I think that would make for very depressing reading. It would be comparable to making a documentary about everybody who ever played the lottery. For the most part you'll see people that lost. Year after year after year. And then there would be the lottery winners. A couple of them.

The middle is quite narrow, it's good money for a relatively large number of people but it is still a very small fraction of the total number that 'went for it'.

Still, better to try and fail than never to have tried, worst case you'll learn more in 3 years than you'd otherwise learn in your whole career.
