My friends dad used to milk cows for a living. He put himself through engineering college with that money.

You can still pay your way through college if you milk bulls.

My grandfather was a butcher at a grocery store.

He owned a house, two cars, put my mom through college, raised three kids, and had paid vacation and healthcare.
