For those that are considering international studies, in Australia you get a 2 year working graduate visa when you finish an undergraduate or postgraduate degree you don’t need to be sponsored by an employer unless you want to stay longer than that

In the US is similar. Everyone gets one year after finishing pretty much any kind of studies, but STEM gets up to 2 years. During this 2 years you need to find someone that will sponsor your H1B (10 years) or greencard (permanent resident).

[@Kitty-Cattie]

I think everyone saying that they're glad she mentioned "privilege" misses a few nuances. There's the fact that she's an international student in a foreign country (alone)- making new friends, learning American dialect, absorbing a new culture, and so many more. I roomed with international students in college and befriended many more. After 4 years, I wouldn't say "privilege" is the first thing that jumps to my head. Humility is why they say privilege, but truly, I admire their journey, independence, and all the physical/mental toll. In my opinion, many of these internationals have earned my respect and way beyond just a privilege background. They have a lot more in common with regular folks than the things we choose to focus on (money), but also deal with tough situations anyone who's not an Asian immigrant wouldn't relate to. There's pressure to outperform your parents and other things. Privilege isn't what they use to relate or not relate, but rather look up to (in Asia). So, I'm trying to say that when she said "I know I'm privileged," there's a lot more nuance, and it doesn't relate to American conception of privilege. Anyway, if anyone has had experience in Asia or around international students, maybe you can relate to what I mean. It's just not the same conception as American.

[@anoukc6928]

She wrote she doesn’t see the money coming from KZbin. Probably it is paid in her bank account in her home country. So technically she is not working for a US employer or as an independent worker in the US.

Thank you, Chloe for telling the truth 👍🏽

Inspiring story. Very inspired by her to live within my means.

[@freehypes]

the rich get richer. good for her. but she's a typical wealthy international student. definitely gonna be set in life already. wonder what her parents do back in home country - bet they're insanely rich lol

Didn't you watch the video, it clearly stated what her parents do for a living...

[@emmarose7491]

Banker and biohealth.

[@nam-a-style]

The biggest question is: how can she work as an international student? Literally every F1 visa student can only earn money from crappy campus jobs or through internships. And in her case she only makes around $6,000 through her internship and the rest were KZbin and Tutoring???? How is that even possible since it's illegal for international students to have income from KZbin???

[@gdl30]

Very true- maybe she isn’t F1?

[@BearingMySeoul]

Maybe she registered her channel in Singapore. I think your channel has to be in the country where you have a bank account? You can use paypal for tutoring and map it to your home country. Not too hard. 🤷🏽

[@gdl30]

Maybe she gets paid not in American dollars but from foreign money

[@nam-a-style]

It doesn't really matter. If she put some "work" and "earn" money while she is staying & studying in the US it's literally illegal for F1 students. Taking cash/paypal from foreign money while "tutoring from the US" is still illegal.

[@BearingMySeoul]

@@nam-a-style When I lived overseas on a tourist visa, I did remote work in the US and was paid in US dollars which was perfectly legal to do since I wasn't working via the foreign country's economy. I'm pretty sure the same rule applies in this case. The US doesn't want foreign students working via the US economy but they're welcome to exploit whatever other economy they so choose. The visa limitations aren't in place to impoverish students so much as to protect local economy.

Similar age. I make 80k base salary annually. With overtime, my income can get comparatively astronomical. I also live in Chicago. In three years, I'll reach 100k base. I have no student debt. I'm not privileged; I grew up in the nearby hoods. This girl is impressive, in many ways. I definitely could not do what she does. However, find your own way. Don't believe that just because you weren't fortunate enough to get a similar head start that you're out of the race.

[@kartikvaish7462]

I don’t get it. She said that she is an international student, which means she’s probably on an F-1(student) visa. Kids on student visas are only allowed to have sources of income from skills that were acquired from the respective degree that they’re enrolled in. She said she’s in STEM, but tutors IB English to kids? Please correct me if I’m wrong, but that sounds like she is in violation of her immigration status.

[@yasmineelhadi5511]

as far as i know, international students are allowed to work part time outside their degree during the course of their study

[@LadyPoochieLe]

She’s in a grey legal area here. The income earned outside the US (legal) but the work is done in the US (not quite legal). This could be an issue in the future for her but with her parents’ money, it’s not such a huge risk. Most international students that are not as privileged generally avoid this route unless they have a different way to get their work visa/residency

[@SL-lz9jr]

She makes more per hour tutoring than some of us with college degrees already. Sigh. Why wasn’t I the revered Asian child? Instead, I went for a life of poverty. Sigh. Must marry rich now. Or win the lottery. For a rich Asian international student, she’s very humble. Not at all like most international Asian students I come across or observe. I’m Asian American and it drives me nuts when white people think I’m one of those wealthy international Asian people. I wish! My parents went from rural poverty to middle class American life. It’s incredibly humbling. Still, I’m lucky to be in a very comfortable situation despite choosing to work in nonprofit and not earning a large salary. I really appreciate her candor, her intelligence, her future-thinking, and her self-awareness. I wouldn’t mind having more friends in my network who were more like her. It’s just so refreshing to have someone with all of these qualities. I like my friends. They’re great people but I wish there was more of a challenge. More intelligent debates. More knowledge sharing. More ambition. All my friends seem comfortable in their lives and it’s too easy to get comfortable with your own life. Granted, we are older and at a point in our lives when stability becomes important but I would never want stability at the cost of growth and development

Not a commentary on her, but man when I was in college I barely had $100 in my bank, drove a old ‘86 honda crx, was in a cramped dorm, and barely ate food. It’s amazing the stark contrast to the lives of college students with rich parents. She’s definitely a good mind to understand her privilege and deserves all she has.

[@cordeliapinamonti3598]

Good for her! Wish her the best. She’s a typical wealthy international student tho. We all really just wanna acquire a high level of attainment. Sometimes i wonder why people still hold cash in this economy, and with the way our economy keeps evolving. If you hold stock, trade and invest in the stock market instead, there’s a 100% chance you won’t lose money, but increase your portfolio instead.

She seems like a sweet kid but seems to feel some kind of guilt for her family's success, she shouldn't. Her parents are able to pay for her school because of generational wealth. Either they or their parents before them worked for that wealth for the sole purpose of ensuring their children will have the best opportunities in the future. It's something we should all strive for.

[@tigerak02]

How does this help regular people who don't have wealthy parents, this is hilarious. You need to do stories on millennial multimillionaires that had student loan debt and didn't have wealthy parents. Also, no more stories on people doing blue collar hard labor jobs with low wages.

[@Naomi-xu4hq]

There’s a bunch of videos of people with student debt. There’s already like 5 videos of just medical students having to pay back their debt while working in residency. There’s many videos of POC who landed great jobs out of Ivy League colleges and have to pay debt back. “Regular people” aren’t going to do anything when they see someone makes $48K per year they’re just going to keep being regular this channel is for people of all income types, gender, demographic, etc. look through their playlist and there will be many different options. Last added note a lot of these people who graduate from Columbia, or a top 50 school went to cc for the first two years and saved a ton of cash
