If you want to get rich, or at least comfortable, it's not that hard if you've got a brain, take some risks, and are prepared to work hard - even better if you work smart.
I know many people who, from nothing, have got wealthy or just comfortable (i.e. not having to worry about financial issues provide you don't go over the top).
If you haven't done that as a contractor, in spite of your relatively large earning ability, take a long hard look at yourself, your spending patterns, your lack of investment strategy etc. etc. instead of whining about some elite conspiracy.

You would never make the grade, you have to be nice to people.
At my local Tesco there is a Teacher, two teaching assistants and few other professionals.
They also used to employ a lady with BA honours I know.
Why?
Because they provide flexible working (they want employees in the evening when hubby can look after the kids) and not too bad a pay packet. They like well qualified employees and strive to get the best for their senior staff.
