“The man” was keeping him down, I see. here he had two parents who worked their butt’s off so he and his sister could attend some of the best school’s around.
Maybe the fumes from the Dry Cleaning business made him crazy. It certainly makes me ill whenever I take my husband’s shirts in!
Why? Prestige? Status? Or just a better standard of living? Hopefully the latter, but ultimately even that is a poor decision. There's a correlation between a college degree and earning potential, but it's not necessarily a causal relationship. Personally, I could care less if my kids even go to college. I'm all for education, which is why I'm indifferent to schooling.
