The careers that are not worth if you want to be rich:
1. Lawyer: you will end up middle class or upper middle. You will spend every waking hour at the beck and call of clients. You will draw a salary equivalent to IT directors with no qualifications.
2. Auditor: Don't bother aiming for partner. The partner interviews are one-shot, you will only ever get that chance after at least 10 years of 9 to 5am.
3. Government roles unless you are superscale
The careers that are worth it:
1. Investment banking: 10+K with cash-raining bonuses to millions and millions
2. Private equity: millions and millions
3. Doctor: 15k to 500K a month (at the top). But the median doctors still outearn median lawyers by a mile.
4. Dentist: 30K a month
5. Management consultant: Maybe
6. Hedge fund manager
7. Tech-related roles.
8. CEO of your father's company.
The careers that you either make or break:
1. Start your own business. Chance of making millions and millions which most lawyers will never see in a lifetime or going bankrupt
2. Trader.
