video. Could you do a video on what to expect for someone who is thinking about majoring in computer engineering?!

Great video, and great charisma

Im hearing the word 'basically' many times. Just a regular comment

Joie, it is so rare that a person gets to see that they have made the wrong career choice early on and pivot to a much better option like it happened for you. Kudos for listening to your own gut feelings and your professor who told you to get out of bme.

I have a 3.28 GPA and a B.Tech in Mechatronics Engineering. My domain of intrest is Prosthetics, Bionics and Biomechanics. I'm not sure which master's programme to choose between robotics and biomedical engineering. I'm also worried about whether my grades are good enough to get me into a good university. And yeah I'm also not that inclined in memorizing too much stuff.

Underrated channel

👍

Very interesting 🤔

Noice 👍

Just minor in something.

what language did u use in tech interviews?

what resume template did u use?

In biology you usually have to work towards a PhD to actually invent cool stuff. There's just too much to learn. Either you act as a sad underling to a PhD - or you're just a mechanical or electrical engineer that works in healthcare. Either way, unless you're getting your PhD I wouldn't recommend a bioengineering degree.

joiemoie I am so sorry

joiemoie is underrated

joiemoie I love you

If you complete your 2years Masters in 1, do you still get 3years stem otp?

I'm a sophomore in college studying BME and my experiences so far are very similar to yours. Thank you for the insightful information!

This was a good response video. BME is not bad, it just does not live up to the hype and is definitely less practical for classic engineering jobs. RIP me, I am about to finish my BME Bachelor and would prefer the applicability of a computer science/engineering degree. But when I started I though I dont want hardcore engineering, now I prefer it.

Hey I was wondering if you could do a in depth video on computer engineering, and what it’s all about in college. I am thinking of the major!

I switched my major from BME to mechanical the beginning of sophomore year ..why?>>> well..I go to one of the most prestigious universities in the country and I was hearing from upperclassmen the BME grads couldn't get jobs (even from our top school) and the market was over saturated, as the amount of schools that have BME majors has exploded but the job market has not, and maybe that will change in 10 years but not anytime soon..and I did tons of research on jobs and found this to be true after doing my own job searches.....ALSO...I kept hearing again and again that with a mechanical engineering degree I could still get a BME job. (which is TRUE) . Lastly, many of BME jobs I would look up ended up being rural communities where large medical companies tend to have locations. I really want to be in a big city. This summer I got a well paid full time summer internship (Chicago, mechanical) at an engineering consulting firm and have been invited back for next summer. Luckily I switched majors right after freshman year so I am straight on track to graduate on time since freshman year was general engineering courses. Really do your research on the job market...somebody perfectly commented below that this "BME is much worse because the job market is much smaller and EEs and MEs are more likely to be hired in medical device companies for the same positions anyway" . This pretty much sums it up. I think I even fell victim to thinking BME sounds cooler and more prestigious that saying I was a ME major. When you say oh I am studying BME..people say OH WOW that sounds so hard and its almost like your medical school. Don't fall into that trap.

This guy is a treasure of knowledge !

Great breakdown. I'm sharing this to get you more likes. Good work!

this is a great breakdown of Tesla AI Day, thanks!

Great video! Can you make an update video on how things are going? Life? Work? Investing? Thanks!

You, sir, have a gift. You’ve taught me a lot. Thank you.
