> Also, does anyone in tech realize how much, say, lawyers and doctors make?

Lawyer median income 2014: 75k/year

Doctors hold up better to this stereotype at median income of $208k (2017)

Median founder income = 0$/year since your start up will go bust and you'll lose the money you put into it. So being a founder is a terrible career path if you're just average.

All of this advice is presaged on being exceptional. Exceptional doctors earn 400-500K year, lawyers too.
