7 figures means 1 million or higher.

Where I’m from that is a bit absurd to make. You would need to own a really big factor that supplies Europe with x product. I don’t think I’ll be earning this salary anytime soon unless I decide to literally cut out every piece of joy out of my life and focus on the entrepreneurial side of my career long term. I think aiming for half of that would just be right for me and allow me to become very wealthy making smart decisions I could turn that into 10s of millions in wealth over the course of my life.

I am supposed to be getting married this year and I am sinking financially.

I was an Advanced EMT working in public safety many years ago, until I got into some trouble and lost my license due to 2 misdemeanor convictions (stemming from same incident; never having been in trouble before)

I switched careers into the tech industry and worked as a software developer for 4 years. Sadly, the job market in tech has been destroyed.

Sadly, despite being highly skilled and capable, I feel like I am going to have to settle. Even my mom is rather disappointed that I am considering truck driving, when she said I "could have been a doctor" but those damn misdemeanors from long ago are holding me back.

I am going to truck driving school, and they are lining it up to where I can at least have my wedding. But afterwards, I will be away from home for about a year, only being able to have a few days off every few weeks.

Although, I have the potential of making up to $1,500 a week. I was making $76k/yr at my cozy remote web developer job, but as I said, my industry has been wrecked.

Hello all.

I finished high school at 18 like everyone else with above average marks. I wanted to go to art school and become an animator. However life did not turn out the way I wanted. Due to various personal reasons which I don't want to disclose here, I was not able to go to art school and later ended up as a hikikomori (recluse).

However I did not want to remain living in the dark and watch everyone else succeed. Hence when things sorta improved in my life I tried to give another attempt to follow my artistic passion. At 25 I started drawing once again. It almost felt like learning from scratch as I had never drawn since I was 18. However as I started to draw once again a wave of nostalgia hit me. It felt as if the carefree high school kid in me was alive once again. I felt a type of happiness I had never felt in years. I knew I was on the right track!

I kept improving my art and after few months joined a 2 years diploma course in animation. It felt too late to go for a 4 years course in an art school even though they teach more in depth over there. I graduate in another year as I am already half way in. If things does go as planned and I do get a foot in the door in let's say an animation studio, I will be 28 then. Does it feel too old? Anyone else here who started their career at a later stage?
