Message: [QUOTE="Keef, post: 13590856, member: 79279"] More like a growing awareness of how rare and difficult my achievements actually are, a sense of luck, a sense of disbelief that it actually happened, and wondering what could've been different if I'd have been exposed to this career idea sometime before my 20s. Thinking about how there was only one obstacle in my way throughout this journey and it was money. If only I were rich, nothing would be particularly difficult for me. Can you imagine if peoples' potentials were dictated by their abilities rather than what they can afford? So much of a person's psyche is dictated by what they can afford that it results in swaths of our population underachieving due to poverty-induced mental shutdowns, basically. That roadblock could be eliminated, and I know right where to get the funding from. [/QUOTE]
