Anything that puts me that low on an organizational chart is incredibly unappealing to me. The conventional corporate path of becoming a director after working really hard seems crazy to me. And forget about becoming an executive.

I agree with you about joining low in the "org" chart being unappealing.

But the comment about having to "work really hard" to become a director confuses me...

It seems all paths to extreme success involve hard work..

Working really hard to become a couple steps down on an org chart is much less appealing to me than working really hard and having a self-sustaining or acquired business.
