I have uploaded one raw data approach the other day with a friend of mine who made the video. Please like and share! I'm running low this month!
Ok I'm out.

What kind of 'content' have you got to offer that would be of interest on YouTube, as a newly qualified CPL with no job and no flying experience? Serious question.

Early on I think your best bet is to get a Patreon channel or similar if only to get people sending you money directly if they like your videos. As several Youtubers I follow say... it pays for the fuel!

If the VET system is anything like the UK student loans system then a student would be stupid to spend a penny of their savings or other offered family money in paying off the debt. There are many reasons why you might never pay off the student loan so best to leave it until your wages are high enough to start paying it off automatically. Meanwhile the savings and family money goes on finding somewhere to live after the course, putting a deposit down and investing in whatever you need for your job.
You might never need to pay it back so why start?

Pretty hard to NOT pay it back in Australia with the threshold so low for paypack.

I am talking about using the university loan in the way it was designed to be used here in the UK
"Don't consider it a debt, consider it a personal investment into your future earnings potential"
It's very true to say that nothing comes for free, the 'free' university degrees in the UK back up until the 2000's were paid for by the UK Government and, hence, the tax payer. In order to increase the availability of courses and to try to shrug off the veneer of 'elitism' under the social mobility banner the 'fee' was introduced including a 'means tested' sliding scale of benefits. As audioguy has correctly stated the investment of a country in education and the upward mobility of its citizens in the earnings market reaps taxation rewards that far exceed the initial outlay.
However in order to benefit from the future advantages such a qualification, be it a degree of a professional flying qualification, brings you must first invest. If that monetary outlay/debt is something you neither want or can handle then don't do the course. That investment also includes studying carefully future job markets for the qualification you are trying to achieve. Whilst no one could have foreseen the COVID collapse it is well known that the flying market is highly volatile and cyclic. Never trust a singular source (CAE!
).Always remember that the current, younger job seekers are not 'leeches' but the ones that will be paying in the future for your, and my, retirement.
Even for Governments nothing comes for free!
I believe Martin Lewis of finance fame suggested the best analogy for the UK system.

YouTube views are worth approximately US$2,000 for 1 million views and Youtube will take 45% of that revenue, then you will pay income tax on that. That is considered the minimum
Stefan Drury 84,000 subscribers, 10.5m total channel views since it was created = TOTAL channel income starting at AUD $16,500, less tax (it varies widely, but you can bank on somewhere around that much or more)
Mentour Pilot 642,00 subscribers, 82m total channel views = Total income starting from US $136k gross.
Ninja Kids TV 10m subscribers, 4.5B views - do your numbers on that! Net channel worth is US $11m!
Steveo1Kinevo - 429,000 subscribers, 58m views = Total income starting from AUS $67,000 after tax....
+ any endorsements.
Some of those channels have been running for a long time to get to this point, so as you can see, it's certainly not all roses as those are the TOTAL channel income, not annual!

You can Google the net worth of the channels quite easily. It’s why they all have to resort to paid promotions such as Trent Palmer promoting mattresses, not to mention those chasing Patreons.
If you have a monetised YouTube channel and an experimental aircraft, you are exempt from the requirements, unlike normal pilots and certified aircraft who must follow all rules.
For those of you familiar with Melbourne airspace, what do you notice at the 6m 15s mark regarding the radio call(s)?
(You don’t have to sit through the whole thing, you can skip to that point)

Shocking..
He appeared to cut off the read back of MDS being cleared to Tyabb. (Granted.. could be edited that way)
also, he talks about getting a clearance.. however he doesn’t require a clearance where he is (operating VFR in Class E airspace).
Maybe I should be a pro YouTube dude.. would actually be of some educational value.
It’s so cute that he got all excited that he got through the scary ‘controlled airspace’. Reminds me of when I was a little boy.
