To what extent is this accurate?
(lemmy.ml)
So I'm 20 and I've started looking at the salaries of jobs/careers, and this is the impression I've gotten. Like that you could spend years cramming a ton of knowledge about a very niche field, and still only get 2-3x what a run-of-the-mill job makes. Is this true? If yes then I guess this route to wealth would only make sense (due to the diminishing returns) if the topic truly spoke to you, right? Are there alternative career paths to good pay than being really good at something really specific?
Thank you for telling me this
You're right! These kinds of jobs were the ones I was initially looking at (the cliche that engineers make good money is true but you're right, the diminishing returns do start to kick in)
