There are easier ways to get rich? For Stanford Graduates, maybe. For those who don't have a degree in an ultra-paying job, I'd really like to know an easier way.
I'm usually sceptical about start-up chances, I know how much work it means, and I know that a lot of early-stage employees get rich, too. Yet, I don't think you can get rich this fast/easy with a modest degree... Even as early-stage employee often you'll still get a raw deal or you overestimate their chances of success.
- tim333 12y agoI think some fairly average people become millionaires along the lines of manage a McDonnald's for a bit, get finance to have your own one, expand to have 2 or 3 at which point you'd likely be worth $1m+
- bayesianhorse 12y agoSo I don't know how McDonnalds works exactly, but you would either need the capital to buy (borrow etc) a restaurant or you would have to be chosen to run a restaurant. Meaning you have very high-paying abilities. And in some sense, growing a franchise-taking enterprise could be technically called a start up even if not particularly innovative!
