YouTube turns a profit for Temple dental student

YouTube turns a profit for Temple dental student
Rob Homayoon, a 25-year-old dental student at Temple, has found a way to make money for himself — about $70,000 since 2008 — by creating origami paper cranes and solving the Rubik's Cube on his YouTube channel. The videos are shot in his apartment, nothing very elegant — a few bookshelves in the background. "I'm showing that I'm in my apartment and that I'm doing it all by myself," said Homayoon. "It is really hard to balance my life, school and YouTube. Sometimes I wonder whether I should be making videos and whether I should be in dentistry, [but] I definitely want to do both."
