I mean, yeah, that’s the American dream. I get six figures and work like maybe 3 hours a day on a busy day. When I was 16 I was washing dishes for $5 an hour and it was 8+ hours of constant, hard work, every fucking day
Yeah but in order to get a job like that your either need to be a nepo baby or you actually need to have a skill that is in demand enough to where it is cheaper to keep you around despite not squeezimg every minute of work.
And only way to get there is to spend some serious time on studying and working hard.

Naw, you just need a skill that’s in high demand with low amount of qualified or interested individuals. You had it right in the first half. I make decent money and learned everything on the job. I was just willing to do boring data and implementation work that others seem to shy away from.
Even then, you need to have 10+ years of workplace experience coming out of school. The standards have been lifted to nearly unattainable heights for things that people with less qualifications would’ve gotten 30 years ago.
Also, a lot of these skills now have to be maintained as everything is at constant change of development. So got to keep up. I am not sure if most people got mentla and emotional bandwidth for this sort of work but that’s one of the few things where you can get actually paid.
Trades is another but subject to different punishing conditions.
Either way, if you are a pleb, you gonna need to pick your poison and grind, but you ain’t got to be a class traitor doing it.
