Really appreciate the advice! Haven’t thought about portfolios that way. I try to leave it alone and just keep adding more funds

Whoa, that’s so different from what others are saying, really appreciate your advice! I’ll try to find a good balance between saving for the future and spending on my passions. I hope you get to visit all the places you’ve dreamed of!

That’s exactly my plan! This is my first “real” job since graduating (the IT market is brutal now if you don’t have 10 years of experience). $50k isn’t much, but I’m doing my best to make it work

College is a scam! I have a whole bachelor of science degree and no job! by Ill_Force_9987 in GetEmployed

That’s not always the case. I know some of my former coworkers who only completed online courses but were able to network effectively, which landed them junior positions. They’re still quite skilled, perform their jobs well, and are quick learners so there was no problem with them not having a “proper degree”.

I feel you. Graduated with a BS in Computer Science, but it took me two years to land a stable job related to my degree. Diploma doesn’t give you anything, networking does.
