You will help more people by trying to make money than you will by staying broke.
When you insist on “impact” you only virtue signal because learning the game is harder than saying you’re “choosing to make less to help people”.
You’re not helping more people. You’re just less skilled with an ego that prevents you from admitting it.
Whatever you do, don’t be the guy who gives up at the exact moment when you should be fighting with everything you have.
You’ll make it through either way, but there’s only one way you’ll look back and be proud of yourself.
It takes everyone a different amount of time to realize everyone is just thinking about themselves, no one was watching, and you should’ve just done whatever the fuck you wanted to all along.
