Among the teeming hordes of septic system jockeys is one who works harder than the rest. And he sees opportunity. He starts his own plumbing business. He starts small but works his tail off. Next thing you know, he's driving a 911 while chatting on his cell phone. It's the natural order of things. He's hard working, insightful and he'll take risk. THAT'S what separates him from the "working poor". It'll never change.
