Summary
Core Theme
In today's uncertain job market, students should view university not just as a path to a degree, but as an opportunity to actively develop high-income skills through "side quests" to enhance their future career prospects and financial security.

Now, it is a tough time to be a student
these days, right? Unemployment crisis,
cost of living crisis, AI taking over
the world. Who knows whether the job
that you thought you were going to get
after university is actually going to
still be around. There's all sorts of
uncertainty. And so, for whatever it's
worth, I'm going to be giving you my hot
take in this video about what I would do
if I were a student during these
troubling times. Oh, by the way, if you
don't know who I am, hello. My name is
Ali. I'm a doctor turned entrepreneur
and YouTuber and author of the New York
Times bestseller, Feelgood Productivity.
I was a medical student at Cambridge
University from 2012 through to 2018.
And I started this YouTube channel back
in 2017 giving advice to medical
students in particular and medical
applicants. And then I became like the
online study guy teaching students how
to study for their exams back in the
day. And now I'm an old codger. I'm 31
years old. I've got a wife and a child.
Oh man, I don't know where the time
went. And because I still make YouTube
videos opining about stuff, I'm going to
opine about life as a student. So being
a student is like playing an openw world
video game. Now, within this open world
video game of being a student, you've
kind of got like, let's say this is your
start point where you metriculate if
you're in a fancy place or you enroll if
you're in a less fancy place and you've
got like your main quest line that takes
As you know, with these sorts of open
world video games, there's a lot of like
branching off side quests that you could
do that branch off the main story line.
Either way, you know, the march of time
is still taking you towards graduation.
But while you are being a student, you
don't have to just follow the main story
line of study for the exams, take the
boxes, and end up graduating. You can in
fact run side quests. Now, what are some
examples of side quests that people do?
Sometimes people do the side quest of
sports. I had friends who were super
into rowing, so they joined the rowing
team. I played bon for my college team.
I had a friend who was played rugby for
the university team. You know, sports is
a very reasonable side quest that you
could embark on. If you wanted to, you
could embark on the side quest of
alcohol and or substances. Lots of
people do that. That wasn't really my
cup of tea, but you know, I knew a lot
of people who were super into the
alcohol and or substances thing. You
could run the side quest of clubs, by
which I mean nightclubs. You could run
the side quest of joining like the
debating society or joining groups or
you know I was part of an ac capella
group while I was at university. [Music]
[Music]
Oh my god. I also did the side quest of
being the director of the hospital
pantomime. It's like you know there's
random stuff like that that you can do.
You can do music, you can do theater. So
if I were a student and I knew that okay
there's the main quest that takes me to
graduation and there are all these
different side quests I could do. I
think it's firstly it's worth
approaching university or college life
as a video game in that sense. But
secondly, it's worth asking the
question, what is the point? Like what
are we actually trying to do here? One,
two, three. I would like to profer for
your consideration that there are four
kind of main objectives that we
implicitly have when we are students or
Objective number one is to enjoy the
experience. Right? If you ask any old
person for advice, you know, what they
wish, what advice they would have when
if they were a student, they were like,
"Oh man, I just wish I'd taken the time
to enjoy it more." They'll say, for
example, you know, this is the final
time in your life where you're going to
have freedom because then you're going
to graduate and you're going to get a
job, then you're going to get married
and have a child and like, "Oh my god,
like the next time you're free is when
you're retired, and by then you'll have
osteoarthritis in both of your knees."
So really focus on enjoying the
experience. Kind of like playing a video
game. What's the ultimate point of a
video game? Well, the point is to enjoy
the experience. What in many ways is the
ultimate point of life? Arguably the
point of life is to enjoy the
experience. The philosopher Alan Watts
said something like, you know, life is
like a musical symphony. The point is to
enjoy the music. The point is not to
race to get to the end or to the climax
or the crescendo or anything like that.
The point is to enjoy the music as it's
playing 100%. We want to of course enjoy
the experience of playing the video game
or student life. We want to enjoy the
experience of being a student at college
or university. Fantastic. But we won't
pay all of this money uh and spend all
this time at university if the only goal
was to enjoy the experience. For some
people, the only goal is to enjoy the
experience. Fair enough. But I think for
you there are probably more goals than
simply to enjoy the experience. Of
course, we do want to enjoy the
experience. The second major goal of
doing a degree at a college or
university is to learn stuff, right?
