If you’re in your 20s, I’m going to tell you an uncomfortable truth: chasing salary instead of skills is how people get stuck early.
Yes, I understand that when there's no money, it feels like you have no choice but to chase after whatever amount you can get at the expense of learning because you have bills to pay. I truly understand that. But don’t let that put you in a box.
Your 20s is not the season to play safe. It’s the time to stretch yourself. Say yes to roles that challenge you. Work with people who make you think harder. Get uncomfortable. Learn how to solve real problems, lead people, and think strategically.
The money will come, and when it does, it’ll come bigger if your skills are solid.
Skills compound. They open doors, build confidence, and increase your long-term value.
Build skill equity now. It pays dividends for the rest of your life.
