My only argument is that most people WONT end up on top. Most people can try to do what they love, but most people also have bills to pay. And very few people get to the top.
I find it far more important that humans see individuals as such, not wealth. If one wants to try to do something, they should try. But at the same time, it is wrong to lie to someone about odds. No different than a lottery ticket. It is true people do win the big jackpot, but most wont. What most people can do however, is work and save.
Again, you seem to be equating wealth to success. One can be successful without making it ‘to the top’.

And we still need dishwashers, and janitors and hotel workers and farm workers and gas station clerks.
My late biological grandfather worked for CVS for over 30 years. He ended up making minimum wage when he retired. Not because he wanted to, but because giant corporations are greedy fucks, and kept cutting his wages and benefits and hours.
I agree, it is very possible to be successful without making it to the top.
THAT is why it is important to value every job, not just what you think people should or should not do or be.
Giants always stand on shoulders. And there will always be more shoulders than giants.
