The reason people struggle with 50K a year in the USA is the cost of living. Houses and general services are expensive. You are right the culture here is that only one family per household. There is a stigma if you still live with your Mom after 18 then you are a looser.
Omg as an Asian international student I could def relate to how your parents think your education is an investment. Whenever I try to make some opportunities to take my own financial responsibility, my parents are like “no your job is to study hard right now instead of making money, we would pay for your tuition so you shouldn’t think about money” 😅
I had a weird experience when I was going through customs in The Philippines. I didn't have the slip to sign so I was sent to the back to fill it out. I ended up coming across a fellow American who was completely lost, and didn't have their glasses with them, so I had to help them fill out their forms. Afterwards I was fast tracked to the front. It was unusual. Coming back home in immigration, the person assisting us is a Filipino and he was asking me about my visit. It was unusual that I wasn't questioned, I guess they could tell where I am from or they overheard me talking to the assistant.
yessss to the importance of time!!! This is the biggest pet peeve of mine (and many of my colleagues!!) AHH the PC-ness! That's something my parents don't get and I don't blame them because they are immigrants but I have to explain to them a LOT of things that they shouldnt say
I agree that money sometimes equals control in some Asian cultures... growing up my parents always provided financial support for almost all of my education, travel, daily expense, etc. I used to think that was a norm for everyone but later on, I felt like the money they spent on you can be used to hold against you in some situations, especially when there is disagreement on your life choices.
I'm half Filipina and I grew up in the Philippines then moved to Switzerland. I am so grateful that education here is mostly free. My parents only pay 750$ per semester at University. I'm going to do an exchange semester in America, very excited! Did an internship at NYC & people there are sooo friendly indeed. 🤗
I came from an immigrant family too. I couldn’t afford college so I started coding in highschool and I’m glad I did since I started making some money by 16. Then my mom passed and I had to fend for my self. I then applied to over 100 software engineering jobs and finally landed 5 offers. I got an internship at Uber and Snapchat so that helped. Right now I’m working at Facebook. Though I’m trying to go on my own since it’s been 4 years in the industry. I want to take some risk while I’m 22. Though I’m little nervous.
I relate to SO MANY of the cultural differences you made! I was born and raised in the Bay Area, but I am Filipino too lol so I suppose that's why there are so many similarities with our values. I am a senior in high school, and so many of my friends are bombarded by college applications while I'm just staying at home and attending a local community college. Many of my friends want to move out and become independent, while I just want to live with my parents to avoid debt. I am scared of just debt limiting my opportunities later on in the future, despite me being in a more financially stable situation to go straight to a 4-year university compared to my peers. I have some friends that are emancipated/in the process of being emancipated, and that's just mind blowing because yeah I just plan on staying with my family until I get married, or maybe they'll stay with me haha. I feel bad that I am missing out on the whole college admissions process, but even applications are expensive and I ain't tryna go broke so its ok. But yeah I related so much to this video
I can completely relate to you! Even though I was born and raised in the U.S., my family is from Pakistan, and I was always raised with the idea that having a “retirement” was strange or moving out right after I graduate was not an option. Like, I grew up expecting that after I graduate and get a job, I’ll help provide for my family until I get married... and I was born and raised in Texas.. so it’s crazy to see how much your family can really influence you, even if you were born and raised in a developed nation. 😂
ALOHA KATIEEE! This is awesomeee. I'm a filipino but haven't gone to an international country. I love how you separated and compared two cultures and just really appreciated our culture. There are things to improve and to let go but there are things that needs to stay because our culture as Filipinos are very rich! GLAD YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS KATIE, lels sooo true on the money spendinh though, "WHY DID I EVEN BUY THIS?!" HAHAHA.
@@KatieTracy Yeah, they have, but its just cool that you did it as you are one of the few international college TH-camrs who go to the US, And yeah I would always be there to support you!!,
haha lollll yea i'm one of those students from Singapore / Malaysia sponsored by govt pleasantly surprised that u know our existence xD thanks for the fun video and really admire how u can still make video despite busy schoolwork wish u a blessed week ahead ehehehe
I like to see how people who haven’t grew up in the US see it. It’s cool to see what people from different perspectives have to say about what I think is normal.
It seems like people in the Philippines are so nice and family oriented. I really like that concept. As an Asian international student studying in the states as well, I can relate to a lot of points you mentioned in this video. However, my country has a similar work/study environment to the US. Thanks for sharing your perspectives! I really enjoy your video😊
You nailed it Katie! I’m also an international student here in the US. I’ve been here since 2018. I just hope I saw this video during my first months here in the US. You got it all right. 💯 I’m not sure if you also mentioned this but I guess the definition of friendship is a lot different here in the US. People can open up about their personal lives and just be acquaintances. I still cannot grasp that. I feel like in here relationships are disposable. Like many other things. Whoops! I also like that you mentioned our “hugot” in working hard - which is our family. I’m proud that I’m from the Philippines and I love our culture. Like you I can’t wait to contribute to our country. All the best!
I agree and disagree with this .You're right, if you probably work in the Philippines you will definitely stand out because you studied in Cornell vs. if you apply for work in the US,. However, if you have studied in the Philippines and try to find jobs in the Philippines, it is just as competitive as the US. I found it very difficult to find work in Manila just because I didn't graduate from the Top 4 schools, namely UP, Ateneo, La Salle & UST respectively. I had to move to the Middle East to be given a break and thankfully I did get my shot. I don't think I would have achieved what I achieved now if I never left. Hopefully one day this will change, there are a lot of talented Filipinos out there that were not given their breaks.
🔔!! Aloha Katie, fellow international student says, yes, these are real culture shocks 😂 the small talk, time and SUPER expensive culture relate the most to my East Asia’s differences!!! Looking so great Katie 💗 You’re going back America?! ;))
I had cultural shock from The US to The Philippines. I now have a better understanding after visiting! If you visit the Midwest, we're known for being friendly! But people tend to talk to me when I was in The Philippines. Everyone is friendly!
