My brother (used to be a carpet cleaner) has just landed himself a £42000 job in the water industry with a 3 series BMW all costs paid and mobile phone with no limitations, when I left the army he got me a job in the water industry and I watched him bluff his way from the very bottom through the ranks, he stopped for 3 years to carpet clean but got married so went back into water for a steady wage. He has minimal GCSEs but can bluff an interview, and if he gets offered the job he learns the relevant computer programmes etc he has briefly researched for the interview. I just make this point as I can imagine the years of education people need to get the jobs in the link I posted but the succesful people I know, have worked from nothing up. I personally left school at 15 to join the army at 16 and have no qualifications (apart from open university, which have no relevance to my situation) but my sister worked extremely hard for years to become a teacher, yet my brother and I both earn more than her, in my case by just buying a van, a ninja and going on a course!!
