Thats 2 CPAs and don't forget the artists, musicians, engineers, 
merchants, bureaucrats, philosophers, entertainers, and wheeler 
dealers, all of whom did pretty well. Lots of professionals, but none 
of the kind you might need to sponge off when your old, such as 
doctors, lawyers, and preachers. Oh well the Mayan calendar may save us 
from having to pass our great wealth, and I haven't even had a drink 
yet.

Not to mention an inventor. There a few among us who are actually

nice retirement income - and some were smart enough to buy rental 
property

If you think about it, doctors lawyers preachers and politicians have
to show up on time, work real hard, and wear suits.

Plus kiss ass. I think that may have something to do with it. -- R
