Education, Money, and Self-Respect

I was recently watching the show Tiny and Toya, and I have come to the conclusion, that in the corrupt world that we live in, it is possible to be rich without an education. Toya recently went to an interview where she expressed that she has never worked a day in her life. Later on in the episode, she goes on a major shopping spree for her daughter without a single thought on whether or not she has the money. This to me is just plain unfair. Maybe I'm hating , but why is it that I am DEAD BROKE, working my butt off at Spelman College and Toya, on the other hand, drives a RANGE ROVER. WHAT THE HECK?!?!?! This doesn't make any sense to me. This is the perfect example of the rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer.

In my personal life, I know of individuals who have obtained a masters degrees and are still being laid off. Why is it that the educated individuals are not maintaining good jobs and the uneducated are "rollin in dough"? Life is not fair. Where is my football star, rapper, or actor? According to the Tiny and Toya show I have to marry a rap star in order to enjoy the finer things in life.

Reflecting on this subject, I have come to the conclusion that women like Tiny and Toya have nothing to fall back on. Tiny is still waiting on TI to marry her (if you like it then you should've put a ring on it) and Toya is dwelling on Lil' Wayne (who has multiple baby mommas). Now I'm not trying to judge these women, but I can't help but to ask...WHY?

I wish these two women the best and I pray that God blesses them in everything that they do. Me on the other hand, I am learning to appreciate my self-respect and self-worth. In addition, I am blessed to have the opportunity to provide for myself.
