Any job with monopoly pricing protections - a doctor or engineer at large established firms fit the bill. Once you have monopoly pricing - you are no longer the one being screwed, but rather the one doing the screwing.

Do I think I'm above average? Depends on what you mean by average.

There are zero barriers to entry in becoming a founder - so yes I'm founder material. As is everyone else. The question that actually needs to be asked is: How lucky can one get?

I know several doctors and they all complain about how they are getting screwed--by the trial lawyers, the insurance companies, the hospital, the government, etc.

This may just be a situation where the grass looks greener.
