I am in no way saying that everybody has an equal chance in that respect.
And yes, in some areas there are no opportunities and little hope, but as you say our circumstances are not typical, so is that other end of the spectrum not typical.
I do take exception to that remark, however.
Luck, in my circumstances, has nothing to do with it. Work, and making the most of opportunities that are presented.
What's the famous phrase, "the harder I work the luckier I get."
Good luck with your new venture.

Ignition I respect for admitting luck played a role, you wont admit that.
You were lucky that you was around in the right position for when your opportunity came up. working hard guarantees nothing, it doesnt even guarantee you will keep your job.
Also 2/3 of the population get some form of benefit claimants, thats the typical situation.