It’s because a lot of times, college is far too expensive for parents to be able to finance. I know I’m very great full that my family is upper-middle class, but there are 7 kids in my family so although my parents have some money set aside for me (which is a lot more than a lot of kids can say) and I am very great full of that, for a large part of my education, I will have to fund it for myself.
Well I wouldn't say never. There are many parents who do try to fund their kids higher education. However, I guess the culture of students trying to fund their own education might have developed from the fact that college was pretty affordable in the past. There was a time where students was able to pay for tuition by only working part-time, and you'd work during school to of course gain experience and financial independence.
Depending on where you live, it’s next to impossible to consistently set aside future college money because the cost of living is so high. I know for a lot of my friends, their college funds decreased because their family was hit with an unexpected emergency that had an astronomical price.
I think one of the reasons that Americans can finance their education is because they are able to get part-time jobs. There are not many part-time jobs that are for high school students in the PH
I actually really love love❤❤❤❤ your aura/vibe.......you seem like one of those kind and warm people. And your video was on-point👌 too...really helpful and eye opening.
wooow!!! how long have you been living in north America? cause base on your gesture and your accent, i never would have guest you were foreigner. you totally sound north American. it goes to show people, to never judge a book by its cover.
Katie Tracy totally i didn’t mean to call you out or anything! just didn’t want people to overgeneralise and then be surprised when they arrive in the midwest or something
OMG UR VIDEO CAME UP AT THE RIGHT TIME!!! im absolutely conflicted rn on whether or not i should stay here in the ph or not bc i might get too culture shocked
katie, i think that you and raya have different thoughts about the consumer culture in the philippines hahahahaha you should definitely watch her shopee and lazada hauls!
I agree with you an almost all points except the Philippines does have reliable shopping platforms (Shopee, Lazada, Beautymnl, etc) just make sure you're buying from official stores! :) Makes me sad as well that the immensely talented graduates make only 1/4 of their Western counterparts :(
About costs between the two countries, it made more sense for my mom and I to compare the prices when we make purchases. I felt so bad for my cousin and her friends because it doesn't compare for them, it just makes things more expensive for them to purchase things here. =(
More than money there's honour as well, and in Filipino families we operate together not moving forward separately. Thus why most Asians societies have strong resilience in support in that sense. Retirement yes, recently we've been getting thr western idea of retirement. Sunday is forever for God and family, yay! Yeah and I get the 'it's easier to get from 0-80% productivity than from 80-90%'. Sometimes it takes a new worldview to make that happen though. You don't need to buy things if you can get it from other means (and that's why we keep sacred Sundays, family time, social and cultural practices, to each it's own culture!) I also got that when I was young, giving gifts during Christmas and then just practice it any day because everyday should be like Christmas! So I also like saving up to buy gifts!
7:20 SAME! My Mexican parents, especially my dad, don't want us to move out. They don't like that part of US culture. My dad would love to buy some land and build a nice house that we can all live in and pass down for generations.
Dang as an American seeing these culture shocks to people is strange like I didn't know it was weird to start small talk with ur waiter or something- now I''m having culture shock
I'm not sure what the hours have been in recent years but Uris library was open 24/7 and people slept over (keeping tooth brushes in the lockers) and were always studying. Then in some effort to """"""""de-stress"""""""" students they closed Uris on Friday and Saturday nights. We just had to find other places on campus to study for those hours -_-
Thank you, I am also an international student aspiring to US college. Could you talk about the part time job that students take up and should you take them or focus on studies. Also about the internships and when do we do them.
How do you earn from TH-cam as an international student? I've always wanted to capture my experience but because of the working hours limit and the vagueness around income from TH-cam, I've hesitated
I’ve done some consultations with US law firms to check my case! Honestly you should go for it and start even if you can’t earn yet! It takes a few requirements like 1000 watch hours to be able to monetize your videos anyway :)
Yes, I recognize the starting salary is lower than P250,000 and I had just rounded to illustrate my point about how big the gap is. I agree the multiple would be even higher than 10x. Thank you for pointing that out!
Did you have good american english diction before living in America? How long did you adjust to how they speak? My family is planning to move but my english is kinda bad??? Did you find it difficult?
All the Filipino culture are just as same in India.... After watching this video I think Most of the Asian countries have very similar cultures in terms of education, career and opportunities.
Love u Katie😘😘😍😍🥰🥰 Like u literally read every comment , I had commented on your other video as well on the same day.....and you have given my heart to my comment there as well..😁😁 Hats off to you Katie I hope ur channel grow more and more😊😊 and it will definitely be... Btw I am also wishing to study in America after my high school completes in 2023..🙂 and I think ur videos will help me a lot to get there... U r doing a great job😇😇 It will help many other students as well...
@@KatieTracy Hi, new subscriber here... I am a junior highschool student in the Philippines and I research that other countries doesn't have senior high. Should I apply collage after junior high, or should I apply senior high abroad then college or should I apply for college nalang? I hope you see my comment and replied... Thanks a lot and stay safe
do what you care about and can grow in! I wrote this article on how to start projects for extracurriculars :) bit.ly/SideHustle101 where are your greetings from? haha
@@KatieTracy america is the whole continent, for people from other American countries such Mexico (my country) sometimes is very triggering to read or hear how ppl think about "America" as the country: the united States of america. like hiiiii we are a continent!!
@@KatieTracy america is not a country, but continent, like north america (canada and USA), south america or latin America (brazil, chile, Argentina) and the other part central america ( mexico, cuba, guatamela, etc) I've never been to that places but i know the difference between america and USA. 😊. America is not a country, but USA 🇺🇲 (united states of america) is a country that your referring.
Katie I am surprised you think americans work hard. For some reason I always had the perspective that America was a lazy country. I believed that filipinos worked harder since Asians in America put so much effort in their academics. Wow it is interesting to hear different perspectives.
When you talk about political correctness. How it is in the Philippines is how it used to be here. Until they invented the PC culture, where everyone is offended by everyone else. Same with not working on weekends or Sundays. When I was a kid, If you didn't get all your shopping done by Saturday. You were out of luck. In the 1960's. You would not even find a gas station that was open on a Sunday, or a holiday. That all changed in the 80's.

