[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm not broke because of the divorce... We were always struggling to keep our heads above water. My ex has the same problem as me, except he has even more education than I do (BA + MS + JD). He works as a regulatory affairs manager at a non-profit and makes 95K.

Whoever guessed I came from a poor background was spot-on; I have no family money, I have like two friends who even have college degrees, and none of my friends make more than 80K. I don't know how people get rich or climb up the ladder at all (hence I posted this question out of curiosity/hope for inspiration!).

What is the difference between being a technical expert vs. a technical product manager? I was a technical product manager for an EHR company a long time ago; I worked with the account management team to troubleshoot tech issues, the sales team to up-sell clients, and the engineering team to create new products. However, I only made 83K (to be fair, I was only a few years out of school at the time), so I'm not sure how I would even translate that experience into being a tech expert, as some have suggested.

I made decent money as a 1099 contractor, but the income was never steady (it was feast or famine all the time... like $100/hr vs. $25/hr) and we needed health insurance.