Some combination of knowledge and
skills. So, for example, I did medicine
at Cambridge University. And therefore,
I have some knowledge about like how the
human body works and physiology and
anatomy and biochemistry and all of that
stuff that I've long since forgotten.
But I also learned skills during my
degree such as how to diagnose patients
and how to deal with an arhythmia and
how to do CPR and, you know, the
practical skills associated with the
stuff that you learn at university. So,
I think we can all agree that our goal
is to enjoy the experience and also to
learn stuff. Fantastic. We're enjoying
the experience and we are learning
stuff. The third point of going to
college or university is for a lot of
people to get the certificate. I'm not
saying this in a derogatory kind of way.
If for example you want to be a doctor,
you have to have the certificate that
says you've graduated medical school.
Otherwise, rightly they don't let you be
a doctor. And this really I think is the
key part of why people spend so much
money on university. Because if it was
just about enjoying the experience, you
could get it far more cheaply. If it was
just about learning knowledge and
skills, you know how to learn stuff on
YouTube, right? you could if you really
wanted to hire a private tutor to teach
you stuff and it would still be cheaper
than university. To be honest, I went to
one of the world's best medical schools
and most of what I learned in terms of
the knowledge I learned off of YouTube
videos because to be honest, YouTube
videos are easier to follow than
lectures even in Cambridge University.
And so there's definitely a component of
this that's about getting the
certificate, right? And the implicit
reason why we want the certificate is
not so that we can nail it to our wall.
The reason we want the certificate is so
that improves our job prospects. That is
the whole idea behind the certificate.
Sometimes a job physically requires a
specific certificate like you can't be a
doctor without a medical degree
obviously. But sometimes the certificate
is kind of like an indicator of
credibility. Let's say you know McKenzie
only hires people with certain
certificates i.e. people who went to
fancy universities. They don't really
care what specifically you studied. They
don't really give a toss about the
knowledge and skills you acquired at
university at least not that much. what
they care about at least in the initial
screening process is that you have got
the certificate as a badge of
credibility so that it allows them to
sift through the 20,000 people who are
applying and give I don't know 200
people a job. So part of the point of
university and college is to get the
appropriate certificate such that it can
enhance a job prospects and then the
final point of college and university
for a lot of people is something that we
can call make friends if you're a normal
person and we can call it networking if
you are on LinkedIn. Good. So these are
the four points of university. We want
to enjoy the experience. We want to
learn stuff in the sense of knowledge
and skills. We want to get the
certificate so that it enhances our job
prospects and we want to make friends/n
network. Now I think these are all very
very very good reasons to go to college
or university. I sometimes get people
asking me like oh do you think college
university is still worth it and it's
like well it depends on what your goal
is and it depends on what you're
planning to do. So I'm going to assume
that if you're a student like yes of
course you want to do this stuff you
want to enjoy the experience learn
things improve your job prospects and
make friends and network. There is a
there is a goal, right? The main quest
the main quest the reason you're playing
this game from the start up up until
graduation is because you want college
or university to prepare you for real
life. In particular, you want college
and university to allow you to get a
job. All right, quick thing. I'm going
to interrupt the flow of this video to
tell you about an amazing AI study
bundle that is perfectly designed for
students. So essentially me and my team
have partnered up with various founders
of other AI apps for students and we
have come together to create the
ultimate AI bundle for students. This is
a collection of six AI tools that can
help you at different parts of your
university or college experience. We've
got Jenny AI which is amazing for
research and writing. We've got GPT0
which is an amazing way of like you know
if you've written stuff to make sure you
haven't accidentally plagiarized
something from from the internet.
There's Voice Pal the app that my team
and I have built to help you take notes
on the go and sort of conversational
writing and also to help you record your
lectures and turn those into notes.
There's Mathos AI that helps you, you
know, if you're working on maths
equations and problems and stuff, it
sort of talks you through how you can
solve them so that you can learn to do
them for yourself. There's not, which is
a smart AI note-taking assistant. And
there is Site Shore, which makes it
super easy to manage your bibliography
of references if you're writing essays
or dissitations or articles. Now, if you
were to buy all of these apps
individually, it would cost you more
than $1,000 a year for it. But because
we've put all of these into the ultimate
bundle for students, you can get them
all all together bundled for way, way,
way, way, way cheaper than that. So, if
you're interested, go to studybundle.com
or check out the link in the video
description. And this is available for a
limited time only if you are a student.
