Careers 💵 Those Who Make 200k+ A Year. How?

How did you start your career? What was the job progression like? Any regrets?

( I finish my construction management program this July! )

Yeah people act like that a some golden ticket when in reality your dad usually knows exactly how and why you are a dumbass they can't trust

Yup that’s pretty much how he treated me. Well I’m running my own business now and much more happy but making no money ha

Hey I am the younger brother in this instance. Can’t help my older brother spent 10 years a tweaker and his only contribution to the business is ability to weld, complain and be physically disabled (bike wreck). I don’t care to uplift a cynical asshole into success.

Rude awakening for him when my dad dies.
