My name is Eduardo Macias Soares, I'm 15 years old, I study in an great high-school institution and I live in Brazil with my family, I am doing this course so I know how to be great in my future carrer, so I'm both grateful for this course's creator and for this plataform for letting people like me learn this kind of things, that It would take weeks or even months of research to find all this information, that I am learning for free in a 2 hours course. thank you very much!

good, great mentor, easy to understand

Personal finances, amazing!

I have made horrendous experiences as a former PhD student and was pushed out of my program by my supervisor. My every day life was worse than hell I never wanted to leave academia and want to start again, find a new position. And so far this course helps me with regaining my shattered confidence! Thank you Mike, this is incredibly useful for people like me!!

Superb lecture! I am an aspiring academician too and everything that prof. Mike said is spot on! The course gives you an idea bout the challenges, expectations, and even financial matters in the academe. I highly recommend this course to everyone who needs a brief overview about the academic life. In fact, I'm already telling all my friends to take these courses! Thank you so much sir! P.S. I will be taking your other courses too. I think you are a really good teacher and I'm learning a lot. Thank you so much!

Having another courses from 'Dr. Cohen' :D about python and math, I can say that Mike is a great instructor: he knows his stuff, talks clear and in a comfortable pace. Since this course is geared towards scientists and academics, and I'm a programmer (and nurse), I still got some insights from it. Definitely worth watching (and applying)!

This course is not just another course, it is a compilation of useful advises on how to get the most out of an academic career. It is very relevant, straight to the point, and very digestible. As an aspiring cognitive scientist, I would have liked to have a mentor who guides me in this way however this course helped me a lot.

It is a very good course! It covers several important tips not only for those who intend to pursue an academic career but for anyone who wants to plan better his or her lifestyle. I strongly recommend this course. Congratulations Mike!

This is so cool...a neuroscientist provides advice on the stock exchange and property investment. Hopefully, there will be a course on Neuroeconomy blended with Neuroproperty in a near future from Mike...:)
