Hello everyone, finally decided to post my introduction as well as ask for some advice. Took me awhile as I spent a lot of time reading all the threads/info on here (really helpful stuff btw). I am from Singapore, 25 years old this year. I have been working as a software engineer for almost a year. I am also studying in university taking a degree in computing.
Here are my issues:​
  1. The pay is pretty bad (~$2.7k/month), and the progression is quite slow (3 years before I can get a pay increment)
  2. I need to make more money (Goal was to make 10k/month by EOY)
  3. My work is extremely boring and unfulfilling, its really chill but I don't feel like i'm really pushing myself or improving, I feel like i'm wasting my potential every day there.
  4. I don't even really like software engineering it was just the only job that accepted me at the time
  5. I think software engineering will be dead/dying soon due to the rise of AI
  6. I see people my age or younger on YouTube making insane amounts of money, which is making me feel left out at my slow-lane 9-5 job.
  7. I want to start my own business/be an entrepreneur, but I don't really have any good ideas.

I am interested in crypto trading (honestly pretty much gambling), but I currently don't have enough capital to throw into trading (lost quite a bit recently). So I figured the next best thing was to do sales, as I heard the earning potential was high and I was interested in sales a few years back but never got the opportunity. Specifically tech sales, since I am already in the IT/Tech industry. My quesiton is, what would you do in my situation? Should I quit my job, drop out of uni and just go all in on sales? Is 10k/month by EOY even realistic? Hope to get some advice thanks!
