Awesome Jobs For the Underdog

Whoever said to be an artist requires you to starve to death should get their brain x-rayed. With the popular boom of Youtube just about anyone can show the world what they can do – art related and beyond. Recently, Youtube decided to make a portion of their audience partners in their company and would ultimately get these people paid for posting their videos.

Youtube posters like Valentina are just a few consistent uploaders who scored a large enough audience to get them paid to do it.

Valentina is an artist. And like so many of her kind, unless you’re skilled in graphic design, or computer related art chances are you probably aren’t making the million dollars you wish you were making. With the financial support of Youtube, Valentina may have helped opened a door that few artists may have known existed.

The best job an artist can hope to get is one that allows you to pretty much exploit your passion to the fullest AND getting paid for it. This, dear friend, is my ideal utopia.
