Do you hear that?

It's the sound of my Indian parents

reading this video title and dying inside.

"No!"

(light galloping)

- What up, everyone?

It's your girl, Superwoman.

And throughout my entire childhood,

my parents always used to say things like,

"People can take away everything from you,

"but they can't take your education."

"Without school degree, you're nothing."

So I grew up thinking that a piece of paper

that said I am smart at a thing would simplify my life.

Yo, once I get a degree,

I'm gonna literally have like zero problems

and that's 99 less than Jay-Z.

So, go school!

- Lilly Singh, here's your diploma.

- [Woman] We'd like to offer you a job.

- Here's a raise. - You have a career now.

- You're an adult. (bell dings)

- So I'm like, "Okay."

I worked really hard for four years in university

to get a psychology degree, and guess what happened.

- Lilly Singh, here's your diploma.

- [Woman] We'd like to offer you a job as a psychologist.

- Really?

- [Woman] No, it takes like 10 years of experience.

- Oh.

You know what the real slap in the face is?

I ended up having a career that literally

has nothing to do with my degree.

Like my psychology education is useless.

I make comedy videos.

Now, what would Freud do?

Okay, now hold up.

Every time I say this, people are like,

"No, what do you mean?"

"You make such funny videos

"because of your psychology degree, yo."

"No, you know why you're really relatable?"

"Because of your psychology degree, yo."

"You like get people because of your psychology degree, yo."

That's exactly how they sound, too.

"Because of your psychology degree, yo."

And I'm just like, "Yo, it best be

"because of my psychology degree."

Straight up, 'cause that ish cost thousands

and thousands and thousands of dollars to my parents.

My parents paid for my degree.

They wanted it.

They paid for it.

And trust me, I've tried, okay?

In my previous jobs, I really attempted

to put my degree to good use.

I can't help but notice that you've been acting

a little strange recently, and I really think

that you should talk to somebody about it.

I get it can be hard to feel like you're constantly

giving and giving without receiving anything in return.

It probably reminds you of your childhood

when all you wanted was to make your mother proud,

but you never got that validation.

And all that anger and resentment follows you

into your adulthood, and that's why you get heated.

But I want you to know that everyone here appreciates you.

Okay, now let's see how you're feeling.

(loud rattling)

(sighs)

Tell me about your relationship with your father.

And to be honest, it's not just me, okay?

I can't think of a single person that is using their degree.

Like my one friend, she has an English degree

and she's a waitress.

- How's the rustic burger?

- It features three pounds of evenly grilled meat

that carries an aroma of pinewood.

Your palate will experience undertones of maple and cider

with a texture that's almost crackling.

The unprocessed bun is made freshly out of organic wheat

and infused with modest amounts of garlic.

And the burger itself has a melody of garnishes

that sing the perfect song.

Companioned with a side helping of french fries,

this burger, for me personally, is very nostalgic

and exquisite, to say the least.

- So, it's lit?

- Yes, it is lit.

- Cool.

I'll have the pizza.

- Coming right up.

- Another one of my friends studied law.

- I was so stressed out,

and then this cop stopped me out of nowhere.

- Well, you had the right to remain silent.

Anything you said could and would be

used against you in the court of law.

You also had the right to an attorney.

But if you can't afford one, one would be appointed to you.

Are you aware of your rights as a citizen in this country?

- So, anyways, this cop stops me

and, get this, he found my wallet.

- Now that I think about it, I can't think of

even one time I have used my degree.

Actually, no, no, no, that's a lie.

That's a lie.

There was that one time I used it.

("Star Wars Theme" by John Williams)

Yo, check this out.

"I am your father."

(laughs)

Sick.

Hmm, that one time.

Anyways, stay in school, kids.

I hope you enjoyed that video and you could relate to it,

or you know people that can relate to it.

If so, give it a big thumbs up.

Check out my last video right over there.

It's hilarious, just like this one.

I'm hilarious.

Just do it.

Vlog channel right over there.

Make sure you subscribe because, one, it's free,

and two, I make videos every Monday and Thursday.

One love, Superwoman.

That is a wrap, and zoom!
