>>12588634I was dirt poor. First person in my family to get a Bachelors and first to get a Masters. I grew up using outhouses in Appalachia. Dad had me kill my first chicken to eat when I was 6. Nothing was given to me other than about two years of Pell grants. My parents made 13K a year when I started college in '92. I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but I built this life on hard work and busting ass. Maybe 15 years later it would have been different but I doubt it
