But off topic but has anyone turned it around later in life?
I'm doing "ok" (22 years old, NW of approx 1mil, very strong medical student) but nothing more and I'd really like to reach the level these girls are on. I think the greatest issues are my mindset, people skills and finally lack of valuable skills, in academic shit I can beat almost anyone and I'd say I have the raw intelligence to reach their level, I just don't have the confidence, drive or people skills.
My people skills are rapidly getting better with age (my childhood was awful and before I cut contact with family was very awkward) but my drive/self confidence just isn't there. For example I've got a few ideas I'd like to give a try but I keep telling myself it will never work, not to bother and to stick with crypto and various brain-dead internet businesses. I can just never motivate myself to do something real.
Career is obviously a complete dead end and I should have done programming or something much more scalable, although I certainly want to work as a doctor even though it would basically be a hobby.
There's also the issue of my citizenship, moving to the USA would obviously make things much easier but an eb5 (golden visa) would use the vast majority of my money up, and if I went the USMLE route I wouldn't be allowed income streams outside of employment.
I just feel like I've left it too late to work on myself enough to hit 8-9 figures in my late twenties. Has anyone else turned it around from mediocrity?
