Honestly everyone who finishes their BA at 22 or under is truly blessed and had resources that others don't. I hope they all understand that, and don't take it for granted.
Isnt that the norm? Like most people who go to university enter at 18. Shouldn't they finish it within 3-4 years? I am 21 starting my final year and will be graduating a few weeks after my 22th birthday. Also I live in england so my bachelors is 3 years,(I believe in the US is about 4 right?) and I took a gap year when I was 18,so I started at 19.
Never heard of Chapman, but no school is worth 90k per year. These families are paying $360k so that their son or daughter can make $75k-80k per year starting. Not a good ROI. Instead, you could go to community college for free (other than living expenses) in California for 2 years and then transfer to a state school for another 2 years with in-state tuition.
@@Tasneemlikesstars3 I did 3 years in community college since I was deciding what my major was going to be. Then joined a 4 year university that was prolly the 5th best university in my city. Meaning it’s a below average school. Despite that I got multiple offers for 65-77k entry level in IT. Now I can easily get jobs around 105-110k without too much trouble.
You go to Ivy league schools not because they are better, but because that's where the rich people send their kids. And you can network with their kids, to get a job after college.
Yup, networking and experience is what will land you a job in todays market. In the case of this video, rich parents = great networking. External Validity is surprisingly not taken into consideration for this video, which is the reason why it should not be a representation for the reality of most Alumni's around the country (US).
@@monkyGoboom right, so to think that they will give you anything that could benefit you and only you including their network is insane. Never happens.
Congrats first to my son (Se)Bright ! You did an amazing job - "your mom, The Lagunatic" ... 😉 ! Secondly - Thank you so much Chapman University for the great family vibes that College Campus and faculty is giving. It feels like a high end Boutique University ! Going up in the ranking every single year ! It was the best choice we could make ! And to all of the Chapman grads of 2024 ! Go Panthers ! You show us the future looks Bright ! Ilse Harteel
Happy for them! As a 43-year-old man who has an MBA and works for the federal government, I can honestly say college was the best investment of my life.
Congratulations to all these graduates but wow these Chapman students are very bright, knowledgeable, and know what they want to do! That college is doing it right for sure!
@@LuckieStripes I should hope they know what they want to do after all the resources their parents put into them. I half to work full time to BE ABLE TO GO TO SCHOOL!! Even with grants and scholarships. I don’t have the credit history for independent loans.
@@natthaphonnoble2407 Bro I feel you it’s really a fkn grind out here for some but I got out of it and now I’m becoming a trucker soon to be making wayyyy more money and with wayyyy less debt. You got this bro if that’s exactly what you want to do! Remember DONT GIVE UP!!
@@LuckieStripesthanks man, I’ll get there some day just tough seeing some people in easy or easier mode, it’s like damn imagine just having a family business or parents like that but just keep your head down and don’t dwell on that and do what you can to advance the best you can in life.
36 and I'm at 81k but I didn't go to college. Just worked my way up with no debt. I think there's benefits to both routes. Those kids are taking on debt (or not if your lucky and parent's pay for it) but there making what Im making now 14 years earlier.
I'm 28 and I make 42,000. I'm not college educated and I never had big aspirations. My late teens and early twenties I was a meth addict and I was homeless. I have a small house in the rural Midwest it's all paid off add a car that's paid off and I'm able to save most of my measly income.
We’re always exposed to videos of kids on campus being made to look as if they’re not smart. It’s nice to see this video, which is closer to reality and shows that there are many college students out there who have their #%#% together.
I graduated from UC Riverside studied biology but ended up in real estate. Looking back I would have gone here and go straight to real estate. When I have kids, they’re going here. Definitely a great option. These students are very intelligent and solid.
this feels so reassuring 😭😭 I chose to transfer to ucr instead of ucd a lot of people’s comments made me hesitate but this comment reflects a lot of stories that i heard from a few people i know
I joined the army. They paid for my tuition and paid me to go to school. I went to a community college and got a two year degree in process technology. I got a job working in the oil and gas industry. My base pay is 98k per year without overtime. I’m currently at 95k and it’s July. Zero college debt. It’s an easy route.
