True. However, it is possible for a nobody like me to outperform even the Harvard MBA grads. Even if I don't get a raise for the next 20 years, I'll outperform their 20 year average of $3,233,000. Hard work and ambition is what it really comes down to. America is full of people who started with nothing and became well off. Let's hope it stays that way.
Indeed. I got my MBA from a state university 20 years ago and these numbers are not difficult, God willing and the creek don’t rise. And assuming I don’t chuck it all and become a bohemian artist. And so on.
Should I even point out that correlation is not causation?
