Everyone does have a fair crack. Having worked in government welfare and job network I can give you many examples of people dragging themselves out of the gutter to become a great success and also people sabotaging any job offer by being a dick eg (rocking up drunk first day).

I have interviewed 16yo kids whose ambition is to "get me pension". Anyone can be prosperous if they put in the hard yards.
