I was raised on the kind of sentiment of “do what you love, so you never work a day in your life” and “as long as you go to college, you’ll be rich” until I had to have it pointed out to me that I would need to actually find someone willing to pay me in order to make money.
I’m 18 now and have no idea what I might end up doing as a career, even though I already have a university I’m enrolled in and a major chosen
I have been told something along the lines of "do what you think you can do for years that pays decently well"
I think the college strategy worked really well for previous generations. Then the world changed fast and they didn't have any better strategy to teach us.
University at 18 damn.
Im actually in the exact same boat as you at the exact same age
Honestly I'm not money motivated, mostly due to the fact that I was a carer for my mother from a very young child. My much, much older siblings _(20+ years older than me)_ are very money motivated and work an insane amount. We're very different and that's probably due to the fact they grew up with my mum being such a hard worker to provide to give them nice things whereas during my childhood, I was used to the struggle and going without certain stuff because she was ill. Any nice things I got I always appriciated greatly.
As an adult, I'm more focused on my passions and doing what makes me and others happy. My siblings don't understand me very well and think I'm naive because i want to do something that's fulfilling instead of gruelling and backbreaking. They never understood that despite me having great grades in maths and sciences and being gifted in those areas, it was never my passion. I've always a very creative spirit but they don't see any money in that.
My mum has always pushed me to follow my dreams as she had to let many of hers go to raise my siblings and has many regrets that she didn't pursue certain paths in life. She was a single mother and she drilled her work ethic into my siblings and made them work as soon as they could so they can learn how to contribute and provide. Those siblings had to let go of their dreams when they were young and they're now really bitter 40 something year olds. I never want to be like them. I had much more freedom to do what I want and study what i wanted with both my parents support and they seemed to really resent that when i was younger. I don't need to have lavish things in life like my siblings, as long as I'm doing what I love, can buy myself food and get clothes on my back then I'm content.
I want to do fulfilling things too, but I feel like I have to be money motivated just to have enough to get by.
Sending love as a random crafter, PLEASE CONTINUE MAKING THESE VIDEOS. Like you said in another video having someone who’s in tune with you is amazing, when your feeling isolated in general
I’m 22 watching toycat and proud of it
Outro joke had a cute little twist, 7/10. I have the very expensive hobby of being a widowed mother of two, which is why I need to get back to work in 6 minutes. YOU, on the other hand, might want to work to save up for some of that there hobby of speech therapy, Toycat. ❤
Very enjoyable content recently, Toycat. Been a fan for years, I remember not fully understanding what you were saying because of your british accent and speaking speed, my english grew as I watched your videos. Thank you.
Going a philosophical route lately...OK...I can get down with this.
Love your vids like this toycat, hearing your perspective and experiences are so fun to listen to. keep em coming!
18:33 damn that is too real of a reaction lmao
Kind of a “OMG my son can start learning to drive THIS YEAR! 😱” thing! 😅
I really like this type of videos, I listen to you a lot while I'm doing stuff so this kind of deep yet quick talks you have are great to put on the background
Omg nostalgia just hit me i watched you so many years ago, i watch almost all of your vids back then,i am so suprised you still post, please keep growing
please make more videos like this man you're good at talking about stuff its actually really interesting to listen to this like a podcast
Feel like on a good day I can do a lot of work in Minecraft.. Especially if it concerns villagers
All work and no play makes Toycat a dull cat.
Dude I haven't seen your videos in years. I used to watch you when I was in the first grade. I'm almost out of high school now.
Cool story bro.
Thank you for these types of videos
Me getting paid to watch a Toycat stream at work at 2 pm (sowing), "Haha yes!". Me still working at 9 pm and watching a Toycat video (reaping) "What the heck :-(".
1:48 most people never have to experience that, I started working on a farm at 10, I know where you're coming from
Was the farm owned by your family? Or just a random farm? Because it makes sense that children work on family owned properties like farms.
@@megamegaO it was a random farm (we ended up renting from the people who owned the farm later on) but at the time it was just a random farm.
the guy who was helping them was my dads friend but he had diabete problems (so he needed help and my dad thought it would be "a good job experience" so he offered to have us help; and we were told we'd make 5 bucks a milking) *we made nothing* lol
(by we I mean my brother a I)
@@megamegaO however this knowledge did help me later on as I worked on a farm that paid 8 bucks an hr afterwards and I was making around 750 a week after taxes (which was ALOT of hours weekly)
@@COKTilYouDrop Oh wow...well, at least you have volunteer experience in milking cows lmoa
All work and no play makes Homer something something....
I listened to this while working…
I got confused after watching tons of self development and philosophical content this gets recommended to me? Are you spying Andrew?
(Your mother's story is inspirational)
Hearing about our relationship with work from a person who has been almost exclusively self-employed is a thing I experienced now.
I thought your thumbnail was a Splatoon map did not realize what it actually was😂
Uggh work. Something I put 50 hours a week into to pay the bills LoL
Nice how you post the video talking about work on a Monday.
