WE ARE THE 1 PERCENT

.
We are the 1 percenters. We worked hard to get here. Now people want to disrupt our work and take our money because they do not have what we have. We are the students who studied hard for our exams and made useful things during our free time. We are the ones who saved money instead of buying luxuries. We are the ones who invest in companies so that they have money to hire people like you. We do not blame the government, investors, and others for our problems. If we do not have a job, then we go out and learn useful skills, and find a job that needs someone with those skills. Or we create our own job and work for ourselves. We don't waste time whining about our problems. We go out and solve them.

Well, I am a 25year old, who comes from a “wealthy” family, by wealthy I mean I don’t qualify for student aid or other government hand outs. My parents could probably pay for my college, but i have always been a self sufficient person. Out of high school I went to trade school to be a mechanic, even though it was not what i wanted to do as a career. Once done there I went to college, during this time I have not made a lot of money, but I have saved a little out of each pay check. I used the money i saved to a top rated engineering school, but because of all these idiots trying to bring down capitalism,there may not be a big demand for educated people, so I’ll probably end up sweeping streets with a PhD like they do in Spain, or I will just move to a country that favors capitalism.

As for you, you’ll do fine. Everyone starts at the bottom. Don’t expect to get a high-paying job right away. Just keep working at it until this economy turns around. And you’ll end up fine. Don’t stress about it. Just focus on finishing school.
