So, if due to some problems if you have been unable to get a good higher education, there is no need to worry about it. You can venture into different types of niche businesses that require only about 1% capital and more than 99% creative and innovative skills in order to grow. Examples of college or school dropouts who have made it big and have become millionaires are plenty and these people are now hiring many highly educated and well-qualified people to work for them to create wealth. However, this does not mean that education is not required or necessary, rather it is quite important, but there are millions who miss out on the opportunity because of a want for resources or poverty issues.
Basically, wealth can be only generated only if you can offer a product or service that is useful for the consumers. If you can use your own creative skills to develop a product that is both innovative and exclusive; develop an idea or service that might prove useful in reducing cost and adding value or take an existing product and turn it into a lighter, smaller and a powerful product, and if these services or products appeal in terms of utility to customers or business man, then no one can really stop you from making money. By reading biographies of school and college drop-outs self made millionaires you can get an insight as how they made their million dollars.
Around the world, there are millions of people who have been unable to get higher education because of a poor financial status. Sadly, these group of people accept this scenario as their destiny and then either begin a very small scale business or get a petty job and then struggle for their entire life in order to meet basic routine requirements. They do not dare to think big because they are way too hassled thinking about meeting their basic daily requirements of food, clothing and shelter and thus can never rise in life.
Most of the people who fall in the above mentioned category have the notion that since they neither have huge capital for investing nor high educational qualifications, it is not possible for them to start a business or get a well-paying good job. Because of such self-limited notions, they try to look for people to refer them to some job and thus they are ready to do whatever comes their way. Such people also have a wrong assumption that every business needs an investment of millions of dollars and since they do not have that much of money, they can never really dream of starting a business of their own.
Also such people harbor the notion that due to a lack of higher education, it is almost impossible for them to get a better job. These assumptions can be attributed to the fact that these people read or hear about corporate houses and large firms that make up for billion dollar industries and appoint highly skilled and qualified technocrats, software engineers, etc. Thus these people drop all their ideas of setting up a new business since they feel that they would not be able to compete with these corporate 'giants' who spend millions of dollars in R&D and advertising and have many brands that enjoy great popularity.
If you were to look around carefully, there are many inspiring examples of self-made millionaires who have proved such assumptions and notions wrong. They had defied similar difficulties by sheer planning and determination and went from rags to riches. There are also ample examples of school and college dropouts who have had to sleep on footpaths or sell vegetables or consumer items in trains initially for survival but still, made it big by sheer determination and overcame their shortcomings, be it financial or educational.
Therefore, never under estimated your own abilities of becoming a millionaire via sheer determination.

"Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Accordingly a genius
is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework."

"Just as millions of snowflakes pile up to create a blanket of snow,
the 'thank you's' we say pile up and fall gently upon one another until,
in our hearts and minds, we are adrift in gratitude."
