Student Favour Ehuchie poses for a photograph in the media room at the South East Technological University (SETU) in Carlow, eastern Ireland on September 24, 2024, where a new course has started in Content Creation and Social Media. It's a job that didn't exist until recently but becoming an influencer is an ever more popular career path among Gen-Z youth in the modern era of social media. Now a first-of-its-kind course at an Irish university is teaching wannabe influencers how to convert online presence and content on platforms like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube into revenue streams. "I post a lot of the hairstyles I do on TikTok and Instagram, it would be nice to have the knowledge to grow that into an actual business," said Favour Ehuchie, an 18-year-old hairdresser.
