That's a great opportunity for someone who wants to help poverty out. I think vlogging is something you don't have to come into the office for either. If I didn't have a full time firefighting career in NYC, had FCP 5 skills, and perhaps a journalism course somewhere I would give it a try. I have a BFA in Painting & Drawing that I paid for myself in 5 years of college. Paid in full by doing three years in the US Army. For someone with college bills, rent, and a normal life though, I think it would take some good back up from mom & pop, doing anything in the arts.
