<p>@cpraf104 It’s not about how apt you are at programming or anything, really - it’s about having the right ideas, hiring the right people, and marketing it the right way.
The fact that Larry Page is a computer scientist only means that he made the prototype of the idea possible. Now he’s purely a businessman - he’s got engineers to do his dirty work for him. What I’m saying is - You don’t want to be one of those engineers, you want to be Larry. Those engineers may have graduated MIT, but the fact that their programming abilities are better than those of others doesn’t mean they get paid more, or are more successful, than others who aren’t as good.
Ride the startup train. Think of a startup now, make your money young, and be Larry when you’re older.</p>
