[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]53. Also grew up in a poor rural area and worked retail (and one factory job) for many years to help put myself through school. Now married to an attorney and have an advanced degree with a career in tech.

No wonder I think most of the posters on DCUM are clueless! ;) Lots of really low scores so far.

[b]It's funny though -- I consider myself to be fairly liberal, but my experiences living around people who were working class/poor make me less likely to cut them any slack...I remember seeing lots of abuse of welfare and SSD. People I know (still) back home who are just too lazy to get out of bed before 10am, or who can't keep a job for longer than a year or so (and not due to substance abuse or anything, just because they get "fed up" and "say f*ck it" one day). So I truly wonder if having a thinner-walled bubble means anything, anyway.[/b][/quote]

Interesting. Do you think there is a feeling of hopelessness when you grow up in that kind of environment? So you don't feel motivated to do much because it doesn't seem like you will get ahead no matter how hard you try?[/quote]
