>The common denominator for making a lot of money is not "the trades" but owning a business. This, this, this. Our education system does a great job of teaching value production. It does an absolutely terrible job of teaching value capture. It would be really nice if the two were always aligned. But for most people, most of the time, they're not. The best solution for most people, IMO, is to divorce the two: to work at a job, and serve the community in off-hours. And to aim for independence so the two can be joined.
