Getting rich isn't that hard. Just be born in America or Europe, most careers will afford a comfortable lifestyle. If you want to be richer than that, study engineering or business. Your average businessman does math at the 8th grade level.
Getting famous also isn't that hard. Do something funny or creative and post it on TikTok, it's not that hard to get a video with 1e5 or 1e6 views. Hell, you can post cute videos of your pet and get 1e6 views.
- sschueller 4y agoYou may be rich compared to someone in the poorest of nations but you can still be struggling to get by while working 3 jobs. Getting an engineering degree is also not that easy and for example in the US you will be jailed by huge dept for the rest of your life.
- triceratops 4y ago> you will be jailed by huge dept for the rest of your life. Even $100k in student debt is not that huge on an engineer's salary. People regularly take on multiples of that debt to buy a house. "rest of your life" is an absurd exaggeration - and I'm saying this as someone who thinks the deck is totally stacked against students today.
- tristor 4y agoAlso, you don't need an engineering degree to get a job in tech as long as you're lucky enough to be born in the West to start with. Things like MIT Open Courseware and similar programs have made it possibly to learn everything needed to know in order to get and excel in a tech job for nearly free. There is absolutely no need to be "jailed by huge debt". Being born in the West is pretty much required though because decks are stacked hard against immigrants.
