Looking through all these stories made me realize that most of these people that are going through these problems are college educated, and it is simply not their fault for not having a roof over their head or food to feed their family.
One of them had a man who spent 3 years working full time as he was still in high school, and graduated at the top of his class with a 3.98 GPA. He went on to college and wasted 60,000 dollars on his education just to be out of work 3 years later due to "non- productivity" because he got ill. His medications cost around 800/a month and there is no point for him to do unskilled work because he would make less then his unemployment checks. He now lives at home in his parents basement.
Ill be honest, i have always thought that those who were unemployed were unemployed for a reason. I figured they either had a drug, alcohol, or gambling problem. Better yet- they just didnt have it in them to go to college and this is the life they've CHOSEN. But reading all these stories and realizing that only 1% are born rich and stay rich i realize that everyone out there has as high of a chance as the other 99% to get a college education and still be out of work or even worse get hurt and be out of the job they worked so hard to get.
