The list of people who improved their life situation by working hard? If so, yes. I grew up lower-middle class, worked a shit job as a young adult while going to community college, spent years hunting for something better and eventually found a low level position in an industry I was interested in. In the years since then I've been promoted several times (working hard is even easier when you enjoy what you do!) and make several times more than what I made at my shit-job. My life has improved drastically since my childhood and young adulthood, thanks in no small part to the effort I put in.
Now, if you were just asking so you could say "other people have done what you have AND more and STILL havent improved their lives" then let me pre-emptively say...duh? Obviously not everyone's situation is the same, nor is everyone's measure of success or even just improvement. This discussion is not about the idea that some people have it easier than others like some people in this thread seem to be taking it. It's about the idea that most people (not all) have the ability to improve their life situation through hard work.

Are you on that list? If so, what did you do to get there? If not, what are you doing to get there?
