I always think any industry can make good money if you are good and able to deliver your goods and services in a smarter, faster and good manner.
I think I need some time to convince my wife too...

Well, everyone talks about starting a cafe or an internet business (that includes me and my wife), but there's a certain learning curve involved. If you don't know how & where to start, you will be just throwing money away as "tuition fees".
I heard from my uncle in renovation that there are so many youngsters who pooled money to start pubs and cafes, and subsequently just failed within months. A few hundred K's down the drain (well, actually the money went to landlords and reno contractors.)
It's so easy to say: to make money, start a business cos it's scalable; but actually doing it and making it succeed is a whole different matter. To many people, it's much much easier to just work for someone, even if there's a risk, perceived or otherwise, of getting retrenched and unemployable in their forties.
