Marisa White Chapter 6 Question 6

A quote I found most interesting was "True, people are poor in America because they cannot find good jobs. But that is the symptom, not the illness. They underlying problems is a lack of skills, or human capital." Then he continues to talk about the importance of getting an education and how that's what leads to acquiring jobs that pay better (not just flipping burgers), ultimately leading to a more successful life. I find this important because as of right now we are all in high school getting an education and this part of the chapter is proof of what we have dedicated years of our lives to do will (most likely) pay off. Also I think that it's encouraging to know that we are so fortunate to live in this country where we have the opportunity to learn as much as we would like to unlike kids, teenagers, and even some adults in other countries don't get the chance, forcing them into poverty.
