                Steve Balmer was a co-founder. I think this also depends on what your definition of rich is.

                    You're always working for other people, unless you go digging for gold or someting.

                      if my net worth was in the BILLIONS, i'd gladly play 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th fiddle. Fuck, I'll sweep out the orchestra pit. Fame and glory is overrated, be rich and anonymous.

                        Lame.

                        Are you saying we'd even know who Steve Balmer was if he worked by himself?

                        And if someone got all technical on DJ's post, no one ever works alone. There's always someone to report to, be it a boss, consumer(s), business relationships, etc.

                              you know what i meant.

                              working for the man vs. running your own gig.

                                  Your point wasn't about striving to be #1 at what you do. You simply said employees can't be rich. The frustrations of people like Balmer are for another discussion.

                                    anyone could have made bank on goog stocks (particulary freelance stock investors)

                                            I think what is even more the case . . .

                                            If you work for other people, you'll never have control of your time.


                                            That's the thing I like most about being an entrepreneur. I work when I choose to. I play when I choose to. I sleep when I choose to. Having control of your life is even more valuable than any amount of money.

                                                people like that are 1 for every 10000

                                                they most probably would be very sucessfull on their own (if for some reason they didnt decide to work for others in the first place)

                                                  If you work for other people, you'll never have control of your time.


                                                  That's the thing I like most about being an entrepreneur. I work when I choose to. I play when I choose to. I sleep when I choose to. Having control of your life is even more valuable than any amount of money.

                                                    they most probably would be very sucessfull on their own (if for some reason they didnt decide to work for others in the first place)
                                                    Hey I agree with you for the most part, just didn't want to see this thread reach second page too fast

                                                        Doesn't this guy work for a company and not for himself...

                                                        if you work for other people, you'll never be rich.

People can be born into money and work for others... or win a substantial amount of money and keep their job. I know quite a few people who are well-off and keep their jobs just to have something to do.

                                                                              You can make investments. You can do all sorts of things to flip your money... however, if you live paycheck to paycheck and your job is limited as far as advances, chances are you'll never be rich

Fuck the money; it's deciding where you're going to be on any given day and whether to set your alarm clock that matters. If you don't have day-to-day control over those factors, you're just another fuckin' serf.

                                                                                            so did you tell Bill Gates this?

                                                                                            you bought into alot of bullshit.
                                                                                            how many times have you seen a big company go down the tubes and the president of the company gets the "golden parachute" for millions of dollars?
                                                                                            and what is his next move?
                                                                                            get a job at another big company, run it into the ground and get that golden parachute again.
                                                                                            they work for others but they know how to work the system.