@@LowkeyXxx well serving 4-6 years is the “payment”. But that’s a pretty great deal. I’m doing the same, enlisting in the space force (even though I have a BSCS), so they can pay for my MS Electrical Engineering
Are you the guy that graduated 3 years early? What steps are you going to take to get into real estate? I'm curious since I am going to be attending college soon and am considering my options.
@@Falcon8856 Get as much experience as you can in the industry. As soon as you get the opportunity, go intern and find a mentor in the industry. Someone who is already where you would like to be, if that makes sense. Offer your help to him/her. Then, just learn as much as you can whilst doing your studies and you will be a winner. Books can also aid you. Good luck ! 🍀
This is the difference between those who had a plan on what to do with their degrees and those who just thought that having a degree should immediately get them a job. These kids invested in themselves and laid the groundwork for their careers while they were STILL IN SCHOOL, not after graduation. Great to see students who have their heads on their shoulders. It’s not always about the degree, but rather about what you do with that degree.
This was me! Not knowing what to do at 18 when i got out of high school, not knowing what degree to go for and always setting it back. Here i am at 26 and still lost with no degree or anything to my name and im so disappointed in myself i wish i would’ve applied myself from early on like all these bright young adults
@@yng27 Brother at least you're not 100K + in debt. They have the immense pressure now to get a good paying job to even have a chance of paying that back.
I would like to add mine just for anyone. I graduated college in 2013. My major was psychology and my plan was to get direct patient care to apply to PA school. First job out of school was a CNA at a nursing home for 9$ an hour. I did the math and that’s about 18k a year before taxes. 1.5 years later I moved to the hospital and made 11$/hr (22k a year). While I was working at the nursing home I went to EMT school (I think it was 2k for 3 months program). With that EMT license I got a job as a MA in pediatrics. Started at 12$/hr (24k) and ended 2.5 years later at 14$/hr (28k). So that was my max 5 years out of college. I was then accepted to PA school, which tuition cost 90k for 27 months. And I could not work while in school. First job out of grad school, I was hired at 100k. So a huge jump from 28k to 100k but it was a long and hard journey.
This video confirms what almost every study on employment says: kids are the product of whatever their parents careers were. Every kid was basically repeating the career of their parents. The only one who was not was the Latino accountant who's parents worked in strawberry farming.
No need to go to such an expensive school. I’m 22 graduated state school with 10k debt. Starting salary 125k with 30k sign on bonus Computer engineering 3.94
I agree, an expensive school is not necessary. But, your starting salary is double what I saw starting out with the same degree at a very large company. You did a good job finding a company that respects its engineers. If that's truly the case, then hold onto it. It will benefit your health and the success of the company.
Job market in tech is a bit difficult right now but hopefully should be back to normal in a year or two. There's still a ton of growth happening in the industry, much higher than the national average.
Bruh, you’re in tech so it’s easier for you to say. I had a Tech Director position at Microsoft with $200k salary without a degree. But got laid off, and while I’m struggling to find a gig, my little 21yr old cousin is offered so many opportunities because she got a BSCS at an Ivy League. So the university definitely matters
Great video Charlie, I sent it to my Daughter who's a student at Utah State... Congratulations and best of luck to all of the grads, I'm proud of you all 🎉❤️🔥🤗
13:12 I agree college does teach you a lot about time management (coming from someone who didn’t have good study habits pre college) it will really check you, but to be completely honest the biggest growth has been for me personally and in my personal life. I’ve learned so much about myself and just how to deal with problems better/go through life with a better perspective
@@khraeelol yeah until you put in taxes, you don’t bring home 120k, also in cali making 120k is like making 80k everywhere else. Good salary but you won’t be paying off 400k, not to mention interest inquires on the student debt too, so you also have to pay the interest. Not such a great investment is it?
Congratulations to all these graduates. They endured 4 years of boredom in finance courses and are set for a lifetime of sitting behind a cubicle in a humid room working 9-6 with a salary that the company makes sure you work every cent for. Keep in mind you are working you butt off and priceless time to help another bunch of guys add several billion to their net worth each year. Good luck.
so what? not everyone feel the same and be the same as your miserable negative perspective. Just because you see the world grey doesn't mean everyone will see the same.
