          Well youtube is more up to chance and pretty indifferent to how much effort you actually put in, but if you study really hard you'll probably have more of a guarantee for your career (not necessarily tho)

          Either way kids should dream about getting an actually cool job

        We spend more manpower and resources on YouTube promotion than space travel.

      If someone offered to give me $20k a month for screaming and blabbing on a live stream

      You need to scream and babble for years on end in order for the OPPORTUNITY to get enough subscribers to justify $2k/mo much less $20k.

      This is akin to saying "I'd rather be Kobe Bryant than compete for an opportunity to work at Cape Canaveral". I mean, yeah. No shit. The sure thing is always better than the opportunity, when the sky is the limit. But for every successful Vlogger, there are thousands of failures. Meanwhile, the ability to Post is only ever really useful in the context of an inward-looking narcassistic consumerist culture. The ability to survive in space has some very broad applications even on the ground.

          I haven't seen this before, thanks for sharing. Space Oddity is one of my faves and someone singing it in 0g really is something else.

    It's kind of sad that kids know how pointless it is to dream beyond the stars when you could make a comfortable living being a doofus on camera

      I remember a bully of mine that genuinely wanted to be a general in World War 3

      He went on to lose pretty much all his hair, lost his girlfriend of like 2 years because she came out as a lesbian and got some stupid ass lumberjack job for a year and then coached wrestling to kids until COVID came up. Haha, fuck you Tucker.

          No, he did not. He's still alive but he obviously can't coach wrestling now. I wouldn't laugh if he died from COVID since he was one of those rare circumstantial bullies (Shithead dad and got picked on for being fat so he projected his anger onto easy targets) but I will laugh at his current situation since apparently he's still an asswipe and at this point his friends and shit have broken off because of his own choices.

    I think I wanted to be an astronaut, athlete, doctor, videogame designer, animator, miner, actor, teacher, and veterinarian as a kid. Also wanted to be soldier at one point because I was dumb and wanted to be a hero with action in my life or something. Also when I was 13 I secretly hoped I could be a part-time stay at home husband for a guy I was in love with. Guess I always indecisive

      Yeah, I wanted to be a million things, but now I just want to be happy and with a job that is "meaningful" but not overly demanding.

      miner is underrated but legit. i loved going to those open mines where they dump piles of material for you to sift and pan and keep what you find.

          .... i still have mine in a tiny vial lol. i'd share some if i could. i was maybe in 5th grade when i did my first "gold pan". pretty sure it's fake gold though it is just not soft enough.
