is this a serious post?

  1. select a high-quality profession

yes, ignore "dream job", As you probably can tell, it never pays out 90% of the time.

  1. Go to said university that teaches that profession

  2. Graduate

  3. Get job

  4. spend the next 2-5 years earning a reputation

  5. work at whichever place you'd earn the most in

or

  1. learn a low-density high-demand job

  2. has to be one of labour, but not the ones that pay next to nothing

  3. truck driving is one example, 40k median, some get as much as 73k

  4. either continue down this road, or simply invest the money into something.

Your goal in life is to earn money, considering you don't have a briliant idea like facebook or Tesla, you're gonna have to settle with something that pays much less, unless you want to be adventurous. High risk can mean high reward, but it also means high chance of getting your life fucked.

I'd tread safely, spend 5% of my income becoming an investor, and the 95% would be spent on life necessities/family/etc.
