Very unlikely.

It's difficult to get rich in any job or should I say the jobs where one can get rich are difficult to get. We all want to be rich, don't we?

Jobs don't get you rich unless you are a high earning executive.

If you run your own business there is a possibility of becoming wealthy, but you need the right product or service. It also may take a long while before you start making a profit.
