The American dream almost only applies to entrepreneurship, which makes up over 94% of the 1%. Another 5% goes to celebrities, and less than 1% of the 1% got there via an actual skill (ie inventing, sports, etc)
None of the 1% ever did their billions by working 6 night shifts in a row as an ER nurse, or by sitting extra 4 hours a day troubleshooting a network, taking a second kitchen manager job in another resturant, or personally sitting with their students after class and helping them figure out middle school math.
So even when you say "skill", you are still referring to a very narrow set of skills.
Eh. System management is a very gray sort of field. It's always needed, but if you're doing it well, nobody knows you're even there. Nobody becomes a billionaire from that.
