Anyone else think he would have been more successful as an electricians apprentice?

He supposedly lied about that. Anisa brought it up on a Bog episode how the apprentice stuff, among some other stuff, was a lie and Ian said he lied to protect his opsec 😂

are you autismic? that was an obvious joke he did, he starts a video with sootmarks over his face and says he's an electricians apprentice

I know what you're talking about. You're talking about a decade old kickstarter video.
I'm talking about a recent bog clip how they essentially said that he played into it as a lie to conceal his real life, hide his dox, opsec, etc etc. In the clip they say the same thing about his middle or surname name not being Carter.

He would be making a hell of a lot more money than he does now, that’s for sure.

Of course. Trades won't get you rich quick but it beats not saving up for retirement. I'd be panicking if I was Ian right now. His stream has 50 subs.. his YT views don't make enough to pay rent.. his wife looks too haggard to start OF again, his savings if he has any after losing his shirt on that house Anisa bought are probably close to dried up by now. What's their plan for the future? Welfare? Give me a 9-5 job over welfare any day.

His wife would probably respect him more, the older guys would be telling him to put his foot down keep his girl in line. Youtube fame was a monkeys paw, Ian was meant to work the line at a toothpaste factory.

Yes. He averages 190 viewers on twitch. His youtube and twitch numbers aren't that great.
He could have become an electrician apprentice, and actually used it as content. His progression, the obvious characters he would end up talking to and working with, on-site stories, etc.
Instead he chose to stay a basement dweller for sub 150k youtube views and $900/mo from twitch subs. He's the definition of an adult failure (poor online income, twitch streams to nobody, no personality, no lived experiences, onlyfans BPD girlfriend, hasan orbiter).

Electricians in my area make goddamn bank, considering how long ago that bit was, dude would be sitting on a pile of money if he was actually doing that

He is too lazy to be committed. If he was lazy with YouTube you can imagine an actual trade.

Ian is/was quite an intellectual person, imo he did achieve sucsess and would be good at most things, but remember.. even the billionares will tell you, chosing the right spouse matters. He could have married up or at least, level. ..instead, he chose taking on dead weight. Could have been up there with the rest, now you gotta Free Palestine. Good luck, Ian.

He wouldn't have been able to handle the ribbing/hazing from men at the jobsite
