She Spent $80k on College. She Wants A $200k Salary Immediately.

Today I’m reacting to some of the most viral conversation-starting TikToks I’ve seen this week: a brand new college grad who’s looking to start at $200k salary, a 25-year-old woman who’s proudly living at home, men making OOTD videos, and much more. Let’s get into it!

She should remember that even doctors who make 300k+ first had to fulfill a residency where they scraped by with barely 45k a year. It doesn't come just because you got a slip of paper

[@lesaubergines]

Yup! My doctor friend worked her ass off

[@kreationsbykaze1105]

Thats because residency is basically a paid internship funded by Medicaid but salaries for residency can range from 60,000 to 150k depending on specialty. Most of your lower range salaries are for primary care drs and office drs not surgeons and trauma physicians etc But you also forget that during while receiving lower salaries the overwhelming amount od Drs have their student loans paid off by their employer in exchange for a contract of X amount of years

[@nspencer257]

​@kreationsbykaze1105 wait what residents are making 150k?? We went to the wrong program 😂😂 -I hope that didn't sound sarcastic, I was genuinely curious because I've never heard of residents making that much. I have seen some fellows make that in their second year though.

[@kreationsbykaze1105]

@@nspencer257 most federal healthcare residents make an average $160,000/year, this can obviously fluctuate with specialty and location but is the national average. But people in the private who make $80,00 or maybe less need to calculate in the med school students loans that are usually being paid off by the employer so it evens out I would say....

[@nspencer257]

@kreationsbykaze1105 uhhhh I'm married to a doctor and we have tons of doctor friends all over the US. No one makes that much. Highest salary I saw in the 60 programs we applied for was 65k and that was in higher cost of living areas. Lower cost of living make maybe 55k. They might be slightly higher with inflation but not 160k. You might be looking at attending salaries.

First intelligent comment I've read.

[@tarapeters6711]

My son returned to college to pursue an advanced degree. He lives at home (but pays his tuition and his bills) to save money simply because tuition AND rent AND utilities would just put him into massive debt. I enjoy being able to help him out just a bit until he is ready to go forth on his own with zero debt. Also, students should not attend super expensive universities while pursuing worthless mediocre degrees-that’s just good common sense!

[@ckosturik]

It's great that you do that for them. I couldn't imagine it myself... Once I moved out, I simply can't imagine living with my parents again. I love them and enjoy visiting them, but could never live with them again. Two of my brothers did stay at home until well into adulthood, though. One because he had his own entrance into the house into his room and another because he had some mental health issues and he couldn't hold a job for long enough to save any money to move out.

[@PolitikPolitik-fh2qc]

I don't see anything wrong with it. But I'm 30 doing extremely well taking care of my wife and 2 of my own children. Lifes not that hard. Inflation of course is making it suck. But I did it all without anything from my parents. Not because they wouldn't but because I didn't want to ask. Idk. I don't really care about how other people are treated when they turn 18. I just think this narrative gets pushed that it's harder than it is out there. I lived with my wife (fiance at the time) off poverty wage for one of us. We lived ina small studio. We ate out of the dollar store and had tv and internet and still went out. I did that below the poverty line. If you want to give them a headstart while they save. I think thats fine. But I do see a lot of adults relying on their parents a little too much imho.

Before my husband and I got married, my parents had an unfinished walk-out basement that they allowed us to design and finish out. We have lived here for 3 years and pay a minimal amount in rent while I finish graduate school and he works to save us money. While living with parents as a young married couple does have its cons, considering our financial situation while I finish school/current economical climate, we have never been more grateful for the opportunity to live with them. It has allowed us freedom to travel, avoid unnecessary stress, and grow without the worry of a mortgage. The pressure to keep up with the Jones’s and “have it all” before you’re 25 is just not realistic any more. It’s time we start normalizing responsible decision making.

[@Nahnah111]

I’m not saying this is the norm, but being able to afford a house and car before 25 is absolutely doable. My husband and I bought our first home at 20 and 22. Were about to sell so we can buy a second. Single-income household, neither of us have a degree, and outside of our mortgage we have almost no debt. Yes, we have children. It’s hard. I’m not going to say it isn’t. But it is absolutely doable and everyone saying it’s not are just bringing down the next generation of young adults who automatically think they’ll never be able to advance in the world because everything costs too much.

