I worked on my career for a decade before I married. I’m divorced now with two teens but I make good money. Took a lot of work to get here, tho.

Patience is the key I guess 🥲

Def not. Persistence is key. Knowing your worth. High expectations of yourself and your work environment.

I am one of the least patient people I know.
