Re: Chance of at least middle-class lifestyle in US
Assuming no Vo-Tech in High School?
I'm glad you brought this up. I was thinking of a quote that I agree with last night. Can't think of who said it or the exact wording, but it was something like: "if you don't have anything beyond a high school diploma, then you shouldn't expect to live a middle class lifestyle." (See, I am not that liberal)
Depends on the creativity or charisma of the individual.
If you can do tattoos or juggle professionally, then you can be middle class.
If you can sell cars or wait tables at a fancy restaurant, then you can be middle class.
If you can only lift boxes or work at 7-11, then you better find a cheap apartment and some roommates.
