The 'weekend' is not enough time to switch a career.

A university undergrad takes 1460 days.

With 100 weekend days a year it would take 14 years to achieve that. That's assuming you don't take a single day off for 14 years.

You're gaslighting the poor dude.

I mean what's better? To say "Well if you try you might get what you want..." or to go, "Yeah you're right it's hopeless and you are stuck..."

But...I'm not saying either of those things. Both are extreme positions. If you read my original post, I'm looking for a company that can take me on and help me get to that next level while I work for them (aka "investing in its people"). They exist, but the barriers to entry are tricky to navigate, hence why I asked for advice from someone in the field.

Sweeping ideas about blanket positivity are not practical solutions, so the previous comment (and, by extension, yours) are pretty unhelpful.