This was a great video Charlie, if school isn't your thing look at getting into the trades. I've been in the union now for 10 years and I haven't looked back. Free schooling never hurts :). Congrats to all the students
I lost two and a half years of the college experience to COVID :/ all my internships and clubs canceled; even study abroad canceled. Feel like I would’ve gotten way more experience if it hadn’t been for COVID.
Computer engineering undergrad from a Midwest Big10 school. Graduated in 2022. First year salary 90k, then layoff after a few months, next job 117k, bumped to 125k. After two years there moved to a new job at 145k. Working in software engineering / consulting.
Moral of the story is, I went to an affordable college in STEM, worked my ass off, networked, and was very involved in university clubs and activities. Majors like psychology or the arts, or going to a non ivy but expensive schools are not worth it.
Congratulations to all the graduates. The parents/family must be proud of these young adults. These kids are well versed, very good communication skills, good spirit and appreciate how much their parents invested in them, though some received scholarships and others took out loans. Could not imagine some other graduate videos we've seen where after graduation the kids decided to become dog walkers.
It’s okay if you are going to college to work a job you actually have a passion for and money is not the biggest care but if you are doing it solely to make money after graduation, there are so many better ways to do that. (Starting a business, working and investing over 4 years vs paying for school, working in sales).
Most people will never get opportunities like 6-figures at 22. Life is about hard work and sacrifices for most. For others, it's about who they know...or what was left to them.
I know nurses with two year associate degrees that cost less than 10k that are earning $140k+ . No debt and working three 12 hr shifts. You don't even need a BS anymore and there is a nursing shortage in many makets.
The best thing you can do after high school if you don’t have no way of paying for college or don’t wanna be in debt is to join the military. Serve 4 years active duty to get your VA benefits so you can get 100% free tuition. Once you leave, write down all your disabilities gained from serving in order to get 100% VA disability which pays 3k a month or 4k plus if you have dependent. Then apply for VRE which will give you another 3-4.5k a month as housing allowance while going to school. At 22 years old, you are going to get 7k a month tax free while going to school with no tuition fee. Imagine earning 84k a month tax free and with free health insurance while going to school. If you pick a good degree like bachelor of science in nursing, you can easily make 200k(36k tax free from disability) year at 25-26 years old. You can then buy your first home under VA loans for best interest rates with no down payment and pmi
@@NNOutBurger_Gaming it is most them have jobs that can translate to there goals after the military you have no idea what you are talking about and clearly never been in
He does acknowledge it with his body language and he seems to edit it out, he doesn't have to say sorry as he didn't do anything and I feel like he's giving them respect
@@akquattro5 When people say sorry they aren't saying sorry as if they did something to the parent, you weirdo. People say sorry for your loss. Have you not heard that before?
saying sorry makes it awkward and the person has to go "oh don't worry". Some people who lost their parents hate when people feel pity for them because that wasnt the point of why they brought it up. It's fine to not say sorry, it's not rude, and it doesn't even mean you don't care
I wish I got this advice before getting into college, now I got two years left. I don’t have any friends, connections, and broke. Treated it like high school, and I’m pretty sure Econ needs at least a master for better salary
It is not what you know it is who you know. Knowing people is how you make it in the business world. Some advice I was given many years ago was I would never become a millionaire as long as someone else signs my paycheck.
I was amazed that the accounting degrees got them $80K straight out. Back in my day (2008) we started around $50K in Houston. I have heard that the start in Houston around $70K now, so in 16 years, starting salaries went up around 40%. Just goes to show you that the right majors/careers won't leave you stuck. With that said...it's not for everyone, do what you enjoy but know the limitations. The "networking" is kind of a weird deal. As long as you participate in the accounting functions, you can get a pretty decent job. Accounting is a pretty good career. very stable.
And back in my day (2002), I started around $36k. Networking was crucial in my transitioning from an accounting firm to a hedge fund firm (I was double major in Accounting & Finance; and later on, MBA). Financially, it paid off handsomely for me; though, I was working 70-90 hours/week in a very stressful environment. At 40, I decided to retire, but I got bored after about a year or so. So, I went back to work and I am now a part-time, adjunct, college professor (I work about 20 hours a week and no summer).
