Sounds to me like you're unhappy with your personal life. I would suggest to focus on finding more ways to date women (e.g. dating websites, tinder, etc) and maximizing that first. Try to understand why women are not in to you, it might be because how you behave.
The first thing you should figure out is what you want to do in life, what you want to be and to achieve. Then, you will need to build a path towards there. If you plan on getting to financial independence, you need to plan it wisely.
The first option is to build a business. Some options are very safe but most are not, so it would be hard to find the right opportunity there. It is possible (I did it) but it's hard. By the way, if you don't want to do things that require front-end, you can do things like a paid API service or things like that.
The second option is to maximize salary by becoming a rare asset. Special skilled workers can bill 2k/day, putting you at around a 500k annual salary, even for doing things like front-end development. What you need to do to get there is to acquire skills that are considered to be in high demand right now in the market (e.g. front-end development, DevOps) and they don't ask you if you have a masters degree or not.
The third option is to become an executive, and that requires strategic thinking, and mainly showing your organization that they can trust on you. Plus - being super extra friendly to everyone would help.
- milkytron 10y ago> being super extra friendly to everyone would help. This is a good idea no matter what your motive. As long as you don't take it to the point of appearing fake, or using your niceness to use or manipulate someone. Be genuine, and be nice. And I agree about the women comment. Get out there and meet people, ask people out. If things don't go the way you'd like, you can always ask in an honest manner what the issue was, with the intent to use that feedback to improve yourself.
