It's okay, they'll eventually figure it out, when they're sitting on a pile of money but nothing else to show for those endless years of 70-80 hour work weeks. Maybe they'll be plenty happy with their pile of money - more power to them. Or maybe they'll be lonely and have wasted much of their life. That's a tough dice roll to take.
