How much money are new college grads making at Chapman University?
In this video, I interview new Chapman University ($90k per year total tuition, located in Southern California) grads about their majors, what jobs they have lined up, their starting salaries, GPA, and a bunch of other insights and advice about college! I had a great time making this video, and I want to thank all the students I talked to for taking time away from celebrating with their families to talk to us!

Back in 2014, I graduated from UCLA with no job and no guaranteed income. So, if you're watching this video comparing yourself to these college grads, I want you to know that it's ok to not have a job right after graduating. All my friends had high-paying jobs, and I was doing side hustles and trying to start my own business. I was completely broke, but I eventually made it work! We are all on our own separate journeys, so it doesn't make sense to compare ourselves to others.
Anyways, you'll want to watch through the entire video to follow along with me as I talk to a ton of successful students, many of whom were going into good jobs with good salaries. I hope you guys enjoy this video! My goal with the channel is to motivate you guys with stories and experiences from other people that are on their own path, so that you can replicate their success, and avoid their mistakes.

Hope you enjoy this video and learn from their advice - thank you to all the students who talked to me and shared their stories -Charlie
My name is “Bright” 😁 Thank you Charlie for the interview 🙏
Thank you so much for interviewing me!
Your story was inspirational man. Congrats on graduating!
Congratulations young Man, keep soaring 🖤
You’re a stud bro
Your qualities are going to take you far in life. Don't change your humble, hard working, good nature!
Smart young man 🫡
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.
These kids all seem very bright and have promising futures! Thanks for highlighting them
@@eugenos Being bright is surface level. As a current student my peers are like brick walls sometimes.
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
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!
Charlie Chang, Your videos are fantastic! I just had to subscribe!
UCLA graduation is next weekend bro, pull up
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 🎉❤️🔥🤗
Congrats Moises! keep pushing
Thank you!
Great vid and advance, this group gives me hope for our future!
Great video to show my High Schooler. I appreciate the great content as always. 👊🏻
Always love these college graduate advice videos. Great work Charlie!
Almost 20yrs older, your generation is full of confidence, i like it!
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
Thank you for interviewing me and my classmates Charlie! You’re the best 😃
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.
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.
how much could i make with community college and state school?
@@Tasneemlikesstars3 The same, but you would pay a lot less for school.
@@Tasneemlikesstars3 U can literally get into Berkeley through community college, its wayyy easier.
@@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.
Dude very few people actually pay the full amount
Great video! Smart nice people will do great in life! 🤙
honestly this was a really good video
This video was fun! I love the attitude of everyone, especially the people who were interviewed.
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?
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.
@@DetroitLions515 I'm sorry to hear that but sounds like you've made some solid successes. Congrats!
Take a shot every time someone says they lost a parent and Charlie says nothing
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
@@akashs.2081 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?
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.
Sebright is gonna go placesssss. iconic
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
What a promising group of young ppl. So refreshing to see their focus and success. All the best to them. Their futures are bright!
This was a very good video. 😁
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?
welp i'll be your example now =))
These are some good kids. Very bright and grounded. Congratulations and more success to them!
Refreshing to see college kids finding job
Very cool to see a few accounting majors. I’m a cpa and the accounting industry needs more accounting grads.
Very promising new grads. I’d be honored to work with people like them
Wow. Thanks for making this video
❤❤❤ Another fabulous video ❤❤❤🎉
Thank you for what you do.
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 love this vid great ppl
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.
Agreed!
Charlie needs to learn to say sorry when people say they lost their parents but he's focused on the content and how much money they make
I think he might’ve been edited this out.
Why apologize for somebody else’s death? Everyone’s going to die eventually, nothing to be sorry for.. its natural.
Was Charlie the cause of their death?
@@easyy376 lol sympathy isn't a tough thing to give to people
No he doesn't
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
Yup
@@njpme not worth it
@@NNOutBurger_Gaming subjective
@@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
It’s 3 years AD for the benefits
Sebright’s family is loaded. House in Monaco 😮
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.
Good cope here
What alternative do you propose instead?
The classes are actually interesting as someone who majored in finance so it’s all perspective tbh
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.
Sad when people go out of their way to bring hate on such a positive video.
I'm glad I watched his marketing video fro Chapman
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
That foreign Belgium boy is so cute :)
omg you visited chapman? i wish i saw you there 😭
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
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.
Man $90k/ yr for Chapman University
$80k per year salary costs more than tuition . College is very expensive geez
in 3 year they'll be at 120k-150k
@@khraee buddy, that isn’t fucking shit in Cali.
@@ybbetter1339 120-150k at 25 years old IS fantastic
@@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?
@@seriessplayer62747 you can survive on 7k a month in cali easily
Monaco? So you rich rich ahha good for them!
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.
chapman got a free plug XD
You should interview engineering majors
How can the US be competitive with these insanely high salaries????
Knew Jared was a finance bro before he even said it
i’m conflicted, i want to complete college but feel resentment towards the education system. currently full time as a technician, but missing my undergrad degree. perhaps i should do accounting? since i want to have my own business in future.
you could look into community college! you can still get a great education but alot more affordable. just do make sure to do your research & all the best !
