I don't think that being willing to work has anything to do with it. It's more about having the mind set to pull your self out of that situation.
Back when I was in FL there used to be places they called day labor. You could go there get someone to work for you by the day for a set price.
Granted you weren't going to find over achievers there, but in most cases they would work because they wanted money. (usually beer money).
In most cases they likely weren't in the position of having to work in that kind of job because they were lazy, but rather they were drunks or simply not capable of getting their selves out of that situation.
I think many of you that seem to think that just because someone is poor means they are lazy welfare queens really need a reality check. There are many hard working poor people but most of them have no clue how to get out of that position.
