E141 | How a Gas Station Cook Went from Frying Chicken to Software Engineer–Danny Thompson
Manage episode 356570056 series 3252769
Where he came from, only people with PhDs become software engineers. In high school, Danny Thompson wanted to be a garbage man. He grew up in the hood so he thought that the best job he could get would be a Union job. At 30 he worked at a gas station frying chicken but wanted a change. He was married and by the time he had kids, he realized $400/week wasn’t enough anymore. But he didn’t know what to do.
Listen in as Danny tells Jonaed how a rapper he saw on TV changed the trajectory of his life and how he now earns over $200,000 per year.
