Being an extreme saver who lives VERY frugally is the surest way to wealth. This can be accomplished in almost any profession coming out of almost any school. I’m not exaggerating. You can retire young if you follow this advice. Most people who earn a lot spend it all. Most people who have a lot are not in obscenely high-paying professions. They are not flashy and you would never know. If you want a flashy life, you need to earn a lot. But then you probably won’t be saving much. Very few people both spend a lot and have a lot saved. But there are some zillionaires like that. You can always try to be one of them by earning a lot AND saving a lot. You will probably have to be exceptional at what you do. Good luck.
