While I'm not enthusiastic about YouTuber as a career choice, Astronaut nowadays is a singularly poor career ambition:
* Extremely high qualifications needed
* Minuscule chance of making it through the selection process
* Job is endless dealing with bureaucracy and the ever changing whims of governments, or, in the private sector, of narcissistic plutocrats.
* At best, you go on a handful of space missions in your entire career.
* And the work you get to perform on those missions is roughly the scientific equivalent of lighting a fart in space.
