In "RIP the middle class:1946-2013" McClelland say the middle class has been getting smaller over the years. Back in the day it was easy to jump from high school into a job that can actually support you and a house and such. Now things are much different. The majority of jobs now require some college and degrees. Before you could drop out and still make bank, but now its all competitive and they pay is usually low enough that you cant afford much anymore. As the times grow so should people. We have to realize that we have to work harder to achieve " the American dream". You have to go through with school, work hard for grades so you can get into a good college, then bust it to make it through college so you can get a better job with good pay. Its not as easy as It once was.
In “Nickel, and Dimed” by Barbara Echrenreich she proves that hard work is worth it. Working hard can get you to high places. She worked as a maid for 25 bucks and the people she worked for kept more than half of what she made. She stuck it out and ended up starting her own business. Something to show for her hard work. You have to work hard and never give up.
