true... i wont lie, i see Apexx's point, but with that drive or without it, either way u are fucked for most of ur life.... only successful homeless man ever was woody guthrie and that was only cuz he could sing

like, that Northwestern U alum will prolly NEVER have the opportunity to reach the potential of his education because WHO is gonna hire him??? wen there are gonna be tons of others as or lesser qualified who seem to be more stable.....

if u dont have a family that supports u in hard times, and some drastic economic event occurs to u... u could very easily never recover from rock bottom.... (which is exactly wat happened to many of these people... many homeless people either have dead parents, parents that have disowned them, or parents who cant afford to help them out) in many cases, the dying of the parents is wat causes a person to become economically depressed....

i admit there are alot of cases where bums have no lack of drive, altho many are like this after MANY attemps of trying and finally deciding its worthless, but u just cant generalize that at all.... ive seen too many counter circumstances to just say "bums are lazy and dont give a fuck, its their fault"