Consider that these people are in California. 80k is a bit closer to that 50k that you mentioned. I graduated recently with a finance degree in Houston and starting salaries for entry level finance & accounting positions are from about 45-65k
@@Takar100 : Yeah! I got burnt out a long time ago. You can try to become a professor too. The job is fairly easy. I only teach a couple of classes, which amounts to only a few hours each week. Then, a few more hours for class preparations, grading, and office hours. Many of the private universities offer an adjunct position to professionals that have worked or are currently working in the business. But be warned, sometimes, you have to keep your unpopular opinions to yourself and try to stay below the radar with the administration (unless you want to become a full time professor). I am trying to keep politics and other hot topics out of my classroom (it is a finance class), but it is not that easy to do.
@@Takar100 I’m going into accounting in Houston and I currently have a sophomore summer audit internship with PwC next summer (my sophomore summer) do you have any advice or something that worked well for your career?
Connections are overrated. Don’t depend on connections to get you a job or any favors down the road. I’m not saying connections AREN’T important. I’m just saying don’t depend on it. If you want something YOU still have to want it and go out and get it. Plus advice for any of the accounting majors. Get YOUR CPA. Take the exams early don’t wait.
2 things for everyone upset about how much they make, first they paid for a high cost college so most will have some college debt, second this is California so there are higher salaries because of the high cost of living which is 38% higher than national average. Average salary for CA ranges from 63,000-81,000$ salary depending on source. Keep going we all got this.
These are great videos, helps a lot for most of us not sure of what to do.. but definitely agree with the first girl, communication is key! Connect with people
Why does that matter? Federal aid exists for low income families so they pay little or nothing. And if you want to go to a cheap private school, that's also an option if you join the army. No need to make excuses
me at 26 just graduated and looking at these kid graduating at 22 made me in tears.....also they starting out with like $80k while I'm here struggling to get into my major :( What should I do? :(
The best majors to get high salaries are STEM majors. People say do what you love but that’s how you end up with a hundred thousand dollars in debt. Do what will make you the most MONEY that’ll provide you the opportunity to do what you LOVE down the line.
@@munchpunch2981 the best is just getting into financial literacy, even with a 9-5 job you can become a millionaire in your early to late 30s Save , live below your means and increase you're income 🙏
@@munchpunch2981 you can do what you love, just be smart and gave a plan. I make more money than some STEM majors (85k) just one year out of college. and I got a bachelors of fine arts in design. But I focused on a niche that pays really well.
I’m older by a lot and hell I’m learning from these new grads to just be excited…I got everything I want now as an adult but sometimes it’s hard to remember to be grateful. I wish every single one of these young adults much success! Hell they’ll prob be my future boss lol
Honestly looking at it from a CEO perspective, outside of the medical field or engineering field, it’s really about your resume and work experience that’s gets you the job and pay.. the degree doesn’t matter as long as you have it in that specific field.. so no need to pay for a expensive degree if you don’t have to..
Noticied how you guys clicked on the video you see nice thing. He intentially put the prettiest person in the thumbnail for the views he is pretty smart and good at marketing. Thats all im going to say.
@Cyber_Samurai cheaper labor along with a high turnover rate for CPA firms. CPA firms require a lot of grinding that many only want to do for 2 to 5 years and then move onto a better work/life balance job that pays similar.
PWC in LA: 80K - ouch. Deloitte: 78K and small sign on bonus Data Science/real estate - data analytics: HOPING for 6 figures (realistic) Finance, now pivoting to dental school, lol. Dad leaving money to kid to help pay for it. Finance with masters in real estate @ Hansel Phelps construction: $97K Electrical Engineer: 75K. Not too bad in general, but a bit rough compared to the college they went to and how much their tuition costs. ROI is low relative to most places with similar degrees. Not arguing one way or another. Just data.
great clip on hearing the future generation on what they are doing right out of college. Was there any grads that you recorded that had no clue what they are going to do?
