I have a friend that went to work for a plumber out of high school, almost 20 years later he owns his own company and employs about a dozen plumbers himself. He makes more than the friends that went to med school

You don't know how many times we've said he should have been a plumber.

Yep

My BIL barely finished HS. Never even considered college an option. Started working for an electrician right out of HS and now 13 years later, he has his own business and 5 employees. He is killing it right now.

You want to find the wealthiest guy on the construction site? The ones with the 2000 acre deer ranch in Texas? The ones with the 60 foot sportfisher?

Find the Plumbing/HVAC or Electrical Sub. I can almost gurantee you the guy doesn't have more than a high school education too, but he sure as shite garners 40% of the capital construction cost.
