If you had any of those, you would not be poor. Some of those only require a 2 year degree. Anyone poor in this country can go to Collage for free. All they have to do is put the effort into going.

I see it all the time. I go to family reunions, and my relatives talk about money, and wishing there job paid more. When I ask if they have thought about collage, they say things like "No, collage is not for me".

Well, you don't want to put the effort into not being poor, why should anyone else?

Oh, and I am not the exception to the rule, I am the rule. Anyone who goes to collage, gets a degree in something useful, and is still poor, is the exception. It's not hard at all to not be poor, people just don't want to do what it takes to not be poor.
