A clinical scientist quit to pursue a career as a full-time influencer - and now earns £12k a MONTH working just six hours per week.

Josiah Young, 22, studied neuroscience and psychology after finishing school - in a biomedical science degree majoring in human physiology spanning nearly five years.

He started posting light-hearted comedy skits filmed with friends on TikTok around the same time he started his first job - as a clinical scientist specialising in sleep - in January 2024.

But just nine months on, Josiah handed in his notice - because he had amassed 200,000 followers and wanted to be a full-time influencer.

As he created more content his opportunities expanded further - and he now works with major brands including Dell, Cornetto, Microsoft and Lipton's.
