                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Max...I grew up in the projects and raised by a single mom. We were very poor and my only choices after high school were either find a job or join the Army (that's what my friends did). Well since I had a problem with authority I figured the Army might not be a good choice. So I worked in a factory (with my mom) for 9 years (6 years in this factory and 3 in another) and I made $3.65 per hour...I was going to grow up poorer than I already was!<br><br>Well the best thing that could have happened did....I got laid off! I took my severence pay and enrolled in community college...eventually qualified for aid and went to a 4 year college. I ended up getting an assistantship for grad school and I only had to pay for books (I got the assistantship because I excelled in my undergrad..brag..brag  :lol: ). Now I am a teacher...(my friends STLL can't believe that one!)<br><br>My point is that what Wes said is so true...there is drive that the "have not's" sometimes have. The drive to succeed. I am still not rich but I have a retirement to look forward to and I have money to support my guitar addiction!]]></content:encoded>
