I for shure would not like to live in the past. I make a guess that 90% of the men would not like to live in the past.
I disagree with that statement, it highly depends on when and where in the past.
not true. I clearly remember thinking the same thing at about the same age. I recall driving home from work and wondering what the ppl did that lived in the big houses above the highway as I drove by because there was just no way in hell that I could have like that at that time and no idea how.
a master's degree will not hurt you. but it is no guarantee. I recall one of my gardeners before that had a PhD in physics, but not wise enough to turn those credentials into money. nice guy...
there are many many paths to good income that do not involve advanced school. i'll list a few, but others can tell even more.
- sales; any kind... Probably one of the highest-paid professions. (some... might require degree..)
- military (mustang..)
- software engineer... in many places ability trumps education.
- startup; just do your own business, buy and sell or ????
- startup; get a share for helping someone else do it.
- contractor; plumping, etc...
- long haul truck; your own... one or many
lists goes on and on... school is useful, but there are other ways. do school if you can, but if it doesn't work out there are other ways.
HTH.
Bro I know of others ways to make money haha I’m not that ignorant. I’ve got plan A, B, C, D, all the way to Z (well not quite THAT far but I know what I’m doing).
Thing is, I’m not looking to just work for all of eternity like that though. All of those jobs require you to hustle and work like crazy and basically make it your life in order to really ‘make it’ which I’m just not down with. I want to have the work-life balance and actually enjoy my youth, I don’t want to destroy my body while I’m young and work so much to where I no longer know how to do anything else aside from work. So many people I’ve seen don’t have a personality outside of work and the usual formalities, and then they wonder why their wives cheat on them. Like you’re never home, you don’t know how to have fun because work is all you know, and your opinions and world view are narrow-minded as absolute ****—of course your relationship is doomed to fail.
Times have evolved, they’ve changed. Now you’ve got to make a lot of money while also having a lot of free time on your hands too, and you have to be cultured enough to know a lot about various other things so as to not be boring, while also having a lot of different hobbies too. And I think it goes without saying, having great game and being in great physical shape (esp by weightlifting; being able to carry her and manhandle her is more important to women than being able to run 10 miles straight) is a must. And this doesn’t even scratch the surface of how you have to be able to understand things in light of whatever the current sociocultural climate is (basically meaning that you have to understand what the current [social, cultural] trends are on social media).
You’ve got to be a Chad in looks and a Gigachad in the game of life. That’s if you want a happy and successful marriage/relationship going long-term or possibly “till death do us part”. You’ll probably die early having to maintain all of this, but who the hell even wants to live that long anyway lmao
But like I was saying, not all of these actually make a ton of money. Most wont put you in the millions in gross earnings that quickly. Saying you “make a 6-figure salary” is bull**** because all that means is you make a little over 100k, whereas most people who make +500k are gonna frame it differently lol. I want to be making 200k minimum without having to work a whole lot, and I know how I’m going to do it (I have an idea anyway; I’m not worried about the specifics just yet though because things can change, and it’s a long ways away [at least 5 years, likely more] before I’ll ever have to implement any of it).
