Tom’s Answer

The real question is what is your passion, aptitude, and what brings you joy. Science, math, engineering, but the question is not money but what gets you up every morning with energy/excitement to get to the office since if you don’t have this in your life it will become a long unhappy career. Every industry has peaks and valley so you will need to keep learning as the industry changes and challenges grow as technology continues to change. Remember to keep learning, never burn bridges when moving to another opportunity, and network continuously.
