If you are boorn into a family or poor laborers, all you have known is hard work, you have few resources, do you expect to be a Dr. or Lawyer or CEO. those are alien concepts to a poor person who worries about having enough food to eat tomorrow, and enough money to pay the next rent.
The ability to work hard is a valuable resource. One, in fact that many of the well-off children are less apt to have.

There are too many instances of poor folk ataining lofty heights to know where to start. Justice Thomas's father was a farm worker in Gerogia...

BTW, I make good money as an engineer, and I worry about food and the mortgage too. Everybody is in my pockets! I have nothing left for us.
