Everyone has. Especially if you want to work, there is always the choice to do what you like. Most people do not dare this, but you really can and if you realize how short this whole gimmick here on earth is, you will damn well do what you like and work hard on that. You’ll live longer too if you do what you like instead of repetitive stuff you don’t like.

Tom; it is not about money IMHO; most people are not happy in their job or even their life, especially when they get older. I have no numbers here, but I am willing to bet that that is not the 5% talked about here; people studying, reading, learning and generally hard workers, but not over-workers, are very happy people. Anyone with a brain would give up more payment for that.

I would (and do) personally advice anyone (starters and seniors) who are in the 5% group to start their own company. It gives you back so much more than money. And money too :)
