[quote=Anonymous]16:53 I think you pinpoint one of the more important issues about some well off kids. They just can't imagine a world of not just privilege but extreme privilege. I am white but went to inner-city schools and paid my own way through undergraduate at a state school and have enormous debts from graduate school at American. I found my years at American to be a bit of nightmare because so many kids just had no concept of what it was like not to have the latest, mommy and daddy paying rent in a nice building and not working. I ultimately did not pursue the work I wanted to do because I what I found when I got my degree was that there so many of these kids who could afford to not work for decent wages in the non-profit world that I could not survive. It may have also been an indication that I did not have a strong enough desire to be poor any more... [/quote]
