I grew up in a family of 4 (3 adults) who lived off of a single unemployment check and food stamps for 3 years. Multiple people I knew in high school have been shot in gang related activities.

When you're poor and you don't want to be poor anymore, you choose to do things that give you financial security. Drug dealers turn into accountants. Kids who want to get in and out of college in 4 years choose to go into computer science.

Interests being innate is a huge fallacy that people who have not had to handle situations like this believe.
