Ross Ball, 43, from Cornwall, has informed his wife today that he’s no longer going to go to work. Instead, he’s decided to give up a successful career as a barrister to pursue a new life as a Twitch streamer.

His recent Twitch streams where watched by at least ten people, giving Ross the encouragement he needed to change career paths.

“It just feels right.” adds Michael. “My gran said I have a nice voice. When I see such a large viewing audience, I’d be mad not to do it.”

Ross’ wife is understandably shocked about the decision. “We’re supposed to be saving for a new house and now this. He has a first class honours degree.” said Charlotte, understandably shaken at the prospect of becoming homeless. 

“Ten viewers is great,” she adds. “Sadly it doesn’t put food on the table, even if he did receive a 50p donation yesterday.” 

We asked Michael if he was worried about the future.

"I've had 3 new subscribers this week, and have ordered a webcam. The future’s looking bright.”
