I am a son of a single mother, who was a teacher at the time. In a country that was just recently liberated from the soviet union. Trust me, I was not rich.
Started my first company at 20, after dropping out from university. (mom wasn't exactly happy)
Sorry, your excuse doesn't apply.
Unless you want to claim that going to a state-funded university is a privilege, in which case I guess everyone in all the countries where universities are free are privileged?!?
- mgkimsal 6y agoThe term 'privileged' almost becomes meaningless when comparing between different countries/cultures. Yes, compared to many in the US, you were 'privileged' with respect to education, because you had free university-level education provided. This is something that is outside the reach of many who want it here, and for some who get it, they get it with burdensome financial strings attached. So..., in that respect, you were privileged. People in the US are 'privileged' in other respects compared to your circumstances. But using the word 'privileged' as some sort of singular distinctive quality doesn't make much sense.