I have 2 sons…my eldest had 2 years of computer college and now makes about 250k….he did continue with online college and got a masters in business….my youngest son didn’t go to college and makes 115k and gets bonuses. Thank God they didn’t spend as much as these guys did they’d be paying off college loans forever.
A lot of people in these comments, not understanding that if your parents pay for college, there is no debt. There are no interest payments. And ROI over the course of your life, in terms of finances and health and social life are way way way higher. You meet people from all over the world, you learn things about the world and about science that you probably wouldn’t have, you learn how to socialize in large groups of other people, and a lot of these things are the intangibles. Even if you can pay off your debt within five years, I would strongly suggest college.
I went to my local public state university to take advantage of in state tuition and resident scholarships. My degree would have cost $28k excluding housing *total*, or around 60k with on campus housing and a modest food budget. I stayed at home with my parents, got a scholarship from the state of florida to cover 75% of my tuition, and worked during 7 out of 8 of the semesters I went to school. I went from making $10 / hr to $37 / hr during school, and graduated with a B.S. mechanical engineering, a 3.7 GPA, and I had 5 offers for work before leaving school ranging from $75-100k. I had zero debt, and actually ended up making money from school due to receiving an additional corporate scholarship after sophomore year, and pocketing a lot of the money from work as well as the leftover scholarship money. I ended up choosing a job as an examiner with the US patent office. I make $86.7k working from home, I have flexible scheduling and work ends when I close the laptop. No calls, no emails, no emergencies. Non competitive promotions and clear/consistent expectations. Best decision I ever made
That's nothing check this out. I went to community college then transfered to UCLA for electrical engineering. I got accepted to the Navys NUPOC program and got paid $7k+ every month after taxes just to go to school. I graduated debt free and started my commission as a nuclear propulsion officer. 2 years in I ended up in the ICU and turns out I have type 1 diabetes and didn't get it until 25. I got medically retired and got paid a $25k severance and now I get almost $4k in disability comp from the VA that isn't taxed plus exempt from property taxes now. I'm working as a civilian engineer now doing R&D into telecommunications and radar technology for the air force. I make what O3Es or even what O4s do on this base do who are 15+ years older than me. I live in the same area and drive just as nice cars that my bosses do.
Honestly, i enjoyed going to college. Was in school for 2 years going from accounting and was going to start in theauto tech field. Now i have dropped out and am enjoying what i do now, which is doing security work 😊 college isn’t for everyone. Both of my parents were high school drop outs so i have already succeeded in my book!
@@RLleeo $38,272 but if I do anything overtime, it’s time and a half. There are better paying jobs than the one o currently have. This is a nice start out job to get some field experience.
Has anyone noticed the pay compared to the cost of living in Southern California? Those starting salaries don't cover that cost. All these employers could disappear tomorrow. Than what?
@@zachary3603 it is very hard to compare your pay to our pay in the United States. You have healthcare subsidized by your government. The United States healthcare situation is like the hunger games. Trust me, you are winning by being in the UK.
@@marolatv618 I'm leaving the UK. I wouldn't consider having healthcare at 25 winning. Statistically I wouldn't need healthcare at that age, so it's another example of the many paying for the few.

So sorry to see college graduates with almost 400k in debt, little to no work experience, who’ve been deceived into thinking that their business degree is going to get them into a decently paying leadership position out of college. A lot of them will be lucky to even get into a company where their degree will be useful. The amount of business students that spend a long part of their 20s with an enormous amount of debt and a job unrelated to their major (often retail or service industry) is really sad.
Being from the east coast, I never heard of Chapman University until now. I am shocked at the starting salaries with just a Bachelor’s degree and I am also shocked at the cost of tuition.
Business, accounting, psychology, finance. I understand these are foundational degrees but the cost on the "dime a dozen" degrees blows my mind. As a professional artist in the entertainment industry for 2 decades, the idea of getting this type of degree is a foreign to me as learning chinese. Spending 2-4 years not focusing on the field you want to get into just because you need to show basic degree education, its nuts. I went to Full Sail from 03-05 and they only spent 1 month on the foundational courses and the rest was all focused on the field I went into.
