They’re about 20 years too late to be doing that. Current clever-person play is to learn a solid manual trade, build good relationships with people in your community, make sure you’re directly connected to where the food comes from, travel if you can and make sure you’re familiar and have connections in a few different places in the world.
People who are today getting into CS and going into debt to get a Bachelor’s in it are in for a rude rude awakening if they observed that that would be the ticket to a comfortable life.
Can confirm. Finding a solid tradesman is a bitch (high demand, low supply) and they get paid well.
My plumber friends don't have time to eat they have so much work.
That's because high schools have been teaching that trades are for losers and college is for successful people for about 20+ years.
Mike Rowe comes to mind.
