I know there's a huge difference between programming and computer science. I bet there's at least as large a gulf between business and what they teach in business school. When I was in college one of the people I got to know was a guy who started with a paper route in junior high school and by the time he became college freshman he had several houses he was renting out. He cleared enough from rent to cover the mortgage and build up the downpayment for the next house. The guy worked hard, was smart with money, damn humble (he was the one who cleaned the houses between tenants himself even though he could have afforded to hire people to do it). No question in my mind that guy went on to be a multi-millionaire. Also, if you do a venture with a guy like that and it fails, you know he put everything he had into it. There was nothing slick about him. He was not a networker in the least. But he treated everyone with respect, and got along well with just about everyone. He was a natural born businessman and entrepreneur.... who knew how to "Stack up money" as you put it! Show me a business guy like that, and this code monkey will take notice.
