Oh no 100% if you got a maths degree you have a much better chance of landing a high paying job. Id say most of it though comes down to how badly do you want that lucrative job?

Take away the people who, like their job and dont want to change even for more money... or those who.... have tried a high paying position and hated the work load.... Or those who.... Dont even apply for better jobs as they dont have the self confidence.... Or those who.... Life circumstances such as children stop them from taking on a huge workload.... Or those who.... Simply cba with a job that holds responsibility....or those who.... Dont know exactly want they want to do yet and want to have the freedom to switch careers..... Then really your left with a very few select group of people who are all out their to put whatever work and hours and effort they have into earning good money.

I truly beleive becoming a millionaire is a matter of choice. Most people subconciously or conciously see that the money is not worth the loss of free time and general "life".

If i went around western countries and put a gun to peoples head and said "be earning 100k a year or more in the next 5 years or i will shoot you and your family" i reckon most people would achieve 100k a year
