Luck helps, but having some perseverance and willingness to compromise helps too. Maybe that means taking a job in another state, or starting out in a field your not crazy about. You can stay there for a couple of years and then move up. Luck can never beat sloth and entitlement.
Interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence are things that often get brushed off as luck, but they're also very important. Being likeable will give you a big edge if you're competing for a position with someone otherwise equally qualified, and sometimes even more qualified than you. Being aware and capable of adjusting your social mask to fit the "culture" of your work environment can mean you're the one kept on when your department is downsizing. It makes people more inclined to offer opportunities, help out, and give you leeway if you make mistakes.

People who like to sit around all day crying on the internet lack these traits.

And you don't learn them by spending all of your waking hours either on Reddit, playing video games, doing drugs or masturbating.

People who put down other people's successes as "luck" usually ignore how much of it comes down to identifying opportunities and capitalizing on them, which are fundamental prerequisites of success. Unless you happen to stumble upon a winning lottery ticket; inherit your money; or obtain a ceremonial position through nepotism, all that "luck" does is open a door. You still have to notice it and put in the work to make use of it, because if you let it pass you by, someone else will just take it for themselves.

It's no surprise that people who make no effort to gain meaningful skills or put in more than the bare minimum of effort find few opportunities coming their way.

A bit off topic, but the sheer laziness of this comic infuriates me. It's the fucking same picture each panel with different text. Everything they did with the dinos could be just as easily accomplished with stick figures. I know low-effort strawman webcomics are nothing new, but hell this one got to me for some reason.

Well, this person believes that if you don't work for anything you could somehow "luck" yourself into a perfect career, so why try to put effort into anything?

The Alternet version also has some obnoxious commentary. Here are two comments from the same guy that I found particularly cringey:

I bet Chief Worksnomore there thinks the baskets came from some fruity craft store instead of, you know, women going out into the wild and gathering every bit of material necessary before spending lots of time weaving it into the correct shape for scooping up said fish. WTF are they teaching in underwater basket weaving these days?

I truly despise that people have gotten the notion that we can somehow get rid of work and then we can live fulfilled lives. Even if magically that automation would suddenly make all the work disappear (lol), it still would still lead to a society with great crime and drug use as we as human beings need purpose and without some degree of work, we tend to fall apart or just become needlessly indulgent.