AH YOU GET IT!! thank you for sharing emily!😊
this is so relatable among us international I swear 😢😂
Wow why i am can't relate even though am asian 😃😭
the same Chinese parents hahaha.
@Emily Zhang We have this culture in India too.....
One difference I noticed was the way pets are treated. Many pets are pampered more in the US than children in my country 😂
HAHA SO TRUE! I see people shook when they see pets here, esp. from elders🤣
"ha ha ha"
.....
funny?
BROOO SAME PFP
They are innocent that's why.
So true haha
I felt thisss, when I went to Beijing for the summer, it was AWKWARD relearning their own mannerisms, etc.
I am from Mexico and it's crazy how much our culture is similar even though we're in completely different sides of the world.
WOW that’s so cool!!😮 I would love to visit Mexico one day!
Money = control is a big part of why im trying to save so quickly... but i also love boba so
I really totally BRUTALLY MISS AMERICA! They are so friendly even though at the airport immigration 😞✈️🇵🇭🇺🇸

Never understood why Americans never finance their kids education, so weird
this was definitely new to me!

College is hell a expensive here compared to other countries. Also, not everyone can fund their kids education, not all Americans are hella rich.
I think one of the reasons that Americans can finance their education is because they are able to get part-time jobs. There are not many part-time jobs that are for high school students in the PH

this was my favourite video of yours!! Much loveeee
just wanted to add a caveat that a lot of this is specific to the eastern united states. culture differs A LOT region to region
Great point! I speak from my experience on the East coast.

omg that's amazing to hear! and a great way to put it. thank you for sharing!
@@KatieTracy thank you for posting amazing videos, I have watched all your videos
In America meal time is family time and a time to bond with others that's why we usually go out to eat when people want to talk
I have to submit a paper today but......first Katie.
ILYY and I believe in you sakura!
OMG UR VIDEO CAME UP AT THE RIGHT TIME!!! im absolutely conflicted rn on whether or not i should stay here in the ph or not bc i might get too culture shocked
AH GOOD LUCK BEENIE!!
Yupppp family values so different here. I miss everything about the Philippines minus the lack of opportunity and earnings
katie, i think that you and raya have different thoughts about the consumer culture in the philippines hahahahaha you should definitely watch her shopee and lazada hauls!
This is so interesting! In what way do you think we differ?🙈

Do you have a video on what it’s like for foreigners to move to the Philippines?
I hope you’re keeping safe from the typhoon.

