Finished college right out of highschool and began the CONSTANT effort of moving up. Always. Was a little lucky too, stumbled into a good field (tech writing/editing), finally got a break into it (took years), learned skills and became good at tasks that no one else wanted to do, but are vital to a tech pubs dept.
In short, a LOT of hard work and a decent bit of luck. I think hard work makes the luck, you know? I went without a lot to get where I am now. Many don't care to sacrifice for years without a gauranteed return, but that's what you gotta do.
