You know, when I think of a "high

status" person, it puts me in mind of a well educated, competent individual who is successful in the endeavors they

attempt.

Some of the groups of people I think of are doctors, college professors and judges. None of these

groups seem to be very prone to risk taking.

Of course there are many "high status" people who do not belong to

these particular groups, but I feel that a lot of their acheivements are do to their caution and well thought out

planning before action rather than dumb luck.
