Let's Play-ers EVERYWHERE!

I spend almost all of my free time watching YouTube, and almost every time I will be watching a well-known YouTuber who is known for their gaming. And I love it, I think at would be just amazing to create my own channel and entertain people just by doing something I love; gaming. There is a massive demand for gaming channels on YouTube and it's become so popular now that the majority of the conversations I hear and participate in are about games that certain YouTubers have played or the YouTubers themselves.
One day I really do want to scrounge up the money to get decent shit so I can make my own YouTube channel and annoy the shit out of everyone with my squeaky 12-year-old-girl-sounding voice, but that causes major conflict in what I want to do for my career. For a few years now, I've had my heart set on becoming an educational psychologist, who is kind of like a teacher that specialises in how to help a child's disability and can create ways of helping that child learn and function well in society, and up until about June this year, that's all I wanted to be. Being the complete lazy-ass that I am, I tend to procrastinate a lot, and that time I'm not using goes into watching my favourite YouTubers such as JackSepticEye, Markiplier, CinnamonToastKen, The Game Theorists (and Film Theorists), VanossGaming, MiniLadd, Dathi De Nogla, Good Mythical Morning, etcetera, etcetera... and I have fallen in love with the idea of sharing my love of video games and stupid nonsense commentary through YouTube. It's just so awesome, and with all the influence YouTubers have these days, there is so much good that I could do with the influence I could get, like how Mark uses what he earns from doing his videos to charities, it's amazing and incredibly inspirational.

But here's my problem: I love the ideas of me having either of these as my career, and I can't decide.
I mean, yeah, I'm not just going to choose YouTube over getting a degree, I would still go off to Uni and get my degree in psychology no matter what, but I want to do YouTube as well. I could always begin making videos during Uni, like I know Jack did, but if those videos do well and it is possible to make YouTube my career, what do I do? I have a degree that I can use to help kids get through school, or I can spend my time making funny moments videos and maybe one day be good enough and earn enough to donate to a charity, which would definitely be great because I do really want to be able to donate something to help others, but I just don't have that kind of disposable income - I pretty much have no income at all seeing as I don't have a job (my parents give me money ^-^) - and I feel bad for not doing something.
I guess I'll figure it out as I go, that method's been working for me pretty well so far...

On a side note, I have almost finished this year! I have until the 6th when classes finish, then I just have to show up for all my exams, then an awards ceremony, then year 12 orientation... Okay, so it does still sound like a while, but once actual classes finish, I don't have to be at school all day, I just have to show up for an hour or so, then leave and enjoy the rest of my day. Year 12 orientation, however, is not going to be so much fun. It's four. Days. Long. Last year's orientation was only like, one day where we got holiday homework and found out our classes and teachers, why does this one take four damn days?! How much homework will we be getting, holy crap I can see it now... no one will ever see me again. I'm gonna need a 260 page notebook for all the homework I'll be doing. Sigh.
Only one more year of this...