[@haleighmunson7139]

@@Nahnah111 owning your own home and a car is one thing. Going on expensive trips, spending frivolously, purchasing depreciating assets excessively isn’t…which was the comparison I was drawling with the term “keeping up with the Jones’s”. Everyone’s financial situation is different. And the whole point of my comment was to discourage our generation and future ones, from buying the lie of consumerism that the media will have you choke down. Especially if paired with a lack of work ethic and discipline. So, I’m not sure you watched the video and made the connection with my comment in its context or not. But I’ll reiterate to anyone reading this: If you’re actively working on bettering your life whether by entrepreneurship, education, etc and you CAN rent from family, or heck, for free while you save money for future investments. Do that. And do that proudly. That’s wisdom. But congrats on owning your car and house that’s, special…?

Even a lawyer straight out of university isn't going to be making six figures right away, unless maybe they're coming from some prestigious university. A degree doesn't entitle you to your dream job immediately, but it does make it easier to move up to it more quickly as you gain related experience. Ultimately though it's still going to come down to competence.

[@MissVendetta]

My parents made me go to a community college first to get the basics and then I transferred to STATE university. My parents also allowed me to live at home for free provided I was in school and also had a job to pay my own way. I saved SO much money this way because I wasn't paying for a dorm, or some fancy university, or taking out extra loans to pay for transportation/food/etc. Of course, I also completed a PhD in Biochemistry which ultimately pays more than a marketing bachelor's degree.

[@Greenrivers14]

That is the ideal situation honestly. some people don't get along with their parents at all.

[@biblicalworldview1]

Yes! I am doing the same thing with my own children. Anyone can pay their own way through Community College and even State College depending on the state. Also not everyone needs to finish college in 4 years I need to take a couple extra years to pay for all of it. At the very least they would have very small debt or none especially considering what minimum wage is now. Those following a different path made their own poor choices.

Girl kinda does have a point, and I do say KINDA because yes, you have to start from the bottom in any field you work. The problem is that colleges hype up students, lying to them, saying their degrees are the experience that they need to get the career they are working towards, not telling them that they still need experience, and volunteer or do an internship/externship while in school so they have that experience when they graduate.

[@clwaid5407]

I do and always have. I will burst over inflated bubbles from day one. Depending upon the degree, some students will walk out with 3 figure salaries and no they are not doctors. However, it might mean moving. All students need to do research before pursuing higher education.

[@clwaid5407]

I can't tell you how many unemployed alumni I see who graduated with nothing but their grades and a part time job at Pizza Hut. Where were your internships? Your course projects, Employers want to see experience even related experience. They don't care if the internship is for or not for credit. The internship serves as their entry level employment. While in school this means sacrifices. Like a summer internship and no to the beach.

​@skygreen133 yes absolutely. We all start from the bottom. But I do get where she is coming from as it pertains to they don't tell you the truth about getting experience. Instead of schools saying "a degree is what you need" they need to tell the students they still need to work. As much as I think college these days is a big giant scam, I will always tell a student that is in school, whatever job they want, they need to go there and ask for a position, whether that's working as a janitor, or just regular volunteer work. Get to know the people, get tips on the job you want to do. That way, when they do graduate, they can easily say "I have experience" . That way, they don't have to work entry level.

