If I sound rude, then I sound rude in pretty much every post I make. The exasperation in my reply was directed toward every countless person who thinks that they can magically make it big in Japan.
I admit the "laugh out loud" bit was a tad rude, but if I read someone`s post saying something similar in reference to some other very very competitive field with very very few success stories (such as the "actress" bit I posted) talking about how easy it is to succeed, and succeed multiple times all at once - ie. publishing multiple successful novels, on multiple tv shows, releasing multiple hit cds, etc etc... With math that is extremely optimistic - to the point that it virtually ignores reality.... Particularly when posted in a rather arrogant tone talking about how quick they can do the work... Unfortunately I couldn`t help myself.
I don`t mean to discourage anyone from working toward that kind of goal, but rather to be realistic. To be in it for the art and not to worry about the money, as the money is not likely to be good at all.
