[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have talked about it but it's difficult because neither are drawn toward money-making careers. They also see how some of these careers are incredibly stressful and can have poor quality of life. [/quote] This x 1000. My brother in law is a 7+ figure a year finance guy. He went to a no name undergrad school, not even in top 300. But started in finance right after HS through a family friend. He learned hands on and showed great aptitude. He has several series licenses and have worked at 3 of the top 6 US banking institutions, two at very senior levels. Long story short, he’s decided life’s too short. he’s retiring this year at 43. The stress, the relentlessness of it all makes it impossible to enjoy life and the money. He’s children are not following in his footsteps and he’s not encouraging it. He is allowing them to do whatever the hell makes them happy. He’s a great guy who knows how to manage his ego.[/quote]
