These are totally legitimate ways of making more money and achieving an early retirement though. There's no deceitfulness there... Sometimes you do want the high paying job!

Absolutely. But few want to hear "Go to a good school, study hard for 4-5 years, work really hard toward interviews, and then go grind at FAANG/Investment Banks/MBB/etc. for 15 years, and move somewhere cheap", when they could

"Make a million bucks in just 5 years by flipping condos"

"Become wealthy by trading crypto / stocks, I did it in two years!"

etc.
