“Painful to see people quit their job” - MrBeast says people shouldn’t quit jobs to pursue content creation

Popular YouTube star Jimmy "MrBeast" is a household name in the online community. Renowned for his profound grasp of the YouTube landscape and strategies for maximizing growth, he has experienced unparalleled success as a content creator. Despite this, he recently advised fans against quitting their jobs or schools to pursue content creation, instead emphasizing the importance of caution and thoughtful decision-making.

The streamer told his fans that there was cut-throat competition within the content creation sphere. He pointed out that for every successful creator like himself, there were thousands who didn't see any success, indicating that the odds were heavily stacked against anyone aspiring to become a full-time content creator. He wrote:

"It’s painful to see people quit their job/drop out of school to make content full-time before they’re ready. For every person like me that makes it, thousands don’t. Keep that in mind and be smart, please."

About the author

Shreyan is an esports and gaming journalist at Sportskeeda, focusing on streamer content. He holds a Master's degree in English Literature, and journalism was the most logical next step for him. Although titles like FIFA 08 and GTA San Andreas acted as the catalyst for his love of video games, the exponential growth of the streaming community also propelled his interest in the genre. He also has a prior work experience of 2 years.

Shreyan considers factual and accurate content to be the most important as a creator and a reader. He ensures this by double checking every piece of information in his articles and sourcing it from streamers directly rather than depend on third parties. His works have caught the attention of the heavyweights, with the PR team of Sidemen (a YouTube group he’s been following since his teenage days) and Chess.com reaching out to him for sending exclusive press releases.

Shreyan would love to drop into the virtual world of FIFA/EA FC and explore it further but, he would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption 2 to gaming skeptics for its top-tier gameplay, story and characters. During his downtime, he enjoys balancing his interests in reading, watching films and sports, and of course, playing video games.
