Well, that's on the person themselves to manage. If you're bad with money you're going to have a tough time building wealth whether you make $50k/year or $500k/year.

A reliable nursing job for 40 years and you can't save enough and invest properly, that's on you.

I know a lot of nurses with absolutely insane retirement plans and that's on top of what they've earned through their careers. More than any tech and engineering people I know, that's for sure.

A reliable, high-paying job is the first part of wealth creation for most people. I know a nurse who's done insane for her family who'll inherit a fortune because she knew what she was doing.
Tbh, some of the wealthiest people I've meet have been:
Traditional Engineers and/or Smart Nurses.

The newer breed of nurses I've met seem more concerned with living a certain lifestyle which is why
they pursued the career (big starting salaries that kinda plateau early) and seem to be more concerned
with lifestyle than wealth building.

My former lead is 36? Over half a million-dollar stock portfolio .
I've met several engineers who did the math and just decided to cut expenses and invest heavily
early on. So they'll most likely be millionaires at around the age 40 mark.

Everybody who doesn’t do automation in IT will eventually be jobles. I helped develop the automation project for my company. Eventually they’ll scrap our shyt and outsource the projects to Kumar and Wang. After that the AI will be controlling the AI.. time to go learn Mojo

Management told us early this year. The plan was to use a combination of AI, automation and cheap outsourced labor.

We had to document every single job duty or process. And then pass that info to the workers overseas. Basically a complete knowledge dump was required for all high end jobs.

I quit instead.
:yeshrug:
Who wants to stick around and help them outsource my job?

As a man thats the most bold thing to do.

They‘ll tell the next suitor that so and so was contentious and showed micro aggressive tendencies ..

Believe it or not, LinkedIn has become like dating apps. You have to pay in order for you to be easily found. My friend was getting no hits until he started paying.
Even if you find a decent job on LinkedIn. So many people are applying the company stops accepting applications after the first hundred or so people.

Yep that's who is training it. I'd be surprised if Indians arent favorited a bit too
I think a ton of Indians overseas get hired via word of mouth. The hiring process over there is completely different than in the states.

The time it took to hire one person on our team in the US. The company would hire 20 or 30 people in India. You would be amazed how quickly companies can increase headcount overseas it's machine like. By the time US layoffs get announced all their replacements have been onboarded in India already.
