It's not psychological. It's time. If you're taking the bus to work and/or working more than one job, you on average can't spare the time (and energy) for training and events. Furthermore, there's the cost of the gear, event entry fees, etc.
The fact that rich (white) people spin the issue as "psychology" is simply another example of their disconnect.
Sad. But true.
- coldtea 5y agoYep. Rich people deal only with the things they chose to deal, even when "working" (starting from decising what they work on, and whether they want to work at all -- many rich people give up CEO meetings and the like to managers and trusted people and spend most of the year having fun - not that you'll hear about them, since they spoil the image of the hard working rich). In other words, if Bezos - or any lesser multimillionaire - wishes to delegate something, he delegates it. The non-rich don't have that luxury, and this is exhausting.
- GaryTang 5y agoAnd I guess all the people that prove otherwise are just “outliers” right? There is a non-zero amount of people without privilege that contribute their success to psychological factors whether you like it or not.
