Quit My Job To Be A Full-Time YouTuber? 

I KNOW THIS GUY. His channel is Institute of Human Anatomy. I used him during my medical studies and I love him. Dude is very smart and helpful. Surprised he listens to Dave and Team. Small world. Keep it up dude!

Dude! As a full -time RU-vidr I'm telling you, DUMP THE JOB NOW!!! and go all in! You are making more doing this than any "real" job would EVER pay! You've nailed the niche...go for it!

It never ceases to amaze me how much the callers dance around and never actually answer the questions the hosts ask

This guy seems like he’s put a lot more thought into it than somebody saying “I wanna do RU-vid” without a plan. He got the right hosts to talk to. I get the fear but we have a business and it can be really rewarding long term.

Guy doesn't know how much he's making from RU-vid - the most essential piece of information in his decision.

TikTok thinks it's the future, but it won't have the longevity and community that RU-vid has provided. Good luck to anyone out there brave enough to venture the RU-vid industry. It is not easy, but extremely rewarding to those who commit and grow.

This is my dream too. Everyone wants to be a RU-vidr until they realize how much work and research goes into it

he guys mentioned the caller could leave PA position at some point. A person in the medical profession has a lot of ongoing learning and certifications to maintain. If the caller leaves, it may be tough to get back in. Plus, his RU-vid channel benefits from his working experience.

Hey man, I'm already subscribed to this guy, so whatever he does I support it!

Content creators typically have a lifespan of 4-7 years. It’s hard to create relevant content that is competitive and keeps people coming back over and over.

I completely understand his fear. I felt the same way when I quit my job. Though it seems so obvious to do, it's a bit scary not knowing when your next paycheck is. But if I could do it he definitely could. He seems way smarter than me lol

Well done! I love how information is becoming more and more available.

I love that channel! It's excellent to see educational content by trained professional.

This was well worth listening too! As I continue to grow my channel, I’ve lowered my hours at my job and started dedicating all my spare time into Capital Hunter. Thank you all for sharing!

This guy’s channel is my favorite on the entire RU-vid, and I’ve learned a lot from his partner and him about my own body and health. Their channel is wonderful!

Whatever makes money, makes money. There is no reason to overthink this decision

I was literally just watching his video on rabies and the placenta!! So cool!! Keep it up brother!!

Do it! New subscriber here! I’m an MD and can’t wait to watch.

You already ARE a full time RU-vidr! You make several times as much on RU-vid as your day job. There’s a good chance those 20 hours a week will end up being more valuable working more on RU-vid. Nothing to be scared of, you aren’t changing careers, you ALREADY changed careers, you’re just cutting the old side gig!

Maintain the PA certifications, keep up with your CE to stay current. Do RU-vid full time and if it ever fails go back to being a PA full time.

We watch his channel often love those guys!

I think holding the job until the debt is gone is the right way. The only reason I think that is because he said he’s only doing 20 hours. The main job has become the side job but as soon as the debt is gone and he has 10k in his emergency fund, then the traditional job should go

The best way this works if you have a good real job first that can sustain you and your family... Do RU-vid part time and once your channel takes off you can switch to it full time. And after watching the video it seems like this guy has done that. Good for him. RU-vid pays REALLY well IF and only IF you can get good viewership.

I'm a PA as well. I don't know enough about his RU-vid channel and how sustainable it could be for the long term But with still having student loan debt I feel like I would want to keep my thumb on the pulse of clinical medicine for a little while longer until I built up a really really nice pile of cash Maybe go down to like one shift a month or something like that just so that you're not abandoning clinical practice in case the RU-vid thing goes down But hold on to it until you feel more secure in the RU-vid thing long term

I’m a RU-vidr. Kudos on your success!

I know this guy too! Their channel is unique !

Holy cow!!! Good for this guy!

😮I wish I could get accreditation for all my hours of watching Utube. There is so much free knowledge out there.

I'm a subscriber to his channel and it's awesome content. Small world indeed!!!

I think I've seen that guys channel. Him and his partner do pretty good stuff

Definitely leave and go to RU-vid. There are so many other avenues, as well. Patreon, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Twitch, Metacafe, Vevo, Crackle, Veoh. The possibilities are endless. Best of successes to him. 🙏🏾

Was expecting the hosts to shutdown his RU-vid venture and make him stick to the old, traditional route. So glad I was wrong. But if Dave was there, he probably would've mocked him for his RU-vid venture, being an old-fashioned guy.

I would do 10 hrs PA and do the youtube. Always good as a medical professional to keep up your skills. Doing something is easier to go back to rather then doing nothing.

Why do so many callers have such a hard time with the question "what do you make?" The answer is a number, not your life story.

This is the the 10% business partnerships that is actually successful and makes sense.

Good luck Jonathan, love your RU-vid channel....stay focused on the debt man!!!

I’m a fan of the the show! Definitely ditch the job and focus on growing the business!

I’ve learned more human anatomy from this channel than I ever learned in school. It’s amazing information.

I did it, you can do it!

I'd be hesitant to call Dave Ramsey and share my RU-vid earnings, because if sponsors saw it they might try to undervalue a brand deal.

I think if you can get it going then great and go for it but if you dont have a good start dont quit your job

I love their channel.

I love his channel!!!!!! I always watch it!

