[Dan27278]

I am a real life example of the transistion from the lower class to the middle class due to education. My family is from a lower class ‘blue color’ culture and feel that anyone who has money or has an education is considered uppity. I found a way to put myself through school and attain a double major in business Bachelor degree. I am now comfortably employed by an insurance company, married and a home owner. I live the typical middle class life. The biggest challenge I had to overcome in the transisiton were not the finances or the actual work, but the lack of mentoring and the emotional maturing that grown adults in my family never modeled. I am glad I made mistake s and learned from them. One mistake I am glad I did not make is listening to my family or others and pursued my desire to obtain an education. Linda, you hit the nail on the head and thanks for sharing your insight.
