Hi friends,

You know, I am a content creator. And have been for quite a while.

It’s a great job, a great way to make money with all the freedom attached to it.

That being said, I believe we don’t need more content creators. At least not in the numbers we’re seeing right now.

First, we can only create so much (that’s new). Most content is already just reimagined content that already exists.

But secondly and much more importantly, we require more people doing the important jobs and those jobs to be paid like they're important!

Jobs like:

• Teachers

• Nurses

• Daycare

• Police

• Firefighters

• Doctors

and so many more.

Without those jobs, not much would be going on in our society. We’d all be in big trouble without those and many more critical jobs.

Kids these days want to become YouTubers, influencers, or athletes. And I don’t blame them. It’s flashy and a lot of money can be made. But we should do our best …
