There is still money to be made - you just have to know how to do it, where to get it and be able to roll with the changes in the world, industry and stand your ground - and no you don't have to steal it, that just doesn't work in the big picture - just go out and be the best HONEST guy you can be and things always work out as they should.
Be yourself - all of those others you mentioned, that's been done - be who YOU are. lol
