bunch of other questions I'm super excited to see what they have to say let's get started [Music] thank you foreign [Music] major my name is Chase Higgins I'm 21 and my major is Communications what do you hope to do with that degree with that degree I'm hoping to get out of Long Beach in two years and then come back to school to get my teaching credential what would be your dream job if money was an issue probably like be a lifeguard because I love the beach I love being outside do you currently have a job or a side hustle I currently do have a job I work for MOD Pizza in Huntington Beach I'm actually repping the shirt so because I got a work this afternoon but I really enjoy it and it's really fun how much do you make at MOD Pizza at MOD Pizza we make 17.50 an hour that's really amazing do you have any advice for people that want to budget better it helps like talking to people that have been there and like are in financial crisis I went to my parents for advice and they kind of sat down with me and they made a plan about okay so if you get paid 600 a paycheck then you got to put x amount of money into gas x amount money into activities so that way you still have like lots of income coming in but you're budgeting that money in case something does happen what's your biggest expense right now probably School but luckily I've got family and friends along with my financial aid so it's not that big of a burden but that is definitely my biggest expense how much money to quit calls right now oh no I need college I don't think I could put a price on that I need an education I think I could go far with that what's the craziest thing you've ever done to make money my friend offered me 20 bucks to jump off the pier at Huntington I just did it it got pretty easy 20 bucks so worth it it was worth it what's the crazy thing you've done to save money when I was coaching basketball at Huntington Beach High School this past summer I would ride my bike so instead of taking my car and being there in five minutes I would ride my bike and be there in like 30 minutes what advice do you have for incoming or current college students it's all it's been very helpful to find a nice club trying to be an extrovert even though I'm very introverted I just got to talk to people got to make friends I love playing basketball so luckily here at CSULB we got that Rec Center what do you think is a perfect side hustle for college students part-time job I think just getting out there whether it's on campus to make it easy so that way you don't have to commute or if it's off campus somewhere close as long as it's part time it works what's the dumbest purchase you've ever made at Target with my girlfriend there was this pencil holder we found when we were going back to school shopping and it was like a shark and you put all your pencils and stuff in the shark's mouth they'll hold it and I think that's pretty dumb but she wanted it so I got it can't argue with a woman happy wife happy life that's right what's the most amount of money you've ever spent on a meal it would be Chipotle when I get the quesarito because it's like four dollars extra but it's bomb so instead of like a 10 or 9 burrito it's like a 15 burrito it's worth it 100 what's your name age and what's your major I mean Yuki I'm 21 years old my major is International Development studies so how do you make money I'm more focused on like saving money I guess I actually graduated like school out one year early so that like you saved me like around like 45k of tuition where are you from I'm from Japan did you find College was worth it yes and no so yes because like it opened up a lot of doors but I also no because like there's a lot of jobs that you don't really need valued College names and you still can make a lot of money especially in the U.S do you have any advice for international college students pick a measure that is useful because I pick like International Development and there's not much job for that how much money would I have to give you to take away your college degree I don't know only 50K what's the craziest thing you've done to save money the graduating one year early was a little tough I only had like 90 units 90 quarter units and I had to finish up like not another 90 quarter units in a year do you reckon all college students graduate early no I think because like it's a very like Precious time like during college you you have lot of time free time so you know you can do like side hustles or like do a lot of like social stuff like go to parties make friends and like have fun like you know maybe start new hobbies what's a daily habit you do that everyone should do go to gym yeah I think uh discipline is like a very key to be successful and like going to gym every day like make you realize oh you can do things you know I love that yeah how many times you gym per week obviously now um I go only like two three times a week it was because like I'm working full-time and I'm taking like four summer classes but I shouldn't like make excuses all right so you're gonna start gyming four to five times a week no sure sure thank you so much what's your name age and what's your major I'm Harrison Bingham I am 22 and my major is English education what's your side hustle my side hustle is I run a sports book my sportsbook's located in Costa Rica so it's an offshore sports book so it's legal it's a loophole in the law through California there's an article written in 2012 called the Costa Rican Gold Rush and explains how if there's a sports book in an offshore place and and it's kind of a loophole so how'd you get started with that I started about four years ago I was bartending guys were yelling about sports and I met a guy who ran this website

have any advice for incoming college students don't stress out too much stuff like everything in life everyone wants to figure out right away but things figure themselves out like no one really has life figured out like it just kind of happens and I feel like that's the number one thing is everyone's like rushing rushing rushing rushing to like get to like their end goal but it's like take a deep breath and enjoy the moment because you're only going to be young like this for so long what do you think is a perfect side hustle for college students I'd say like get into something that you

Fan Company you really got to get really good at interviews because like Tech interviews are like the craziest like most difficult thing right now but if you pass those like a six-figure job salary so would you say that computer science is like your passion no I'd say no but like I think it's definitely what I want to do for a career I don't think career is the same thing as a passion though why not because you could have a passion that doesn't make money if that makes sense but obviously like everyone wants to make money so that's why I chose computer science because I feel like it's the best career to have to make money how much money to quit college right now enough to start a business maybe like a million dollars a million dollars 500 000 maybe no I wouldn't even quit college for 500 000. enough to be financially stable I guess yeah what would you spend that million dollars on I bought a car I'm honest what car I buy a race car buy like a GTR or something and then I'd spend

do not procrastinate try to work on your time management and stay hydrated why stay hydrated because it's hot and we're at the beach what's the daily habit you do that you think everyone should do say five things they like about themselves and at least two things that they want to work on so that way it builds up your confidence but it's not too high where you think you're above everybody else how much money would I pay you to quit college right now you have to give me a billion dollars to quit college a billion why so much because I'm in college for the outcome in the long run what's the crazy

like a dollar because they were pretty big so like what was your profit margin on those churros probably like 500 a day where would you sell the trails at so my mom used to work at Albertsons and because like she was really cool with her manager I asked if I could sell them outside of the store and they said yeah that is amazing wow I feel like everyone should try selling churros or something something yeah at least something what would be your dream job if money wasn't an issue probably helping with kids because I know that teachers don't really get paid a lot so like if that wasn't an issue I would probably do something with kids or I would even volunteer that's really respectable what do you think is your biggest expense right now food for sure how much do you smell in food per
