I’m at a point where I’m willing to commit completely to mastering one skill — even if it means sacrificing balance temporarily (long hours, minimal rest, limited social life).

I’m looking for skills where deep, obsessive focus can lead to an unshakable and sustainable future — financially, intellectually, or in terms of independence.

If you were starting over today with this mindset, what would you master? Bonus points for sharing books, lectures, or structured learning paths that helped you get there.

I am interested to learn or do MOOC's. First thing is I don't believe in paid courses/MOOC's/Books. Generally I use to audit courses in platforms like Coursera/Edx/NPTEL/MIT OCW. Second and my main dilemma is what to learn so that my career will be sustainable for the long run (make money peacefully). Also I don't think MBA in reputed colleges make sense, I feel its a myth. On some deep research, Data management stuff's was reasonable to me. However in current era everyone speaks about AI/GenAI (Which I don't like), sustainability, META, Blockchain, Everything cloud, Now 5G (later other G's)...etc. Technologies will be keep changing and continuous learning process through out the life is an opportunity not everyone gets. So my understanding was to get foundational learning at a free of cost and career experience should be the learning process.

Share your thoughts on your realization which foundational learning at a free of cost can help to get career that gives balanced life .....So that people will not rush towards hypes.....