Even to the point of the mid-1970s, a bachelor degree guarantee a person a white collar job with a salary almost adequate enough to purchase a starter home after a few years of work, e.g. a small house - but still a house with land. Awhile they would be able to support a spouse and children, and if they were financially minded also able to save for retirement, either by certified saving deposit (e.g. CD) or other investment vehicle (though they were less sophisticated then now financial products - as the Mathematics to derived such products did not exist yet.), or through a pension, which was still a thing at that point, until a few years after Corporate America decided to scrape the whole pension system to save money. Anyhow a white collar job paid roughly 8.70 USD an hour, which in presentday-value is roughly 68.00 USD an hour; so, a single income family could live the American dream quite easily in comparison today. Presently a bachelor degree does not guarantee a job, except for a minimum wage job, or manual labor job, neither of those type of work requires an bachelor degree to perform. The expected pay for a bachelor has actually decreased since the mid-1970 from roughly 8.70 USD to exactly 7.25 USD, which is the minimum wage. So not only has the earning potential for the millennial and zoomed generation not kept up with previous generations, it has dramatically decreased since then. If one is fortunate they would receive 30 USD an hour with a bachelor or master degree, which us less than half of the mid-1970s hourly rate, and so, that person cannot afford a family, cannot afford a starter home in a few years of work, and most likely will not be able to save enough to retire ever. Yeah, we have it harder then you guy. Also add that I am a white man, and that I now experience discrimination that you both probably never did, and so, it is even worst.

I did community college first, then transferred to a 4 year. The 4 year was so expensive and I after one semester I realized how dumb it was to spend that much money on a bachelors in business. I ended up getting a job at the university in their financial aid office, which heavily subsidized the cost of tuition. I worked full time and ended up getting my BS and MBA with very little debt. But I’d counsel new students coming in and they just had no clue the financial responsibility they where taking out by getting that much student debt. I always encouraged people to think about what job they want and how to pay that back when they graduate. It’s just not something people are considering..

That's what college will get you. A degree and nothing more. You need to take internships, put yourself into the workfield and harness understanding of the work environment. You have a degree, not real life experience or weighed the benefits of your degree can achieve off the bat. You only saw the end goal, not the steps needed. The lie of college is that getting a degree will open all the doors, not realizing that the door is on the bottom floor, and you've gotta work your way upwards. College isn't worth it if you don't have real life experience to back up that degree to show for it.

Where are you thinking of living, a busy city? This feels like someone complaining about not being able to buy a flat in London or a detached massive 4-bedroom house. You can find way far cheaper places if you just lower your standards. The monthly bill should be nowhere near 1k unless you are actively choosing a big location or a lavish house. The amount of people who say this yet own expensive consoles, high-end brands, constant takeaway, subscriptions, and maybe even use a hottub or similar every now and then make me believe most people can't afford it because they're splurging their money elsewhere. Even many years ago when air conditioning and double glazed windows weren't a thing in houses, only the rich could afford to buy a house deposit as a young adult. People forget that what minimum wage is now, minimum wage back then was minuscule. A 100k house isn't something to brag about when they might've only earned 4/hr.

It’s so funny that people get so self absorbed and think they’re better than the average person. I graduated high school and then decided I didn’t want to go to university (in Australia). After school I worked at Maccas for a while before moving on to numerous jobs in retail and sales. I then got a job at a bank, started earning about $50k. After a year of working there, I moved onto another bank in a better position and started earning about $70k. Now another year down the track, I’m 22, I have bought a house and a car. I’m in a stable relationship and have recently been offered a new job that will pay me even more, with the ability to increase in the future. But I’m sure that’s just my white privilege and not my hard work to thank for my current lifestyle. Couldn’t be sexism though, I’m a woman.

[@jenniferpearce1052]

I've got an Australian friend who came to the US about 20 years ago. She married my coworker, which is how we met. She said the whole job market in the US is different. In the US, people wouldn't hire an 18 year old out of high school for an office job. They want a degree for that, even if nothing they learned in school would be needed. It's ridiculous here. But we also baby our 18 year olds and don't set the expectation that they are ready to behave as adults and be responsible at 18. That makes it hard for a responsible 18 year old who doesn't want to go to college but is ready to start a career type of job.

Yeaaah I think there's something to be said about people going into higher education because "that's just what you do". There needs to be a light shone on jobs that don't require long-term study if people are more concerned about earning than learning and saying that these options exist. And you don't have to go to college straight out of highschool, most school leavers don't even know what they're going to do. If you're going to be in debt, you may as well make your time there count. There definitely needs to be a rewrite of the "school to work" narrative and I get at the end of the day that educational institutions are businesses that make money but I think there also needs to be a revamp on which jobs require degrees and which don't. Asking for 4 year degree for an entry level job to do tasks that you learn on the job is a bit silly in my opinion.

