I'd say that you just described about 90% of the nations working class

Working class? I started picking shade grown tobacco at age 14 and
did that until I was 16 when I worked in a super market after school
and on week-ends until I graduated high school and got a job at Armour
Star Co. Joined the Navy and went up the ranks very quickly because I
did my job well. And, I was poor, a helluva lot more poor than a
North Cacklacky working class person. Retired and worked my ass off
to get promoted from technician, to engineering associate and finally
to engineer. When I took a buy-out in 1992, I then worked for a
driving school (part time). Working class? I think I'm working
class, always have been. I am not in the stupid class, however, like
you. There is no reason why you couldn't have planned your life a
little better. No reason what so ever.
I tried to give you some advice about your future, but I'm betting it
went in one ear and out the other, sort of like all the advice you've
ever received.
Disrespectful of janitors? Hell no. My dad was a truck driver and my
mom a retail clerk. I respect any man that has a job and is feeding
his family. You missed my point, but there is no sense in trying to
explain it to you.
Enjoy your life, Mark. I'm glad you are alive, but you need to stop
your petty belly-aching. You tales of woe are becoming hackneyed.
