Now, I understood that there was a hierarchy involved and
I was at the end of the line, but I was not satisfied with this
arrangement. I worked my ass off for every round and
players loved me, so I talked to the caddie master about
getting the better-paying rounds. I was told that certain
caddies had been around much longer and had more
experience and, in a roundabout way, that I should "shove
it." I continued to work diligently for a measly $75 to $100
per round as I watched certain caddies making, what I
computed to be, over $50,000 a year, in cash. After a
while I finally got the chip off my shoulder and decided to
become close to some of them and learn from their infinite
caddying wisdom. I learned to kiss a little more tush,
which raised my earnings slightly but I still was not getting
the best rounds.

One day one of the more experienced caddies took me
aside and explained to me how to get the good rounds. In
doing so, he also taught me how the world works. He was
leaving the club to follow his dream of becoming a
professional golfer, and he recognized my work ethic and
my frustration. The trick was simple; I had to give the
caddie master 10 percent of my tips under the table, and he
would make sure I was getting the best-paying rounds. I
started paying off the caddie master, and I became the
richest fifteen-year-old around. The $200 to $500 rounds
were now mine too, along with front-row tickets to more
major sporting events than I could ever attend.

Caddying for people at this club taught me more about the
road to success than any class or book possibly could. I
learned that an education is by no means a prerequisite for
success. I witnessed multimillion-dollar deals being cut
over golf games, and the little extras thrown in to the deals
that could not be described as anything other than payoffs.
In short, I received the best education on bow the world
really operates by seeing the inner workings that outsiders
are not supposed to see. I put this book together to reveal
some of the inner workings that make up our capitalist
society to readers who are sick of playing by the rules but
still have not figured out how to break them and get away
with it. I have tried most of what appears on the following
pages and gotten away with almost everything.
