"Pull yourself up by your bootstraps".
I know a guy, diagnosed with a learning impairment at a young age, started working for a farmer in high school, learned a skill from him (farmers have all kinds of skills), went to community college to improve that skill, had various jobs doing construction or demolition, they trained him to operate heavy equipment. He is now making $40/hr, more if he is willing to go bigger, and can't even buy alcohol yet.
So for all those saying it can not be done... YES IT CAN. But it does not happen overnight; it takes willingness to be a servant for a time, motivation to learn and take responsibility, and a vision for what you can do. Attitude makes a huge difference.
I know multiple stories of people working fast food, put in the leadership/manager track. Once you have established manager experience, you can go a lot of places and move up easily.

How are the chances now if you are a cis huwite male, all entry level manual labor jobs are given to Mexicans and blacks, tech jobs given to pajeets.
