Actually arn, growing up as I did - a poor black child in Bogalusa, Louisiana - didn't provide many opportunities for "upward mobility". We were so poor we couldn't afford to pay attention!
I thought being a world-class sprinter might help, but alas, after I turned my ankle tripping over the family dog (who some months later became a family dinner) the insurance business was my only way out.
As they say, I'm entering the "twilight of a mediocre career".
