I would say that reading alot is a better sign.
I agree. I invest about $3,000/yr. in books for my trade and invest a lot of time in reading them. That is why my skill-set, and what I'm able to mentor into young men is much more valuable than an IT degree and/or certifications.
I make these young men start their own corporations, learn to file taxes at all levels, and learn the economics of business (i.e.: what exactly a balance sheet is used for).

We have a business incubator at Virginia Tech that does that. A Phd candidate will come up with a marketable idea. The incubator sets him up with a mentor team and set up an office for him. If the idea works out, they spin him off. It’s been wildly successful.

(If you aren't part of the solution, there is good money to be made prolonging the problem.)
