You're just setting yourself up for disappointment if you go down this route you've planned for yourself. The kind of money that makes people rich doesn't usually come from wishful thinking. Hard word, passion, and perseverance play a part. Of course it also helps to come from a wealthy background, have influential parents, and be well educated.
But all of that doesn't matter.
What you should be doing is figuring out what gets you up in the morning. That can take years. Some people are just lucky and find it early before they go into university. Most people I know who've gone to university ended up working in a completely different field than what they studied.
So don't sweat it man. You're twenty. Go drink. Get high. Backpack around Europe. Start a band. Or a business. Watch it burn away all your money. Move in with your parents until you figure things out. Move out to the big city. Meet people.
Eventually it will hit you straight in the face. Whatever it is you're suppose to do that gets you up in the morning... it will just come to you and you won't be able to sleep without thinking about it. That thing is what will give you the drive to wake up in the morning and work your ass off all day.
And if you're lucky, you'll get that million dollars. Only when you do you might not even realize it. You'll be too busy working on the next big thing.
If you want $1m in 15 years, see a financial planner. $40k per year at 6.5% compounding will do it, just stay at McDonalds and work another job. Sound interesting? No, but you will make your goal.
