    ... Sigh .... sorry but I think your attitude stinks. You don't become a millionaire overnight. You have to work at it. Personally I think you have the wrong attitude for MS-ing.

    I appreciate one has to work at it. I am not saying it is easy. I wanted to make people aware of my goals and I appreciate that many have told me that MS would not make me that kind of money.

    I think the feedback has been helpful.

    Glad we could be of service.

    I must say, though, this is probably the wrong thread for someone with such high aspirations.

    Us hard-working MSers just accept that earning money takes time & effort. Thats what we do.

    In that case I suggest you find a new job that pays £200 per week on top of your current salary

    I've been told working longer hours or doing a second job is a poor mans game. How many people do you know that have become seriously wealthy from doing that?

    This conversation reminds me of a quote by John Paul Getty, anyone interested in hearing it?

    It starts off with "Formula for success:"

    The next piece of advice is "work hard"

    Anybody want the punch line?
