Since they may have never gone to college, they may believe that college is not for them. They may also view the rich as coming from a different world and not aspire to reach that level.

This implies that if a person wants to be successful in anything, they should look for something that really fulfills them. This important in making career choices. Many people do jobs that do not intrinsically satisfy them despite the fact that the jobs are well paying. People are advised to make a living out of their hobby. This is because that is something that they enjoy and would not be bored. This applies to the school set up. Students should choose courses in which they have an interest in and which they believe that their career will arise.
