[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or they are those who had fewer options because their parents were not educated. or they did not have good schools. Or they left school early to work and help their family. Or they struggled to learn due to learning disabilities.

There are many reasons why people might not finish school or develop the skills to hold a higher paying job. And a fair amount of it does have to do with the family you are born into. While some people are able to over come poverty, many are not. Those people started with fewer options and find it harder to be able to find better paying jobs. [/quote]

Thank you. This was incredibly thoughtful, and definitely includes my experience. I stayed home during the week then worked all weekend for years til our child was old enough for school. My partner has a higher earning job but it wasn’t enough to cover all of our expenses. So we worked opposite schedules for years. I’m now working more but my income is still modest for this area. I’m self employed and a skilled professional, but lack a degree. Life got in the way. Technical school was something I could do and still work. I love my career, I feel fortunate. Money is important, but it isn’t everything. [/quote]