If the government really care about lowering education costs. Why wouldn’t they put recordings of classes online? Buy the books and tech yourself. 90k!!!??? Get real
"...don't let the sticker price scare you". She won't be saying that in 2 years when she has 200K plus in student loans to pay off and realizes she won't even be able to pay rent!
Most private colleges (not sure about this one) have a much higer sticker price than what students actually pay. They do this to boast about how much scholarship money they give out a year. So you can be on a 50k, half ride scholarship while still paying 40k a year

Never heard of Chapman, but no school is worth 90k per year. These families are paying $360k so that their son or daughter can make $75k-80k per year starting. Not a good ROI. Instead, you could go to community college for free (other than living expenses) in California for 2 years and then transfer to a state school for another 2 years with in-state tuition.

I’m 35 and just passed $70k 😭 Should have ignored those comments saying accounting is boring back then and majored in it.
36 and I'm at 81k but I didn't go to college. Just worked my way up with no debt. I think there's benefits to both routes. Those kids are taking on debt (or not if your lucky and parent's pay for it) but there making what Im making now 14 years earlier.
I want to switch careers to accounting, how did you do it? Did you have to go back for a bachelors in accounting?

This is the difference between those who had a plan on what to do with their degrees and those who just thought that having a degree should immediately get them a job. These kids invested in themselves and laid the groundwork for their careers while they were STILL IN SCHOOL, not after graduation.
Great to see students who have their heads on their shoulders. It’s not always about the degree, but rather about what you do with that degree.
This was me! Not knowing what to do at 18 when i got out of high school, not knowing what degree to go for and always setting it back. Here i am at 26 and still lost with no degree or anything to my name and im so disappointed in myself i wish i would’ve applied myself from early on like all these bright young adults
@@yng27 Brother at least you're not 100K + in debt. They have the immense pressure now to get a good paying job to even have a chance of paying that back.
I would like to add mine just for anyone. I graduated college in 2013. My major was psychology and my plan was to get direct patient care to apply to PA school. First job out of school was a CNA at a nursing home for 9$ an hour. I did the math and that’s about 18k a year before taxes. 1.5 years later I moved to the hospital and made 11$/hr (22k a year). While I was working at the nursing home I went to EMT school (I think it was 2k for 3 months program). With that EMT license I got a job as a MA in pediatrics. Started at 12$/hr (24k) and ended 2.5 years later at 14$/hr (28k). So that was my max 5 years out of college. I was then accepted to PA school, which tuition cost 90k for 27 months. And I could not work while in school. First job out of grad school, I was hired at 100k. So a huge jump from 28k to 100k but it was a long and hard journey.
@@MHSMagicLuver what specialty are you in as a PA

I agree, an expensive school is not necessary. But, your starting salary is double what I saw starting out with the same degree at a very large company. You did a good job finding a company that respects its engineers. If that's truly the case, then hold onto it. It will benefit your health and the success of the company.
is getting a job like that difficult? i’m going for a degree in cybersecurity and I’m worried finding a job might be difficult
Job market in tech is a bit difficult right now but hopefully should be back to normal in a year or two. There's still a ton of growth happening in the industry, much higher than the national average.
Bruh, you’re in tech so it’s easier for you to say. I had a Tech Director position at Microsoft with $200k salary without a degree. But got laid off, and while I’m struggling to find a gig, my little 21yr old cousin is offered so many opportunities because she got a BSCS at an Ivy League. So the university definitely matters
Very cool to see a few accounting majors. I’m a cpa and the accounting industry needs more accounting grads.

Computer engineering undergrad from a Midwest Big10 school. Graduated in 2022. First year salary 90k, then layoff after a few months, next job 117k, bumped to 125k. After two years there moved to a new job at 145k. Working in software engineering / consulting.
Moral of the story is, I went to an affordable college in STEM, worked my ass off, networked, and was very involved in university clubs and activities.
Majors like psychology or the arts, or going to a non ivy but expensive schools are not worth it.
Congratulations to all the graduates. The parents/family must be proud of these young adults. These kids are well versed, very good communication skills, good spirit and appreciate how much their parents invested in them, though some received scholarships and others took out loans. Could not imagine some other graduate videos we've seen where after graduation the kids decided to become dog walkers.
