I have a useful degree from a land grant university that I paid for with blood, sweat, pain, (that was the football) and otherwise having a job, and promising myself to serve after graduation.
I have a useful Masters that I got from a large private institution that I did on my own time and own dime.
I took an unglamorous job that entailed hard work, lots of travel, and not a little bit of danger... in order to make a decent living. I lived and worked in some really crappy conditions - but it was fun, nonetheless.
I've got a damn good job now - because I was willing to do what I did for 24 years.
I don't own a cell phone, a smart phone, or a tablet computer of any kind. Yet I manage to get by with a landline and here I am on the internet.
I've got a fully-functional howitzer named "Heimdall."
I own all twenty volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary in hardback, and I actually use it.
I am the 0.00001%.
