I knew it would be living a life of backbreaking work and living in poverty by staying in my rural area.
All through public and high school, weekend jobs and summer odd jobs business's. The money was set aside for post secondary schooling. Then off to the *^^*^& city for an education,apprenticeship income and financial growth.
After some years and building up some assets I'm back in my home rural area making more in a skilled trade than most academic professionals who wear a suit.
Did I have to wait years for the results, study instead of partying, marrying and family in my 20's and 30's instead of teens and 20's? Did I have to spend week days for years in the crazy city? Yes.
You are living in the land where people hire the mob to smuggle then in, some just get ripped off or killed . Or they risk death by floating a raft onto the US. Then they work hard and smart. After a few years some are worth more than somebody whose family has been in the US for eight generations.
So quit wishing and whining for success and fortune to come to you. Get off your *ss, use your head and your back and get success for yourself.
Most of my public school & high school classmates are absolutely puzzled that somehow one of them "got ahead".
We all know people who have worked hard their entire lives and have nothing to show for it. They worked hard but they didn't plan or think. You can look for a pot of gold in a straw stack for years but never find one. Go dig yourself a gold mine instead.
