I've been on a business podcast. Nothing will happen once you are on one.

That's literally what happened to me though. Never broke a B average all through college. Majored in communications just to get the degree out of the way. Worked shitty MLM/sales/corporate drone jobs and learned absolutely nothing and languished at shitty wages for 10+ years.
Decided to lrn2code, but didn't like it. did like tech, however. Worked my way into help desk, then sysadmin. Then IT manager.
Now i'm in my late 30's making $150k as an IT manager. I have a few certs and heavily focus on project management/agile methodologies.
Because of this my management experience, I do private coaching on the side to help people who need to work their way up. I charge $100/hr for coaching services and am always in demand.
I also have worked as a consultant for small businesses who want to adopt and implement agile methods into their business.
Sometimes I feel sad when I think about, "what could have been"... maybe if I'd focused more in high school and college, taken my jobs more seriously, etc. On the other hand, I also have accepted I may only be where I am today because I had to struggle and live in the shit to appreciate the power of getting out of it.
You can do it anon, literally only thing holding you back is you and whatever preconceived notions have been put in your head by people who don't know you and what you are capable of.

bleak

Yes, being debt free, saving up fuck tons of money, working on a growing business, and living a self directed life is so bleak. Next time I'm traveling worry free and enjoying myself, I'll be sure to remember some 22 year old anon bag holding dog coins thinks it's "bleak".

Based. Plus, more money you earn means more money you can invest. Being able to throw $20k into an investment is a great feeling. Much less of a gamble. Banking on some dog coin to solve all your problems must be a terrible feeling.
