Technically, you need to inherit the genes that allow you to do this kind of profession successfully.

At that point you may as well lean into the idea that free will is an illusion. It just sort of stops the utility of the discussion (if there even was any).

But it's not open to anyone, open to more people than other prestigious positions but definitely not anyone... there are factors that limit your exposure or ability to perform in these positions obviously.
It's also out of context, which was that two tech parents were discussing having time for family. There's a strong correlation between expensive homes near tech campuses and tech jobs at tech campuses paying over $150k/yr for someone out of undergrad (if HN reports are correct). And besides, optimizing your location includes choosing both job and location; there are tech jobs that are not in expensive locations, and spending most of one's money on an expensive mortgage to buy free time for family is also an option.
