A friend of mine quit a salaried job and became a realtor. Yeah no one likes realtors, but I respect him for it because he took a chance and has done well for himself.
I left government and the security of a pension, etc. behind about 8 years ago. My kids were babies and I had a mortgage, blah blah blah. I made a pivot that most people here probably would never even think of making, even the tech bros in this thread, and I came out okay. The one person that I give props to is dark0821. At least he took a chance and learned something. I think these days a lot of people aren't willing to do what he did.

Yes people like you and Dark are baller as fuck, i respect that sort of gusto. But it requires either massive balls, or a secret backup contingency fund. Like in dark's case, im pretty sure his super rich ass mo would bail him out if shit ever hits the fan.
Not a lot of people have lifelines like that.
