i have a general question on life. if you have no connections whatsoever but you may have talent, can you make it. i'm from europe and i once sent an email to an american professor asking a very specific question regarding my thesis which sounded original but i wanted to ask him if it made any sense. he said he can't go into it, etc. i thought in the states it's all about the quality not money, etc. so, how is it in reality; can you make it if the other person gains nothing from your profit. thanx

In the USA, opportunities tend to come around more often than they do in most other parts of the world. This increases your odds of capitalizing on an opportunity and benefitting from it. But you still need to work hard and do a good job. If you aren't good enough in that respect, having more opportunity won't do you any good.

I sincerely hope that you're not judging the entire American society based on this one response.
Also bare and keep in mind that you don't get something "just because you want it". Not everyone will be as enthusiastic about your product or whatever as you are...so you'll have to find a way to advance yourself. An opportunity is nothing more than an opening, a chance to display your talents. If the people/market isn't interested in your product, then you'll either have to change your product or your marketing tactics.
Good luck with other opportunities.

The United States is a free market society. Individuals are taught from an early age that nothing is worth doing unless you are going to get paid for it.
