Hell, ther e are plenty of routes that let you make a lot of money
without even having to work that hard. Get into management in a very
large corporation, and you're going to make a *lot* of money. Even a
third-rate manager at a Fortune 500 company will end up as a millionaire
before age 40, if they keep an eye on their investments.
Most folks just don't want to take the time and effort, and expect to
get rich anyway.
