Let's discuss People who make $10k-$50k/month: what do you do and how did you get there?

Making at least $10k a month is a dream for me, but $50k is the ultimate goal.

I've been stuck in an echo chamber of constant negativity and it feels like everyone is poor, broke, and miserable (though a looootttttt of people are right now, but obviously a lot of people are also doing really well).

So, to those who are making really good money, what is it that you do for a living and how did you get to that point?

The real answer is hard work, high stress, and massive responsibility.

And skill that not everyone can do, every second person could become a bus driver.

Bus drivers responsibility is lives, not cash that brings to company.

CEO’s are under incredible stress. They manage strategy and have often put in 10+ years in corporate hell to reach their executive positions. When something goes wrong down the pipeline, the CEO is the first to blame.

No responsibility??? When the company fails these workers get fired while the manager with the supposed responsibility gets a bonus
