While these videos can “inspire” in the brief moment you watch them, as someone mentioned in the comments earlier, living a non-traditional lifestyle like being a “content creator” whilst travelling and blogging brings about its own set of stresses and challenges, such as saturation of everyone wanting to pursue this lifestyle as well and the pressure to “create” or “influence.” Let’s not forget, creators or influencers also make a living off of trying to sell you on a lifestyle that is out of the norm—almost similar to how we all wanted to be singers/actors/athletes when we were younger.

TLDR, it would be naive not to think that every profession out there has no stresses and challenges. In the end, your introspection of life is unique to you—strive to pursue what you are passionate in, but know that sometimes you gotta balance that with a good dose of pragmatism and find ways of feeling fulfilled through other avenues.

What's the counterfactual? Everyone who follows their passion can be successful? That's clearly not realistic.

...and this guy probably got in before it got saturated.

What entrepreneur friendly industry is not sufficiently mature to be saturated yet?

Intl Tax folks, how long did it take before you were confident in your role? I've worked for the past 3 years in a practice that is heavily consulting based (inbound and outbound structuring) and I feel like I'm only just starting to understand the foundational concepts (where I can explain them clearly to clients) and offering a shred of value. Then I'll have calls where partners discuss complex tax, legal, treasury and other related concepts that all go over my head.. it becomes overwhelming

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
