Who you are going to be is pretty much based on your childhood experiences.

He was mad he wasn't making money as a teacher...so why become a teacher when he majored in science?

My question is how do you go to Yale, literally one of the best universities on the planet, and "only" become a teacher
??He would have probably thrived in this era with weed being pretty much legal in certain parts of the country. Could have used his knowledge to build his own legal dispensary. Its really tragic.
He died 2011 so he was dealing within the times.
Well said. That's a t shirt.
High achievement is based on so many factors, including knowing how to navigate and develop relationships with other future high achievers. I figured this shyt out in my mid-20s. I was a super smart kid growing up, went to a great school etc. And came out with my degree making peanuts. Then I looked around and said what was the difference between me, the smart kid who worked hard, and those who were truly succeeding and it hit me that I didn’t have the relationships to be in the spaces where moves were being made. So I switched my focus from being the smartest person in the room to being the most likeable, throwing myself into a lot of environments that were uncomfortable for me (understanding that I to this day still feel most comfortable in the hood) so I could learn to navigate and develop relationships in them. Ten years or so later and my life has changed immensely. People give good jobs and opportunities to the best people they know, not the best resume. Most resumes don’t even get looked at except as confirmation that you can hire that person you know or who has been recommended to you by someone you know. It’s game of thrones in real time.My question is how do you go to Yale, literally one of the best universities on the planet, and "only" become a teacher
I also had to do a lot of healing. The hood left me with a lot of wounds. But this post is already too long.
So when I read stories like this I get sad cuz I know how easily it coulda been me or on the flipside, how easily brothers like this could have succeeded with more social support and positive examples. Environments matter so much…
EDIT: Sorry if it came across like I was preaching at you my brother. It wasn’t that. Just a lot came out. This shyt hits home.

Good drop, many don't know that Joseph Kennedy was a major bootlegger during prohibition. And that Yale was founded with opium smuggling money and a President Roosevelt forefather Warren Delano was involved in the trade. Ditto former Senator John Kerry. Add Yale founders Elihu Yale, William Huntington and Samuel Russel to the list.
The former conspiracy theory Chicago journalist (Sherman Skolnick ) wrote that Clinton's bio father was Governor Winthrop Rockefeller, and that he got kicked out of Yale for smashing a co-ed in his dormitory room in his junior year at that school. His alleged son got busted for "what that mouth do Monica in the f-in White House.

"The Rockefellers are not naive plutocrats. If there ever were ANY
documents proving that Winthrop Rockefeller fathered five illegitimatechildren around the nation including the person who calls himself "Bill
Clinton", those records, if any, have long since been destroyed. "

I hope people heed these words. I had to learn this the hard way. The smartest/harder worker rarely gets promoted or the best job opportunities.