Dude, no one earns $50,000 or 250,000 pesos as a starting salary. I don't think my dad who is a lawyer and UP grad earns that much damn.
Yes, I recognize the starting salary is lower than P250,000 and I had just rounded to illustrate my point about how big the gap is. I agree the multiple would be even higher than 10x. Thank you for pointing that out!
yeah i used to nag my parents about time too...
also most other stuff kinda just depends on where you live
Uwuuu superr pretty as ever yiieee meet us soon✨😍❤️I love philippines yiiee dalagang pelepenaaa yieee ✨Keep safe poo
Ya work/life balance isn't really a thing here in America 😅. But also it's hard to have while in college in general
Really inspired by you👍♥️

@@KatieTracy are you going back to America?
From description 😂
You’re going back to America?!

Regarding time its same in India
Did you have good american english diction before living in America? How long did you adjust to how they speak? My family is planning to move but my english is kinda bad??? Did you find it difficult?
She is chinese filipino
All the Filipino culture are just as same in India.... After watching this video I think Most of the Asian countries have very similar cultures in terms of education, career and opportunities.
Love u Katie😘😘😍😍🥰🥰

I hope you notice questions!!!
hii what questions?
@@KatieTracy Hi, new subscriber here... I am a junior highschool student in the Philippines and I research that other countries doesn't have senior high. Should I apply collage after junior high, or should I apply senior high abroad then college or should I apply for college nalang? I hope you see my comment and replied... Thanks a lot and stay safe
It is so weird to me that as a half filipino that other countries find americans weird for making small talk and being friendly
Wow that's crazy about when you said Philippine time,, In black American culture, we call it black people time
haha i can relate to many things as an Asian
Hello Kati, what extracurricular activities do you recommend me to do greetings from México
do what you care about and can grow in! I wrote this article on how to start projects for extracurriculars :) bit.ly/SideHustle101 where are your greetings from? haha
Its you so pretty: im like the asiatic Lady:
muy bien
Beautiful top.
it is united states of america not "america" :(
wait sorry I don't understand this comment :( what do you mean?
@@KatieTracy america is the whole continent, for people from other American countries such Mexico (my country) sometimes is very triggering to read or hear how ppl think about "America" as the country: the united States of america. like hiiiii we are a continent!!
@@esAmaranta yassss exactly
I think this just kinda illustrated her point regarding "PC-ness" :)
@@KatieTracy america is not a country, but continent, like north america (canada and USA), south america or latin America (brazil, chile, Argentina) and the other part central america ( mexico, cuba, guatamela, etc) I've never been to that places but i know the difference between america and USA. 😊. America is not a country, but USA 🇺🇲 (united states of america) is a country that your referring.
Nice thumb nail 🤩
Katie I am surprised you think americans work hard. For some reason I always had the perspective that America was a lazy country. I believed that filipinos worked harder since Asians in America put so much effort in their academics. Wow it is interesting to hear different perspectives.
Ur pretty
Tbh must suck still being stuck at home...
♥️
Aloha Katie do u have any tips for how to get into top elite jobs in nyc or California ( ivy league grads mostly go here according to my guess)
thanks for the suggestion! I do. I'll keep this in mind :)
I'm an american... I must have been born in the wrong country. I hate our time centrism and casual sociability.
$50,000 is 10 times $5000 btw. Not hating, I'm just indian😂
oh my gosh I messed up. THANK YOU HAHA😂 I understand
@@KatieTracy Haha. Great content as always! Also, could you make a video about how doing the IB vs Other curriculums has helped you in University?
When you talk about political correctness. How it is in the Philippines is how it used to be here. Until they invented the PC culture, where everyone is offended by everyone else. Same with not working on weekends or Sundays. When I was a kid, If you didn't get all your shopping done by Saturday. You were out of luck. In the 1960's. You would not even find a gas station that was open on a Sunday, or a holiday. That all changed in the 80's.
Why are you so beautiful?
YOU ARE
@@KatieTracy OMG U NOTICED! 🥺❤
