Believe it or not, I worked my way through college and put myself through grad school. Neither one was Ivy League but grad school was Northwestern. Yes, it was a lot less expensive back then and so too were houses. The latter were much more affordable as a % of income than they are today.
Being older, I just got an earlier start that’s all.
The most awesome story of tenacity & grit was the one about the little girl who lived on the subway – on her own – for a couple of years & won the 1st NY Times college scholarship & went to Harvard & did well.

I think Etson summed up what I’m trying to say much more elloquently.
Social mobility is possible, but much more difficult nowadays.
Where are the chefs today?
