Other Looking for a job that i will get paid for

Frankie Turner said:
Yeah if you can why not? But most people won't ever be that successful and can spend years wasting their time earning $100 a month rather than going out there and earning $500 a week in a real job.

2 weeks experience? I have 10 years, 7 of it on better wages than I'll likely ever earn through my channel.

I have the experience I am talking about and I know a heck of a lot more than you do, Shane. You're 15 years old, you are still in school and haven't had the chance to get out there in the world. If you put 2 weeks on any CV you'd get laughed out of the building. Most companies want 3 years regardless of job for the most part.

You can do YouTube AND have a job, it's complete ignorance to assume that both can't be done for a while before one of them has to give. And I'm not talking about earning a living in an internet based job, I am talking about YouTube specifically.

I don`t argue with getting a full-time job , what I`m saying is , if you can earn some extra cash of the internet for doing a few hours a day, why not?

I don't think that is what she is saying. She is saying that it's a bad idea to focus on getting YouTube as a fulltime job. And we all know she is correct at this.

I have actual tears in my eyes.

Anyway, I really do agree with Frankie. At 14/15, the last thing on your mind should be 'full time jobs' or careers. Enjoy your youth while you can because the time when you really have to be concerned with this stuff sneaks up on you quickly.

If you can make YouTube your fulltime job then that's great. But, that shouldn't be your only plan. YouTube most likely won't last forever and you'll need a, dare I say...real career.
 
I don't agree 100% with Frankie on this one. For sure get yourself some real world skills but the internet is only going to get bigger. If YouTube shut down tomorrow all the big channels would move and survive just fine. YouTube is a great platform to try and get yourself a fan base and launch into something else. Take Dan and Phil who now have a radio 1 show, they both got noticed through you tube. As for graphics, if I could give advice to somebody who is 13 and wanting to be a graphic designer I would say get on YouTube. No chance when I was 13 I could have got work let alone made a tiny bit of money and if you watch learn and listen by the time your 18 and looking at unis you have a portfolio, experience of working to a dead line and maybe some contacts. Nobody told all the kids in my class that they could not be professional footballers when they grew up and it didn't hurt them to try. A bit of realism is good but you don't have to jump on peoples dreams.

I'm not, it's called being a mature adult. I would love to be successful doing something like writing, or yeah even with my channel. But I am not about to sit at home unemployed until I do that. I am going to get a job and work on the 'dream' job in my spare time. Because if it's that important to you you'll put in the extra work.

That's the point though isn't it. When you are an adult you have obligations. Rent, bills, car payments ect. Trust me I know I have been in the working world for 10 years. So that is why I would say to kids that don't give it a go while they have the chance. If you leave it untill you have to work full time it's only harder.
