Here’s a fact that many of you Pandas probably already know intuitively but don’t often think about—our destinies are not set in stone. Just because you were into dinosaurs as a kid doesn’t automatically mean that you’ll grow up to be a world-renowned paleontologist. Similarly, just because you majored in—oh, I don’t know—English literature doesn’t mean that you’ll do anything remotely linked to your university degree (though it can happen!).
Voice actor André White aka TikTok user Blackkout___ started up an interesting trend when he asked people to share what they majored in and what they do now. André showed his wit by going first in his video and saying that he majored in communications and he’s now depressed. Now, depression is no laughing matter, however, the voice actor used his sense of humor to show that we really don’t have everything figured out in life by the time we graduate from college. Far from it! Life’s full of twists, turns, and loop-the-loops.
Have a look through the most interesting ‘major vs. job’ revelations that people posted, and remember to upvote the ones that you found the most amusing. I’m also incredibly curious to find out what you Pandas majored in and what you do now.
André was kind enough to answer a few questions that I had and shared his opinion that we should all live bolder, experiment, and do what we’re passionate about. He also pointed out to Bored Panda that there’s far more pressure to go to college than before and revealed how he took his first steps into the voice acting industry and how he’s already worked with some amazing brands.
“If you are 18 and you feel lost and not sure of what your next move should be, GOOD. No one should have it all figured out at that age. And the same goes for a 25-year-old or a 35-year-old. Don’t feel like you HAVE to do what society tells you to. Go to a community college, go to an HBCU, start a business, find your passion because your passion is what’s going to make those tough days a little less tough. What makes you smile ear to ear? Do that! Life is way too short to look back in 30 years and regret anything,” the voice actor urged everyone to grab life by the horns and live to the fullest. You’ll find the rest of his interview with Bored Panda below.

I went to school for shoe design, but I ended up dropping out. My family was poor, so I just started working a regular job, but still held onto the dream. I started posting on social media and literally 10+ years later, finally, I have my own shoe. This colorway is inspired by Goku from Dragon Ball Z, it’s a collab with one of my favorite shoe brands, Sia Collective, and it wouldn’t be possible without your support. So thanks.

“Believe it or not, I got a degree in Financial Management. My Asian parents told me to study about money to make a lot of money. Of course I listened to them, did everything right, but find out 10 years later I was so unhappy. So after 10 years in that blood sucking boring ash job, I quit that beesh and started a meal prep company.”“Now I get paid to cook delish Lao Food and host cooking parties. Moral of the story: live your dreams, bish and don’t listen to nobody. Trust yo gut and listen to yo damn self and don’t be lazy bish.”

“I originally went to my local community college and got my associate’s degree in Liberal Arts. Then I transferred to Temple University on full academic scholarship and got my Journalism degree. Ultimately, I graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Advertising and Public Relations and a minor in Statistics…And now I sell compromising videos and photos of myself online and tell people how to f**k.”
“And why do I do this you may ask? Because I make more money that way than I do with all those degrees. In all seriousness though stay in school.”
