For all the little kids with no education YouTube is nowhere close to a career
What are the odds of becoming famous probably 1and every 1million
YouTube will not get you money to pay the bills to feed your kids if you ever have any which I do (won't go into that) won't get you a nice car won't get you money for insurance won't get you a nice house won't get you money for anything really that is actually needed
and what benefits does it give you? Absolutely nothing why would you want that people need to step into the real world of life and need to see you can't make a living off of something that was just made for fun
it annoys me that people are like oh yea I play cod all day and record sign me a contract its stupid videogames is not a job its ENTERTAINMENT PEOPLE not a job
you won't be laughing when your in the streets begging for money

Nerdy, but PewDiePie makes 4 million euros a year. That around 7 million US dollars. I make around $500 a month on YouTube with only 800 subscribers.

I am just going to disagree with you on this one.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

YouTube will not get you money to pay the bills to feed your kids if you ever have any which I do (won't go into that) won't get you a nice car won't get you money for insurance won't get you a nice house won't get you money for anything really that is actually needed


If you actually make it big, you will be able to buy a house, support your family, buy a car (probably multiple tbh) etc.

Look at PewDiePie.

10 Mill will be more than enough to survive on. And his job is making videos and entertaining people on YouTube.

Absolutely nothing why would you want that people need to step into the real world of life and need to see you can't make a living off of something that was just made for fun


I know many big youtubers have made a career off of just having fun whether it be playing games or any other videos.

ENTERTAINMENT


What do you think Actors are, Comedians, etc. THEY'RE ALL ENTERTAINERS!

So your point is invalid.

I could not disagree more. Honestly, I think you are jealous. There are LOTS of people on Youtube who make six digits a year. You are trying to say that entertainment isn't considered a career? So entertainers like The Beatles, Lionel Messi, Peyton Manning, Lebron James, Ellen Degeneres, the list goes on, don't have a career? I don't seem them begging for money and they are ALL entertainers.

You kids don't understand the point gaming isn't something to look for the future
it can only be a career if you make it there which is unlikely
and messi ive met him before when he came to Chicago for messi and friends he said he's played all his life and never gave up anyone would know that if they knew messi
but its something to work for at age 30
start young so you don't waste your time doing it older but still you most likely won't make it big
and why would I be jealous? I don't even make videos never have no need to be jealous when I have money for my needs and entertainment purposes

Messi worked hard. YouTubers work hard. And now you suddenly are saying gamers? I thought we were on the subject of Youtubers.

Also I bolded a section in the quotes and now you are saying that it can be a career?
