creator vs consumer

every kid nowadays has a dream of becoming a youtuber. some follow through with it and actually start one. very few continue and persevere. I made it as far as starting a channel and uploading a couple videos when I was in middle school

I would be curious to see a study tracking these kids throughout the rest of their lives and seeing how "successful" they become. I predict there will be a correlation between those that take initiative to pursue their creative dreams and those that become traditionally successful
