There is a difference between an Electronics Engineer and an Electronics Mechanic. Ask @JScott.
I didn't shit on him to him, I let him be proud. I just quoted him here.
This is one of the things I respect the most about respect MJ.
He doesn't hard sell his philosophy. He shares his views as authentically and honestly as he can and lets "the chips fall where they may".
That's why I gravitated to this forum and bought his second book.
His approach reminds me of the quote: "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."
He mentions in his interviews that he doesn't believe entrepreneurship is for everyone. I agree.
The problem I see in @jon.a 's story is if his shipmate's pursuit was predicated on the assumption that being promoted was the only way to increase income.
Why is that a problem? Like MJ has stated, planning your financial strategy around HOPE and TIME is very dangerous.
If the shipmate wished to become an Electronics Engineer for non-financial reasons such as a sense of purpose, mastery of his craft, status in the hierarchy, etc. I don't see any reason to pity him - he deserves congratulations.
I didn't shit on him to him, I let him be proud. I just quoted him here.
I respectfully disagree.
You're projecting your own perceptions of happiness and success onto people you don't know or haven't even met.
He's gonna regret it based on what evidence? Based on the fact that if you were in his position you'd regret it?
Everyone views the world in different ways.
Imagine someone coming up to you and saying being an entrepreneur is stupid, you need to grow up and get a job, you're gonna regret it ten years from now, etc. How would you feel?
Let other people live man lol
