I've never seen being a mechanic as being some lowly job myself its a trade that somebody went to school to master and requires alot of skill. Lots of people claim to be mechanics but there are only so many that truly know what they're doing.

Yes, anyone can potentially own a business, but there's only so many people who can fill a certain socio-economic strata before there's no more room. If a business owner didn't have lower paid employees because everyone else had their own business, then the entire scheme would fail. Capitalism requires a certain number of people to fail, or at least succeed less than others, financially speaking. The entire reason you are able to own your own business, besides your hard work, is that your peers were less successful than you and therefore left an opening for you to exploit.
