YouTube channel idea: Professions

With the advent of multitude of new educational YouTube channels explaining science in an entertaining way like: numberphile, SciShow, CGPGrey, Veritasium, Numberphile, sixtysymbols and Vsause people are much more likely to get education, get it right so it sticks and keep learning after graduation.

There's one thing missing in our life in general and as a YouTube channel. Teenagers get a very little information about different professions.

In the past carpenters, farmers and kings have raised their offspring teaching their profession to the kids from an early age. Nowadays companies never allow children at their parents' work places. It's even absurd to imagine that. Hence children may not learn from their parents like it was in the past.

And though the teaching role of the parents is lost it's not replaced with anything else. Neither school nor universities give any in-depth information about thousands of different professions. So children are left to make uninformed decisions. All children, all the time. No wonder so many people are unsatisfied with their life! The feeling of being needed, joy of working and appreciation of the work you've done are one of the most motivating and rewarding feelings.

I imagine a YouTube channel where an interviewer and a camera-man are going each week (part-time) or even every day (fulltime) to one new working place suggested and selected by the subscribers. They interview and show(!) the exact daily routine of that person and try to cover all aspects of it in less than 10 minutes of a video footage. The video should be informative, engaging, fun and entertaining in order to gain a large audience.

Awkward and rare professions should be mixed with most common and wanted professions. With time many companies will compete in order to get their employees interviewed as it raises the exposure of the company.

What it's like to be a farmer, farmaceut, pilot or speleologist? I wish I knew that when I was young.
