Kaj, why don't you add the option of getting rich in your 20s by working in finance, then paying your way into research groups in your late 30s? PalmPilot guy, uh Jeff Hawkins essentially did this. Except he was an entrepreneur.
Are there any good ways of getting rich that don't involve selling your soul?
Please rephrase without using "selling your soul".
Are there any good ways of getting rich that don't involve a Faustian exchange with Lucifer himself?
Pfft. No good ways.

As well ask if there are hundred-dollar bills lying on sidewalks.
EDIT: 2 days after I wrote this, I was walking down the main staircase in the library and laying on the central landing, highly contrasted against the floor, in completely clear view of 4 or 5 people who walked past it, was a dollar bill. I paused for a moment reflecting on the irony that sometimes there are free lunches - and picked it up.
