In my case, my brother is contented in working for a large company and earning a salary and he works harder hoping for a raise every year...ugh, why doesn't he understand that its not going to be like that forever?

I've been saying that about a friend who took the corporate route while I took the solo route for about 10 years. So far he's making ~200k/yr reliably. Other friends with equity at dot com survivors/thrivers have $1m in the bank. It's not a bad path ;) it's just not for me.

It won't be like that forever? Um... that's kind of the point of working for large companies. The stability.
