QuestionI want to be a YouTuber, but since I'm shy, I don't know if it's the right job for me. How do I know if it's the right job for me?AbigailAbernathyTop AnswererIt isn't. YouTube is an oversaturated field, and only a select few have actually made it their own full-time business.

It requires charisma, some acting, very expensive equipment, and interesting, unique content that people want to watch.

QuestionI can't decide on what job to do. I have a talent of drawing, writing, and singing but I want a professional job as an animator, lawyer and journalist. What must I do?CageyCatTop AnswererFor any of your desired occupations, you need a college education. Remember that most students take their first 1 to 2 years deciding on what they want to do, while taking core credits that will count toward any degree (example: College English / Writing 101). You might want to focus on writing, since that applies to at least 2 of your desires. You can always minor in artistic, creative subjects, such as art and drawing.
