I knew plenty of people that managed to do that, or better. Most of them did so by working towards it in high school. A smaller percentage just by family connections.

I've never met anyone who did that.

Anyone who managed to work IN HIGH SCHOOL toward a 35k a year job on graduation from high school might as well have hit the lottery. Especially going back a decade or more ago.

These aren't retards who worked at mcdonalds.

I know a guy who got his first professional programming job at 16. I know several people who joined businesses in menial positions as kids and got real jobs in the firms after high school. I even know a few people that started their own businesses straight out of high school and succeeded. Even in 1991 35k wasn't that hard to make.

Disagree. These are all rare exceptions. The lower on the social scale you start from, the rarer they get, too.

Seriously this dude has gone mad. 35k easy to come by? The average male 18-25 does not make 35K a year in 2007, let alone 1991. LMAO.
