Seems they did ok. The own franchises, they own business', they became doctors amd lawyers, they are famous athletes and actors. Many are super wealthy. Maybe there is no problem ???
This is actually an interesting post to me. When I was 18 years old I was working at Radio Shack and I hated it. I also felt kind of trapped there.

There was a guy that came in regularly and bought little parts. He dressed nice, had a nice car and appeared to be a pretty successful guy. One day we were talking and he tells me that he worked at Radio shack when he was my age and it gave him a good base to go on and do other things with.

That was almost like a light bulb going off in my head. It was kind of like the idea that there more out there and that this is just the beginning and far from the end. Form there pretty much every job I had I aspired to quit the day I started working there. I knew I was only there to learn new things and move up. My life took some strange turns including working as a music journalist, moving to a few different cities and eventually selling porn online, but during all of those times I have always looked for a way to improve and move up.

Sadly, a lot of people don't have that moment or they don't think about things like that. For many they just see it as the end of the line and the dead end job that they are stuck in.
