well one aspect that is not really talked about is confidence, most wealth gained from people who can present their idea confidently, a lot of confidence comes from security. a lot of americans (my family for instance) we’re brought over on a boat with a promise of a better life if we worked for someone, my family was indentured servants who were scammed into working for free when they got here. a few of us died, many never recovered, my parents at a young age got into a terrible crash so i spent most of my childhood taking care of my father instead of the other way around. being raised in a small town that didn’t value university schooling i resulted to working in construction which ended up as damaging my arm and i ended up in serious depression, pain medicine was given to me and i ended up getting addicted because it was the only thing that made me feel normal after the accident. i started coding at a very young age but was diagnosed with add but was never treated so as time went on, it became more and more difficult for me to focus. later on i finally decided to go to school and the first year i was there i had to drop out because i got my gf pregnant. that forced me to go back to construction but ended up quitting after a bad breakup. so yeah we all aren’t starting out the same, some of us have a severe handicap that is hard to explain during interviews
