That's nice.
It's hard not to see why they'd want to do that. As an "internet professional" you get
>many people paying attention to you
>get paid to shout opinions
>relatively low effort
They just don't understand it's a 0.01% of successful vloggers/youtubers/twitchers earn enough to make a living, let alone as much as some one like ninja or doctor disrespect.
not really much different from wanting to be on telly is it
it is very different
OLD MEDIA GOOD
NEW MEDIA BAD
It's almost worse because anyone can think they made it after they get a 1.50 check for 6000 views. At least with TV it's an 'you're on it or you're not' thing
And yet, somehow we worry that other jobs get automated in the future...
> intent on pursuing job as software dev
Hahahaha, wait until they actually have to program shit in university with tight deadlines and see if they will still say the same.
Oh also I did notice some technology related degrees (AI, CS etc) getting much more popular. However the percentage of people who gets their degree also is declining from those same courses. So much for that lmao.
take this info
oh you want that, bitch
don't you ?
ah, it's new info
you must like it
relevance is not what matters
it's penetration
yeah
take that
They see people slaking all day, making tons of money by doing things you need no education for and they're also considered celebrities, you'll bet your ass a random 15 yo will want to do it.
However a society cannot work if every one is a blogger or youtube personality, so eventually reality will fall down.
I actively slander, discourage, and sabotage british youtubers. Learn a trade, shithead.
20 years ago kids wanted to be actors.
I don't see difference
Doesn't apply to software developers.
Yet CEO grandpas and management expect software developers to work 8+ hours a day even if it's pointless and the same stuff would be done if people worked 4-6 hours daily.
I don't think any generation is better than the other one, they are all retarded in their own way.

Take anything published here with a pinch of salt, it's basically the Fox news of the UK.

Aren't they even owned by the same corporation?
Yup, Newscorp owns it.
It's more of a political propaganda tool for the right than a useful source of info. Only retard boomers buy that shit.

It's right by Bong standards. Bear in mind the current American right is far left by 1970s American standards. This is where compromise gets you.
The Sun is very much a right-wing paper, the two leading parties in the UK are centre left and centre right. American right-wing politics is wacko extremism to us.
why do so many people on Jow Forums reference the sun and the daily mail? pic related is their target audience
