"Made Over $1 Million": YouTuber Zara Dar Quits PhD To Become Adult Content Creator
YouTuber Zara Dar, a former advocate for women in science and technology, has quit her PhD pursuit to become an OnlyFans model. In a YouTube video titled "PhD dropout to OnlyFans model," Ms Dar explained her decision, stating that while it was a difficult choice, she's not particularly sad. She described her move to OnlyFans as a career switch and a gamble on her future.
"Moving on to doing OnlyFans and content creation full-time it's not just a career choice it feels kind of like a gamble on the direction of my entire life," Ms Dar said.
Ms Dar has over 1 lakh subscribers on YouTube, her previous videos included tutorials on machine learning and neural networks.
Ms Dar, while considering a future in academia, ultimately decided to leave her PhD program. She weighed the potential benefits of a polished career in academia with the alternative path of becoming a professor and mentoring students. However, the tradeoffs associated with this lifestyle ultimately influenced her decision to pursue a different path.
"People whose lifestyles I thought I envied are tied to someone else's vision. They'll spend their lives working for a company and doing things they don't necessarily enjoy," she said, adding that these people would never get the recognition they deserve.
