Practically anything you do, if you think you can out-effort 95% of your peers, you'll succeed in it and make whatever the top end money is for whatever you're doing. You can be a body builder. You can be a fisherman. You can be a hot dog vendor who lives at his stand 6 days a week. The only things you can't do are things which require physical or mental traits in the top few percentile, like being an astronaut or a basketball player. But in reality it's not that easy out efforting everybody. And some times it's not about just working really hard. Are you willing to move and leave your friends and family behind? Are you willing to put off starting a family or developing relationships? Are you willing to do douchebag things? And if you're going to out-effort everybody else, you can't just pick anything. You actually have to love what it is you're doing to be able to sacrifice so much in order to do it to that extent, and figuring out your work passion is something most people never manage to do.
