I think the idea that poor people can't improve their lot in life is condescending garbage. Life is tough and it's very easy to get stuck in an ugly cycle, but there is always a path to something better.
All humans contain tremendous potential for self actualization and being harvesters of change. I know the playing field is very far from even and their isn't room for everyone in the stars. But if Elon Musk or Bill gates can revolutionize the world with their ideas, surely you can do better than "job I hate for money".

There's a reason that there are only a handful of guys like Musk and Gates.
These threads always go the same way. People who love their jobs come in here and act incredulous that anyone can function in the world that doesn't have their dream job. It's easy to say if you have your dream job. Hell, some people probably have no idea what a dream job is, let alone the resources to make it happen.
It is so much more complicated than to just say "try hard and sacrifice". The condescending part is acting like people who work jobs they don't love have no ambition and have settled in life.
I hope no one is stuck in a job they hate and if they are, I hope it's for a good reason. But I'm not gonna condescend to them and say they just need to pull up their boot straps and make it happen.
