SO let's see... Demographically speaking, most wealthy people in the US are those that are 50 years or over, male, and that are either current or former small business owners or professionals that have been successful in their career. Under small busines owners, retail and construction are the most successful. In professional careers, lawyers and doctors are still the most likely to become weaslthy, followed by MBA types. Another category that is highly likely to become wealthy are sales people. There is research out on all of this stuff, mainly aimed at marketing types.
Of course, recently day-traders and dot-commers have been the new generation of instant suvccess, these are typically in their 20-ies or 30-ies, education is all over the map.
So my advise would be to get a law degree, an MBA and a medical doctorate, after which you should start day trading, while starting a .com which sells something related to medical, financial and legal services on a commission basis in the retail arena. You will then sell that company when it is successful, and next build the sound system of your dreams. ;)
