Explanation
In this excerpt, Quentin expresses bitterness towards his richer peers who are also volunteering. He contrasts his own experience, where he's had to 'work and struggle for everything', with theirs', implying that they have money readily available from their parents. Quentin implies that their volunteer work may seem less genuine or significant because they never had to work or struggle for the money.