I have a degree in accounting and I have to say getting a full time job in almost any location is very easy it kind of a recession proof career also remote work is becoming more and more accepted. On the other hand if you work in public accounting there will be some very busy times of the year such as the tax season January - April where you can expect to work 60 or more hours per week. Accounting for a private company or the government is typically a more chill 9-5 but typically also comes with slower promotions and pay raises. Accounting is a good degree for someone who wants a desk/remote job that is unsure of what they are truly passionate about. If you get an accounting degree you can be rest assured you will be able to get a job in the field and can love a solid middle class/upper middle class life on that. There are higher paying fields like engineering and healthcare so also consider those if money is what you are after. Lastly even if you don't want to be an accountant it's still in my opinion the best degree for someone interested in business. If you go into business for yourself you need to know proper accounting practices and it helps to know about business taxes as it has a huge impact on your business and there are ways to strategize for optimal results. CPAs are not cheap and charge by the billable hour so if you as a business owner can do as much if the accounting work on your own as possible it will save you a lot of money. There is also a lot of legal compliance issues with accounting so being knowledgeable about it can be a good way to CYOA(cover your own ass).
Most of the graduates have moderate to high income families/backgrounds.
Tell that to Moises
@@Andy-bh8hw He was the outlier.
Yep, Rich kids haven't really easy.
Connections!!!
Whoa! And got to speak to the DEAN that’s awesome! 👏
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? :(
Lock in
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.
You should do a school that has an engineering school.. please
I graduated with a bachelor's in Psychology. My current role is Software Development Engineer.
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.
damn, you can’t just move to monaco lol
Surprised most of these kids have jobs lined up
1 hr ago is crazy though
Girl in the thumbnail looks like the HAWK TUAH girl 🤣
Anything 100k and below in La and such is essentially poverty. So if you’re watching from the east coast 100k is like 33k.
Full time jobs are hard to come by, why would an accounting firm hire a fresh graduate?
internships
DEI
@@jasonreviews Asians and Middle Easterns do not count for DEI
Bro I sold cars at 19 and was making well over 6 figures when you factor in commissions
Do you think Cyberopolis will pump before XRP?
Dude, you need to get Cyberopolis NOW!
Asking business majors how they got that GPA is funny
Michael is lying, ain't no way homeboy is 22 looking like he just turned 41 😂
In the next bull run, keep an eye on DOT, VRA, and SOL, but don't overlook Cyberopolis's CYBER
Grad inflation is off the scale!!
What their starting salary is or will be? They aren’t working yet. That’s their supposed starting salary?
GC entry level at 97 huh... I guess being in America does make a huge diff.
Hmm 75 k for software engineer seems low. Is that how much they pay Software engineers now?
Hopefully they didn't have student loans since 90k is very expensive for college. There smart and already have jobs line up. it's tough to get jobs in tech or business since most are lay off with this tough economy. The last student that does engineering, she will do well and can easily get a job if she gets lay off.
Accounting or audit jobs will lead you to a life of boredom and unfulfillment.
Whatever pays the bills. Plus it’s just the start of their careers. Not everyone can be a CZcamsr or social influencer.
For some people (like myself), but not all.
It may pay the bills but at some point you might realize you spent years in a cubicle analyzing spreadsheets while never actually living life. Slaving away 7-6 Monday through Friday (it's not 9-5 get real) just to enjoy 2 days a week repeatedly over 50 years is not a life worth living.
You're looking it at all wrong. The economy is bad and the job market is very tight right now. If you're able to land a stable job with a decent salary today, you should absolutely take it. You can always pivot to something else in the future. A lot of people are struggling to find full-time work and pay their bills right now.
@@VegitoAttacks thats literally every job.. what you think bunch of people in trades do? The only way you can live a free world is you either run a business and become your own person but of course, that requires an exponential of luck and skills(experience) to come to that conclusion and not everybody has that will so these people will be slave to the system cause the system thinks for them.
When people post their salary is that before or after taxes?
Likely before taxes
Real estate is good ?
Shout to my college girls 🎓!!!!!!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳
Bruh how is the person with an EE making the lowest salary
If she had gotten a BSCS that would've gotten her a $90K starting salary, but since she has a BSEE, she can always go back for a MSCS, she would've gotten an $85K start if she stayed with a BSEE doing robotics, so the joke's on her!!
@@kevinb8881 EE is not in demand, software is way bigger.
@@McFlashh Yeah that I know for sure!!
Ok cool. Now follow them 2 years from now
75k/yr for my bachelors and 120k/yr for my masters soon (in a LCOL state). If this was in california or something i’d prob get another 30k on both, lol.
you should color grade this more
Why is there only 1 engineering student, that's disappointing
Luckily I can defer my debt while in grad school - careful there!
Should have asked how much debt , ther very important
crying in European salaries, we can dream about these salaries 😢
A big salary with a big student loan debt is wash.
Real Estate Development kids family is loaded
Just need to work in papas company and you make 7 figures at 16.
six figure income out of college but $350,000 in debt = broke.
