I started a Minecraft server as a hobby project to fill some of my extra time (and hopefully make a bit of side cash). Since I only study about 5 hours a day, I had plenty of room to dive into it.
At first, it just brought in enough to cover hosting and a little extra pocket money. But a few months ago, I took some advice from this sub and started a YouTube channel. Since then, things have exploded. I’m currently making 3–4 times what my friends make at their "real" jobs.
The problem is, I’m losing focus. It’s not that I don’t have the time to study; it’s that I’ve started seeing it as a waste of time. My academic performance is taking a hit because I’d much rather be editing a video or working on the server. I’m torn—I’d need years of career experience to hit this income level in a traditional job, and I’d lose all this freedom. Has anyone else dealt with this? Should I lean into the server or force myself back into the books?
