    Took me a solid 25 to make it to middle class. Got one of those expensive degrees for an industry with “high average pay”, however they don’t tell you you’re working for peanuts until you make it. Of course, 9/11 and all the economic downturns/recessions didn’t help.

      I got in during the DotCom crash of 2000 and then had to deal with 2008. Has not been fun.
