Say you did the stupid thing and went for a liberal arts degree. You had to climb the corporate ladder and didn't make it past 120k.

But you know that if you go into certain fields (programming, nursing, engineering) you can reach 200k easily.

What's the oldest age you can make the shift and which career would make the most sense?

I come from a family of programmers. They all love their jobs but they also were into it when they were kids. My dad still programs for fun and he is retired. Programming is more a calling than a job. You have to like it to enjoy your job.

Nursing is more a job than a calling imo.

So it just depends on if you like coding or not. Id think nursing is much easier to do if you are lazy.

Programming is one of the easiest careers to have if you’re just “bleh” about it. It’s the application of logic. Just sit in a hole and build shit. Nursing actually requires a nurturing personality and lots of face-to-face interaction

I know several successful programmers who did not program as kids and started out in their 20's. One of them had a full career at age 25 and taught himself Python at that age and created his own start-up.

I really laugh at those idiots who claim that "only if you programmed as a kid you can ever program, it is a 'calling'" LOL.

That’s a different pumo, I’m also not “back office”. I work at a software products company writing code 100% of the time

Also “most of the guys in the bay” did not go to Stanford/UCB. You understand why that’s impossible right

Apply to be a Finance and Insurance sales guy at a car dealership. These guys often clear $200k and it’s easy as hell.

People have already bought the car. They’re forced to sit with you while you help them figure out financing and tell them to buy extended maintenance plans. You get big commissions.
