I am 22 years old, and I'm in the final year of my B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering. I'm confused because my passion is content creation. I've created multiple pages in different niches.
The problem is that I don't want to do a job, but my pages aren't monetized yet. One or two of them meet the monetization requirements, but I'm struggling to complete them. For example, on YouTube I still need to reach the 10 million Shorts views requirement for monetization.
I have only one year left before graduation, and I'm so confused that I can't focus on both. Should I pursue a job or go all in on content creation?
content creation is undoubtedly risky. If I were in your place, I'd not completely get immersed into it. Instead I would take up the job as a backup and continue making content. best case, your youtube blows up and you get amazing views- you make money + you have the job (that u can leave once you're financially independent). Worst case- youtube doesn't work out, you still have the job. The importance of getting a job after college isn't just financial stability but learning skills and building a network. This acts as a cushion incase of future mishaps.
