HI,
If I can add a little something here - I think your in the best of situations ! Can it get any worse ?? If you think your so low the only way is the way upwards !
Think about it How would you want to see yourself 5 Years from now
1) As a guy born with a silver spoon (connections), who had so much money and then just did not know how to manage it and himself !
2) As a guy who has had almost nothing - but then understood that he needs to have his dreams fulfilled and felt bad for a while ( which is not unusual), but then thought about getting better , and simply was clever enough to know his strengths ( Hard work/ Dedication/ Sharp memory/ Warm in nature etc) and then worked more on his strengths and focussed hard enough to be able to catapult himself into the elite category !!
To add to wise insights from the other posts - I believe your looking at the world from the foothill part of it . Not unusual , we can get real low and that does not feel good. But then am sure you know that most achievers and good, great men / women were there where you are now .. otherwise they would not have gone to where they are now.
You have to pull yourself up and focus and for a while stop thinking about ''studs'' & ''diamonds'' . Trust me - Hardwork, Dedication , Drive to excel and eagerness to learn every single day are not easy things to have but once you have them - Bill Gates / Carlos Slim Helu would want to give you a Job , forget all that as you move forward who knows you could own a business Yourself and many top academic performers would want to get into your unit !
Dream BIG my friend and you would wake up happy to pursue your dreams !!
Dreams apart I would suggest - If your still at college, focus first on your studies, and aim for the best Job you want, In case you don't get it , Go for the one thats available, its only a start , trust me people can stop you from getting into the best Jobs but no can stop you from doing the BEST you can in any Job you take up and that my friend would be your first lesson .
Good Luck.
