Bold to assume that someone managing daddy's nonprofit foundation is happier and more fulfilled than someone fixing and selling bikes for a living.

  At a big electronics hardware company a group of us EEs would talk about our dream of owning a bike shop almost every day.

    Does a bike shop owner make comparable money to an EE in a large company? How about medical insurance for themselves and the family? As a bike shop owner, what do you do when a customer brings clearly a stolen bike? It's nice to theorize about an idyllic life if you only think about the idyllic surface of it, from inside of a less idyllic but better-off life.

      It wouldn't surprise me if some bike shops are clearing over a million dollars in sales a year if they're good.

        Maybe in revenue? Nobody running a bike shop is rich.
