No knock on you and I congratulate how well you're doing, but I laugh a little when I hear people with success stories say.... "If only you did this... this... this..."
Does one ever consider that they did? Or perhaps that they followed another model of paths to success (perhaps from their parents, friends, etc) and did not yield the result desired?

i agree with you. i have been very fortunate to have a good head on my shoulders and a little bit of luck and a good handshake to get to where i am now and where im heading. i didnt follow any footsteps, i just sorta found my way thru the mess, with good ears and picking up little bits of advice anywhere i could.
but on the same token, there are tens of thousands of people pouring into business and finance and god forbid arts programs every year. surely they must have heard stories of people 2-4 years ahead of them coming out with no jobs available. would it not make sense to listen to those stories of no jobs, and try doing something else?
in any case, i think ive dragged this topic away from where it was. as i said a page or 2 back, i absolutely agree there needs to be a change with the way the government and banks and investors are run. im just making a point about these kids using the protests as an excuse to complain about sucking at life and how its not their fault. and obviously theres a good chunk of people coming from below middle class with legit reasons, im not talking about them.
