Depends what you mean by wealth, but for the majority of middle-class people the way to wealth is highly leveraged property speculation: borrow deposit from parents, take out mortgage, wait 25 years during which time the property has gone up hugely in value.

.. which requires a steady enough job to make 25 years of uninterrupted mortgage payments.
