A job that forces you to be in, you know, downtown l a is
Speaker 1
not going to be nearly as good as a fit for you is a job that’s in,
Speaker 2
you know, bolder colorado, or as fully remote, so you can live,

as you get better, you get more options. Ore people want your services. You can, you can, you can trade your cur capital, you know, for different types of projects. It’s ou know, if you become an excellent computer programmor, you have more options. Lo
