What Is Your Take on This? + Random Ephiphany (Again) (Patreon)
Content
I am going through my next video script, and I wanted your take on this topic and what you think about it as well.
Do you think that many of the younger generation nowadays indulge in the idea of "I don't need/want to work; I deserve to live a good/enjoy life." more often than not? Why/Why Not? (Or have you thought about this as well)
My POV:
On the one hand, I would see creators talking about how they work/study 12+ hours a day, Waking Up at 3 a.m.; in general, productivity videos.
On the other hand, I would see creators saying they dropped out of college/quit their job, travel the world, or they left everything and decided to live in a van, and it is deemed "inspiring" and "brave".
(Generally, these videos genres are what the YouTube algorithm likes)
So social media/content creators (I think it's only fair to include myself) feed us with a lot of mixed information and more often than not they are two completely extreme ends on the work/life spectrum.
As for now, I am working as a Teaching and Research Assistant in the Linguistics Department back at the University of Hong Kong. The acceptable workload and stable income give me a sense of security, confidence and enough spare time to still work on my passion projects, like YouTube, whenever I have time.
I still prefer to treat YouTube as a hobby/passion project because if it turns into an actual job, and I have to rely on it, it defeats the purpose of me doing YouTube in the first place.
The creative outlet gives me that freedom, dose of motivation, time to break away from "working", happiness and satisfaction in my life.
Exciting things coming at the end of next month/early November :) but new video hopefully in a week! Love y'all and have a beautiful one!
