A too boring life to be a role model

How can I explain to a teenager that going to school is necessary in order to get a good life?
How can I demonstrate what a good life is and a bad one?
How can I make it clear that there will be more options in life with an education?
How can I demonstrate what options there will be and what difference they will make?
How can I persuade anyone to follow in my footsteps and to study in order to get an interesting job?
I don't live a particularly interesting life. I always work. I don't have a high salary. I don't live fancy.
I spend my spare time washing, cleaning and cooking. I spend some of my time trying to get in shape. I've got a vacation a few weeks a year, and occasionally I spend a week abroad in another climate. Sometimes I go out and have fun but that's not very often. I'm getting older.
I'm definitely not a good role model for a teen ager.
"You live a shitty life. Why would I like to be like you?"
