Peon wants a life....

Hi everybody,
Bear with me here.........
This is totally off topic..
But i was wondering what all the rich people on here do for a living that they can own such awesome vehicles.
I am trying to figure out what i want to do when i grow up so i could someday be able to afford some of these sweet rides.
I am 21 and still havent figured it out but i really dont want to work at the peon factory job im at now forever.Pm me or post..
Thanks

Choose something that you are truly passionate about. Something you REALLY enjoy. Do it to the best of your ability. Work long, hard and smart at it. The money will follow.

Architect/Builder with lots of passion. Best advice is to manager your career so that you are financially sucessful; it does not happen by chance and takes hard work.

+1 on all of the above...I'm in medical administration. Like some of the examples of the professions above you don't necessarily have to have the traditional doctor/lawyer/financier degree. I've seen many vocational professions (electrician, plumber, mechanic, etc...) have nice rides...BUT they bust their **** and are great at what they do...you can't get past the hard work part.

Also, drive what you can afford...as my income grew...the more car I could afford. It sucks to drive a nice ride and worry about affording gas or a repair bill.

Hard work is important, but smart work is better. Find your passion, don't worry so much about the money or cars or whatever. All that will align itself once you find what you're looking for...good luck.

Passion + Purpose = Payday!

So the best of the above
1.something of interest
2.dont screw around...ie hard work
3.work smart
4.find the opportunity

Cars are nice but start thinking personal jet.

Import/Export for me

Good luck @ 30 I still don't know what I want to do.
