What can make you Rich starting from nothing in 2025 in 5 years??

[inyerta]

Assume you start from nothing, living with poor parents, and you’re poor yourself. What can you do to become rich in 2025? I get the impression that all niches are already full.

Bitcoin – in decline since the AI hype. It’s mainstream now.

Influencing/YouTube/Tiktok – oversaturated. It’s not like in the beginning when YouTubers and influencers formed. Now there’s huge competition. People watch mainstream channels with 5M+ subscribers, and to even get 100 000 subs you have to be ultra-niche and fight for attention.

IT / Tech jobs – dead. Huge unemployment, similar to art majors. It was the promised land around COVID, but now it’s done. Layoffs everywhere, insane competition, ridiculous recruitment processes, deadlines, and global competition with offshoring.

Dropshipping / e-commerce – dead. It’s the most cliché answer when you search “how to make money online.”

Vinted / Etsy – mainstream, possible to earn money but it’s basically pennies.

Tutoring (online / offline) – also pennies.

Apps / SaaS / iOS / Android – you invest months building an app, but end up with 0 revenue because nobody downloads it. Market oversaturated. Everyone codes now, app stores are flooded with thousands of calendar apps, fitness apps, diet apps everything already exists.

expensive dog breeding – possible but very niche, my landlord don’t allow me to keep dogs


Books on Wattpad – oversaturated. Some people got rich writing books 5+ years ago, but now it’s hard to break in and promote.

Substack – not that profitable. Niches are filled, and all the traffic goes to people who started early.

Roblox games – already mainstream and niche is filled.

honestly, I don’t know what’s left. It feels like everyone I know who’s rich either:

was born with capital, or

got into a niche early (like YouTube, influencing, real estate, created their app

Back when property was still cheap, people could afford to buy apartments, then just sit and watch their value grow. They made money renting them out or running Airbnbs. Same with beauty salons and similar businesses.

What niche in 2025 can actually make you a lot of money?

Heh nice gpt u fucking loser

I disagree with IT/Tech jobs being impossible and not high paying. Yes the competition is stiff but specialized roles in Al, cybersecurity, devops infrastructure are still pulling median salaries over $120K-$170K and demand in those areas is still holding strong. It's only tuff for people in the vanilla web developer space. @Glorious King and I have cracked high paying jobs just this year . You just need to be a cut above the rest.

On the SaaS side the market's already exploding to nearly $300 billion this year. Just this year there were hundreds of billionaires that came up due to the AI bubble. ConvertKit hitting $25M+ ARR or classics like Basecamp and Kajabi. @SplashJuice

Anything involving AI will get you rich now. A ChatGPT wrapper will make you millions on the app store.
AI is such a buzzword, especially to older people. They hear AI and throw all of their money into the product.

This is the kind of motivation i need, are you in America now or still in india?

 

[Jason Voorhees]

I feel now this has slowed down. It did use to be like that in 2024 and 2025 with VCs foaming at their mouth every time they heard the word AI now. Investors are more selective now. And we are seeing a shift to agentic Al feels spot. moving from passive generative tools to autonomous agents that can reason, plan, and execute tasks on their own

The still a lot of money's being flown into Al overall. That isn't slowint any time soon but it's concentrating on infrastructure and proven applications rather than pure speculation. I feel in 2026 we'll see agentic Al really hit mainstream

Do you have any information on hardware engineering?

I'm studying electrical engineering in 2nd year but I was thinking about switching to comp sci because hardware engineering (what I want to get into later) looks like it needs Masters+ to even get in. I want to get into AI if i were to switch to comp sci but from what I see right now apparently the market is cooked

AI and ML scientists are making a bank rn but it also needs a masters and sometimes even PhD but there are paths in Al engineering, pipelines, or applied roles that you could take if you want to go into AI but sticking with electrical engineering is also fine as VLSI demand is booming because of Al @imontheloose

Yep, CS is oversaturated with degree holders because most a lot of them have no skills, actual niche skills are still in demand. skills + networking > paper
