I know a young lady, the daughter of immigrant parents. She grew up poor, worked her way through college. She started in the call center, is now a loan officer, earning 6 figures & just bought her first place, a condo in Long Beach. We talk often as we both started with the firm the same day & we’re in orientation together.
Its because of people like her that I refuse to believe the American dream is dead, most people are screwed do lives of poverty & failure. It’s out there, like generations before, kids today just have to hustle like those before them did.
