If you are trying to optimize for income, then go for it. If it doesn't work out, try something else. There's an abundance of opportunity and not enough people willing to take (measured) risks, so if you're smart and willing to take on sufficient but not excessive risk, net over the long term you will succeed.

If you are risk averse, or poor at assessing risk, or not very smart, then don't chase money: you will most likely end up poor, unless you're incredibly lucky, which you cannot control.
