[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in an upper-middle class family and we had more than most people. That being said, I have held a job everyday since I was 15 even had 3 jobs in college. I am self sufficient and don't rely on my parents or others for support.

Honestly, you come across as "entitled". I grew up in a poor family, and when I got a job at fourteen I realized that I was very fortunate. [b]One of the problems for poor teenagers is that they don't have the kind of connections that let them get that first job[/b].[/quote]

Um you sound like an entitled blamer.

I grew up as a poor teen and got my first job the second I turned 14 and could get a work permit (yes, this needs to be done prior to working at 16).  I WALKED into a few fast food restaurants, filled out applications, and ended up getting a job at Roy Rogers.  I had no "connections" nor was I full of excuses.  All my young life I looked at rich people and told myself that I was going to be them someday.  I took the steps that THEY took and I have everything I dreamed of now.

Being an excuse maker just makes you a loser full of excuses.

There is very good reason my parents were poor:

1. Teen mom who never worked, but still had 3 children.
2. Lazy dad that could never hold down a jpob longer than a few months
3. POOR financial decisions surrounding credit cards
4. In a nutshell, white trash.[/quote]
