Look kid, you may be lower end of the 10% income level, but reading your rationalizations, you are definitely at the top 10% on the intelligence block.
A sibling of mine went to Harvard, we paid zilch in tuition. I was also a scholar in Univ of California, and I paid no tuition. Our parent's combined income (at the time) is that of a first generation immigrant -- they simply could not pay tuition for any of us. I was not even supposed to go to university, and there were talks if I should enter be an auto mechanic or a dental assistant. I now work for a multi-national company (banking).
As cliche as it sounds, you have to "game" the system and not use socio-economic background as a definite hindrance to realize what you want to be.
All the best.
Thanks dude, I appreciate it.
Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time.
