True, but those things are achievable for “normal” people without having loads of money to begin with…well, maybe less so in the US where education is so expensive compared to other places.
All accept experience. How are you supposed to get experience if you need to have experience to get a job to get experience? Of course the trick apparently is to just be living a lie and actually have experience already (Which of course everybody already knows and so doesn’t question it).
That doesn’t seem particularly applicable to the vast majority of the population though.
Yep and that’s what it boils down to. Most of us don’t have the fortune to have even grown up in a household where education was pushed or followed up on, or gone to schools that are worth a damn. Im fortunate that my single mother did try and push education with my brothers and I but she was stretched thing having to provide and could never give us the proper tools to really strive. Can’t blame her, life sucks. All in all we ended up fairly well compared to peers or extended family. Still not even at the level this guy got to in his experiment.
Yeah, and programming skills are available to most people. Except some people will take to it like a fish and some will struggle. Also, you have to have already learned it… You don’t learn those skills without the right environment and a predisposition
Making $64k as a salesman is a very achievable goal already, if you have that talent you don’t even have to work hard
He got a job at a call center and hustled for the rest - he basically just worked two $35k jobs… Anyone in reasonable health can do that, you just have to sacrifice everything else (including your health, both mental and physical)

The problem being that there is always a pretty significant portion of the people that aren’t “normal” and it’s usually not their fault
