Do you play Minecraft? Or have you played Minecraft? Well I haven't played it but when my son was younger I set it up for him on his new computer.
He played for hours and hours and like any parent I was getting concerned. Do we limit his play time?
Well we did just that. And as long as his schooling wasn't being negatively affected he was allowed to play his favorite game.
Let's Fast Forward a Little
As he grew out of Minecraft he started playing other games like Fortnite etc.
My son has always been interested in coding, video editing, photoshop etc.
He's amazing when it comes to anything computer related.
Let's Really Fast Forward
Now my son is in College and He's taking Computer Science. He's doing excellent and I'm a proud Dad!
So about a month ago my wife says to me you have a check from an ad company and I was like that's odd Because I get everything direct deposit.
Turns out it was for my son. So some further investigation we find out he's been rocking it and raking in the ad revenue for making videos on tips and tricks for Minecraft.
So I had to check everything out. I went to his youtube channel and see he has 94k subscribers.
That's pretty good. Then I checked some of his videos out and see he has some videos that have over one million views!!
Wow! I'm blown away! That just amazes me. He's doing so good and his video editing skills are excellent.
He's also present on twitter and tiktok.
Not sure about his selection of usernames. :) But whatever works.
No wonder he's not interested in being a driver for my trucking company. I would make the same decision. Do what you love to do in life!!
Anyways that's my story. :) I'm a very proud Dad!! I think he's doing amazing at what he wants to do and is successful in his school and he has a bright future ahead of him. :)
