>It's not that hard, if you have a lucrative skill.

If you have a lucrative skill you'd be an idiot to go work for someone else. You can have your own business and have clients coming to YOU, and get to keep all the profit, and grow the business too.

So, somehow your definition of lucrative skill is "lucrative, but only if you're a salaried employee".

Meh. I'd either have to do all the business crap, which I have no interest in doing, or I'd have to pay someone to do it, which would get rid of those profits.

Depending on the skill, "all the business crap" is usually minimal, and millions of freelancers have no problems do it.

The business side is only a hassle at scale, at which case, you can afford to hire some assistants.
