A lot of hardworking people who don't build wealth picked poorly with career choice.

Ma' boi... Wealth comes ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY from the hardworking people who see the fruits of their work taken by others (bosses, investors, etc.). That's exactly what the 3rd pillar of capitalism is about (aside from private property of the means of production and free market): people profiting from other people's work. In fact, without workers there's no wealth, since they make the products and provide the services, but others take most of the "wealth" generated by both of these.

Without workers nothing get's done, I agree, but without entrepreneurs, visionaries, etc, people like Tesla, people like Musk, we'd still be living in the dark and we'd still be burning nothing but oil and gas, if we even had cars, and weren't still using horse and buggy.

Would we rather be more equal financially, or would we rather Netflix and chill?
