Ignorance does not make a person poor. What makes a person poor is lack of education. Even more important, is ambition. If you lack ambition, and goals, then you will go nowhere. I have met people who came from rich backgrounds, and went nowhere, and I have met people who started out with nothing, and built successful companies, and have provided themselves with a good living. It is all in how you live your life, attain your goals. If you have a dream, a desire, and some ambition, then you will get where you are going. It doesn't matter what rung of the economic ladder you start out on. The SBA has many grant programs to help those who don't necessarily have the means to start their own business. There are many paths to success, both personal, financial, and spiritual. Stick to your dreams, never change who you are, and don't compormise. Success is for everyone's taking.... you have to want to take it.......

If anything I would say ignorance makes someone rich. If you are ignorant to the riches of the world (both material and spiritual) wouldn't you then be happy with what you had? It is bliss as the saying goes...

A lack of education keeps more people poor than a good education.
And a 4 year liberal arts degree is NOT an education....

There are a multitude of ignorant persons who happen to have a great deal of money. It's more about not letting someone tell you no.

No . Sometimes circumstance . Sometimes lack of ambition , or no goals . Not taking an opportunity that comes your way . It's usually in your hands to change your life

I think it's the other way around - poverty makes people ignorant - stats show poorer nutrition, higher stress, etc., screw kids over for school, it probably follows...
