Not possible Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 24/08/2011 03:48:05 AM
Just about anyone with normal mental capacity can try hard and make a living for themselves. Unfortunately, however, most people aren't blessed with great intelligence. I am friends with several hardworking, blue collar people who could just never understand anything in school. And that's ok. There are blue collar jobs that pay really well. And for people who just can't get a good paying job, well, life is about choices (I'm a big believer in personal responsibility and free will). They can live but they just won't have the really nice things in life. Unless they can find a sugar daddy/momma :P
