A musician isn't necessarily something vapid, and useless to society, with an extremely low rate of success to it. Actor or actress, *maybe*, but that's still more of a legitimate career than Twitch Streamer or "content creator."
What kind of musician are you talking about? Classical musicians are the ones who can make bank, usually. I pretty much paid my way through undergrad by teaching flute lessons and playing weddings on weekends and throughout summer breaks. My husband did even better as a pianist, because pianists are in high demand. If you make it as a regular, full time musician in big orchestras, you can easily start at 100K a year. If you’re a violinist and you’re promoted to concertmaster, that salary is at least tripled. Principals of a section can make 200K. Even smaller, regional orchestras pay well.
But you can make a pretty comfortable living just by teaching, tutoring in music theory, and playing events like weddings, funerals, dances, etc.
Once they are out of the house, I couldn't care less what they do. I might not be all that proud of them depending on what they do it wouldn't be as likely to involve me.
I would try to correct my mistake, but at some point they would have to their own adult, so I wouldn't be able to "stop them from doing it" if that's what they wanted to do.
I wouldn't consider any of it stupid. It's their life, and as a parent they'd have my support no matter what. If they come to regret it later, that's just life. It's never too late to start over.
Yeah it is. I LOVE video games, but imagine being 40 and trying to tell your 6 year old what you do for a living and how it helps society. "Well, you see Jimmy, I make Minecraft videos and Let's Plays on the internet. Pretty cool, huh?"
@mcheetah nobody cares about society its about making money lol if it pays & it ain't life ruining it's good. You can't knock nobody hustle if it's positive & can get you rich. That's why it's already proving gaming can get you rich.
@Dinosaursandanime65 don't be a conformist bot ever in life, just know what makes you money & what doesn't if Benjamin Franklin listen to people saying he should just sit in the dark and work a conformist job he would have never invented electricity & got rich off that. If Jeff Bezos eoulda stuck to just hoping UPS or Fed Ex could keep fucking him up on deliveries he woulda never got rich if he didn't do it himself.
Everyone thought Bill Gates ideas for Microsoft was fucking stupid, cause who believes in the internet that's not meaningful back in the day. Now everyone running through windows OS these days. If Elon Musk didn't keep going at his failed inventions for electric cars after they kept setting on fire he would not be where he's at lol if it makes money & it's positive go at it lol your aim in life should never want to be the average Joe.
Kosdff paid, faze members paid nobody cares about being pewdipie or ninja lol its about making millions. Faze Banks is rich. AMP guys rich. Tons of these people are rich off games and posting gaming videos even cod marksman youtuber. You don't gotr be a hit gamer to make money. Mr Technical difficult built a business off gaming and got rich lol what you Mean?
Even a youtuber named Iron he started out making cod videos for warzone, he became top player now he's rich, Daisymichelle a girl gamer she started on her living room floor while her husband was at work playing games, she's rich now lol I van list 100's of youtubers rich off gaming.
@Fuentes Daisyymichelle got rich off of being a hot small Latina with giant boobs and is more an OF girl than "gamer." But okay. If you, @Dinosaursandanime65, really want to try to get rich off of gaming, then go for it. I just hope you don't end up like DSP, or Boogie2988, or Wings of Redemption, or any of the other "big gamers" of yesteryear who now hate their lives.
I myself like gaming too much to do it 9-to-5 as a "career."
@mcheetah Lollolol !! I knew you were gonna go off the only girl gamer after all the list of men I just named off as if they don't matter hahaha! And she never did OF either she use to play for years without showing her face. Kosdff has a huge mansion he lives in his name paid off & you just named off abuncha fat smelly mentally ill youtubers ofc they had issues their mentally fucked.
Lol I'm not gonna play games I'm not that good only In COD but I barely touch that. My focus is my career & other stuff I'm venturing into out here. I'm just saying don't be out here tryna kill this youths dreams to tell him to be some lame conformist you don't know any youths futures. Ain't nada wrong with being a youtuber if you invest into ventures outside of it. If it's positive & it pays theirs no issue. Life should be about trying to get rich not just being content on being a regular.
@Fuentes She's the only one out of that whole group I've ever even heard of. I've never even heard of the rest of those people before.
And I disagree with you. Life should be about trying to be happy. I rarely told this to anyone on here, but I used to *be* rich. From my distant criminal father. I know what it's like to have seven figures. You guys VASTLY overestimate what money means. Money is nothing if you're miserable in life. Look at successful people like Curt Cobain and Robin Williams.
Idc about nobody with a mental illness & weak minded souls. I know what to do with the money & the riches. If I ever get it it's small minded to wanna be happy with no money lol fuck that noise bro. Born broke & gonna die as rich as a Carnegie. That's my only focus in life & taking care of my child and instilling that gotta get that money mindset in all my kids. It's about that money, I'm forever hungry idc about how much food I got on my plate. Still tryna eat even when I'm full. Like Wu Tang Clan - C. R. E. A. M.
@Fuentes I was poor most of my life. Then one year, I had a lot of money from my father, before the IRS took everything he had and everything he gave me. Then I went back to being poor. So I know money doesn't buy happiness.
What are you gonna do when you have all the money in the world, then? If happiness doesn't matter to you?
Build an empire of a strong blood line of riches like the 1% my family tree will never be broke again. I broke all generational curses. Also when your young I would not expect you to know what to do with everything your dad got you as a kid at one point. But from what you stated you always had a roof over your head & stay content on a living situation. That for me growing up was never a guarantee. I never felt secure living anywhere & that life will be something nobody else in the future of my blood line will never continue.
Therefore idc about having happiness like that lol I care about the federal reserve notes & dead presidents & when it's all said and done I created something that will be passed down for generations they will call me old money, that's my goal lol

YouTuber would be something I might be proud of. Why isn't musician on the list? That's a patience tester as well

No, I wouldn't be proud...
That would mean that I failed as a father and I would blame myself more than I would be angry with them.
I would try to correct my mistake, but at some point they would have to their own adult, so I wouldn't be able to "stop them from doing it" if that's what they wanted to do.
Kids need to be told no more. We’ve had two generations of children raised without any discipline and it shows.
I could care less what my kids do when they grow up. None of these jobs would bother me.
I would relentlessly make fun of their lame career choice.
I wouldn't consider any of it stupid. It's their life, and as a parent they'd have my support no matter what. If they come to regret it later, that's just life. It's never too late to start over.
This is one of those questions that makes me glad that I was born with CBAVD.
Basically meaning, you can't have kids.
Being a Pro Gamer isn’t stupid. You DISCRIMINATE
Yeah it is. I LOVE video games, but imagine being 40 and trying to tell your 6 year old what you do for a living and how it helps society. "Well, you see Jimmy, I make Minecraft videos and Let's Plays on the internet. Pretty cool, huh?"

@mcheetah yeah, what he said

@Fuentes I am FAR from an obstacle. You’ll see, it’ll be a few years. Hopefully two, maybe even 1.5
@Fuentes
Gaming doesn't make you money, though... Almost nobody can be "Ninja" or Pwdiepie.

@Fuentes I have my sights set higher
As long as their job isn’t wrong, I’ll support them.
How exactly do you decide what makes it particular career stupid?
As long as they were happy enough and making money legally then it doesn't matter.
Hell no, especially not D or E
Professional gaming is the best choice out of these
OML I CHOOSE THE STRIPPER ONE BY ACCIDENT ;-; No, I won't be proud of my child if they were ty-
I P*rn star but I will approve of a gamer lol
I'd still love my child
I would certainly try to stop them
depends on the dumb career choice
