    This, listen to this. My wife and I started a nonprofit when she was 19 that is now multi-million a year, 20 years later, but you have to start a business that you are passionate about. And I worked to support it for years and years.

      What? This always confused me. How do non-profits make $? If they’re a non-profit to begin with? What is non-profit about them?

        There is a huge general misconception about the term non-profit. It doesn’t mean that people can’t make money on it, making big salaries, even lavish offices, perks and sucking money into the organization. There could be an entire reddit sub on this topic, how NGO, non-profit, Fair Trade descriptions are misconstrued to mean that it’s altruistic or people are working there in poverty. I know many who have quit good jobs in regular publicly traded corporations and make more money in NGO work.
