The point you missed, Ernest
The sentence before your selection reads: "Neither one of us had a job, because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time." That single sentence blows any claims of working after school out of the water.
At that time, not many Americans had a father who could buy them stock; heck, it's still that way. NONE of my classmates when I was in college had money of their own; we were all there on scholarships, loans, help from Mom & Dad, or our own sweat. None of us were able to sell stocks to make living expenses. I know any birthday money I got while growing up never exceeded five dollars. I suspect Mitt's "birthday money" greatly exceeded that amount.
I grew up with nothing but family. What I've had since I was about 15, I have worked for and earned. No financial help from Mom, Dad, or anybody. If Mitt had done that, I might believe he understands what it's like to start from nothing. I'm sure he thinks he does. But the record speaks for itself: any claim that Mitt Romney is a self-made man who started from nothing falls flat in the face of the facts.
