What "top 1% club" do you think you belong to?

No I love gaming. I wish it were my job I tried making it my job. When I use to upload to youtube. I uploaded 325 videos got 100k views. 2,250 subscribers. I quit not because I wanted to but because I couldn't afford to buy a ps4 or an xbox one. Also I needed the newest capture card cause no one wants to watch bad content. My parents wouldn't pay for a new ps4 or a xbox one. I also had to get a job to get my first set up. I was 16 at the time saved 2,000$ working as an intern at a Hospital. Got the job because one of my high school teachers thought I was very bright. They after the internship offered me a job part time cause I was in high school. This wasn't a normal job btw. It was a very high paying job for a 16 year old. I'm talking 18$ an hour plus ever 1,000 hours you worked you got 1,000$ bonus and you get raises of 2$ or so every 6 months. You do that math. I wanted to really upload to youtube so I declined the offer. So I then started making videos and got good at it. Did well on youtube uploaded everyday. Till next gen consoles came out I couldn't afford it. I was offered by multiple companies to put ads on my channel. My parents saw the contract said it was bull shit. Keep in mind back then It was really hard to get partnered on youtube. I mean only a couple people had it. So then I never had the opportunity to make it my job. Got other jobs saved up money for college. Now I go to college. Community college btw. Fafsa pays for basically all of my education in college I only pay around 100$ish per semester. So I can easily play 8-10 hours a day. I can keep a 4.0 GPA that I have. I'm going for an Actuarial Science degree. But in reality I never want to get this degree because its what my parents want they want me to go to college and have a stupid 4 year BA. Get a job and get what they call success. All I want to do is stream on twitch tv 8 hours a day for 7 days a week. I like how they say your parents moved here for you. But in reality the want you to become what they want. I hate going to college btw its boring and not at all fun.