I wish you did these everyday
I am currently very money motivated, attempting to escape from home, but unfortunately, I have to stay back and help. I crave to be free and explore, but it pains me too much to walk away from the family in the state its in. I was raised by workaholics and i got the work ethic too 😢.
For me work is the worst thing in my life. Its such a overbearing obstacle that im failing to get over. The fact that i have to do this for 50-60 years only to retire at an age where im too old, weak, and beat up to enjoy life is more often then not really soul crushing where i start to wonder if its really worth putting myself through this.
I’ve hit a point where I finally got myself into a full-time job, and I now find myself thinking, “28 years of this to go”… but I certainly don’t want to burden my kids…. I hope I’ll be in some kind of functional condition by 70 (when social security maxes out)…
that'a a good wisdom
Thanks man
Im not money motivated beyond paying for my hobbies, i just feel intrinsic value from working and feeling busy, it helps keep my brain active and problem solving is fun
Id love to work less and earn more so i could spend more time on hobbies sure, but who doesnt.
Toycat, I wanted to comment and I typically don’t because I always watch on my Xbox. So, kinda on topic to the video, work and play. I’m an EMT. I’m in America, and drive 40 minutes to and from work. I’ve found that the schedule I have, I work 24 hours on and 48 off, is one of the best schedules. I work, then the next two days I’m able to do whatever so I wish. I personally deeply enjoy my work and have such a passion for treating people. I get paid $17.73/hr. It is so fulfilling and I do wish EMTs made more. But I can work and then be able to do another thing I enjoy (video games, guitar, etc..) Just sharing my thoughts
Toycat when 1.21 releases will you be wearing your elytra or a chestplate for the trial chambers and will you use a shield instead of the totem of undying?
I've been self employed for about 7 years now, used to do seasonal work but that's mostly stopped with changes in the market- now i do essentially mail order work-i very much feel the days of work that get you nothing, or a few messages that pay your rent next month, what even is stability...
Great video
If you weren’t doing CZcams do you think you’d be doing some sort of online freelance work like when you were younger or something completely different?
I have a problem where I want to work for free sometimes. I am good at 3D modelling and hacking consoles, some people have approached me to help them and offer to pay me, and I find it hard to say yes sometimes because I don't like making people pay. I like just teaching people without packaging it as a "course". It's a similar mentality to open-source software, and much like open-source software itself it has been detrimental to me.
breakup video came in a very especific moment of my life 😢
Toycat please see the warden
Pay Taxes
On Mc xbox 1 edition was there always a water section in the mini game hub?
I started a new world and spawned in water, and was instantly pierced with a trident yielding drowned... 😂 Quickest ive ever failed a challenge.
Work vs. Play? What pays the bills?
Who plays with Bill?
Where pays the bills?
Who pays bill?
;)
I should really get back to work, instead of watching this video...
You'll get different electricity rates depending on what hour do you use it? Bullocks
when you were a minor were you called ibxoykitten
I have always and still do hate looking for jobs I enjoy + pay a livable wage. Wouldn’t mind if I was able to be self employed but I lack the skills required
What you need obsidian for?
that is a wierd topic but okay XD
so real
Rub one out for Toycat❤
You’re relationship with money doesn’t sound healthy, to me because money is important yeah but when it’s a the point where it becomes the reason you’re doing things is a slippery slope kids don’t let it stop your from living your life you make your own happiness
My parents both grew up in poverty, put money ahead of all else, and have ended up “wandering through (their) empty home(s), surrounded by (their) things”, as the song goes. The usual use for money is ultimately to raise the next generation. I do not regret for a second having children, in spite of the vast financial cost. What else that mattered more would I have spent that money on? 🤷♀️
Lucky im here quick
❤
Lol I'm actually demotivated by money. It's a self-esteem thing in my case.
lmk if you wanna do some work for free some time
@@toycat lmao
Wow 16 seconds
Nice😂🎉😢
Nice❤
Minecraft
damn
hi
Lol like the guy wasn't loaded enough hat he could stop wokring right now and wouldnt have to look for the next job for 5 years. The only reason to keep uploading unwatched videos is to keep the ad revenue for 10-year-old popular videos going on
why's there so many "lady bots" in the comments lol
Idk but CZcams needs to start doing their job and get rid of the bots
Ever thought if making a positive minecraft video
No
AAAAAAAAAAAA
FIRST
400 views in 12 minutes you fell off 😕
You are just still a kid playing a video game and letting people watch you if Minecraft did not exist who would you be
You know he's 28 lol
Only people who are insecure about their own maturity run around and call others kids. The "big kid" effect. I'm probably older than you and I enjoy Minecraft and Toycat. Work that information into your world view 😂
@@kylebowles9820 actually I'm 57 and I've been playing Minecraft since it was released and I have watched a 100 hours of toy cat
Hello @ibxtoycat how are you??
