Growing up in the 1920s and '30s was hard enough, but people in rural areas had special problems. For instance, educational opportunities were few and far between. Not many young people had the opportunity to finish high school let alone go to college. When the Great Depression hit in 1929, job opportunities became almost non-existent.
