More Words, Deeper Hole

I never had a job until I was in university, and I don't feel I personally was either rich* or particularly privileged -- I grew up in a quasi-rural area three miles from the nearest bus stop, am disabled, and generally had no reliable access to a car. That pretty much meant I couldn't get a job until I was living on my own in the city...

(* Frexample, my parents were fairly wealthy but I had to beg to get new pairs of shoes when the old ones wore out; my dad's favourite tactic was to glue the soles back on the uppers with lumpy hot glue instead.)
