It's circumstantial. There's definitely degrees of poverty. There's a lot of people who are born and raised on food stamps and government housing with at most a high school education. And lets face it, a high school education in that income bracket especially usually isn't much because typically poor, uneducated neighborhoods/cities don't have good schools. There are cases where school districts graduate students who are a grade or several behind according to standardized testing. For these people that's the only life they know and understand how to live. Some people manage to break away from that cycle but most don't and it's pretty easy to understand why.