So, do please check that out. Anyway,
let's get back to the video. I know it
sounds unsexy to say this, but like
unless you have a trust fund, you're
going to need to have a way of making
money. You're going to need some sort of
economic engine because without money,
you ain't going to live. And so in a way
this sort of goal of we're being
students, we're doing a degree in
subject XYZ in order to be able to make
money as an adult in the real world,
which is why we need to get the
certificate. And of course along the
way, we're going to be learning stuff.
Learning stuff also helps us make money
as an adult in the real world. Of
course, we're going to make friends. Uh
that will just help us in life. And
also, you know, a professional network
can help you make money as an adult in
the real world. And of course, we want
to sort of enjoy the experience while
all of this stuff is happening. So, the
reason I'm doing all this exposition is
cuz I want to show you my working as to
why how we've landed on make money as an
adult in the real world is kind of like
a key factor here. And of course,
ideally, we would like the the method
that we use to make money as an adult in
the real world to be fun and fulfilling
and flexible, right? However, it's not
quite that simple anymore because yes,
there are certain degrees that pretty
much directly lead to a job. Medicine
still to this day is one of those things
sort of that directly leads to a job,
right? You graduate from medical school.
Whether you're the top of the year or
whether you're the bottom of the year,
they still call you doctor and now you
have graduated and for the most part
there is a job for you. This is not
entirely true depending on what country
you're in and what the state of the
country is this that the other. Like in
the UK, the system that I'm quite
familiar with, actually a lot of people
graduated medical school last year and
there actually weren't enough jobs.
Shock, horror. These people joined med
school like six years ago and they were
told that if you become a doctor, you
have a job for life. You have a way and
a job for life basically means you have
a reliable, secure way of making money
in the real world in a way that's
ideally fun and fulfilling. These
people, these poor medical students who
joined back in like 7 years ago were
told this and then they graduate and
there are actually not enough jobs. That
is a tricky position to be in. And
that's medicine. Think about non-medical
degrees. I was reading a thing on
Substack yesterday from some girl in LA
who was lamenting the fact that she did
an English literature degree and she was
finding it impossible to get a job. Most
degrees, I suspect the degree that you
are doing statistically is not a
vocational degree like medicine that
directly leads to a job. It's probably a
degree in something that's a bit more
broad where actually it's not just
degree X equals job Y. It's not that
sort of onetoone connection. It's a bit
more like maybe let's say you do a
degree in accounting and finance. Now
that could unlock a job within
accounting and finance as an accountant
or as a investment banker or as a uh
analyst or as an associate or as a this
that and the other. You could do a
whatever GDL to convert to law. You
could like most degrees don't constrain
very much your choices in the future job
market. So this is a video about what I
would do if I were a student. I would
recognize that merely completing the
main story line, the main quest of
starting and then graduating, just doing
that is actually not enough to set me up
for life in the real world in the
current state of society with AI and
economics that we are currently living
in. Just doing the main story line is
not enough to prepare you for the real
world. Now, this is kind of like, again,
it's sort of like a video game. Let's
say you're playing a video game and you
ignore all of the side quests and you
just do the main story line. Now, as
you're playing your video game, your
character is leveling up. Now, I want
you to at this point, I want you to
imagine two different video game
characters. We've got character A and
we've got character B. Character A just
runs the main story line and ends up at
graduation. But character B runs the
main story line, but she does side quest
A, side quest B, side quest there, side
quest there, side quest there, side
quest there, and also ends up at
graduation. Which of these two
characters is going to have a higher
level? Maybe this character might be at
level 30 by the time they arrive at a a
graduation, but maybe this this person
would be at level 50 by the time they
arrive at graduation. Because by doing
side quests in the video games, you
generally gain more experience, you get
more loot, you get more gear, you level
up your skill trees, all of that kind of
stuff. you are a higher level when you
get to graduation compared to someone
who just exclusively followed the main
story line. Now, why does this level
matter? Well, I think the level matters
because much like in a video game, the
job market is kind of based on what is
your level and what are your skills. So,
if you went through the video game only
following the main story line, i.e. just
doing your exams and taking the boxes
and going going up until until
graduation, but you never did any side
quests and you never actually worked on
your skill trees. You never leveled up
your fishing or your alchemy or your
cooking or your leather working or your
witchcrafting or whatever. Now you are
underleveled by the time you get to
graduation. A, you have less experience
because you didn't do the side quests.
