I don't believe it. I think you're just too lazy to get up off your ass and do the real work required. The licenses are only an issue to people that aren't willing to put the hours in. There are illegal spics selling burritos without food handlers' licences all around Tucson. You have to start small and build up. The problem with people today is that they think they should be at their dad's earning potential level right out of the gate. Yes, it's a hard, brutal fucking game, but the original pioneers of this land had to fight of Indian scalpers just to harvest a little bit of wheat and corn. Read Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations where he talks about the ridiculous terms of apprenticeships people had to serve in England before being able to practice a simple trade on their own. It may be a little more difficult then it was 70 years ago, but it's a lot easier than it was 250 years ago. Things ebb and flow with the generational cycles but the overall economic trend is upwards. You can't convince me you have less opportunity than an average man from 250 years ago. Stop worrying about your dad's money and go out and do something for yourself.
