It's one of those things where its only going to be a "real job" for very few people. It doesn't matter how "charismatic" you are, or how much you actually stream, because very few people are going to be successful streamers at all, let alone make it a full-time job. The overwhelming majority of people who stream on Twitch, for example, are averaging less than 30 viewers a night. That's basically nothing,
What most of these 'aspiring streamers' miss is that most of their audience is not going to come from Twitch. They are going to follow them from YouTube, or another social media platform, where it is much easier to build a following. In other words, yes, it is possible to make streaming a job, it just isn't likely.
I don't care what anyone says about tech or entertainment not being "real, honest work," because the only qualifier to what is -and isn't- a job is whether or not that occupation makes money. Period. If you make $12/hr on a dead-end job that has you firmly pressed against the glass ceiling 8 hours a day to pay your bills, and you can replace that with something else that can guarantee you the same money, do the other thing instead. It isn't about the TYPE of job you're doing, its about whether or not you can do it without missing the rent. I really can't stand people who see someone doing something they actually like for a living, and immediately turn around with the trusty ol' "Well, that's not a REAL job! You're not contributing to society" crap, because we all know these people would never say that if it was them in the same position. These people would never turn down an acting role, beta testing games/technology, or a speaking role at a conference to flip burgers at Burger King, because its a "real job." "Oh boy, I better not cash in my 500 Million dollar lottery ticket, because that's not a REAL JOB! Guess I'll keep working in sanitation dumping trash in a garbage truck the rest of my life!"
