In a YouTube video discussing her choice to change careers, Zara Dar disclosed the same information. She may be heard stating, "It feels more like a gamble on the course of my entire life than just a career decision to move on to doing OnlyFans and content creation full-time."

Dar has over one lakh subscribers on YouTube and she has been a student of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Her YouTube has tutorial videos on machine learning and neural networks.

Zara clarified that after making this choice, she feels "liberated." Having made this choice, she said, she is no longer bound by "the expectations of an academic institution or the constraints of a corporate office."

"I'm glad I didn't take out any college debts. I now hold a variety of investments and intend to purchase a home of my own. These achievements demonstrate the observable benefits of forging my own route and the liberation it has granted me," she said.

She ended her video by reiterating that most professors in America earn $100,000 a year and spend their time writing grant proposals instead of doing research. This is not the life she envisioned for herself.

Her video has racked up nearly a million views and plenty of comments, with many shocked at how a career in adult content pays more than traditional choices.
