im in my 30's. born 1984 so im elder millennial.
here's how i did it:
- grew up east side, dirt poor. drove a sentra XE
- Took huge 50k student loan. Worked 2 jobs while doing useless degree.
- Invested said student loan into GM stock before bailout (i knew they were gonna get bailed out, how can they let GM fail?)
- Took the earnings from that stock play to pay off my student loan and down payment on house (it was only 500k in 2008 for our place in richmond)
- Worked a whole bunch of shit jobs, sold computer parts at ANITEC computers for 6 bucks an hour, worked as a teller at the bank, etc
- I eventually landed a job as a conductor then worked up my way up. then hopped over to the ports
- CN/CP still hiring conductors today.
