I'm at crossroads. I have no idea which path I should take career-wise, so I came here for advice. Which career path would lead to the most success (in terms of either money or fame)?
Path 1:
I'm already pretty good at programming and hacking. It's something that I've been learning since a very young age. Should I become a very, very good programmer and hacker by learning more and more about it each day, all day long, and working on my programming portfolio? And then complete high-paying programming requests, write exploits (which pay a lot), and shit like that? Ultimately, after years, if not decades, save up, and maybe start a cybersecurity business, or a video game development business.
PS: I'm pursuing a computer science degree, regardless of the path I will take.
Path 2:
I have been diagnosed with autism, as well as "hypermnesia" - a savant memory ability. I have some outstanding abilities in memory, mental arithmetic, and language acquisition. To give you an idea: I can divide up to hundreds of decimal places, and memorize hundreds of digits and other objects in minutes. Should I work on these skills even more, learn lots of languages, etc., and try to market myself on YouTube and in other places, and consequently make lots of money off it (via sponsorships, ads, personal website sales, etc.)?
Which path should I take? Which one would you choose if you were me?
