I worked in car sales for a long time. Basically every above average salesperson, and every mechanic over 26, owned their own home. In California. While it's probably not possible to own your own how doing every and any job, it's not like that was possible throughout history either. But if you do something at all specialized beyond just providing the lowest of manual labor, you can usually get a home.

I also know the construction industry well. You can glue tile to the floor, or screw cabinets to a wall, and own your own home pretty quickly.

If mechanics and slightly skilled manual labors can own homes in California, is there really a problem?