B, you didn't bother leveling up your
skill trees. And C, you probably had a
worse time of it because actually quite
of the fun of video games is like in
kind of doing the side quests and stuff
and not just single-mindedly following
the main story line. So if I was a
student again, obviously I would not
follow path A. I would not get to
graduation being underleveled. I would
follow path B where I would figure out
what are the side quests that I can do
because yes, of course, I still want to
learn stuff, make friends, get the
certificate, and enjoy the experience,
but I also want to level up. Now, let's
imagine that these are five different
skills. Let's say this is the skill of
the guitar. So if you wanted to, you
could level up the skill of the guitar
while you're at university. I learned
how to play the guitar when I was in my
second year of med school and I would
sing a couple of songs and I did a bit
of busking and so I was doing some
amount of, you know, leveling up the
skill of guitar. Now, when it comes to
the goal of being able to reliably make
money as an adult in the real world in
order to have financial security, what
is the value of leveling up the trade
skill of playing the guitar? Well, you
could be a professional musician, but
the chances of you succeeding as a
professional musician are very low. And
if you're just picking up the guitar for
the first time while you're at
university, man, good luck making it as
a professional musician because everyone
who's making it probably started when
they were a kid. Secondly, you could be
a guitar teacher. Like, okay. But like,
for the most part, you and I would
probably agree that learning how to play
the guitar, unless you're like freaking
worldclass John Mayer levels, learning
to play the guitar, like the basics of
being a campfire guitarist, is um sort
of a lowinccome skill. That's not to say
it's low value. You know, I love playing
the guitar. It's a great hobby. I enjoy
it. It's good for my fun and
fulfillment, but it does not help me
make money as an adult in the real
world, which we've established as being
one of the points of university. Another
optional side quest that you could do is
you could decide when you get to
university, you know what, I want to
pick up chess, right? And so, I'm going
to level up my trade skill of being a
chess player. And so, I'm going to go on
my phone and go on chess.com in the
evenings. And I'm going to stay up way
too late just playing stuff on
chess.com. I'm going to watch Gotham
Chess. I'm going to watch these chess
Twitch streamers and chess whatever. and
maybe I'll join the university's chess
club and maybe I'll get my rating up to
I don't know 1500 or 1,600 or even
2,000. Now again, unless you become
grandmaster level at chess. Chess is
also a relatively low income skill.
Unless you are Magnus Carlson or a
grandmaster, you're probably not making
that much money from chess. It is not
helping you to make money as an adult in
the real world. Maybe if you're an
attractive girl and you are streaming
chess and you're sufficiently good and
also sufficiently attractive and also
like good on camera and stuff, then you
can combine the skill of chess with the
skill of being good on camera. And now
maybe you can make a career out of being
a chess streamer. But again, if I had my
time at university and I was a beginner
to chess, I would not be banking on
becoming a chess streamer as being my
method for making money as an adult in
the real world. That would just be a
generally not sensible decision to make
because it relies a lot on luck. Maybe
you know where I'm going with this, but
what's another skill that you could
choose to learn? Well, let's say this is
like a laptop and this is the skill of
coding. Let's say you decide, even if
you're not doing a computer science
degree, let's say you're doing a
accounting degree or a medicine degree
or a law degree, whatever. Let's say you
decide, you know what, on the side, I'm
going to learn the skill of coding. I'm
going to learn how to build a website,
how to build a web app. I'm going to I'm
going to learn how to AI vibe code
stuff. I'm going to figure out what it
takes to build an app on Swift or on
Android. I'm going to figure out what
deployment is and what production is and
how to fix bugs and what unit tests are.
I'm going to figure out what CSRF means
and I'm going to see if I can build
these little projects and I'm going to
learn those things from YouTube
tutorials. Maybe I'll go on code academy
or code school. Maybe I'll join my
college or university's coding club or
coding camp or maybe I'll join the
entrepreneurship society and get
together with other people. And maybe oh
you know I saw that my university is
holding a hackathon for like next
weekend. Why don't I get together with
some friends and join go to the
hackathon next weekend and we can see if
we can build something cool in 24 hours.
You are this person might be choosing to
level up the trade skill of coding. Now,
does having the skill of coding improve
your odds of making money as an adult in
the real world? Yes, it absolutely
freaking does, right? Of course it does.
