That’s the perfect receipt to be permanently frustrated about how little money you make, and how much money others make. No matter if you are an operator or a CEO. The money that you make out of selling your time never tastes fulfilling. If you care about that, you should continue your education until you die. Not more degrees necessarily. But just more experience. You need to expose yourself to new things. You need to learn new things. And why? Just to have more options. Knowing every day more and more about less and less is also following the path of slavery. You limit the companies you can work for. You limit the positions you can work on.

You probably know the story. An Arab billionaire sends his son to study in London. Naturally, he buys him a gold-plated Ferrari. A few weeks later, the son calls home. “Dad, I have a problem.” “What is it, son? Do you need more money?” “No, Dad. It's embarrassing. All my friends go to university by Underground. I'm the only idiot arriving in a gold Ferrari.” His father goes silent. Then replies: “My son, you should have told me earlier. I'm sending you £300 million immediately. Buy yourself...
