:damn: damn, are you serious when you say within 5-7 yrs in IT someone can makes 6 figures? :whew: if thats the case I will be grinding like my life depended on it

It's all about how bad you want it man...

I look at IT the same way athletes coming up in the hood look at sports and nikkas like Curren$y look at rap. The boy Nas said it best on "Reach Out" Ft. Mary J. Blidge...

"I like to teach and build,
With brothers about how easy it is to reach a mil,
All you need is a skill,
and then it’s grindtime
"

Everyday I'm practicing and learning so my skills can be elite level. I grind day in and day out because this the shyt I love to do. This my life! Dog you gotta be willing to dedicate yourself to this shyt and I mean like 30 hours or more of practice/study per week. The same way Kobe and Bron work on that jumpshot, you need to working on your skills! You finally got your foot in the door, now take flight my nikka :salute:

I'm at 9 years right now. I hit 6 figures at around 6 or 7 years in (can't remember). You can probably do it faster if you're motivated and focused.

Soon you will have 6 dimes.....I only have 2 right now

How can I forget about the 6 dimes :blessed:

That's how I look at it too. If you a hustler and you have an entrepreneurial spirit, 50k/mo is definitely possible. I have so many ideas running around in my head to make bread it's crazy :wow:

Soon as I finish my CCIE, I'm getting on my hustle hard :birdman:

Anyone in Michigan or Ohio looking for something new... holla at me.... I might have something. Anyway need help with anything software dev related... holla at me.

Oh yeah, and a good path is to .... learn java or c#/asp Then get a LinkedIn, do some small projects... then do some contracts... then get a great job. 50+hr 100K +


My younger brother is on the networking side... That seems tough to me, but he says it's the easy thing in the world.. and you just have to get cisco certs.
