Sadly, I learned that too late, but fortunately, It was how I got into programming.

      coding is different from other fields in that you really have to be all-in, learn everything, practice all the time to keep your skill up.
      its not like going to college to be a teacher. you just gotta know the stuff. most colleges dont prepare you well for an overall career. - ya gotta do that in your offtime, outside of class. Or even before you go to college.

      @@scorch4299 and that is the most stressful thing if you consider it properly. For your career, HIGH salary, you need to be doing what 99% are not. Missing out on people, parties, good social life... That's more of a life of a loner actually. I was i guess wtih a group one time, i've enojoyed is way more than being alone and it's harding pushing onward, but sometimes you level up with a company and sometimes alone. like at one point it becomes just so sad because you are literally sacrificing days months and years of your life to be able to make a living and be happy financially, that you dont realize there is more to life than just working. Travelling is a huge stress reliever imo, calms mind and soul, making friends and going all out on travels -with hard earned money makes it worth it tho. Better than spending out miserable days working for low income salaries live pay check to paycheck.
      anyway, the hardest part is optimizing your every day and routine. make it fun, make it enjoyable, anything you learn or advance on it, market it, promote yourself with it, get even higher earning jobs, open side business with someone who is willing to put in the hours and needs capital, be partners, after awhile quit the jobs, work on employing people to make money for you, travel, enjoy, get laid, order a cocktail, put your legs on the table and relax boss

    Sounds like you've had quite myriad of Interesting experiences, never would've have thought from watching your videos. I've come across the channel via some of satirical clips that were trending, and never seen those early coding videos.
    Love the fact that you acknowledge luck as factor in your success (multiple times), not to diminish the importance of hard work of course. So few people even mention luck as if it would somehow belittle their intellectural capabilities. Even though everyone knows, for every opportunity we got in life, there were probably 10 other people who worked just as hard (if not harder) and just as qualified and perhaps more deserving as we would be, but somehow the wind was blowing in the right direction for us.
    Love the new pivot with the channel, keep up the good work!

      I'll be *that pedantic comment people hate* and point out that: Not everyone is born with the same inclinations, tendencies, intelligence etc. BUT do not mistake "self" with "what I like and don't like" or "how I behave for the last year". You might be depressed, but depression is not "you". There are also periods in life where you may be more open to new things than normally. Explore more, what you put in your brain shapes your personality and character.
      People make the mistake of thinking that their mood, taste, likes and dislikes are immutable throughout their life, and think that what they want to do now will stay the same. What we're fundamentally are is our biological makeup. The fact that this gets shaped through our experience is proof that it's more malleable than you think. And it keeps changing even past your 50's. But you're still yourself.

More so, once the pandemic happen a shift happened for everyone and things they had went away. School, Work, Car, College ect. In addition, working at odd jobs just to keep the bills paid and humbling your self to find individuals to help you while you’re struggling helps you understand different people and how they can help you find what you really want in life. Lastly, like you mentioned in the video jobs that you’re not really interested in somehow tied to the job or jobs that interest you by working really hard at learning it and asking God for guidance and understanding for the next chapter in life.