Like, if you learn how to code, you
could, if you wanted to, you suddenly
unlock the ability to get a job as a
developer working in tech. Tech salaries
are huge, especially in places like the
US. Working as a remote developer allows
you to get a remote job. Back in the
day, in the 2010s, you could just learn
how to code and you could walk into one
of these jobs. These days, of course,
it's more competitive, but learning how
to code unlocks quite a lot of income
earning potential for you. Whether it's
working for someone else, i.e. a job, or
whether it's working for yourself, i.e.
a business. If you learn how to code and
you choose to start your own business,
you have the ability, you suddenly
magically unlock the ability to build a
business where you're building an app or
building a website. That unlocks the
business model of software as a service.
I have a friend, we have a whole case
study video about him. He learned to
code. He leveled up his trade skill of
coding while he was at university. Even
though he wasn't taught coding in his
degree, he did some side projects. He
and I attended a couple of hackathons
and he got okay at coding. He worked in
management consulting for 5 years and
then decided to quit and then decided to
build an app. It's a video editing app
called Fire Cut that helps video editors
save time. The only reason he could
build that is because he knew the basics
of coding. And within a within like 2
months, he was making $10,000 a month
from his app. And now 2 years later,
he's making like $1.2 million a year
from his app. and it's recurring revenue
because they've got thousands of
customers all around the world and he's
making way more money than he was even
working at a fancy consulting firm
because he had spent some time at
university as a student learning to
level up his coding skill. There's
another skill tree you could develop.
Let's say you were like, you know what,
I'm really going to learn how to design
stuff in particular, how to design tech
products, uh probably digital products
like apps and websites and like web apps
and user interface and user experience.
So, let's say I do UI and UX design. And
I'm like, you know what, that seems kind
of interesting. I' I've been intrigued
by, you know, why are Apple products
designed the way that they are? Like,
how does the Airbnb website have such a
nice user experience? Why does Amazon
just look so bad? But like, obviously,
it still works. You know, you might be
interested in that kind of stuff. You
can watch some YouTube videos about UI
and UX design. And now you can dabble
with a few different projects and you
could level up your trade skill of user
interface and user experience design. Is
that a lowinccome trade skill or a high
income trade skill? That is a very high
income trade skill because again these
rich tech companies are always looking
for UI and UX designers. I have a lot of
friends who are running tech startups
who are funded to the tune of tens of
millions of dollars and one thing they
constantly lament is how few good UI and
UX designers there are in the market. So
whether or not you're doing a degree in
design, you could be doing a degree in
law or medicine for all anyone cares,
but you can choose to level up your
trade skill by doing side quests related
to design. And now you get to graduation
and you have leveled up the trade skill
of design. Maybe you've even leveled up
the trade skill of coding. And having
the trade skill of coding plus design,
man, there's a word for that. They call
it a full stack engineer or a full stack
developer because you're able to
understand the design side and you're
also able to understand the software and
the architecture side. And those people
are like unicorns. There's not that many
of them out there that are actually
good. And so if you are actually good
and you're a coder who knows design or a
designer who knows who knows code and
will become like a product engineer
again your market value increases
substantially because there's a lot of
startups and a lot of established tech
companies that would be willing to hire
you remotely on your own terms for
pretty large salaries again allowing us
to complete or to fulfill our objective
of make money as an adult in the real
world. Don't just do these kind of side
quests because like yeah going to
nightclubs is good. What does it level
up? It levels up, which is sort of it
makes you lose stats on your liver. Um,
it makes you lose points on like your
eardrums. It probably helps you make
more friends. I mean, although in
fairness, a lot of the friends you make
in nightclubs generally tend not to be
friends that stick around for very long
after the whole like drinking and
clubbing scene evaporates. Like, just
focusing on the side quest of doing
nightclubs is unlikely to help improve
your odds of making money as an adult in
the real world. If that's something that
you care about, it's unlikely to teach
you relevant skills. Just doing alcohol
and substances is probably unlikely to
help you make money as an adult in the
real world. Doing sports, unless you're
professional standard, is very unlikely
to help you make money as an adult in
the real world. These are all very fun
to do. I'm not saying you shouldn't do
these things. I'm saying in addition to
these things, think about doing high
income side to level. Yeah, we're going
to call these side quests to level up
high income skills. Side quests to level
up high income skills. SQ T L U H I S.
I'm sure there is a better way of
branding this. I did not learn the skill
of branding and I'm just making this up
as I go along. So, I would say please do
some side quest to level up high- income
skills. What are those high- income
skills? Well, we talked about coding.
