Young people always love to complain that their background determines everything, as if the barriers between social classes are impregnable. But think carefully—if you are 25 this year, the next ten years are actually the best window for a comeback. Going from a monthly salary of five or six thousand to a net worth of tens of millions (A8.5 level) may seem like a fairy tale, but there are traces to follow. I have summarized four relatively reliable promotion paths and will analyze them one by one.



**Path 1: The Ladder Rise of Technical Elites**
Assuming you graduated from a 985 university with a major in Computer Science or AI, entering the core departments of top tech companies is not difficult. Use 3 to 5 years to push towards P8 or equivalent positions, then spend another 5 years building connections and resources. Including salary accumulation, equity gains, and rational investment strategies over these years, the probability of reaching over ten million in ten years is quite feasible.

**Path 2: Rapid Accumulation in Sales**
A prestigious school background is not essential; what truly matters is strong communication and execution skills. Focus on high-ticket fields like insurance or luxury real estate sales. I know an insurance agent who speaks clearly and can talk for an hour without repetition. In 6 years, he became a regional director leading a team of hundreds, with annual commissions exceeding one million. Reaching tens of millions in ten years is not a dream.

**Path 3: Content Entrepreneurship for Growth**
Refine your expertise into something that can be commercialized. For example, a funny creator I know grew from 100,000 to 200,000 followers in a year. Single ad deals can reach nearly six figures, and after deducting costs, annual income can start at several million. Those with technical skills can focus on pain points in the AI tools market, creating small but refined systems or applications, and still accumulate considerable wealth.

**Path 4: Long-term Gains in the Secondary Market**
This is the most mentally demanding but has the greatest potential. AI is an industrial revolution-level opportunity of this era, and the stock market hides many 20x growth opportunities. Use industry knowledge to select targets, just like those who dared to heavily invest in certain chip giants 20 years ago or believed in a certain brewing company 10 years ago. Opportunities in un爆发的AI concept stocks are still brewing. Super apps haven't fully landed yet, and there’s still time.

**The core logic is actually very simple**
Amplify your existing advantages and repeatedly focus on a niche track. Most people's difficulties are not due to IQ but because they think about it but never take real action. If you're confused, first position yourself in the most suitable track, then learn, review, and iterate. Wealth doesn’t come overnight, but ten years are enough to change a person’s trajectory. Choice is greater than brute force; as long as the direction is right, persistence will do. Opportunities are always there—it's up to you whether you dare to move forward. $BTC $ETH $SOL These assets follow the same logic—find your growth curve, and time will give you the answer.
BTC-0.05%
ETH-0.18%
SOL1.52%

To be honest, I believe in paths one, two, and three, but about path four... Wait, are you hinting that I should All In on a certain AI concept stock? Haha

Basically, you still need to find what you're good at, don't just think about it without taking action.

Another motivational article titled "Ten Years and Millions Are Not a Dream." I finished this bowl of chicken soup with a smile and then drank a bowl of soul-crushing chicken soup. Sounds nice, but aren't those who truly dare to go all-in on AI concept stocks just getting wiped out like chives? Wait, Path 1's 985 computer science directly jumps to P8? Bro, are you telling a story or telling a joke?

Honestly, Path 2 is the most cutthroat for harvesting retail investors. I've heard too many insurance sales pitches. They all sound convincing, but the key is that most people really can't follow through. AI concept stocks are still riding the hype; only when applications are actually implemented will it count. The technical route is indeed stable, but the 985 threshold is right here; not everyone starts at the same point. Content creation carries the greatest risk—nine out of ten creators fail; don't just focus on the one who makes it.

It sounds good, but most people haven't even taken the first step.
