SSSniperWolf may have loved gaming from an early age, but when the time came to consider career choices, gaming content (or any content creation, for that matter) wasn’t the first thing that came to mind. Au contraire, as she explained in a YouTube video titled, “Why I Dropped Out of School,” after taking a few classes at her local community college (an experience she hated every minute of, and which prompted her to move to a different university), she had her sights set on a job in the medical fraternity.
“I was stuck between nursing and pharmacy,” she shared. Though she initially leaned towards the latter, SSSniperWolf laughed that after the grueling schedule of pre-pharmacy, she switched gears to nursing. “I could save lives, and I was really nocturnal at the time, so I thought working night shifts sounded really exciting,” she explained. However, once again, after meeting the requirements to get into nursing, she wasn’t completely sold on the idea and opted out.

Luckily for SSSniperWolf, quitting university didn’t mean she was out of options. As she shared in another YouTube video a few months later, she had long been running her own resell business on eBay. In fact, that very business is another avenue she took before becoming a YouTube sensation — and it certainly helped her pay her way during her early days on the platform.
