Yeah I did pretty much the same but my point is some people can’t just “go to school” lol. Most of the people I went to HS with were working jobs in HS and had to go full time after just to help the fam

you literally made a thread saying "It’s not that hard to get a six figure job" and really expected no one to ask you about YOUR career

You are welcome

and so that can't lead to success? if anything people with those kind of stories are the ones that others want to support

Sure it can, but your “formula” doesn’t really account for that. A lot of people can’t just drop everything and go to school for 4 years

You are welcome

because i don't have to tell you my personal story to explain to you how it's possible

1. Pick a field that you enjoy even 50%

2. Stick in that field for a while, take ownership of activities in the field

3. Build a portfolio or find someone to invest in you

that's the generic template

so now let's take it in the context of becoming a restaurateur

1. begin working small time line cook type positions, basic prep work, get better over a 6 month period,

2. move up the kitchen, by the mid of year 1 begin the specialize in something specific or begin to find a solid voice within the field (might take longer)

3. Find a potential enterprise and either hop in or start your own, find a restaurant that wants to take off and hop in as a driving force, invest in that force with time and see if the returns are worthwhile, regardless you're only going to gain more skills which could lead to a greater likelihood of more success down the road

keep the process moving, eventually you might own something of your own or have a strong enough voice to have others put their value into you

no one asked for a personal story
a job title would have sufficed

It’s not that hard to get a six figure job, sometimes you don’t even have to go to college !

not having a 6 figure job does not mean u suck at life. there are more important and fulfilling things in life than a job that pays well

i had a friend who had no father growing up

we went to the same public high school, he graduated with a very good GPA, but couldn't afford college

instead he spent two years at community college and then transferred to a 4 year public college and graduated with some debt, but not as much as most idiots

now he works as a software developer and likely makes close to 6 figures

well then those people don't complain good for them

but a ton of people complain cause they don't have money to live the life they want, they are very much capable of achieving it
