The alleged earnings of the streamers most viewed in the world, giving input to the question about who has more likely to have better income, content creators or college graduates.
Higher university education in Mexico is a possibility to which a small number of students have access; According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in its 2017 Education Panorama report, it was recorded that only two out of 10 adults over 25 years of age have had access to study a career university. Similarly, the report shows that this is one of the nations with one of the highest numbers of young people who neither study nor work (eighth place); Among the countries with the most university-level studies are Korea, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg.
The arrival of social networks gave rise to various platforms finding a way to provide new live content that allowed users to interact with content creators instantly, one of the best known today, Twitch. This platform is constantly growing from content creators and currently we can find accounts with more than a million followers, for example Ibai Llanos, Rubius and AuronPlay. The high number of followers they have allows brands, companies and marketing agencies to collaborate in order to increase their sales, present new products, etc., causing this to be their source of income, in addition to those generated. for the sponsorships on the platform.
Quite possibly, within this world full of public figures, streamers and influencers, you have asked yourself the question whether it is really worth having university studies to have a better income, so today we bring you some factors to consider before making a decision that may affect your future.
University graduates
According to the National Survey of Graduates 2018 (ENE), of 12 thousand graduates in Mexico who were asked the questions and were looking for their first job, they would receive between 3 thousand and 8 thousand pesos per month, registering an average earnings of 6,404 pesos per month (depending on their career), that is, 76,848 pesos per year. However, the site of Talent It mentions on its website that professionals who already have some experience could earn up to 143,194 pesos per year.
Despite having exceptions and exclusive cases of people who come to generate higher figures, these represent a minority and many factors come into play, such as geographical location, social status, contacts, etc. In both cases, this type of wages are usually stable and with greater opportunities for opportunity and in the sector labor.
Streamers
On the other hand, we have the Streamers that were recently published in a list where their income was shown, reaching figures of even up to 3 million dollars in less than two years. However, this number is a small case of people who have had job success in this area. It is difficult to determine an average income that these creators have since many factors come into play, for example the number of niche followers, collaborations with brands, sponsorships, etc. However, it is known that for each subscription on Twitch, 50 percent of the figure goes to the content creator and the other 50 to the platform.
Despite this, according to Marca citing Kilian Arjona, CTO at Flexxible IT, 90 percent of Twitch broadcasts in Spanish have approximately 3 or fewer viewers on average and that only 5 percent of users achieve reach an average of more than 45 spectators. However, it should be noted that there is a difference between viewers and people who pay for a subscription (which are more than 70 percent less).
Taking into account that each subscription to the platform costs 91.98 Mexican pesos, the creators They should have approximately monthly subscribers to be able to have the salary of a recent graduate in Mexico, a figure that is somewhat difficult to achieve.
Considering the percentage probability of success on Twitch to achieve the income of a minimum wage are less than 5 percent, the College graduates are more likely to generate better income.
Despite the fact that in effect, you can earn millions of dollars being a streamer, enter this world and have similar success as the best in the world filtered in the previous list, the chances of success are almost nil. By studying a university degree you have more likely to generate higher income at the time of graduation, compared to the world of Twitch that must start from scratch.
Both salaries, either college graduates and streamers, can be affected by different factors, either by sponsorships, business opportunities, effective positioning strategies, among an endless number of variables, but, statistically speaking, the graduates they are more likely to generate better income compared to streamers.
