Whatever dude I never said you didn't work hard and never had an issue with your finanicial status thats deadz, but from our perspective, when a guy talks about owning a business in a third world country, and then talks about studying for a phd in the states, that don't sound like hard work dude, but the score of a lifetime, the same with working for your family and trying to say that you've payed your way from school, and it looks like your trying to appear as if your doing it on your own.
I never said, I paid for school myself? When did I ever say that?
Undergrad, by my parents
Masters, by my work
Phd, tuition is waived because I'm working as a graduate student assistant on campus.
Mikmaq, before I moved back to the US to go back to grad school, I was working fulltime in our company, and it was my life. 6 days a week, 8am to 8 pm with 2 hour commutes daily for a year to get to a project site. Meeting with clients at midnight, trying to start the gym business on the side, and traveling the world to meet suppliers and partners, which albeit was fun, but still took up a big chunk of my time. This virtual management from overseas only came recently when I went back to school.
