Not to nitpick, but you may yourself have missed the fact that ambition does not always translate to a high income. This is especially true in a third world country where a good percentage of rich people get to be that way by simply stealing money from the government
- gojomo 18y agoStealing via corruption takes ambition, too. Misdirected and unethical ambition, but ambition nonetheless.
- byrneseyeview 18y agoI disagree. In a first-world country, an ambitious person might claw his way up to being regional director of cardboard issues for the EPA, and could earn low six figures. In a third-world country, that same ambitious person would get to that same level of authority, with the same proportionate salary -- and would be earning many times that amount in bribes. Outside of Western countries, there are very few things an ambitious person could achieve that do not in some way translate into money.
