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?

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

, 3 bags of $3 dollar concrete $10 worth of labor = $481 profit. Its a tough life. :)

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.")

Uh huh. And these are the guys buying the $10,000 watches and the luxury foreign cars. Totally the opposite of their parents who worked hard in ordinary businesses and actually created wealth.

And they can jump into politics.

God forbid! I can, I suppose, see in some remote why a father would like his child to become an accountant. But why would anyone want their kid to become a politician?

I do my own books, next year I'm doing my taxes, I ran a turbotax on line this year after my accountant did my taxes, it came out about the same.

Well the really smart ones would of Jewed me down, and spent their time making money instead of pouring concrete. :)
