I was reading this interview at the dentist office. The guy was a miljonair, he invented something that has to do with constrution. Coulnd't read it all, because my name was called.
One thing that he said felt kind of debatable, but I wonder how you feel about it.

He said, that the miljons made nowadays are made by people that are good with their hands. Not with their brains.

He might also mean people that work in IT, i think he does.

I am not sure about his statement. On one hand I say "yes". Why? Because if you want to be able to hire people to do the stuff that needs to be done to make your business succeed, you need money. If you don't have that, you have to do it yourself. If you can't do it yourself, it seems to be you are kind of screwed... or you need to learn what you need (which will take several years, something like coding takes years). Thats not to say that it can't be done, but that would make his statement true.

On the other hand, I say no. Aren't we living in an informational era? Knowledge is power?

Don't discount the fact he could simply be wrong. That being said, plumbers, oil workers and other trades people are doing relatively well (so I hear), probably because everyone is going to college and majoring in academic fields.
