I love seeing people complain about not being able to find a good paying job, while they are smoking cigarettes, telling you that they barely made it through high school and they are covered in tattoos. I know people like this.

This is not entirely accurate. Not everyone is raised in a home where they are encouraged to get a good education and become self sufficient. Not everyone is smart enough to get into college. Not everyone has access to trade schools if that is a better fit than college. Not everyone can go into the military if that is their last hope.

Seriously, you must either be too young to know any better, have never been exposed to a wide range of people and their circumstances, or you're just a snob.

Life is not as simple as making good choices when oftentimes choices aren't available for whatever reason.

I'm 49.
