I can't agree with you more. I hate to cite myself as an example but.. I am the least knowledgeable on this form and I have never been very good at learning technical stuff. I was not born with the silver spoon.. just the opposite.. throughout my childhood saw my father only in prison; and my mother - a factory worker - could only provide for very basic needs (an odd jewish family <g>). The opportunity I got was when I was able to come to the US; this was a big one. But the main thing is effort/grit. I am not in the proverbial 1% but happy to be where I am.
You should be very proud of yourself and how much you have accomplished.
BTW, when I was gowing up, my Jewish father (a Holocaust surviver) was a window maker at Forest City Materials, so I know where you are coming from <s>.
