why do people work for other people?
security, saves the hassle of all the day to day things that self-employed, or small business people have to take care of. Benefits (health, retirement).

Quote:
why dont you do what you do now except do it on your own?
If I go into practice I will work for myself. If I go into research, I'll work for someone (no choice).

Quote:
what does it take to make something work?
gumption.

Quote:
why dont more people invest in real estate?
lack of capital. being a landlord is a pain. real estate not terribly liquid. people often dont live in the same city for too long.
