Thanks to social media and its popularity among the youth, it is now possible to remotely peek into peoples’ lives without necessarily being intrusive. After following a group of students for over 15 years, it is impossible to discount the influence of a family’s economic status on individuals’ life outcomes. From the observations made, close to 90% of average to below-average students from high and middle-class families were doing well either in careers or business. In contrast, only about 30% of above-average students from low-class backgrounds had managed to land worthwhile careers. Another notable aspect is the high tendency of high and middle-class families to take their children abroad where, surprisingly, even below-average students acquire qualifications and fairly good careers. Conclusion; compared to education, money is more important in shaping a child’s future.

This was just some informal survey out of curiosity. (After realizing kids I had written off were doing better than me in just a few years)
