Who says you have to be old before you start making the good money?

When I graduated college, I had 14 job offers, two of them for more than $100,000 a year. No, I didn’t go to a prestigious school like Harvard or Stanford. And no, I didn’t graduate with an advanced degree in law or medicine.

I had a bachelor’s degree in English Literature from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. By all accounts, I should’ve been making only about $30,000 a year. Maybe less.

So what does? Because people obviously change on the road from rags to riches.

I’ve thought about it long and hard. I’ve talked to millionaires, multimillionaires, and even a handful of billionaires. I’ve also examined my own life, searching for the cause of changes within myself.
