There’s always opportunity.

But that’s like asking someone in the lower middle class to offshore their money, make LLCs, and invest in failed businesses on the premise of turning them around for a profit. None of that makes sense. It’s far too high a risk. Too much of the average person’s capital is just wrapped up in daily costs.

Opportunity has a cost, and that cost is too high for the vast majority of people.

Although we can’t know if you just let opportunity walk right by you and you ignored it or judged it. No one is obliged to slap you in your face with it or hand it to you on a silver platter with your exact order in mind.

I’ve known too many people who turned down a job while they felt they were inexperienced/oversold their experience for the pay rate/ had many reservations(besides pay) about the job over innocuous things like they didn’t like equal opportunities and kept comparing themselves as too good for everyone else. Or refused to go in on entry level when they had no experience to begin with. Or purposely price themselves out of what a client can afford. …and while they dawdled the job gets given to the next candidate and then they complain they can’t find a job or ‘someone is stealing their jerbs’

Not finding a job and not taking a job aren't the same thing.

Chances are: opportunities are more frequent than a person using common sense

It's rare for someone to just hand you an opportunity. You have to go find them.