It’s okay if you are going to college to work a job you actually have a passion for and money is not the biggest care but if you are doing it solely to make money after graduation, there are so many better ways to do that. (Starting a business, working and investing over 4 years vs paying for school, working in sales).

The best thing you can do after high school if you don’t have no way of paying for college or don’t wanna be in debt is to join the military. Serve 4 years active duty to get your VA benefits so you can get 100% free tuition. Once you leave, write down all your disabilities gained from serving in order to get 100% VA disability which pays 3k a month or 4k plus if you have dependent. Then apply for VRE which will give you another 3-4.5k a month as housing allowance while going to school. At 22 years old, you are going to get 7k a month tax free while going to school with no tuition fee. Imagine earning 84k a month tax free and with free health insurance while going to school. If you pick a good degree like bachelor of science in nursing, you can easily make 200k(36k tax free from disability) year at 25-26 years old. You can then buy your first home under VA loans for best interest rates with no down payment and pmi

I wish I got this advice before getting into college, now I got two years left. I don’t have any friends, connections, and broke. Treated it like high school, and I’m pretty sure Econ needs at least a master for better salary
It is not what you know it is who you know. Knowing people is how you make it in the business world. Some advice I was given many years ago was I would never become a millionaire as long as someone else signs my paycheck.
I was amazed that the accounting degrees got them $80K straight out. Back in my day (2008) we started around $50K in Houston. I have heard that the start in Houston around $70K now, so in 16 years, starting salaries went up around 40%. Just goes to show you that the right majors/careers won't leave you stuck. With that said...it's not for everyone, do what you enjoy but know the limitations.
The "networking" is kind of a weird deal. As long as you participate in the accounting functions, you can get a pretty decent job. Accounting is a pretty good career. very stable.
And back in my day (2002), I started around $36k.
Networking was crucial in my transitioning from an accounting firm to a hedge fund firm (I was double major in Accounting & Finance; and later on, MBA). Financially, it paid off handsomely for me; though, I was working 70-90 hours/week in a very stressful environment. At 40, I decided to retire, but I got bored after about a year or so. So, I went back to work and I am now a part-time, adjunct, college professor (I work about 20 hours a week and no summer).
@@T.S.000 I've thought about doing the professor route when I get burnt out/bored.
Consider that these people are in California. 80k is a bit closer to that 50k that you mentioned. I graduated recently with a finance degree in Houston and starting salaries for entry level finance & accounting positions are from about 45-65k
@@Takar100 : Yeah! I got burnt out a long time ago.
You can try to become a professor too. The job is fairly easy. I only teach a couple of classes, which amounts to only a few hours each week. Then, a few more hours for class preparations, grading, and office hours. Many of the private universities offer an adjunct position to professionals that have worked or are currently working in the business.
But be warned, sometimes, you have to keep your unpopular opinions to yourself and try to stay below the radar with the administration (unless you want to become a full time professor). I am trying to keep politics and other hot topics out of my classroom (it is a finance class), but it is not that easy to do.
@@Takar100 I’m going into accounting in Houston and I currently have a sophomore summer audit internship with PwC next summer (my sophomore summer) do you have any advice or something that worked well for your career?
Connections are overrated. Don’t depend on connections to get you a job or any favors down the road. I’m not saying connections AREN’T important. I’m just saying don’t depend on it. If you want something YOU still have to want it and go out and get it. Plus advice for any of the accounting majors. Get YOUR CPA. Take the exams early don’t wait.
2 things for everyone upset about how much they make, first they paid for a high cost college so most will have some college debt, second this is California so there are higher salaries because of the high cost of living which is 38% higher than national average. Average salary for CA ranges from 63,000-81,000$ salary depending on source. Keep going we all got this.
I’m in college and would never knock it but paying that high of a tuition just for a business or marketing degree is absurd

@@boogeymanw9643 Economics is what I am doing and I would highly recommend.

Honestly looking at it from a CEO perspective, outside of the medical field or engineering field, it’s really about your resume and work experience that’s gets you the job and pay.. the degree doesn’t matter as long as you have it in that specific field.. so no need to pay for a expensive degree if you don’t have to..

