It's focus. The earlier you come to a focus on what you like to do, and what you do well, then you will move forward quickly. To some extent, you are always competing with your own age group throughout your employment years. So jump-start is one important way.

How do you focus? You have suggested that making a lot of money is a high priority. But money is a tool, not a goal. What do you want to do with the money you make? Shouldn't that be included in your decision as to how to go about getting it? I mean, depending on what you want to do with it, perhaps that's the WAY to go about getting it.

For example, anyone who has a hobby that they really get into, would really like to do very well, has a potential career in their hands. Because any hobby has its professional side. And if you gain focus while you are still very young, even very obscure branches of collecting and craftsmanship and the like are very lucrative if you go into selling your designs and your knowledge and expertise.

In the world of collecting, probably half of all the collectors in the world dream of being dealers someday. The ones who gather the information about the really good specimens long before they can afford to gather the specimens themselves very much are well positioned when they spot a special bargain at a show. You sell off the extras and duplicates and out-of-focus purchases in the process of refining your collection due to the knowledge you gather. And then, when the time comes, you are at first a part-time dealer and then a full-time dealer, and involved in what you love all day long.

In the same way, craftsmanship is rewarded, sometimes very handsomely indeed, by developing a focus of what materials serve your creative purposes, and refining design and execution until you can win competitive shows, and can make a profit exhibiting your works.

Get to the point where you can create all winter and cruise the art fairs and tourist shows as much of the summer as you feel like, hanging out with people who share your interests who come from all over. Who knows, you could forget all about investments and stocks and being wealthy. Some of them even get wealthy, and go right on going to shows and having a great time.

Of course, if the lifestyle that draws you is that of the jet set wealthy, you have to ask yourself why? Because that's what's depicted in the movies and on TV? It may be that you are really dreaming of working in the industry of making those illusions for others. You do know they are illusions, don't you? That's not the way real people live, really.

Some upper management types do in fact conduct a lot of business in social settings, and create an atmosphere where the ability to dress well and move in cultured circles matters a lot. But do remember that there are many ways to approach any dream you may have.

My point is think about how you want to be living, in detail, and it will reveal how you want to be making your living.
