What a load of BS. I worked 24+ hours a week a Farrell’s Ice Cream during my senior year and never missed a homework assignment. In grad school, I worked 42 hours a week with 16 units of course work each semester. During all the years I attended school, my parents ran the TV or stereo at a high volume level. Sometimes I just had to defer working on my homework until the 10 PM to 2 AM time slot when the noise was gone. I didn’t let that stop me. Losers make excuses.
Right on. No one likes the prospect of having to work hard as well as overcome adversity. I guess the few that manage to overcome will be the only ones who enjoy the fruits of their labor.
