Thanks for the link, Ryan.

Congratulations on being able to carve out your own path to success. Most people don’t figure that out so early.

I’m certainly not against following your dreams, but most people don’t know what they want to do when they graduate. And if you don’t know, you might as well be making some money while you figure it out

In any case, you’ve got a great blog going here. I’m now subscribed.

“the resources and infrastructure are now in place so that anyone, anywhere, with enough passion, can do exactly what they want and still hit 6 figures within a few years.”

This might just be the biggest line of bullshit I’ve read all month. Please stop talking out your ass just to post something more than a link. Otherwise, back up what you’re saying with examples, data, facts, anything. Without some cold hard facts, you’re just blowing smoke up people’s asses and foolishly giving college graduates false hope. The plain and simple fact is that the vast majority of American salaries are $75k or under, per Wikipedia. What “infrastructure” and “resources” are you talking about? Most industries pay six figures only to their most experienced and highly skilled employees.

So, you’re saying that your HVAC guy is doing “exactly what [he] wants”? Your comment supports my point of view more than his — I doubt your HVAC guy is “living his dream.” The point is that what you WANT to do is probably not what’s going to net you the big money. That’s why all the “good” jobs that people want pay so little — tons of demand, so they can get away with paying next to nothing.
