It's strange. At least one of them should stay in a traditional job if for nothing else then for future employability.Seems like quite a lot of them go down this route. None of these kind of people seem to have a partner with a 'normal' job they all seem to do Instagram too or they enlist them as their video editor or photographer. What do they all expect to do when the influencer life dries up?!
The YouTube boyfriends are only doing part time work. Editing a few 15 minute videos doesn't need to be a full time job.
I know YouTube money is good but is it always worth ditching a salary, even a low one? If I could work full time and spend a few hours a week doing a high paid social gig, I'd do that!
