I would get into a good trade. You're not going to get rich like Elon Musk, but if you have your own trade business you and your family will basically be set for life: - A comfortable existence (trades pay enough to live on) - Don't have to live in megacities if you don't want to (trades are needed in cities of all sizes and won't be subject to outsourcing) - It's actually possible to reach mastery in a trade without the trade fundamentally shifting every 5 years (unlike the tech industry) - Similarly, most trades have been around for 50-3000 years, so you don't need to worry about whether your job will exist in a few years - If you teach your children the trade and/or bring them into the business, they won't need to get a bunch of student loans to get a career - You get to move around and don't need to stare at glowing rectangles all day - I've always wanted a nice cargo van. "Rich" to me is more about lifestyle and peace-of-mind than it is about numbers in a bank account. If what you really care about is just numbers in a bank account, the "easiest" way is to pick a tech niche (Salesforce, blockchain, SEO, eCommerce, etc.), relentlessly promote yourself all over the place, really ride that niche into the ground, and don't get sick of the problem domain after a few years.
