The people I know all worked extremely hard so they earned their keep. The environment just proved to be extremely opportunististic especailly if you didn’t mind putting in long hours and dealing with the general public.
If your a CPA and making 100 k but you see that the sales people you are doing the accoutning for are earning 4 and 5 times what you are making it only seems smart to make the leep of faith that you can do it too. When the gravy train ends you still are a CPA. You just have a lot more money.
