Develop a skill that employers demand. Generally, the more skilled and the more specialized, the more money. You can get the skills through a vocational program, college, or on the job training. However, no matter how you train, you will need to gain experience to go with that training before you will make the big bucks. 
There are exceptions, of course, but that's the path that 99% of successful people take.

How come ostriches become dramatically more dangerous and irate the further they move from sea level? >

Is this a real thing? If so, this is my question, too. >

If you are asking, unironically, about "birds aren't real", it's a conspiracy myth that some college students started in order to sell branded merchandise, mostly t-shirts. They claimed that all the "birds" are actually government surveillance drones. A few years ago they publicly admitted that they made it all up to sell t-shirts but there are still thousands (at least) of ardent believers. >

I meant about ostriches being more/less aggressive at different elevations, but this is fun, too! :-) >

If you're growing weary of the human race then Reddit or any social app is not the place to be lol >

LOL - Unfortunately, this weariness comes from interacting with the people around me, not the internet. This place brings comfort because it reminds us that we are not alone in our suffering. :) >

This isn't an unpopular opinion its just common sense you wouldn't give medical advice to someone over a medical situation you know nothing about (unless you're stupid) >

It is a very unpopular opinion when shared with the entitled boomers that insist they know what youth should do to earn a living wage. >

So you're using a generalisation to back up your point? That doesn't make it an unpopular opinion that makes it a popular opinion for one and two it doesn't even back up your opinion at all it's directly goes against it actually. Most of those "entitled boomers" have years worth of experience and knowledge to give it just sounds like you don't like the advice you were given so you came to reddit to cast your voice about it. >

The point is not their years of experience, the point is that they began their careers in a different era. If you do now, what they did then, your odds of success are not good.
