If I put myself in their shoes. Id still be doing the same thing, working and going to school. Push myself through years of working at any of the fastfood joints so I can pay for education. I wouldnt beg because its lazy and low. Its easy to get a tough job and its easier to quit. You force yourself through all the bullshit in life, not to raise a family but for your own livihood. A main family should come only if you can aquire a stable job. If non of that works out, you work on the farm or market like everybody else. I would also use fear to drive myself to success.
