You keep referring to people who are not “like you” as lazy. Has it ever occurred to you that they might be harder-working, and even smarter than you? Some of the hardest workers are often the poorest, and I can show you many, many people with Ph.D.’s (even with your much-loved STEM degrees) who don’t even make $100K after decades on the job as a successful and proven employee.

You don’t get wealth from working hard. You get wealth from working smart and some degree of luck. The innovators are the ones that figure out smarter way to do a task. Whether changing the process or using a machine to replace manual labor.
Business at it’s core is problem solving. Find a problem and create a efficient solution for it. Our education system should focus on problem solving, but often that takes a back seat to feel good topics. Not that feel good topics are bad, they just don’t do much to create economic growth.
