Instead they work for someone else, trade stocks/bonds on their own and are very good at what they do and enjoy it (read get paid well for their skills).I also know people who never have worked for someone else and make as much money as a doctor would at 30, running their own company, with zero debt or college education.Personally I’m somewhere in the middle.
