our family started out on welfare, i did not want my life to go that way so most of my life i have worked some of the dirtiest jobs you can think of, well both my brother and sister who have the same mother as i do, are on full benifits for welfare and are trying for social security, so my question is how does ecomic level decide where or what a person is going to be

I think it can influence a person, either to go one way or to be determined to go the other way--depends on the personality.

Lack of money has nothing to do with having a criminal record.
Martha Stewart has a criminal record.
Sometimes growing up in an environment or neighborhood where crime is a norm can influence someone to live a criminal life.
Good for you wanting to live a life free from any wrong doing.
The key to having a good life that you can be self supporting is to have a good education.
You can be any thing you want to be but you have to be willing to make the sacrifice for it.
If you want to be a doctor then you know you have to be well educated. To do that you have to study beyond the normal studies to make not good grades but excellent grades.

Ecomic level does't decide where or what a person is going to be, you decide, keep your day job and get a PT sales job that pays a high commission, dont take no for an answer and youll make it big.

I know that people hit hard times in their life. But I don't think that anyone that can work should be on welfare. They need to get a job and do better. You must have a good head on your shoulders. Congrats and good luck.

The economic background is just one piece of the pie of your success.
Apparently you've overcome what has been a debilitating situation for your siblings.
Hard work, perseverance, ethics, morals, determination, etc. So many things make a successful person successful.

Empathy.
You don't have to live a dirty life to feel soiled. You are learning from those around you.
Economic level is a non-issue. Money doesn't buy morality.
Poverty doesn't earn morality.
Work to improve yourself. Work to improve the lives in your community.

It doesn't fully. It's partly what you are born with and partly what you experience and how you look at what you've experienced! Congratulations on being the only successful person in your family!!! You should be so proud of yourself!!

it all depends on the individual. it sounds like you are a person who strives for better and perhaps have learned by the mistakes of others.
