The majority of wealthy people get there by starting small businesses or slowly piling up investments via a consistently high income such that they have a surplus of capital coming in regularly (eg dentist, accountant, doctor, real-estate agent, software developer, psychologist, nurse practitioner, pharmacist, veterinarian, lawyer, and dozens of other higher paying careers).
Those aren't primarily luck, even though it obviously plays a role in every path.

- distances 5y agoDefinitely. I didn't know that I can earn well with programming when I chose CS for my Master's. I didn't know that in Uni either, and still didn't know that in my first job. I assumed it'll be the same as, say, electrical or chemistry major. Not really sure when that became apparent.
