Surely if you can't afford to be an owner that's the way it goes..you have to work hard,unless your born to money..
Marwan Koukash is a wonderful example of working your way into the top tier.
Koukash was born on the west bank of the Jordan in December 1958. When he was eight years old, his family farm was bombed. With nowhere to live, his mother walked him and his seven siblings for three days without food until they reached the Jordan river and across into Arab Jordan. There they spent three years in a refugee camp, before moving to Kuwait.[1] Eventually, he moved to England to progress his education, and settled in St Helens, Merseyside to study at the local technical college.[2] He graduated from Liverpool John Moores University and progressed to get a PhD in electrical engineering. He taught at the university for five years, and was appointed Director of International Business. In 1992 he set up EuroMaTech, a corporate training company, from which he derived much of his wealth.[1]
