I’m a 42y/o Venezuelan, I had my own company back home renting heavy machinery, when the cty went communist I lost it all and had to flee to the usa with 100$ in my pocket, I worked my way up from construction work to be a Global market analyst for a major financial firm, making what I thought was crazy money (it still is for me) 65k a year,lol, I’m the firm I met folks from the eng. team and learn they were making over 170k a year with only boothcamps and that blew my mind, it took me down back to reality that you can’t sleep on your success! He pointed me to your channel and again man wow I feel so small on a professional level. And I thank you for that, I needed to wake up again and push forward and make the jump into tech!! Hell I started as serving coffee for analyst in Morgan Stanley and work my ass up to a sr analyst in 2 years. I know I can make my way into tech with the info you provided. You are doing god work guiding people to a better life. Gracias

You're absolutely right. Education and skill development are crucial for personal and professional growth, regardless of background. It's an ongoing journey to prioritize education and ensure equal access to opportunities for all individuals. Together, we can work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society.
