Life is like a lottery and some people lose right at the very beginning. If you are born in a very poverty stricken location, your whole life will be a battle and even making it out of childhood is a challenge. Then again if you are born in the middle class in places like North America or Europe, then you have a much greater possibility of moving up in society. However it is very easy to go wrong in life or be pulled the opposite way to success. Some kids will not realize how important education is until the opportunity has passed them by. In an increasingly competitive and globalized world many jobs outside of the service industry can be sent offshore, so you have to be particularly highly skilled or expect to be competing with overseas experts who have a cheaper cost of living.
It’s really challenging coming from a poor background and you feel the need within you to climb up the social hierarchy. It comes with a different level of burden, you just know you ain’t got the chance to fail in all you do and as such, you just hope to perfect every step and not let the burden drag you down. For some, it does pull them down, they just accept the fact that, they are below in everything and are more focused on surviving rather than living a better life, it’s messed up. People with these mindset are easily found in gangs and trafficking all kind of shits. It doesn’t matter where you find yourself though, you just need to know how to find opportunities about you.