The pressure on youngsters to go to uni is way too extreme. My sixth form college basically gave up on me when I decided uni wasn't for me. I didn't want the debt, I knew my degree wouldn't equate to automatically being employed, so therefore what was the point? Instead I went full time at work (at a local opticians) to try and work out where I wanted to go in life. Several months later my boss told me that he thought I'd make a good optician. He said you can study part time and work full time and he would fund it. I jumped on that and ended up finishing at the same time as most of my friends completed their master's degrees. What's scandalous is I had a busier timetable in one day than they had in a week. Also I had no debt, no tie in with work and a professional qualification. For so many this is a better path and it fills a role in society.

And all the my kids father was in my life we separated for personal reasons. But staying with family was never an option I had to get out and figure it out so that I could provide for my children. My family was not going to do it it’s not their responsibility. Even if it was just me nobody felt responsible to take care of me. My mom passed away when I was 15 and my dad was always on drugs so he kind of just did his own thing. And as for my grandmother and aunts and uncles like I said I’m not their responsibility and they made that very clear. I wish I freaking had a family member that was just loving and nurturing. Although my mother was that kind of a person I lost her when I was 15 and she was struggling herself at that time.

I was 23 when I finished my 2nd degree (BA, BEd). I knew going in I would not walk right into a full-time teaching position, and that it would take several years before I got job security or a decent-enough salary. I had to work a second job for a few years at the start; had I pursued that other job (retail) I could have risen through the ranks and made a lot more than I was making teaching at that time. Howerver, I'd have eventually hit the rock-hard cieling at that job. Now that I've been in education for 10 years, my salary has increased every year, I've upgraded to a Masters with a serious pay bump, and can do an upgrade twice more. Granted, I won't make 200k at any point, but over a long career I'll end up doing well. A career is a marathon, not a sprint.

[@T0beyeus]

I will say 80k for college isn't the worst I have seen, it is pretty bad since we can assume the 80k is the leftover debt after whatever else they paid and or used grants on. I work in college admissions and my college offers a relatively affordable Bachelors degree for 40k if In-State, 45.5k for Out-of-State (If you take advantage of discounts we offer). If you are a smart In-State resident and complete your Associates at your local Community college you can complete an Associates and the Bachelors for 20-22k depending on your county since we offer a scholarship to In-State residents who complete their Associates and transfer to us. You can certainly make good money starting out depending on where you live and what your degree is in, it will not be 200k though. You can start off ahead by getting an affordable education in an in demand field and make better starting money than most. Also something always worth considering is joining the military! They will pay for your undergraduate education and then you can use your Post 9/11 GI bill to pay for a Masters degree. While you earn that masters you can select program that allows you to work while doing it and earn BHA from the VA, essentially getting paid to go to college while you work a job.

Yes, that’s indeed a very sane approach to growing up and staying with your parents. I have three adult kids between 19 and 31. We’ve also taken in my 97 y/o mother to our household, since she can't live in her own any more. We live together like any group of adults sharing a house, sharing expences, and sharing household chores. That said, I'd never be able to mantain myself, the kids and my mom on my salary alone, but as we pull the weight together we all benefit from the situation. I don't get why "kids" in their mid 20s, with employments and salaries, are supposed to be living with their parents totally rent free for extended or indefinite time. You wouldn’t expect any other adult to offer you housing and food for free.

When 40s come, parents start needing assistance, and it's much easier to provide it when you live together 🤷🏻‍♀️ I totally get the preference of having your own house, I would like that too.

If this was like a year and a half ago. I would have been like having a house in 30 is very reasonable. But ya interest and housing rates and prices are so high.

My wife's mom lives with us to help out. She's at the age and ability tho where it's mostly sometimes we leave her alone with the kids and thats the most she does. But ya I mean technically if your an only child you could just eventually assume the house assuming the partner is ok with that. And just kind of keep the house in the family. I think the whole moving out on the own thing is more to get away from siblings if anything else. Cause thats a sustainable life as an only child where you just take the house and take care of your parents. But I have 4 brothers. So thats basically impossible.

