Thanks for pointing that out; I didn't mean to imply that only people with serious advantages get left behind

"you might just come from a social/family background that encourages you to take a job as soon as you finish high school and you get stuck at you minimum wage job."

Not only that, but before finishing high school as well. A lot of people forget that 15% or so of adults (25 or older, I believe) don't have a high school diploma or GED.
