LIgthing, you have good reason to break out Cham---uh, er I mean Quafe. Not all of us do the standard career path of Grunt or Medic or LogiBro. Those branches of merc have the easiest grind to gain SP, because they at weapon or equipment in hand, and around ever next corner of the building is the chance to stack up WP.
Turret-specialists, Recon-specialists and Overwatch Squad Leader practitioners likely only have built 40 million in 2 years, and some Vehicle Operators (like, errr Dropships) will grind less than 30 million SP in 2 years.
Dust IS a piece of work for making you "earn your way" to a career.
....What do I like to see in our Dust vids? Honestly? I'd like to see fewer of them. 
The EVE Online players still beat us at making some of the most riveting, Audio/MIC coordinated, and strategically enlightening New Eden style combat footage.
...By comparison, our videos tend to lack (TEND TO lack, not always lack)
 editing skills of the kind you see in EVE vids,
teamwork recognition of the kind you see in EVE vids,
helpful identification of key players actions through the fog of the match,
helpful overview of the progress of the match,
 and proper toning down of "the author's patting herself on the back for being such a hotshot soldier--toot toot",
 and toning down of the tendency to rant about glitches (just edit those scenes out--make an entertaining movie for us, please).
There are plenty of, well,..."sketchy" or "drab" vids make by EVE and Dust players on youtube. But there are also plenty of rock-solid vids made by EVE players that are good enough to win amateur web director recognition,... and unfortunately very few made by Dust players that carry that reach that same "impressive for amateur" quality.
NOT trying to spit on Dust video hounds. I WANT to see our vids knock an EVE Online vid to the curb more often. Lightning, collect your Dust footage and find a buddy who still uses MAC's Final Cut Pro 7. Make us proud of you.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
No story can have life without writers and publishers.
