Everyone gets opportunities that come their way as long as they put themselves out there and try new things. It may not seem like much, going to a single meeting, and throwing it on your resume, but it's a door to an opportunity that you opened yourself.
This is how luck works. Someone who steps out of their comfort zone is going to receive more attention and opportunities than someone who plays it safe. To give a quick quick example, a certain anonymous racist weab underwater basketweaving imageboard is a GOLDMINE for learning about investing. People were literally being minted millionaires every year from there and yet I never had a clue about this because I only perused one board, the videogame. All of this wealth of information was just 1 click away. Literally. It took me falling into a trap of desperation and wanting to change my life and boom, made that click. 2 years later and I nearly have a half million dollar portfolio solely thanks to that site.
So accept the opportunities that come to you with open arms, and just as you shouldn't feel jealous of those seemingly doing better than you, don't feel guilty for those who seemingly are doing worse off than you. Everyone will have their opportunity to shine.
should I just look up investing on the basket weaving site? I'm getting slaughtered and I hate myself because I go to reddit and they're all well.... you know.
