    At no point did I say it was man. Just not something most people have access to. “Got to have money to make it” painfully true as usual. I have $234 in my wallet, a late 90s Honda to crash in, and sheer force of will to try and change that (it’s not working lol). The 32GB/1080ti example is the nicest computer any of my friends own, my own rig is a scavenged parts pile centered around a 10th gen i7 that will be complete when some ram falls into my lap and right now I’m posting from a phone that was $150 6 years ago.

      You know, that’s fair. Most people do not need a rig like mine. I would still be using my 8 year old computer if my new clients data wasn’t so sensitive that I have to run local inference.

      As someone who was also broke and lived in an old Honda, I know what you’re going through and I’ve been there. If you truly want to change your outcome, you gotta find a job that has high growth potential and a low barrier for entry. Personally I worked at a bank for almost a decade. Started as a teller(low barrier,no college needed), ended as a regional manager(high growth). I hated every minute of it. But it gave me a chance to save up and find a career I enjoy.

      Good luck my dude. You will be successful. I believe in you.
