I started working fast food and then went on to driving a forklift in a warehouse. Fast forward 5.5 years later, i'm entering the last year of my masters in engineering, and just accepted a full time job offer at a firm i've been wanting to get in for the past 3 years. I was never the fastest running, and no where near the smartest cookie. It's called work ethic and grit. Only in America

[@jomontanee]

KUDO, sir! So happy for you.

[@frankiesmom8478]

Don’t you appreciate success more with zero handouts, congrats to you

[@DIYApprentice]

I felt stuck in my early-20's. My wife barely spoke English, and we lived in a one-bedroom apartment with no furniture other than a mattress on the floor and a rickety wicker chair. We were using a credit card to buy groceries at one point and borrowing $50 at a time from my mom. I got turned onto self-improvement books and we started pushing. Years later, we both have degrees and good jobs, and we're now 13 days from starting baby step 6. It's amazing looking back on those crazy times.

Anna Marie Campbell came to USA from Jamaica when she was 18. No money no education no friends no connections. She was starting from scratch. She applied for a part time job at Home Depot and got hired. She worked hard and loved her job. She stuck with it thru thick and thin and got promoted. Now 30yrs later she is in charge of ALL USA Home Depot stores and gets paid about $2,000,000 a year.

I was a young single mother without much family support. I decided to go back to school and the lady I babysat for said I could not do it. I did go back! I now have a BS in nursing and am a registered nurse. I have been able to support my son just fine. During school we were really broke but I knew it was temporary and never felt poor. I was just in transition. One of my many embarrassing memories was that I had only 2 pairs of pants while I was in school. I rotated them with different shirts. I remember one fall I only had $20 to buy my son school clothes. I found him several shirts and shorts at the clearance rack at Walmart and they were fine for a few months ( it was still hot in Southern CA). After I got married I went back and got a Masters in Public Health in Health Education. With the confidence from all my schooling I have started a KZbin cooking channel (for my dad!). I had to keep learning new skills to do that to. I am still learning new things all the time! New knowledge and new skills opens new opportunities!

I'm a liberal. But I've been trying to get my coworker to get unstuck. He has been working one job since he got out of high school. He is always so negative. He is a good person but it as painful to be around his bellyaching. I convinced him to put applications out to other places, he has. Now I have to convince him to follow up on them. "You're competing against hundreds of people, show them that you care and want the position." Climbing is an action. Sitting in one place is less action. Take steps, be proactive, and jump.

[@Nat-gh2tt]

@Sith'ari Azithoth you can say the same about conservatives. The Republican party has been hijacked by evangelicals, racists, misogynists, homophobes and fascists. RIP to John McCain. I didn't always agree with him but he was a good man and the last "real" Republican in the senate.

[@peartfaldo]

Why do you guys HAVE to identify as something? Stop dividing everybody up. Just be a human that takes care of himself and family. Work..live on less than you make and mind your own business. Oh and if you need more....WORK MORE!!!!! DUH!!!!! Go get a part time job at a grocery store instead of just coming home and sitting in front of the TV feeling sorry for yourself.

Ask to us! Immigrants who came with nothing in our pockets but a head full of ideas to make it better. One of my supervisor while I was working 12 hrs at day in a technology company, make a question he ask, how did you want to earn your money ? The hard way or the smart way. That made a click in my head since then, I learn how to improve my life and my family too, no matter how much I earn, how I spended is what it matters. Low income and for long time just my husband income, but together taken care of everything God put in our hands no big savings for retirement but no debt either. Now that I found you Dave Ramsey, my kids have a big chance of be first generation of millionaires in my family tree. God bless you!!

[@TheQtip96]

say what you want about Walmart, but they pay $11/hr and they hire pretty much anyone. So does Lowes and Home Depot. I'm always surprised at the people who still decide to work at Taco Bell when they can just as easily work at any of these retail stores for about $2 more per hour. And honestly, $11/hr is really not too bad for a job that doesn't require a degree or predefined skills. I live in a small town in Tennessee myself and where I'm from, $11/hr for a person in their early 20's is pretty alright.

Can we get a list of the 25 books he sent.

[@timeapenzes1793]

I could recommend books to read from one of the most famous American writer and lecturer in self-improvement, salesmanship, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. His name is Dale Carnegie (1888-1955). Born into poverty on a farm in Missouri, he was the author of the bestselling "How to win friends and influence people ", "How to stop worrying and start living", "Make yourself unforgettable- How to become the person everyone remembers and no one can resist", "How to enjoy your life and your job", "Develop self-confidence, improve public speaking". I believe the list isn't complete. You can purchase these books cheap from Amazon's.

I’m not Marcel, but I was making a bit less than he was at this time as a single dad. After going to school for four years at a community college for a two year technical degree, I’ve nearly doubled my income. Now I’ve decided to set a goal to generate income from home on my own schedule that will allow me to spend more time with my son and become a millionaire in the next ten years. Dave is my spirit boomer.

I understand what he's getting at, however, the amount of people that are looking for higher paying jobs exceeds the jobs available. When I went for my job there was roughly 10 000 applicants for 37 spots. There's people with university degrees working at Starbucks.
