Investing in a career seems like a waste of time. Maybe in the past that was the ticket to the upper-middle class but now it just seems like an exercise in futility what with paper pushing jobs being dead due to AI and Indian outsourcing. Is starting a business the most effective way to become wealthy in 2025?

I'm going to try to become a commercial pilot and just do autism for a living

If I knew how to make money and be successful, I wouldn't be posting here. Try learning some stuff through AI, seems like it should be something good, I guess. I've taken online courses in microeconomics and it's not that difficult to understand. Apart from stuff like the numbers themselves, it's not that complicated. I'm able to do it and I'm a retard, you should be able to too.

If your IQ is over 120 and you're conscientious, you can get a job you love and make 600k/year minimum.
/Biz/ hates to hear this, because it's filled with minimum wage slave low-IQ social rejects. Their only recourse is gambling on digital penny stocks with animal memes on them.

Pretty easy with Law and Med as well as long as you don't settle for the easy way out of being associate-tier forever and aren't retarded with the business aspect of things

Okay well if you 'love' either of those things (and loved it so much you went to collage for it) I have no more to say to you.

>average midlevel software engineer salary in reality 60k
>average midlevel software engineer in big tech in reality 150k
>average software engineer on biz 600k starter, more like 1.5m after 3 years

it warms my cockles that everyone claims its so easy yet they themselves fail to do it.

like 90%+ of businesses fail so i doubt it dude
there are still people who are out there making like 300k-600k in total compensation at various companies. getting the right skills and a good job is still the most realistic path for most people

You are a DROOLING RETARD. Hey, DROOLING RETARD: I said that you need an IQ OVER 120. This is about a standard deviation away from average. Do you get that, DROOLING RETARD? Why are you posting average wages, RETARD?

Go easy on the man, its the best his "skilled tradie" brain can handle even though they like to think themselves not the same as the other blue collar slaves
