Was making maybe a couple hundred dollars quarterly. He did this for about 2 years, Fed-Ex and then YouTube. His quarterly checks from YouTube went from a few hundred dollars to @ $24,000 quarterly. He was/is pulling in @ $100,000 just from YouTube videos working 5-6 hour per day. He just left Fed-Ex a couple of months ago to dedicate himself to YouTube. His supervisor at Fed-Ex said he understands why he was leaving and told him if he ever wants to return, they will have a job for him. Just because some millennial is sitting home uploading videos on YouTube does not mean he's a lazy kid. This kid has worked his ass off and will probably be making close to $200K in another year or so. Oh, one more thing, he doesn't drink and is a very responsible person. So don't go lumping all these kids into one group of losers just because they don't do the 9-5 job. Times have changed and if you care look, you can make a living without getting "kicked in the azz"

Anecdotal evidence... one success story does not make for the mindset of a whole generation. Mind you I am not telling you what that mindset is....there will always be winners and losers...and people who march to a different drummer...
