To what extent is this accurate?
(lemmy.ml)
So I'm 20 and I've started looking at the salaries of jobs/careers, and this is the impression I've gotten. Like that you could spend years cramming a ton of knowledge about a very niche field, and still only get 2-3x what a run-of-the-mill job makes. Is this true? If yes then I guess this route to wealth would only make sense (due to the diminishing returns) if the topic truly spoke to you, right? Are there alternative career paths to good pay than being really good at something really specific?
I actually just got told something similar. In a resume was listed, "over 10 years of leadership/management experience" and the recruiter reviewed it and said, "i don't care. I can find 20 other people within two minutes who have 10+ years of experience. Tell me what the skills are."
Tenure in a position means very little. Every year is a diminished return of value.
