Creators Today Are Getting Eaten Alive
A survey done by Lego on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing found that more children today want to grow up to be Youtuber than anything else. Why anyone would want to be Pewdiepie over a garbage truck driver eludes me, but maybe I’m just getting old.

Jobs like writers, artists, musicians, craftsmen, yoga teachers, or surfboard shapers. It’s not just the kid...
