I often think about this. If my parents (solid middle class) hadn‘t paid for my studies and if they wouldn’t have had the means to support me for the time after that, when I started a company which took about two years to sustain itself (and me), I would probably still crunch out code somewhere as a low level dev.
Thanks mom and dad!

I joined the military, got a trade there, and now in my early/mid 30's I'm completing a CS degree. Working for others isn't such a bad life if you have the drive to establish a life that you want for yourself.
