Why do you assume I am talking about myself? I would be broke if I was making your brother's money. Who cares what you do for work, you don't need pride in your work you just need to make a liveable wage. The fact that you think people should be dead or homeless because you don't approve of their job is psychopathic to me.
Six years earlier, Matt had taken a Greyhound bus to Bradford from Tacoma, Wash., to visit a woman he met while playing a video game called “Second Life.” The woman turned out to be married. Now, Matt, 32, lived with her, her husband and another developmentally delayed woman in a rotting brown and yellow two-story rental, which had no working furnace, black mold and bedbugs. Matt was the only one in the house with a job, and they had all come to depend on his salary to survive.
Its a maturity thing. It takes some folks longer than others. I think we have this nonesense drilled into our heads as kids that some people are smart while others are not. Few people connect the dots and realize that smart people(with exception of the autistic) are the result of time+effort. And just because you didnt put in the effort in middles school+highschool; doesnt mean you cant do it as an adult.
Once this realization clicks, you see random sht occur like a single mom, whom even her friends would consider dumb, learning pharmacology and organic chem to get her bachelors in nursing. You see stuff like 30yr old non-traditional biz/humanity graduates shooting for med school later in life.
You may even see my very favorite one. One of my college jobs was on some random dock, load/unloading sht. With the exception of us college students who were milking the flex hours, everyone there would be stereotypically bottom of the barrel. I'll never forget when one of the dock-hands, a dude named Julius, convinced himself that he could become a pilot. We laughed at the time, but one day it just clicked for breh. Little by little we saw him pick up math books for the first time and even study aeronautical instruments.
Now that same breh is flying cargo for UPS, spitting game to other dock-hands about how they can leave their lot in life.
So @Bossino , i disagree . America isnt filled with stupid people; its just that they havent matured enough to put in time/effort to do better. Unfortunately, ive noticed this really only clicks for late bloomers when they are being crushed under the weight of kids, divorce, and or family tragedy. And These are all things the same person was capable of doing before crisis.
In fact, as i type this; i realize that i kinda agree that these mcD gigs are holding spots until and individual matures in life. If you wanna get poetic, its like a socioeconomic purgatory.
