In 2019, I remember that I was surprised Wiped by LEGO game maker That youth asked what they wanted to be when they grew up. It was the upper answer YouTube creator!
Among the 3000 children surveyed between the ages of 8 and 12 years from the United States, the United Kingdom and China, 33 % of the amazing said they wanted to be Youtuber, while only 11 % dreamed of becoming an astronaut.
The best aspirations for the profession for children in the United States and the United Kingdom:
- Vlogger/YouTube
- Teacher
- Professional
- music
- astronaut
The rise of the Creator’s economy
last Poll from Ugov In 2021, this matter was supported, indicating that it becomes a blog, YouTube, or the professional current, is the upper dream function for teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 years. The effects of social media and content creators have gained more confidence than young people than any other group over the past few years, and they unite doubts many older generations towards these non -parents.
Pits like YouTube and Tiktok are the most popular for influencing content, as youtube attract more to the millennial, men and Tiktok generation caught the attention of Gen Z and women. The food and music content remains the highest in clouds of these fans.
From YouTube skeptical to the believer
My eyes initially rolled to the idea of the desire to be Youtuber for a living. I imagine that many people have the same reaction to blogging as a profession as well. “What are these non -dangerous professions?” Some may think of themselves.
He grew up, the way to success was clear: study hard, get higher degrees and test scores, excel in the curricula, and may find a treatment for malaria while you are in it. If you can manage all of this, you may enter the 50 best universities and land a six -digit job.
This was my path, minus the processed malaria and the SAT group, and I have succeeded well enough. After graduating from William and Mary College, she worked 60-80 hours a week in Goldman Sachs, New York City. Making a base salary of $ 40,000 while living in Manhattan was narrow.
But after the epidemic arrived in 2020, my point of view turned. With less social communication ways in the first year, I found myself consuming more videos on YouTube and Tiktok.
The desire to bypass the gate guards
Then the waking call came. I have seen many Asian American students who suffer from that-who seem to do everything correctly-are rejected by most of the universities they made. Despite the racist account after the death of George Floyd, the conflicts of the Asian Americans were not part of the prevailing social justice conversation.
When the Harvard University and UNC case reached the Supreme Court, the evidence revealed how Asian Americans needed SAT much higher than other ethnic groups to obtain acceptance. What was truly postponed is Harvard’s use of the self -“personality degree” to justify the refusal of Asian applicants who are excellent academically.
As a person who has also been registered from the average SAT for students admitted from the best 25 schools, I feel that there is little hope in getting my Asian/Polynesian children. This is why it is very important to find ways to overcome the gate guards and build their own life.
New York University servers (NYU) has been hacked to detect some known data but are still horrific about racial discrimination in university admission.
Asians need higher degrees than SAT and ACT from eggs to get acceptance.
Written by American characteristics.

Be more creative and pioneering business
I have accepted that moving forward will be more difficult for children today. Competition is very fierce. Consequently, one of the ways to confront a difficult world is to help my children become millions before leaving the house. In this way, even if they did a great job in school and reject each university, they will have enough money to keep them until they find a purposeful work.
In addition to carrying out manual work service functions and the minimum wage as a child to earn money, another drank is likely to be profitable is the embrace of the Creator’s economy – specifically as Utiper or Tiktoker.
Anyone with a device and an internet connection can start downloading videos today. The key is to produce interesting content constantly to overcome the initial stage as nothing appears to be happening. There is no need to be an academic to be a successful blog.
Just like blogging, if you can create videos to three videos per week for a year, I am sure someone will notice. The more people who notice, the more your chances of planting and identifying a channel. If you can create 10 -year content in a row, I am convinced that you can earn a living as a content of the content.
If the traditional path of success is closed, then it is time to photograph a new path.

It is clear that the video is the future of the creators
I hope you enjoyed my conversation with Humphrey. It is clear that the video content on YouTube and Tiktok will only continue to grow in popularity. These platforms contain strong search algorithms and liquefied tools that can help the content of the content to expand their range of access much faster compared to the operation of an independent location like the Financial Samurai.
I am still discussing if I am ding to create video content or stick to writing and recording the cross podcast. After writing since 2009, it is difficult to change a groove, and better maintain a lower profile. I also want to embrace pension and not do more.
However, if you start to experience YouTube and Tiktok now, I can build a basis for my children if they show interest that they become the content of five to ten years in the future. It can take over the channels you built or started with some initial support.
I have no illusions that creating high -quality videos will be easy, but I think it is worth the shot. At the present time, I need to focus on Get my last book Before jumping to my next project. One step every time!
