Well Hello Mickey!
I have no idea what your circumstances are, but many of us started our lives with very little. I started out as line boy and have worked my way to a 747-400 captain. I may not have the best paying job in the world, I have no retirement other than what I have saved for, but I have worked very hard to be where I am, and am somewhat proud of my accomplishments.
I have no idea where you work, but I can surmise that you have it pretty good. most likely due to luck!
WE all do what we have to do to pay the mortgage. I sure hope you never have to make the decision of whether to take that low paying job, or stick by your brethren, and gome homeless and eat in the soup kitchen. I have an idea of what the outcome would be.
