Don't automatically laugh at or dismiss ideas you think are stupid. That's what stupid people do.

Hacker means many things. If someone submitted a story or tadpoles I would read it, because the intent may be the 'hack'.

I think many students fantasize a future for themselves and for many it is a safe, steady, well paid job in business. So they think 'business studies'.

Conclusion? A successful business may be all down to luck.

'Wealth', as in how many Yankee dollars you have is relative. I understand all the arguments about absolute wealth, and it is true that my parents (and I) are absolutely wealthier than 60 years ago.
