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.

Running a business is so much more than making products or offering services.  It isn't remotely as simple as you are making it out.  A lot of strategy takes place behind the scenes.  Making a product is only 1 step out of many.  Nobody is taking anything.  Do I manufacture products directly?  No, but I play a crucial role within my organisation and to act like I am taking stuff is just wrong.  I provide critical knowledge that is leveraged for NTO growth.
