And btw, I was a bartender many years ago. I earned more in 4 months of partying and carousing with the customers than my annual income for my first 5 years with a “real job”.

Nobody believes that tending bar is the path to wealth and prosperity.

You’re putting words in my mouth. I never said tending bar was a path to riches.
I simply was attempting to illustrate that it took me several years out in the business world before I was able to earn what I did as a young, inexperienced, and non-degreed bartender.
