    I worked my way out of poverty so although I agree with you, I think the wording needs specificity.

    You cannot work your way out of poverty by working harder at a poverty job. You have to switch jobs and grow your skill set until you become a valuable enough commodity to trigger competition for you.

    That just gets you out of poverty.

      Im saying, you can spend every day working very hard but that alone will not get you out of poverty. There are always political and social menuevrors you have to do or hit the lottery.
