It is a common belief that in order to make “big” money in America as an African American, there are only a few choices. Mainstream America will suggest that success of this sort can
only be found in music, entertainment and sports, or maybe even in the trade of illicit drugs. Although many do come from these areas and are people who have never attended or completed college, sizable corpuses of millionaires make their money in other ways and the billionaires tend to never be in the area of music, entertainment or sports and all are college educated.