Coding is a high- income skill.
Copywriting. Uh the ability to write
stuff that persuades people to take
action is a high- income skill. If you
can as a good copywriter, for example,
increase the conversion rate on a
website or in a store or something, the
company makes more money and then
therefore you've made them more money
and making money is like the engine that
drives capitalism and so you then have
higher value because you've helped
someone else make money. Another high
income skill you could learn is sales.
If you know how to sell things, then
that works in almost any career you're
in that interfaces with like the free
market. So for example, if even if you
become a lawyer, you might not think
sales is useful as a lawyer. But when
you become partner and your job becomes
not doing the law but to win new
clients, you can bet your ass that like
sales as a skill is going to be super
helpful in that. Learning how to use AI
really well, learning how to build AI
systems and AI agents and learning how
to use AI automations and build AI
automations for other people. That's a
really really really valuable
highinccome skill that will become more
relevant as we progress through time.
learning the skill of statistics and
data analysis, not in the sense of like,
you know, just doing it for a degree,
but being able to sort of go into a
business or a workplace, be able to
understand the data that they've got in
their data warehousing, being able to
figure out like what queries and like
SQL queries and databases and that
you have to have to use to be able to
turn that data into insights that can
allow that business to make more money
or to help more customers. That is a
high income skill because very few
people have that specific skill set. Or
just ask Claude or Chad GPT, say, "Hey,
I'm looking for some high income skills
to learn. Uh, I'd like to do some side
quests while I'm a student at
university, while I have all this
copious amount of free time. In many
ways, the point of university is not the
degree. The point is not graduation. The
point of university and college is that
it's a scaffolding. It is a very nice
period of your life where all you have
to do is hang out and learn stuff. You
just got to hang out and learn stuff.
Now, if you are someone who hangs out
and learns stuff that results in
leveling up high income skills, you're
never going to be broke, right? You're
always going to have a job. You'll be
able to start your own business because
you you will have had high income
skills. You you will have developed
skills that are valued in the free
market in this capitalist world that we
live in. If you are someone who spent
your time at university just hanging out
thinking that, oh man, if I just do my
degree, it'll help me make money as an
adult in the real world. You'll get to
graduation and you'll be like, crap,
it's really hard to find a job probably
because you didn't spend the time
leveling up your character, leveling up
your high income skills. That is the one
piece of advice that I would have for
students. Think of university as a video
game where the goal is not simply to
speedrun the main story line. The goal
is to also level up high income skills
so that by the time you get to
graduation, you're an absolute weapon of
a character. You have leveled up beyond
level 50. You've got your trade skills.
You've got the skill of, I don't know,
coding or design or video editing. You
know how to speak to a camera. Maybe you
know public speaking. Maybe you know
statistics. You've dabbled in all these
different arts. So that now when you are
applying for jobs or maybe thinking of
starting your own business, you have the
ability to add value to the marketplace.
Because adding value to the marketplace,
if you are in a profession that
interacts with the free market, so not
doctors in a state funed healthare
system, but pretty much everyone else.
If you have a job that interacts with
the free market, then your ability to
make money as an adult in the real world
directly correlates with your ability to
add value to the market, i.e. to develop
valuable skills that solve problems in
people's lives that they are willing to
pay for. So, please don't waste your
time at university. Please, I beg you,
recognize that you have an incredible
opportunity right now because you're a
student and you have so much free time
on your hands. Like, if you think you
don't have free time as a student, just
wait till you get a job. Man, then it's
really going to hit you. You have
copious amounts of free time as a
student. I would really recommend you
please use that time to develop high-
income skills, learn stuff, get the
certificate, make friends, and network.
Obviously, um obviously enjoying the
experience is super super important, but
I don't need to tell you that because,
you know, hopefully you know that
already. But while enjoying the
experience, we can level up a high-
income skills and that will help you be
way more attractive in the job market so
that you can actually make money as an
adult in the real world unlike all the
people who are struggling with
employment and then have to go on
welfare. And if you enjoyed this video
and you're interested in this thing of
making money as an adult in the real
world, I have this video over here which
talks about how getting rich is a again
kind of like a game. I I use less of a
video game analogy than that, but it's
more like getting rich is a game. And if
you care about making money as an adult
in the real world, understanding how
money actually works and understanding
the language of business will be
incredibly helpful. So, I really
