I’m currently working a job that pays around ₹12,000 per month, but I also have a YouTube channel with around 92,000 subscribers.

The channel is monetized and still makes money even though I haven’t uploaded a video in almost 2 years. My last video is still generating revenue, and I make around ₹10,000 per year from the channel without actively working on it.

My biggest problem is that my current job takes up most of my time, so I don’t have enough time or energy to seriously work on YouTube.

I’m thinking about quitting my job and giving myself 6 months to work on YouTube full-time and see if I can turn the channel into a real income source.

I also have support from my brother, so I wouldn’t be completely on my own financially during those 6 months.

But I’m honestly unsure if this is a smart decision or if I’m being too optimistic.

**What would you do in my situation?**

Would you:
Keep the ₹12k/month job and try to do YouTube on the side?

Quit the job and give YouTube 6 months full-time ?

Find another job with better hours and build YouTube alongside it?

For people who have actually gone full-time with YouTube: **how did you decide it was worth taking the risk?**

I’d really appreciate honest advice, especially from people who have been in a similar situation.

So this happened literally an hour ago and I’m still buzzing.

My mom, my cousin, and I were standing outside talking when a dog I’ve never seen in my life just wandered up to us. Not aggressive, just… there. It kept using its front paw to rub at its mouth, right near its nose, over and over — three or four times. At first we just thought it was an itch or something normal.

Then I looked closer.

There was a big black lump stuck right at the edge of its mouth. I leaned in even more and realized — it was a tick. A fat, blood-sucking parasite, latched on tight.

I asked my mom what to do and she said it needed to come off. My cousin tried first but backed off, scared the dog might bite. So I stepped in, pet the dog for a bit to calm it down, and its tail actually started wagging. That gave me the confidence to try.

Removing that thing was NOT easy. It was soft but insanely strong, like it was cemented to the dog’s skin. The dog kept shifting around and I kept half-expecting to get bitten, but I stayed with it. Took me three or four tries before I finally got enough grip and pulled it off in one go.

The second it came off, the dog’s mouth just started bleeding — a lot, and it wouldn’t stop for a while. My mom grabbed a stone and tried to kill the tick right there, and it would NOT die. Like, unkillably tough. She said she’s seen these before on street dogs and cattle and they’re notoriously hard to kill. A few drops of blood came out of the tick itself too.

I grabbed a nearby newspaper to blot the blood off the dog’s mouth — it soaked through and turned completely red. Then we put turmeric powder on the spot (it’s got natural antiseptic properties), and after a bit the bleeding finally slowed down and stopped.

And then the dog just… relaxed. Started playing around happily like nothing happened, hung out for a bit, and then wandered off the way it came.

I have no idea whose dog that was. I’ll probably never see it again. But for a few minutes today I got to help a scared, hurting animal that had no one else to turn to, and it trusted us enough to let it happen.

Ngl, I walked away from that feeling like a superhero. 10/10 random Tuesday moment.
