How many paychecks did Ryan Smith miss? Also not something I signed up for. I finished school with a marketable major and always chose a job with a steady paycheck There is no way that Ryan Smith doesn't have incredible skills. No way.

IMO, to dismiss someone's accomplishments by calling them lucky is pretty weak sauce. I guess I just assume their success had more to do with them, their effort, their talents and their choices rather than dumb luck, which requires none of that.
