If you're nervous about being stopped on the street because you didn't come prepared, know that some questions include, how much money do you make? What field of work are you in? If you could change careers, what would it be? Do finances matter in a relationship?

And all the answers are correct. So, whether you aspire to be a food critic or just don't want a career at all, this TikTok page is vocalizing all the truths.

But Vankampen isn't the only one out there who discovered that people love money content.

A page called Canadian Income has a similar model and format, but the interviewer goes into more depth with each subject to give viewers a well-rounded understanding of what a day in their life looks like.

Mo Hameed, a 24-year-old living in Toronto, is the content creator of the Canadian Income page, and Narcity got a chance to speak with him and his reasons for starting the page.

"I wanted to show people that there are ways to make money outside of traditional careers," he said. "A lot of the time, we tend to glamourize certain careers, and honestly, some of them are barely making any money."

"I felt like this was important to highlight, especially for the younger generation," Hameed added.

Some of the jobs mentioned in the TikToks from both accounts include:

  • Surgical Kits Manager: $70,000
  • Sales Person at Audi: $115,000
  • Personal Support Worker: $60,000
