[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smart people - in the DC sense - are risk adverse. [/quote] This is it. They don’t have entrepreneurial spirits. [/quote] Yeah, I think most book smart people lack the risk tolerance necessary to become very rich. Most rich people in the US own or owned a business instead of steadily climbing a well defined path. Lots here would be surprised what a busy HVAC contractor can take home each year (it’s similar to a biglaw partner, but much better lifestyle). [/quote] You call going into 160F attic to fix AC "better lifestyle"....really? Its hard, dirty work.....but yes like most blue collar jobs, they can make a good living. [/quote] The guy who owns the company is no longer doing that kind of work. That’s what the employees are there for. [/quote]
