So, my advice would be to either get some qualifications or certification on what you know to be desired skill sets that pay well.

Or find a startup and get some equity in return for a lesser wage. Risky but if it blows up you'll be set for life.

I've been dirt poor twice, once when I left school and once when I couldn't work because of health issues.

I've had over 30 different jobs in 30 years, I never stay if they don't promote me, and retired at 40, got bored and now have 4 different income streams from storage units I bought cheap, and 3 part time gigs in agtech that I take no wages for, just % of revenue

Just saying, it's never too late to pivot. Net zero is going to cost 100 trillion and most of that will be private investment in tech to mitigate climate change.

I love working in an industry that's trying to mitigate it, releaves me of existential dread and pays great.

I’m very intrigued by your comment because if I am reading it as you have written it, you retired at 40 and have worked for 30 years. I wonder what countries have 10 year olds as active parts of the workforce?

I’ll try your highly relatable advice on having multiple property investments and getting useful certifications instead of the useless ITIL, UX, Scrum Master, and WAS/WCAG certs I’ve got.

Take care!
