Overview

The video is a personal “ranking” of college/university career options in Brazil, judged mainly by:

  1. Earning potential
  2. Availability of jobs
  3. Whether the profession can provide a good life outcome
  4. How vulnerable it is to disruption—especially by Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Core Thesis / Method

The speaker argues that:

  • Many “popular” degrees are overrated, particularly when the curriculum is outdated.
  • Some less prestigious paths can still pay well if you:
    • specialize,
    • market yourself,
    • and/or work privately.

Repeated Warning (AI Disruption)

The speaker repeatedly warns that AI will reduce demand for certain roles, especially:

  • administrative / structured-information professions (e.g., library science, accounting)
  • standardized jobs that don’t require human-specific judgment

Career-by-Career Judgments (Grouped by Overall Stance)

1) “Short Lifespan / Outdated”

  • Library science Criticized as becoming obsolete due to AI/robotic systems that can organize information automatically.

2) “Caution” (Potentially Unstable or AI-Threatened)

  • Personal trainer vs. Physical Education The speaker criticizes typical low-paying gym work, but argues that Physical Education can be excellent if you become a top-tier trainer who delivers results and commands high private rates.

  • Marketing / Advertising / PR Called “useless/obsolete” because the curriculum supposedly teaches generic fundamentals and outdated theory. Modern marketing is framed as requiring live funnel/online growth knowledge, which can be learned cheaper online.

  • Engineering (general) “Enough to live on,” but with caution, since some engineering areas may have weak job markets.

  • Accountant Warned as an AI target in the next 10–14 years. The prediction is that automated tax/filing tools could commoditize parts of the work, pushing accountants into lower-value tasks.

  • Nursing “Impossible to live on” due to heavy workload and mental strain. Still defended as employable and not AI-replaceable in the short term.

  • Administration Said to pay well only for the most capable students. It requires learning advanced management and building value through business leadership or entrepreneurship.

3) “Way to Make a Living”

  • Veterinary medicine Described as having a growing market due to more “pet parents.” However, clinic work is often low-paying. Higher earnings are said to come from:

    • owning/specializing (clinic, pet shop, grooming),
    • and succeeding in entrepreneurship/marketing.

  • Occupational therapy Framed as viable because demand will exist for disability rehabilitation, but success depends on strong marketing/business ability.

4) “Excellent / Strong Earning Prospects”

  • Speech therapy Strongly praised. The speaker notes that many speech therapists earn little in typical clinic/public-health-plan settings, but better income comes from:

    • pediatric rehab tied to modern issues (screen habits),
    • specialization,
    • and roles involving public speaking/training.

  • Physiotherapy Praised as excellent and resistant to AI replacement. The speaker attributes low earnings to mediocrity and poor strategy, such as overreliance on low-paying health-plan consultations. The recommendation is performance-focused, private practice with high consultation rates.

  • Pedagogy Judged excellent as a profession, not merely a course. The speaker argues Brazil has an education crisis and that top pedagogues solve modern learning problems (attention, ADHD, phone addiction). The pedagogy curriculum is criticized as weak, but the job itself is rated highly for those who can meaningfully improve learning outcomes.

  • Law “Excellent” for people who are truly skilled and strategic. The speaker claims many law graduates are underqualified (can’t write/process cases, lack networking). Top earners are described as combining legal expertise with real business niches (e.g., real estate transactions), licensing, connections, and aggressive competitive positioning.

  • Dentistry Described as excellent—especially for high-level/aesthetic work and “biological dentistry.” The speaker emphasizes holistic claims about dental health affecting systemic health and suggests many dentists lack sufficient knowledge, creating an opportunity for competent specialization.

  • Psychology Framed as “life made” if you don’t mess up, but the speaker is highly critical of many therapists’ competence and their ability to solve issues effectively. High earners charge high per-session fees and run busy caseloads. The speaker argues true effectiveness requires going beyond textbook approaches and having strong philosophical grounding.

  • Medicine Defended aggressively as “life made.” The speaker rejects claims about medical saturation, arguing skilled/competitive doctors can reach very high incomes (e.g., 20k–30k+ per month) quickly, and that failure to earn is portrayed as incompetence rather than market limitations.

  • Computer / digital programming-related fields (IT, computer science, systems, cybersecurity, AI/ML) Rated among the best. The speaker suggests that (ideally with a strong degree and English) competence plus effort leads to high pay. Unlike medicine, it’s not automatically guaranteed by the diploma—skill and effort are emphasized.

Overall “Best Advice” Implied by the Ranking

  • Degrees that are rule-based, bureaucratic, or content-agnostic are portrayed as risky (or low return) unless you become exceptional and market yourself.
  • Professional success is portrayed as depending on:
    • specialization,
    • private-market strategy,
    • entrepreneurship,
    • communication/marketing competence,
    • and staying current with modern methods—especially in business and tech.
