Achieving Success

In “RIP, the Middle Class: 1946-2013” by Edward McClelland, he talks about how America started off in this awesome economy where everyone was making roughly the same amount and you didn’t even need a college degree because jobs were so readily available for kids right out of high school. This didn’t last for very long because of inflation and everything else which means that many people started losing their jobs and making money became a more and more difficult thing. Even with it still being rather hard to find a job out of college, I believe that if you try your hardest and work with everything you have, you can achieve success. I was taught from a young age that if you give whatever you do in life your all, you will find a way and everything will work out. Nothing comes easy in life and if you want something you’re going to have to put in effort to achieve it. If you want a job that makes $80,000 a year then you’re going to have to go to college, and work your butt off to get the grades and eventually get your degree. The things you do in college, such as extra curricular activities and internships also help determine your success. If you put in the effort and time, the results will pay off.
