Small business owner.
He owns the truck, his workers drive it.

The small business owner started somewhere. He didn't wake up and then send a crew out with a $10k lawmower or a $50,000 directional bore machine. Then look at the farmers out there who have a $500,000 tractor.

Usually those people paid their dues by being a worthless $8 an hour labor workers who learned the trade and got their own equipment and started work themselves to work themselves up to millionares.

Most college graduates (Bachelor or above) I know don't break above $60k (closest one is a mechanical engineer at 58k). I know a rad tech who was started at $60k with an associates degree.

The point being is if you want to be a milllionare the best way to get there is probably not a college route.
