To get straight into it, I'm a second year college student in both English literature and engineering majors.

English lang isn't my first, not even my second language.

My passion for it drove me to learn the language on my own a couple of years ago and my love for it only got bigger and bigger over time.

I find utmost joy and fun speaking with foreigners (on some apps) and practicing the language on a daily basis.

My parents want me to be engineer but i despise this major and my hatred for its details is just beyond words.

It feels now like I'm walking on 2 ropes but i will have to get off one of them.

One of the main reason i decided to study English lit at uni besides the engineering is that i knew back then, that a day would come when I'd have to stick to one path and let go of the other.

I haven't opened up to my parents coz i can imagine what their reaction would be already.. and that literature can no longer pay well and stuff.

Meanwhile in my head, I've set a full plan of how i want things to go, i mean, it's my passion, i can acquire wayyy more freedom in literature than i can in engineering.

I can diversify my streams of income, it's 2026 already.

I can start posting on social media platforms, a YouTube channel and this alone can be enough in long run, i can start giving private classes after building a fan base.. i can be a traditional teacher or even a translator.

I will focus on improving people's speaking skills instead of grammar and boring rules.. which is far more enjoyable and fun than traditional teaching ..

Plus, the idea of 9 to 5 job in engineering doesn't sound enjoyable to me ngl.

AND I'd rather persue my passion with freedom and a normal income, than get trapped in a 9 to 5 job like a slave with double the income of literature.

I'm aware i can make a lot more money than engineering in the long run but I'm not in a rush.

And very soon I'm getting to a point of no return...

I either grasp what i aspire to or fall into the unknown.

Hey everyone, I'm starting a YouTube channel soon but i first need to get myself a nice camera.

I've been advised multiple times with zv e10 , but it's way out of the budget (which is around $500).

So how much do you think used ones of this camera are sold? Does used mean bad?

I'd be greatful if you enlighten me and share some knowledge with me, thank you 🙏🏼

I'm seriously planning on starting a YouTube channel where I'll be talking and addressing the audience,

So naturally i will want to get myself a camera for a high-quality recordings.

My requirements:

1. Most importantly, the screen can be turned for a selfie video

2. Decent camera, not anything

3. Is that it meets my budget (500 max)

Please if you're knowledgeable about this topic, don't hesitate to help me out 🙏🏼

Hello everyone.

As much as the title says, what payment method is guaranteed to withdraw money coming from outside the country?

I know PayPal is blocked here, payoneer has high restrictions, whether partial or complete...

Idk about other ways...

If anyone has knowledge or experience with any payment method, please don't hesitate to share your it with us here.

Thank u !!!
