Not sure about the wealth part.

For one of the classes, we had to read a book every week, and write a book report for every book. I think it was 17 books. "Approaches to Cultural History" is the name of the class - the professor kept complaining about my book reports that I wasn't "engaging the material" - I think because I kept talking about the way it was written instead of what was written. But I was getting B's and everyone else seemed to be getting B minuses. He's a tough sell. Graduated Columbia, taught at Berkeley, retired now and teaches at Mason half the year.

The one thing I learned this semester is that writing history is really hard work. It may well be that selling history is harder, but I haven't tried that.

I do know that being a lawyer is a lot easier than making money at it.

The money part is the hard part.
