A few adventurers are rich, but remember the outliers. Most adventurers are not rich. Consider also the fairly reliable correlation that richer adventurers live less adventurously than the poorer dirt bags living out of vans but climbing 300 days every year. Think about what you want. If you want to earn well, you would be wise to get a different job and just spend some of your earnings on adventures. I know plenty of less intelligent, less driven people who earn many times what I do. And besides, wanting to live adventurously is almost the antithesis of wanting to be rich.
