That's why they can never be entrepreneurs, unless they go sell nasi lemak haha (I remember reading in ST one trader who quit his 5-figure job to sell nasi lemak and have a laptop at his stall to do trading).

Many tycoons, towkays and small time businessmen (but with net worth more than a typical ibanker or trader) actually started their careers working in SMEs.

Bottom line: There are many ways to be rich. But working for others forever most likely won't take you there.
