There is this idea of job crafting, creating the job you want to have. This is easier for those higher up in the hierarchy as they have more autonomy. That concept gets the same criticism. But one of the most impactful paper on this topic is researching how cleaning staff in a hospital are crafting their job to enjoy it more.
Financial capital makes it easier to just do whatever you want to do. Social capital also makes it easier. But your personality also plays a role. It's the interplay between the three. If you don't have one, one of the other needs to be stronger.
Lastly about (near) poverty and creating change in your life, I think there is a level where you're life is so crap that you are willing to take big risks to create change. And then there is the level where it's really fucking hard, but the risk of doing a big change is too big. You're spending all your cognitive and emotional energy staying afloat, but as you are not yet drowning you are not ready for doing crazy stuff.
Wow, that was a long reply to a short reaction 🤣 It's for sure on my mind
