career confusion, advice session

Welcome back to Advice Session, a series here on Anything Goes where you send in your current dilemmas or anything you want advice on and then I give you my unprofessional advice. And today's topic is work life or should I say life at work or perhaps I could say career or maybe job. I think you get the idea. I have to start by saying that I've had an incredibly unconventional career path. I started working on accident at age 16. I posted my first YouTube video and then I posted another one and then another one and then another one and then next thing I knew by age like 16 and a half being a YouTuber was my full-time job and I left school to pursue it and since then I've been pursuing it and I currently work as sort of a public figure whatever that means. I guess the job of a public figure is to post content of of oneself on the internet for people's entertainment and consumption. It's a weird job. And because I started so young, th this has always been my job. And I'm very aware of the experiences I haven't had as a result of this unusual career path. However, something interesting that I've noticed over the years of just talking to different types of people about different types of careers is that it seems that regardless of your career path, there's sort of this collection of universal challenges that come with pursuing any career. And I know that because I've had conversations with people who have completely different jobs than I do. And I time and time again find that we're able to relate about certain universal challenges that come with pursuing any career. And so I start off with all of this because number one, I think you need to take my advice with a grain of salt. I'm warning you, okay? I have had a very bizarre career path. So keep that in mind as you're taking advice from me. But also give me a chance because even though I've had a bizarre career path, I also do think that there are a lot of universal challenges that almost everyone experiences in the pursuit of a career. And so I don't have it all figured out, but maybe give me a little chance while taking everything I say with a grain of salt. Without further ado, let's get into it.
