You said business requires luck. I said no, it requires rationality.
Edit: which can be obtained by becoming an engineer and studying philosophy for example
Yet a young man who wants to become a business man and who decides to go through an engineering program and to study philosophy and who becomes a huge industrialist is probably not as lucky as a man who made a business by pure luck yet...