What you said about creating value for yourself inspired me Taylor. I also think it’s worth discussing how unfortunately young people are cursed with a lack of hindsight. We are told from a young age that it’s normal to go into a ton of debt for college even if we don’t know ourselves at all or what we want. Personally, I went into debt for a degree I didn’t like at all and I’m doing nothing with it by choice. This is my situation and I’m dealing with it by moving forward, however, I do recognize that I was trying to follow a path because everyone told me to and I didn’t know any better because I was young. I think a lot of us are not critical thinkers when we are young, so not much blame should be placed on us. I do think it’s important to take responsibility for it though. It’s only when you take responsibility that you can truly change and move forward. So with that being said, yes I made that decision when I was younger because I didn’t know any better, but I take responsibility for the fact that I still made the decision nonetheless so what am I going to do about it now? Sorry I know this was a rant, but I think it’s worth mentioning. Love the conversations you both start.

I wish I had parents that cared

If you’re young and want to build skills for future success, go in to customer service of any kind. Learn learn learn and build yourself up by doing more than the bare minimum. I have a music business degree and worked my way from beer and pizza slinger to IT project manager. Put in the smart, hard work (continuing education classes look good on a resume) and trust the process.

After I graduated from college (Diploma, computer programming in a business environment), I didn't get the nice programming jobs until TWO years later. I did data entry, computer operations. Some of these jobs were night shift. This was back in the 1980s. Why should things be any different now?

When it comes to turning down advances it depends on the vibe they give off, sometimes you know you can say hey, thanks but I'm not interested. But sometimes you get that vibe that being blunt is probably going to end ugly. We've all seen how ugly being told no can get. And when you are at work you aren't always free to say what you want how you want.

To that girl with the marketing degree…seriously? How did you get a degree with intelligence such as yours? Did no one tell you that there has to be an opening in that field before you can be hired, and that you may actually have to settle on Burger King a little while longer? And whenever you’re hired, you start at the BOTTOM! Especially, if you have no experience. And, YES, they will hire the ones with experience before you. That’s how it works with any degree. You have to work your way up. Things are not just handed to you just because you want them. Unlike the cost of your education (Thanks to this President), that appears to be wasted at this point. OMGosh! How many more like this will we have to pay for? Ugh!🙄

I live in Canada, and I went to college for 8 years, 4 years for business advertising and 4 years for music business and I literally started at the very bottom. I was doing the worst jobs before I found the great one I have now. I graduated about 15 years ago and about 3 or 4 years ago I got situated my dream job. I finished paying off my students debts give it take 2 years ago. I am very happy where I am now.

Degree does not equal experience. It might put you ahead of somebody who has experience who is old. But if it's somebody who's middle-aged, who has a lot of time left who has way more experience, they're gonna take that person over a degree unless you come in, talking about doing things and sounding like you know what you're talking about from the start. No questions asked you don't need any help at all. Then you can demand that kind of money. But when you've never even had a job in the industry. You really don't know what it takes to do that job. Every job has tricks to the trade and nuances. That you're not going to learn from books. Not to mention you can't remember every little thing that you're talk. But you can remember actual life experiences. So when you start doing the job, and you start failing, that's how you learn. Or when you start succeeding, that's how you learn

I lived in the basement of my grandparents house for 3 years. My fiance and i wished we would have made a deal with my grandoarents for her to move in with me so we could save the money we are spending rent right now for a down payment on a house. In 2 years with our current salary, we could have had $20,000 in savings rather then rent. Also, lets take a secind to thank the parents and gaurdains that let their kids stay home and dont force their kids out. 🙏

I am a boomer mom living with my daughter, son-in-law, one of my 2 sons and 3 grown grandkids. I pay rent, buy groceries, do housework and cook at least 4-5 days a week and we are all very happy and get along great. My daughter is a teacher, her husband works at Fed Ex, my son works full time and the grandkids work and go to college. It's all good and we love the arrangement.
