Well if you go to "high paying low risk" on your tombstone will be written He lived the same year 70 times and called that a life. For a lot of people that is not their desire. So I think that there will always be supply of smart risk takers.
- alistairSH 7y agoCounter: A low-risk, high-reward career maximizes my ability balance work and life. I am pretty much guaranteed the ability to take a long, extravagant vacation every year, spend weekends in the mountains, maintain expensive hobbies, etc. High-risk, high-reward may be more fulfilling as a career, but the cost of failure is forgoing all those personal things. For those where work is life and life is work, the high-risk, high-reward career makes sense. For the rest of us, there's consulting or building CRUD.

At best they have nice things, but they do not have free time. They are low-risk careers, not low effort or low time-commitment careers.
