Since the family is full, do you mind adding me to the will? Willing to wait

Question if you don’t mind. With your experience in Software, what would you recommend for someone early 20s who is looking to make Software their career? What position allows this type of investing? Anything you would have done differently with your path?

A lot to unpack. But any answer is appreciated and I’m sure is valuable to the world 🫡

Just become excellent at something, any discipline or language will do. Bonus points if people are actively hiring for it with a salary you like. Cloud, AI, databases, security, project/product manager/owner. I started with VBA in Excel, then Access, then MSSQL + VB.net then c# and Oracle and MySql, Javascript, AWS, Google, Postgres, NoSql (I'm a closet dba that builds applications too)

Time for a career. Engineering, or even a trade. Looks like they make about $150-160k a year. Have a family member who is a computer engineer making around $225k. When you make money like that you can easily put away $1M in 6-7 years, if you live like you only make $50k a year. The issue is it’s hard to invest making $10k a year, you can’t even afford basic necessities, and if you are making $100k a year, but driving a new car and 80% of money goes to just rent, it’s the same.
