If you go into med, specialise and go into your own private practice - doing the occasional emergency work at a hospital, you can earn upwards of 500,000 easily after insurance but before tax. But that is after 10+ years of study.

500 000 sounds pretty sweet.
my dad does business with a man who specialised in his chosen medical field.
earns like 400 000 from that, but invests a majority.

and each year his income is more like 1.6 million.

thats crazy.

Yeah that's nuts, but just remember it's a fuck load of work to specialise in medicine, I think my Dad spent something like 14 years at uni to get all his qualifications, he has 19 letters after his name now i think it is lol

I can study whatever i want, so i want to pick the thing in which i will make the most money out of.
Study eco/law at usyd.

Honour economics or finance.

So that is 6 years of study.

Get picked up by some HK TNC investment bank.

Earn 100K + first year out of uni.

Earn 500K + bonusues after a few years. (and bonuses can be 6 figure)

Invest.

Retire or go into something less stressful after 10 years.

win life

500K+ is only if you're very lucky and have the right connections. Very few people get that much; so if you're aiming for investment banking be prepared to work really hard and hopefully with luck you'll be in that category. Otherwise you'll have to settle for significantly less. Plus you have very limited job security.

That can be summarised in less words.

If your shit at a job you will not be rich. Same as most professions.

I was just answering your question of how to make as much money as possible, i dunno what i am going to do.

That is if you are playing the %'s and you will probably only become a millionaire.

Billionaire, entrepreneur yo.

as a 16 year old capatilist pig, the more money i have, the happier i become.

i would be happier married to my wife with my 3 kids earning 3 million a year, then busting my ass to clear 40 000.

that also means half the richest people did go to school and UNI.
and alot of the 'richest people' play sport, and act, in which a degree is not necessary.

But my business idol Sir RB didnt go to UNI, bad hes a bad ass.
These days heads of companies, even entrepreneurs have some sought of educational system behind them.
