This is not just tech, it's life. Ever wonder why your plumber takes 2 weeks and $150/hr to summon, but aspiring actors are on every corner parsing your 12-word

This is not just tech, it's life. Ever wonder why your plumber takes 2 weeks and $150/hr to summon, but aspiring actors are on every corner parsing your 12-word coffee order for a thin fiver?
Macroeconomics is all around. :)
- kamaal 8y agoThe key to understanding this is to understand, that aspiring to work in lottery'ish professions pays less than, predictable well established career paths. There are only going be a dozen Tom Hanks and Chritian Bale in a country at any given time. If that is what you want to be you are going to have to settle for something way way lesser than even the normal after a few years, because you have no real skills, domain knowledge or experience compared to even the most ordinary of jobs out there. I think you are likely to live a good life if you understand that normal is how most millionaires are made. Also don't run behind points. YouTube likes, Instagram likes etc etc. Don't use imaginary internet proxy points to measure your value, worth, or the value/worth of your work.
