The most valuable and impressive thing you can do is build a business. Hands down. Especially if it makes money. That will show you're not just a cog in the wheel but able to critically think and have valuable practical skillsets. I would experiment with something that has tailwinds.

The Nomad list has a FIRE calculator that used to be free and would list a bunch of cities all over the world and when/how much you would need to FIRE there based on your numbers. You need to sign up and pay a one time $90 fee now to access everything (I think like the top 10 places you could FIRE at this very moment/soonest) for free still though. It was really fun to play around and fantasize about retiring of I... Source: over 1 year ago
