This is a big point to make. Working for someone else you are never going to make any real money. Sure you might get yourself into a position doing absolutely nothing for $50K - $70K a year. Not bad for a high school drop out (or even a college grad). But if you want to make $100K+ and especially if you are looking for something around 300K+, working for someone else is a fucking dead end.

Just about the only way you can pull off working for someone else while making 100K+ is to work from home and get innovative.
