AITAH for turning down a "real job" because OnlyFans is easier money?

I (19F) feel really conflicted about this and it’s starting to get to me.

I recently got offered a full-time admin job through one of my mom’s friends. It’s a normal 9to5 and pays a little above minimum wage. My parents were super happy about it and kept calling it a “real opportunity.”

The thing is, I’m already making more than that on OnlyFans.

I started it a few months ago when I was struggling financially, and it ended up doing way better than I expected. It’s not crazy money, but it’s consistent and definitely more than this job would pay me. Plus I can work from home and make my own schedule.

When I told my parents I didn’t want to take the job, they got really upset. They said I’m being immature, that OnlyFans isn’t stable, and that I’m hurting my future. My dad said I’m embarrassing the family, and my mom said she’s disappointed in me.

I understand their point, but I don’t see why I should take a lower-paying job just so it looks better on paper. I’ve been saving most of what I make and I’m not planning to do this forever.

Still, their reaction is making me question myself.

AITAH for turning down the job and sticking with OnlyFans?
