Just wait until you have to work. There's not going to be such thing as summer vacation.
Unless you become a teacher or professor, and only if you don't get assigned to do summer classes as well.


on the bright side teachers get paid extra for summer work.

That's why I plan to get NS and/or YouTube to be my job.
I wanna be a RP Mentor and/or Moderator.

I wanted to be a politician.

But YouTube can pay the bills, if you have like 200K subs.
And it's not that hard to get.
I'll get them in no time. :D
Yes, you may think it's hard to get, but I'm staying optimistic(Ironic since I'm the pessimistic or realistic one usually.).

in all likelyhood "you want fries with that" is going to pay better.

My life has been about becoming a politician...in fact, politics is like an obsession to me.
NS is the biggest thing in my life that I go to for comfort.
So I'm becoming a damn Autistic politician and a YouTuber.

Solid advice, this. Building up a YT following sizable enough to support yourself is no small task. Better to work on that while holding down some other mundane job until you can get your YT content built up enough. The Team Four Stars and Markipliers are the exceptions, not the norm.

From my understanding, YouTubers get very little income unless you're one of the famous ones with 40 million subscribers and litter your videos out the wazoo with advertising.

As for RP Mentors and Moderators - You don't get paid for that on NS, completely volunteer.
