The problem with academic success is that message doesn't resonate with everybody

I was ****in clueless in school as to what I wanted to be when I grew up. I had to be forced into the work force before i truly learned about work ethic and which kinds of jobs I like better than others.

In school I just ****ed off. Hardly showed up. Got in trouble.

It's a hard sell for a lot of kids to say dedicate yourself to the books so that hopefully some day eventually the **** will pay off and you'll get some money out of it.

Where as $15 /hr right now is very easy to understand the incentive behind. Selling dope right now and making more money than the average worker with a high school diploma is easy to understand the incentive behind.
