do I get a refund if I spend a grand and I'm still not convinced? at some point I'm going to start lying to myself to justify the cost and I don't know how much y'all earn but $1k is getting close

Would you ask for a refund from a university class if you didn’t get a job or skill from it? Investing in a potential skill is a risk and carries an opportunity cost, that’s part of what makes it a risk

No one is forcing you to improve. If you don’t want to invest in yourself that is fine, you’ll just be left behind.
