A lot of people will generally not answer these kinds of questions (they come up on occasion, and usually hilarity ensues) as a matter of privacy. Plus, the answers will be extremely varied.
Mainly, if you're asking so you can do what we do so you can get the car you want, you're doing life wrong.
Do what you love, and do it so well that people pay you to do it. Keep an open mind, but question everything and never stop learning. Celebrate failure as a learning opportunity and don't let it discourage you.
Everything else will follow.

Ahhh....interesting thread....as if choosing a career path to wealth. Its not WHAT you do for a living, its how you do it. In every industry there are smart people and those not so clever, or some harder working and some more laid back.
I own my own business and have for 30 years, and still work 6 days a week, 60 hours. I could hire an employee for $ 50K to $ 60K a year and not work so hard, this is what most people do and there is nothing wrong with that at all. However, I see that $ 50K a year going out and say to myself "You can have an employee or an Aston Martin, which do you want?" And my choice is clear...in two years time the Aston is paid for.

OP, People that found their sweet spot and love what they do tend to be happier and more successful - whatever that means to you.

Doc, you're right and wrong... If you grow a business then part of that is finding ways to multiply yourself and having each of those employees add value y not only making your life easier but also paying for themselves - the taxes you'll have to match and the overhead. It is headache to manage people and if you love what you do then the hours are less of a big deal.

I, an ex-pat Brit living in the US, am lucky enough to have been given an Aston by Her Majesty's Government in order to fly the flag of British engineering excellence in the colonies (but I do have to buy my own petrol)
