Yep. If a man doesn’t mind some physical labor and some sweat, he can become very successful in fairly short order.
IF that person also possesses some basic business sense and some cursory computer skills for doing bids, invoices, bookkeeping, etc. Otherwise, they could lose their arse a short order. Often times the barrier to entry is the initial investment into equipment of whatever field you choose, vehicle(s) and some cash in the bank to get you through the startup. Never dealt with the SBA as I always heard they were a pain in the arse but it's always an option.

I overly simplified my statement.

If a man with a good work ethic and a good attitude gets a ground level job at whatever field it is, in my scenario he is learning all of that on the job.

But I do agree, there’s more to it than just hard work. And a little luck No and again doesn’t hurt either.

Correct. The people who can successful run a real trade business should have gone to college and then run a more high margin business.

The vast majority of people in trade work do not have the mental capacity to do so, and make shite in bad conditions. They only make good money if they work 1000 hours/year in OT.

Also, as I stated in another thread, if you value your children working around decent people, trade work isn't exactly the future you want.
