I mean maybe she tried hard to get it, but even if everybody tried they would not get anything, simply because there won't be jobs like that for 99% of those trying hard.

Maybe not at $90 an hour, but I was a high school drop out and at one point I was working three or four crappy jobs at the same time just to make ends mean, and I surely wasn't living like a king - Shared apartment, crappy used car with a car payment, etc... After a year or two of this I was exhausted and knew I had to do something different.
I ended up working for the phone company. This was back in 1991 or 1992; Starting pay for an entry level position was $14/hour. Then factor in split differentials (working four hours, having four hours off, then working four more hours), more money for working past 6pm, overtime, and then later on the supervisor bonus..... I was making about $25/hour. That's not bad money for a high school drop out.
These jobs are out there.
The problem is some people will just never rise up to the challenge and move to get ahead.
