<i>If you could create jobs and had the right motivation and ability to do so, you wouldn&#x27;t be filling a job.</i><p>Haha...<p>I&#x27;m happy you believe this.  No sarcasm; it just made me wish that I still did.<p>In this world, merit is judged by more than ability.  Motive, if not aimed perfectly, is a burden that will decrease your chances, not increase them.<p>Background is so important.  My family was totally broken, like one hundred percent shattered.  There is no chance I&#x27;ll be a job creator, no matter how driven.<p>Why can&#x27;t I meet the right people?  Because of what I say when given an initial opportunity.  And why am I not able to say the right things?  Because of the background and context I grew up in.<p>And I&#x27;m not talking about appealing to some rich person and asking for an opportunity.  I&#x27;m talking about meeting peers, or building a team, or any of the things that really matter.<p>One could argue that this situation is mutable, and that it&#x27;s mostly my fault for what I say. Obviously, yes, it&#x27;s my fault for the things I say.<p>But when your whole life has been spent being trained in a certain way, by being in the river of society that pushes us all along, the slipstream that you end up in as a child pretty much makes or breaks your ability to learn how to do anything close to what you&#x27;re suggesting.  To play that game you mention.<p>Enjoy being a job creator.  It&#x27;s an opportunity that you should make the most of, in the stead of all the people who can&#x27;t.
