I have this burning desire to go to trade school and learn engine / car repair. Like, I'm 47, I am weak AF, I have fibromyalgia, and $80k in student debt. Obvs I am not going to do this.
🇳🇱
@warkittens so apprentice with someone and learn it for free?
@freemo
When I'm not unemployed again such if hopefully sometime soon, I am too exhausted after work to do that.

@warkittens fair. Point is, you can do whatever you dream one way or another, you got this.
@warkittens I started from nothing and grew up in abject poverty. Not saying its easy or there isnt a problem, just saying there are way more exceptions to this than you realize.
@freemo
If I didn't live in the US, I would agree. It's just nearly impossible here to have a dream with no support of a spouse or family. I don't have savings or generational wealth. Gotta work til I die, man. That's what we have over here.
There was a time when you could start with nothing, but everyone who "starts from nothing" here now, if you look into it, has familial wealth, a spouse, etc.
