Is it luck? Hardwork and determination? Family status? What's the secret to the good life?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Hardwork, perserverance, luck, connections, charisma, and starting early. Seriously I'm a senior in HS, and there are some people you can tell will just never be wealthy, whereas others are already on the path to riches, thinking ahead, saving money, looking towards the future etc.
Good 'ol hard work is the least effective way of becoming rich.
Many rich people got their money through working smart, being vigilant, or getting lucky (or any combination thereof).
how are you defining rich?comp_atkinsAble to buy yachts/live in a mansion/make it rain and still pay for college for kids.
Hardwork and Ethic But mostly engineer related jobs wil get you rich.. It is hard though. No easy way to get rich which is what people in America don't understand. You are hugely dependent on what type of job/career you choose. But if you want to talk in general you need to work hard and be prepared for opportunities. You're lucky if you get opportunities but you need to be prepared for them.Is it luck? Hardwork and determination? Family status? What's the secret to the good life?

People in engineering careers may make the most in aggregate, but if the goal is to find the best chance to make a lot of money in a relatively short period of time, that opportunity is definitely found in high stakes finance/speculation/investment with some measure of leverage.
The trick is that you have to find ways to make money that others have not thought of. The people I know who are rich did it by coming up with very creative ways to provide service in exchange for money and more customers, sometimes skirting the law through some sort of loop hole. There is one thing they all have in common and that's that they are excellent communicators and are able to spot ways to make money that others can't. The unfortunate part is it is really hard to teach someone how to make money as a business person. You almost have to be a natural at it.
