Isn't most ppl the same? Bogged down by family at 30s and later, even if bbfa, as one aged, definitely will be slower to pick up new stuff. However, capitalist society expect us to be better in all areas as one become older

yeah and then as your salary and age increase, and your ability to put more effort and time at work decreases due to family commitments, the company will start looking at younger folks with lesser pay.

worse is if your skillset and experience are not as valued or are quite easy to find in many job seekers.

Life itself is largely dependent on  luck

i agree, luck plays a huge part. who you meet (that can help you), who your boss is, the company you work in, the department you are in... all play a role in how you do in life.

and you cannot choose a lot of those things.

you may not be very good at what you do, but if you are under the right boss or company you may just do very well.

Hmm i like that u admit to this.

Many people feel its their capability and whatnot but thats not the only factor. Even for billionaires a lot are due to luck and opportunity.

Of course need to learn things and make right decisions etc. But in absence of luck, which includes benefactors incl parents and how smart u are, ur circle of friends etc... more than likely will just be avg or even below avg because moving up is way harder than moving down

I went to master they say my life lack fire. And if do biz must do related with fire, like food, entertainment, teaching, oil, gas, electricity... even internet and computing they consider somewhat as fire.

They also say other things related to my current path

But last time Cs not well paid, iron bowl thou

Now is well paid, work life balance etc but no longer iron rice bowl. Many contract based

I'm no expert but sg is too focused on degree and white collar jobs. In the end too many degree mills and low paying white collar jobs and totally disregarding blue collar jobs which imo is also impt
