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?
The problem is you're comparing labor to labor. Try owning property, that graph has exponential growth with no cieling, you know, like cancer.
You have a point, I guess I forgot to consider Playing The Game. And yeah, investing something off the side does sound like a good idea.
