While second-guessing her choice, she reflected on the appeal of structured corporate or academic roles but critiqued them as “thankless.” She highlighted the sacrifices of stability: “These talented people are part of someone else’s vision… Their work might win someone else fame and wealth.”
Zara celebrated the autonomy her new career offers, noting she’s no longer bound by the pressures of academia or corporate expectations. “Anything I make will be completely my own. I’m building my own brand and future,” she declared. Within a short time, Zara earned over $1 million, helping her family pay off a mortgage and purchase a car. She’s now planning to buy a house and expand her investment portfolio.
