I mainly disagree here. I guess it depends on your definition of rich but in our current system the most likely way to amass a decent amount of wealth is to be a jobber. Following common investing/retirement advice. 65% of new businesses fail within 10 years of opening. Investing that much time/capital into something with a high likelihood of failure will set you back tremendously. And if you are following the well trodden path of the jobber starting early and being consistent is key.

A bad plan is a bad plan, regardless of what path you take. You can earn over $150k easily by working for someone else in some professions...by objective world and historical standards it would be hard to call that person "not rich". Its all relative.
Not for nothing either, but earning money irl isn't the whole purpose of life or a golden path to happiness...and it isn't in EQ either. Lots of folks find out the hard way that they've spent the first half of their life pursuing a lifestyle that they discover don't even want when/if they get their hands on it.
