Maybe L.A. is expensive, but if that is where i grew up...
You completely missed the point I was making.
I don't think I had it 'that rough'
I'm saying I don't have a lot of pity for people who sit and whine about how rough things are when they aren't doing any thing to better themselves. And have you been to the schools in L.A.? Please. The school system in los angeles is famous for being trash. Fine, train these 'homeboyz'. I'm just saying that I HONESTLY believe that if these gang members or headed into gang people wanted to get an education, they could. It wouldn't be handed to them though, they would have to work for it. Some days I wish that I came from a rich family that could have just sent me to school. Most days I'm glad that I'm not nearly as snobby as most of the people I get to work with in corporate America. At least I appreciate what I have.
And P.S. Im currently looking for a decent job in a smaller town that would allow me to pay off these wonderful student loans. I never said L.A. is all that, it just happens to be where I live. Only problem is in the current economy, no one wants to give a job to someone that isn't in the area, and most of those jobs are taken anyways. I havent been in the work force long enough.
