Czech Republic student, 19-year-old Denisa Lacinova and Irish student, 22-year-old Harry Odife, are pictured through the monitor of a camera in the media room at the South East Technological University in Carlow, eastern Ireland , on Sep 24, 2024, where a new course has started in Content Creation and Social Media.

"It got amazing traction, we could see the appetite for more, so we broadened it to degree level," said McCormick, a former television producer and director. "My friends tell me I talk a lot so I thought I might as well make money out of it and try this course," Harry Odife, 22, told AFP in the campus TV studio during a roleplay exercise.
Surveys consistently show that most Gen-Z youths - those born between 1997 and 2012 - would consider a job as a vlogger, YouTuber or professional streamer. Another student, keen equestrian Marta Hughes Bravo, said horse stud farms now seek staff who are social media-savvy.