@Cyber_Samurai cheaper labor along with a high turnover rate for CPA firms. CPA firms require a lot of grinding that many only want to do for 2 to 5 years and then move onto a better work/life balance job that pays similar.

Knew Jared was a finance bro before he even said it
A lot of people in these comments, not understanding that if your parents pay for college, there is no debt. There are no interest payments. And ROI over the course of your life, in terms of finances and health and social life are way way way higher. You meet people from all over the world, you learn things about the world and about science that you probably wouldn’t have, you learn how to socialize in large groups of other people, and a lot of these things are the intangibles. Even if you can pay off your debt within five years, I would strongly suggest college.
I went to my local public state university to take advantage of in state tuition and resident scholarships.
My degree would have cost $28k excluding housing *total*, or around 60k with on campus housing and a modest food budget. I stayed at home with my parents, got a scholarship from the state of florida to cover 75% of my tuition, and worked during 7 out of 8 of the semesters I went to school. I went from making $10 / hr to $37 / hr during school, and graduated with a B.S. mechanical engineering, a 3.7 GPA, and I had 5 offers for work before leaving school ranging from $75-100k. I had zero debt, and actually ended up making money from school due to receiving an additional corporate scholarship after sophomore year, and pocketing a lot of the money from work as well as the leftover scholarship money.
I ended up choosing a job as an examiner with the US patent office. I make $86.7k working from home, I have flexible scheduling and work ends when I close the laptop. No calls, no emails, no emergencies. Non competitive promotions and clear/consistent expectations. Best decision I ever made
The second kid is 22 years old?! He looks almost 40!
That's nothing check this out. I went to community college then transfered to UCLA for electrical engineering. I got accepted to the Navys NUPOC program and got paid $7k+ every month after taxes just to go to school. I graduated debt free and started my commission as a nuclear propulsion officer. 2 years in I ended up in the ICU and turns out I have type 1 diabetes and didn't get it until 25. I got medically retired and got paid a $25k severance and now I get almost $4k in disability comp from the VA that isn't taxed plus exempt from property taxes now.
I'm working as a civilian engineer now doing R&D into telecommunications and radar technology for the air force. I make what O3Es or even what O4s do on this base do who are 15+ years older than me. I live in the same area and drive just as nice cars that my bosses do.

So sorry to see college graduates with almost 400k in debt, little to no work experience, who’ve been deceived into thinking that their business degree is going to get them into a decently paying leadership position out of college. A lot of them will be lucky to even get into a company where their degree will be useful. The amount of business students that spend a long part of their 20s with an enormous amount of debt and a job unrelated to their major (often retail or service industry) is really sad.
Being from the east coast, I never heard of Chapman University until now. I am shocked at the starting salaries with just a Bachelor’s degree and I am also shocked at the cost of tuition.
Now you see how the upper class keeps a hold on extremely high paid jobs😂
crying in European salaries, we can dream about these salaries 😢
A big salary with a big student loan debt is wash.
Business, accounting, psychology, finance. I understand these are foundational degrees but the cost on the "dime a dozen" degrees blows my mind. As a professional artist in the entertainment industry for 2 decades, the idea of getting this type of degree is a foreign to me as learning chinese. Spending 2-4 years not focusing on the field you want to get into just because you need to show basic degree education, its nuts. I went to Full Sail from 03-05 and they only spent 1 month on the foundational courses and the rest was all focused on the field I went into.
If the government really care about lowering education costs. Why wouldn’t they put recordings of classes online? Buy the books and tech yourself. 90k!!!??? Get real
omg you visited chapman? i wish i saw you there 😭
But the real question is... will they be able to find an entry level job in their field?
I’m not going to any college where I won’t be making double the annual salary of the tuition cost. 90k per year for undergrad is absurd
Good luck to the finance major getting into dental school
"...don't let the sticker price scare you". She won't be saying that in 2 years when she has 200K plus in student loans to pay off and realizes she won't even be able to pay rent!
Most private colleges (not sure about this one) have a much higer sticker price than what students actually pay. They do this to boast about how much scholarship money they give out a year. So you can be on a 50k, half ride scholarship while still paying 40k a year