I’ve been subscribed to this guy for a while also. As he started describing what he did I became suspicious it was him. Cool hearing him call in.

He is not going to do bad. He has a great career and can always teach. Win, win situation.

You can always go back to being a PA. You are in demand in both places. Follow your passion and money. You are right, an irrational fear.

I'm always amazed when very successful business owners lack the business acumen to answer even the most basic business questions. How do you not know your basic financial figures despite also having a business partner?

Good channel! I like it.

Just need to understand RU-vid is completely saturated and Adsense could go away on a whim.

As a youtube creator, I will tell you that RU-vid isn’t something you can just quit your job over. You have to build up a RU-vid following over time and only when it is large enough can you make a living off of it

This Human Anatomy is a good channel. I've been watching it.

Wow that give me incentive to get my youtube channel going cool !

I could have used his help years ago when I was in school.

It worked for me…

He can't keep his license if he only does RU-vid. Trust me I am an NP and you still have to keep working in the job to maintain your license. He won't keep his license if he only does RU-vid. Keep your license Jonathan. The Ramsey doesn't know what it takes to keep your license as a PA!

Wow, well done on your success. That is crazy to make that much on RU-vid.

Im trying to start a youtube channel. Mine haven’t gone nuts yet but hopefully one day ill make some bread of youtube

I Watch this guys videos 🤙🏾

He doesn't even know how much money he's making from RU-vid. He needs to get on top of his income and expense numbers before quitting the PA job.

It might be Institute of human anatomy Channel but I don’t know for sure. There is a Jonathan there as well. But his videos are interesting

Good advise!

George’s “riches in the niches” comment got me 😂

Sounds like free promotion for his channel.

I’ve seen his videos. That’s awesome!

His channel sounds awesome!

Institute of Human Anatomy! It's such a great channel.

"There's riches in the niches" 🤣

There's riches in the niches 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 George, I cannot manage you

If this is who I think it is, he is so successful at youtube, who cares if he quits his job?

Yes i have watched his vids. VERY good!

RU-vid is good for side money but I would not recommend it for full time. But if you do RU-vid full time have back end money. A website, sell merch, sell memberships, stream, ect.

I know this guy. I love the videos and I'm not in the medical industry at all.

He’s in a great position if I was him I would ride both out for alil bit and just stack stack stack so in acouple years I can just sit back and chill

The video picture is clickbait and I feel like it says it all.

In a practical sense, if you're confident you can live off the content you're making on RU-vid, and if you love what you do? No need to ask. You do it. But I'd say if you can do both in a part-time setting, why not? Keep up!

It’s not really free. You have to pay for internet access, if you want ad free viewing, and now creators are starting premium pay for memberships.

He needed his education to be able to make his videos, so I wouldn't say higher ed is out, but we are headed to a different future. It sounds like his channel is proving good quality and accurate content which is helping students and the general public become more knowledgeable about the human anatomy which is cool and why he's making so much money. I don't know that the average person could make a successful channel the way he did. Also, I wonder what will happen as more people become RU-vidrs and we have more channels to choose from that offer similar content and teaching styles. The big better channels of a type of content will likely dominate smaller budget production, and it will be harder to get a channel off the ground.

If you give up the PA position at the doc-in-a-box keep up your PANCE.

I am subscribed to this guy!!!

LOL that face at 2:37 you know where this is going.

In the medical profession, to remain up to date to “jump back in”, you need a minimum of clinical hours that’s not insignificant & lots of continuing medical education. So not as easy to just “jump back in”. I’d see how viable it would be to do the bare minimum to keep certified which should be a fair amount less than he is doing now. Well done on the channel though.

This guy sounds like a young tech who used to work in my shop He loved his job, but quit on me because he saw RU-vidrs like TheStradman and Tavarish standing in front of a Lamborghini and wanted that same level of success without having to work 50 hours a week Months later he realized he was in over his head, was almost out of money and came back begging for his job. Normally I would've told someone who burned their bridges like that to get lost, but I gave him a second chance because I knew he'd learned his lesson and now he's training to become a Master Tech specializing in Mopar products

This is exactly why I use Adblock

He’s shitting his pants on that phone call

I can eat while watching Dr. Pimple Popper. I could totally have a snack. 😂

I hate it when people who make six digits call up and ask stupid questions. If you're making 200K, you don't have a problem.

These RU-vidrs never want to give a answer on what they make

Wow sounds like a really smart guy

How viable is the tube channel long term.

Why not go for it? It sounds like he enjoys this, and he's making enough to pay the bills, etc. I hope he also sets up a channel on other platforms, too. The more places you can be, the better.

Of course he is from utah so many youtubers are from there

He never answered your question and you let him off the hook

These kids who think just because they see one person making it on youtube doesnt mean they will to, they need to work real jobs and careers untill they can prove themselves.

Why would you call into a show like this and not know your numbers...

He has a great channel

Bro just answer the questions

He's making good money. I would do more PA work to pay off the debt.

If you're earning 80k for 20 hours a week, how much do full-time PAs make?

Marriage itself can be hard enough, and now you are adding the complexity of money and in-laws…. Very tough… you should talk more and communicate your own expectation.

Let's think into the future. I'd lose interest in a medical channel from a non-practicing doctor. At least with time. So maybe he should keep both jobs.
