It isn’t. It is, though, a handy metric for judging how useful that which you produce is to others.
Success in life has little to do with money. (Don't roll your eyes, I'm agnostic)
Candidate One answer: Eight.
Boss to candidate Two: What's four plus four?
Candidate Two answer: Whatever you want it to be.
Boss to Candidate Two: You're hired!
You have my deepest sympathy, having been there. Sometimes getting concepts into the little snowflakes skulls requires a very large hammer.
Or failure - that also tends to work.
my son was fond of saying he didn't care about money....he put no thought into a career or what college classes he should take...subsequently, he is now going back for a second major just so he can actually find work...his communications degree didn't get him very far.....
you try to tell them but they just don't listen first time around...
Bump for later

That depends on your definition of success.
Success in business = make a good profit.
Success in marriage = give 100%, spouse does the same.
Success in parenting = teach your kids character, good worth ethic, etc.
You can have money without success, and you can have success without money.

Lots of people, maybe most people, don’t define success by money. On the other hand organizations to exist must cover their costs.
Did you get the sense this student failed to understand that organizations must cover their costs to exist?
Lou,
you should really start your own blog to record your stream of consciousness writings, you’ve been posting stream of conscious stuff like this thread on FR for years, some of it good, some bad, a few incredible and a few horrible.
In the end though, lot of this stuff is bar room or social club conversation, it’s not real interesting to the 10,000 people who have to scroll through the Articles tab each day.
You’re back in Uni after many years, congrats on that, remember you are there for just your own education, don’t be afraid to choice your timing carefully and let another student have it in front of the class when they start tangents into the obtuse.
Keep in mind that if you go into tangents in the other direction in those calsses you could have other people who are paying for class time on their own dime thinking you’re wasting their time too.
LOL! Now there’s a face-palm moment!
