Sorry to pour water on you techie ambition but you soon discover server rooms and networks have diminishing returns and cant do it for so long. In case you want out at some point consider farming. Here's the story of one of the richest men in Kenya, who is a farmer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2NOv-IX_j0 Nelson Muguku is worth more than Kshs 5 B from shares in Equity and various Private Schools, he started out as a farmer. Enjoy Kiania
I think the words to underline here are "He started out", started! You can start anywhere, even if it's hawking handkerchiefs in town. Richness isn't corruptly collaborating with Farmers :)
Kenyatta said "Turudi Mashambani..!!!" <among other things that made some community throw stones at his entourage [?]> Unfortunately, imagining myself with a Jembe at this time in my life is a dream that sounds quite far... But the key to this story is persistence - dont try to be a jack of all trades, and if you do, stick to a field you can easily manage and that does not take focus away from your main business. And then we have - time. It takes time to build an empire.
That's quite true, but for me it's sad. To build an empire requires time, and a lot of it. But then again we are aging which means by the time success comes, we cannot enjoy it, ie. we have diabetes and blood pressure. :-(

No employer hires you to make you rich, they hire you to make them rich. This is why there'll always be issues with salaries and equality. Figure this out, no one builds an empire while working for someone else. You can even do fish farming ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTGCuIrpk3o&feature=related. FOOD. SHELTER.
