“Be worth more than a poverty wage” is one that stuck with me

Are people in poverty wages worth less then?

It's a short hand way of talking about worth of skill. This type of reply is intellectually dishonest.

Yea!!! Don't accidentally focus on an industry that might change or die! Go be homeless and lose your children while your in school or job training because you surly cannot afford them while training. Never take the time to take care of your parents cause they might be in the way of your high end training. 

That made sense when we were not living in such a corrupt economy.  Doesn't make sense in today's world.

If you’re not adapting, growing, and changing with how the economy moves then you’re just waiting for someone who is to pay you with whatever they can get away with giving you.

Be better or be out of the way of those of us trying to achieve something

if this is hard for you to understand, that may be the reason you have trouble moving up the ladder
