[quote=Anonymous]In my immediate neighborhood, I was the first person to go to a four-year college (my brother got an AA degree). In my friendship group in HS, all my friends attended college, though many kids I grew up with either did not attend at all or dropped out after a bit. They wanted to keep the party going. A few of these friends ended up in college later in life - one had worked his way up in Fedex from a driver to a regional manager and got canned to save money in the '08 financial crisis - right before his 20 years - such BS. He ended up back in school, got a BA in accounting and is now employed. Another friend flitted around, married, had kids, came out, ended up in recovery, then went to under/grad and is now a MSW therapist. Others have ended up having good, sometimes challenging, lives as their jobs are often more precarious. Marriages, kids, grand kids now, etc.

Yet many more had addiction issues, injured on jobs and not working due to not having health insurance for the necessary PT/surgery that would have gotten them back in the work force, etc.

Feel fortunate that my brother has made it to 62 with no real hiccups and just hoping he can get to 65. [/quote]
