136/ Is this EXACTLY the path you'll take? No. I knew how to code, maybe you don't (tho I've learned several new languages over 5 yrs, and you can too). Will you make EXACTLY the same cash I did? No. Maybe more, maybe less. Is this GUARANTEED to work?

148/ Had someone in my DMs say "your thread doesn't address the systemic problems with student loans / it acts as if student loan situation is acceptable". 1) No, college /student loans are terrible 2) but...you can't fix that. My thread is about what YOU can do with YOUR life

149/ It's useless to bitch and moan about how the system is rigged. (Is it rigged? YES! But is bitching about that going to help? NO!) I don't give "advice" about globohomo, the Cathedral, student loans, etc., bc there is no advice other than "accept reality as it is".

151/ If someone tells you "yeah, there's a lot of national debt, and the frogs are gay, and the women are all whores" ... well ... what exactly are you supposed to DO with that? If someone tells you "if you work a side gig you can buy a house", we both know EXACTLY what you do.

152/ Also, if you want someone to tell you those things, there are many channels that will do so. I'm not saying that globohomo doesn't exist, that the Cathedral is good, or whatever. I'm just saying "GIVEN THE WORLD AS IT IS (which is the only scenario you get), DO X NOT Y".

154/ If your life is on the path you want, keep at it. If it isn't, brainstorm your NEXT STEP and do it today. ONWARD!

It sucks, but getting expectations *set* is vital. You can't live the high life on 30k starting programmer salary in the Midwest. Took me ten years to get remote work, owning a home etc. But I didn't have to kill myself. Just plug away a little at a time and go far.
