I always get a chuckle out of people with nothing in their sigs or profiles claiming to have been in this industry for 10-11 years, made millions and no one knows who they are or what they do. That's funny.
I just recently (yesterday) added a sig to my account. My profile is still empty and will stay that way. I have had three high-powered CPAs managing my finances since '02. Of course I use business banking as well as an ongoing payroll service and Quickbooks in the studio. I've been incorporated since '03. Haven't had a website since sometime in '05 I think. Lot's of people "know" me from this board, but that's about it. I don't advertise anywhere. Been in the graphics biz since '97.

And I do quite well.

The stereotype you laid out is not universal.
