"Try to major in something that pays." My advice to youngsters has always been, "Major in something that people cannot live without. The money will follow."
A slightly techie way to help old hardware accept the Win10 -> Win11 upgrade is to use "Rufus". Google it. I've upgraded all my Win10 instances to Win11 and they run just fine. My oldest laptop is from 2006 and is running Win11 without issues. Regular Windows Updates run okay, too.
I'm presently working with a burned out caregiver (sole caregiver the last 3+ years for husband with Alzheimer's). She's let her financial life ride on autopilot for over a year. She can't find her paper-based password list anymore. :(
Passkeys are good - infinitely better than passwords. The encryption gurus are well ahead of the curve and have devised new techniques that are quantum invulnerable (based on today's science).
