I am no work advisor so I can't really comment on that one.

What I can comment on is that you should do what will make you happy and/or what helps people. Someone in your position with an education stands to teach the world a lot about things that wouldn't understand. If you feel you are up to the task I say go for it!!!

Yah. I'm thinking the YouTube/Motivational Speaking type job is the way to go - I just have NO clue on how to go about it... Hopefully someone can offer insight on how to break into an industry like that.

Again, not something I can give professional insight on. However, there are numerous others who speak on YouTube about these things and by relating to your viewers and being related to you can probably achieve your goals. It's definitely worth a shot and may help you find the professional connections you need to make this a reality.

Edit: spelling. Stupid swipe text
