Since you think everybody elses career plans aren't aiming high enough, why don't you shed light on your own plans and please explain why you think thats better. Poster Ways, I'm telling you to continue working on your apps! You don't need anybody to tell you what you can do or can't do. Most people who tell you you can't do something are only insecure about themselves. When I come home from work on weekends and have delivery pizza with my fam, it tastes much better than those several hundred dollar plates. To those striving to own franchises like Subway, don't listen to this guy, he is clearly talking from his back side. First of all, those middle easterners you talk off are actually Indians. Secondly there is plenty of opportunity to grow and network with franchises like this. Good luck and go for it!

I'm sorry, my reply wasn't meant to offend or discourage anyone. My reply was meant to motivate-- perhaps inspire-- dreamers to do much more with there lives, to dream higher. I appreciate your story, but lets be serious, I'm sure you parents would have much rather been doing something greater than Subway. There's nothing wrong with lower income jobs, but if one can do better, than why not? Like yourself, I come from a very humble family. I was raised by a single mother who worked very hard to raise 4 children. Like many children out there, I would go to bed hungry on a regular basis, because my mother could not afford to feed me. I did have toys or a tv. It was thanks to my mothers hard work & selflessness, that I was able to attend one of the best private schools in the state. I obtained an education from a reputable school which opened many doors straight out of high school. Since then I have had many jobs with a corner offices and a view. I have done & reached heights that I otherwise wouldn't have, had I just settled for a service industry professions. I now own a marketing & advertising company here in Manhattan. Like I mentioned before, it's one of the best in the industry. I have been mentioned in various reputable publications, and have worked with a long list of well know companies. I live in a beautiful penthouse & live a very privileged life. I donate to many charitable causes, including charities that help undocumented people. So with that said, perhaps you should hold back your your rude critique of me. I'm not a "bad guy" for expecting more from my fellow dreamers. I realize that not everyone has the same opportunities that I do, but we've got to start some where and aim high. Dreamers need to know that there is hope.
