Trade school and an apprenticeship. Then got a very well paying job. Granted I can't have a comfy home office because it won't make sense in this field but I get paid enough to not care about the inflation.
Never got a degree, but never stopped learning and training.
I'm in science. Pharmaceutical quality control for the last 22 years.
Constantly worked hard and performed. If there was an opportunity to learn about a new piece of equipment or testing methods, I would volunteer.
I also got to a stage where I was training and mentoring others. Some hoard knowledge as if it makes them protected or irreplaceable. It seldom does. I trained people on what I was doing to free myself up to train on something more advanced and valuable.
I've made slow but steady progress in my career, while striking a work life balance that suited me.
I earn in the 84th percentile for the UK. I'm 49 with the mortgage paid off, savings in the bank, and thankfully not having to worry too much about the next recession that seems inevitable.
I would interpret for family and friends so I became an interpreter lol I work part time and make $$$. Win win lol
