No they're not, they live in the DC area. All of their first job salaries are reasonable for the Mid-Atlantic region. The cost of living justifies these salaries.
I am a Data Scientist with a master’s degree in bioinformatics. I live at the boarder line btw Maryland and DC…with no job experience, my first job right out of graduate school, paid me 80k/year. I did not negotiate my salary, though. I just needed that to gain work experience. So, the young men and women in this videos made reasonable assumptions.
Dude, data scientists make good money, plus you have a master's degree. Besides comp science, these majors aren't known to be high paying. The average entry level position in the US is only about 40k+.
@@Lucy-wc5vf I know, but you need somewhere to kickoff your career. I did a 3 month internship at NIH before that job! Most of the computer science major with Bachelor’s degree, tend to go into software engineering (I guess some the young individuals in the video are thinking towards that).
Houston’s all over the place. Doesn’t matter how much you make, you’ll end up spending more time setting in traffic, than you will sleeping & working combined.
The cost of living higher on the east coast than 3rd coast. If you making 6 figs in houston, TX you are a BALLER If you making 6 figs on the east coast , you just an above average guy
Construction Management is great! Pay is awesome but if you don’t like math it may not be for you. You will have to take Calculus, Physics etc. Also it’s management level work so leadership is important.
Everyone has the idea that they're going to start out making the big bucks. In reality you got to work your way up to it. People have no patience in life.
@@mosu8779 It was good! I graduated in the spring and am heading to William and Mary next month to finish my Bachelor’s. If you’re going, I’d recommend one of Dr.Stakland’s philosophy courses for an elective. His ethics course was my favorite class, by far.
thanks for that ill def consider his course. just out of curiosity of all the choices how'd you decide on your field of study? ive wasted so much time just being indecisive and i have no real passions embarrassingly enough. would you happen to have any advice? but congrats on your graduating at nvcc and gl at W&M
The comment section: "I graduated with a 'high paying degree' these students have a realistic view on their entry level compensation!!" It depends on the major, the college, and location. Most people I know entry level are making 50-70k in NYC!
They would need to get their foot in the door now. The guy can do construction now, the others can get a cert and start working in tech. The girls can become cnas. The other guy can get a real estate license now. Don't wait.
I love the inthusasism that these kiddos have! They want to be successful, so nice to see! Now, unfortunately lol less than 10% of people actually land a job in their career field and with this crazy administrations inflation... these kiddos will probably make half on what they project and then they have to pay double on goods/needs to survive. Time for a administration change...
I graduated from a college in that area. And seriously, non of my friend is making that much fresh out of school 😂 But of course, I think that would be possible for CS students. It’s reasonable expectation, but given the job market as this moment, it is really hard to actually reach that expectation
CS major making 100k... hmm... its all about Cost of Living for Tech. Yeah you could make $100k in Bay Area but that is poverty. Aim to make $$$ in a Mod or Low cost of living area with remote work now. Being new to CS and a company, I would rather make LESS money in HCOL if I get to go into office and learn from people in office.
@H graduation from a college and where you end up working your first job are too totally different things. Plus new grads are more likely to get a job and move for it than a experienced professional
making 100k in your first year of real estate is just not very realistic. Just because you have a degree doesnt make you any more knowledgeable than someone else who took the real estate exam with no education background
These kids are dreaming. They think it's all just gonna come to them by luck and hope. They have no idea of the cut-throat competition they're about to come up against. I hope they're all ready to work long, long hours and take a lot of bullshit while they climb the ladder. Which btw, can take years and years because of the politics at a company. These kids been sold the big lie!
This may not be everyone' experience, but for a good majority of people, it is. That includes myself. They really should talk about this more in college, since a good amount of college professors have years of experience in their field.
This is what republicans need to see. It’s not kids taking out loans to major in 15th century Congolese women’s gender studies. It’s kids taking out loans for respectable, practical, necessary fields and careers, who have been told over and over that they will make close to or over 6 figures, and then go into the real world and realize everything they’ve been told and guaranteed was all a lie and have all this debt with no realistic way of paying it all back, without being in debt for the next 5 decades and not be able to buy a house or have any sort of upward mobility and be stuck in their lower middle class socioeconomic class.
This is exactly why this channel is a joke…. She interviews people in big markets that further inflate their salaries… people watch it and take it for gospel… Then they go to a community college and thing the average college graduate makes between 70-100k starting… I’m sorry to say but for most of these people… 70k is your ceiling… a few of them have a CHANCE at hitting 100k..
