Okay, so… I left my university (kinda been forced to do so by my life circumstances). Thinking about becoming a youtuber, game developer, voice actor, writer (yes-yes, all of that, I'm stupid like that :D). Do you think I’m taking a big risk? Have you ever taken similar risks?

EDIT: there's been an update.
EDIT: there's been another update. :)

Those aren't big risks, just difficult at being successful at. Be sure while you're pursuing your dreams (which you should do -- especially when you're young and tied down to nothing) that you're working, making money, feeding yourself, treating yourself decently, and saving money in the bank.

Those can be a bit tricky to do, but if you can do them, then go get you want out of life (so long as it's legal and good :D).

P.S. My game sold maybe 4 copies, I've sold hundreds of books, didn't do much with the voice acting and my youtube videos have like, maybe 100 hits altogether. :) But I do enjoy reaching out artistically, too.

I dropped out of college four times. I think that counts as a risk. :D

I'm not sure if I would call "youtuber" risky, as it does not need to be a full time, only job type of thing. However I do think the bottom is going to fall out, or the bubble is going tu burst or whatever you want to call it eventually. These days everyone and their mother seems to be a youtuber/let's player/vloger, and I don't think it can keep going like that for ever. Eventually it's going to be like when people declared disco dead, though without actuall demonstrations in the streets most likely. I may be wrong though, I would never have expected Facebook to catch on, so what do I know.

As for the developer/voice actor/writer - pick one. Unless you are a true reneissance man I doubt you have the talent for all of those. Pick one your heart is really into, and who knows, it might just work. If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours, as Thoreau wrote. I have not yet met success myself, but I still endeavor :)

If you're going to take a risk then go all in. my first important job I had to travel 300 or so miles away to a area (even a new country).

Was it worth it, yes I made a nice little career now. Working for a well known firm with great benefits in a great position and I would of never of made it I didn't take that risk.

edit it as 200 miles. I was thinking 300 was a bit much

You made it that far???

Don't worry about risks,just give it a go because later on in life you will regret that you didn't try.

Taking risks makes life fun. I've moved across the country several times to live with people, and been in several different styles of group relationships. Don't expect any of them to pan out how you want, but also be prepared for surprise when you end up whereever you end up at. Life is damn unpredictable, if I think back to where I thought I'd be at 30 from when I was 15 or 18 I couldn't even fathom this life now.

What country was it?

I'm 39. I'm done with college. :P

I gave school away at five,officially left at 14 and went into the work force...

No no, he dropped out of college. Like literally. He broke into the science department, downed all the alcohol he could find and fell out of the window. Four times.

to wales from england :)

Oh I see,his an alco then:-)

Actually the last time I left was because of disease but not that one. :P
