Accounting and law are NOT dull? LOL.

My point was that most of those people make their wealth running ordinary businesses, not working as professionals. Why would they encourage their children to become lawyers?

I look at it and told him he could fix it himself for very little, he said, I don't do that sort of thing, he asked how much, I said $500, he said do it, he had a wash out in between the wall and his concrete drive, 3 bags of $3 dollar concrete $10 worth of labor = $481 profit. Its a tough life. :)

Beautiful! ;o)

Cause that's where the easy money and power are. And they can jump into politics.

Nto everyone is comfortable doing all kinds of things, no matter how "easy" they seem to be. You don't do your own taxes and books, right?

Of course, your point that the rich are easier to get money from is true. There is often an inverse relationship between street smarts and money. (i.e. "more money than brain cells.")

I think that was a % of the group, not all would do so.
