Most would not or could not understand. And most would not believe it anyway. I had no help. None. Now I split time between two countries.
I’ll admit it, right here and right now, I grew up with some dough.
But as the second generation of a self-made first generation, I learned the value of hard work
And yes, graduate school, and the like,is easier on the nerves when you don’t have to work 4 jobs to pay the tuition

But you still have to do the work!

Nobody passes the exams/ boards for you

Unless we are talking about those Hollywood nutcases and their spoiled kids


I respect and admire all people who strive to succeed and see many examples of those folks right here on TRF


Sorry for the long winded post
