No it doesn't auto keep you there. Poor people make it out all the time. But the fact is, it isn't easy, and it takes an influence outside of your social circles some times.
|
You always need to be reaching outside of your social circles to advance yourself... how to you get offer for a higher paying job? You have to go outside of your social circle... Going outside of that circle is "Change" and people fear "Change" because change is painful in a lot of ways... Change infringes on your comfort zone... Change also increases your chances of both failure AND success.+

Oilguy "work hard, go to school"
Poor kids parents "drop out of school, McDonalds is paying $6.75!!!"

I know you are not quoting me... I have never said that. And my advise to my kids is not "Work hard, go to school"
That part is not advise... they are my responsibility and those two statements are not advise but rather "Commands"... That is their job, and if they choose not to do their job >> They get the consequences.
My advise is Have a good attitude while working hard and try working smart... Work fast and take the rest of the day off ( I home school)
As for "Go to school"... I am responsible for primary school and I am giving them a foundation to carry that further if they choose to... I have already saved for their college >>> IF THEY WANT TO GO. I will educate them of the advantages and disadvantages of going to college.... But what I will teach them is how to own and operate a successful business... They will learn the ins and outs of decision making... they will learn how to communicate with others on that persons level... They will learn how to read, write, and speak the English language fully and accurately... they will learn how to be confident... they will learn how to negotiate.... they will learn how to be a good citizen...
>>>
The main thing I want my kids to learn is to have a good "attitude".<<<

I trusted these people to get their teams of lawyers to vet anything before they signed it. Turns out, if you're poor, you don't need to pay lawyers

See if you can find the flaw.
