I don't know how people don't fall into the trap of being poor and working minimum wage jobs. Even in high school, you have to play a sport since 5 just to make it onto the team. You have to study insanely hard to get good grades. And many of these top students don't even get into good colleges.
In college, the competition gets even worse by a factor of ten. You genuinely have to be born with a high IQ to excel in college. You are expected to get perfect grades, land multiple internships, and more just to get an entry level job
Even non-college paths are selective. Trade schools, despite what Redditors say, reject most applicants. The military turns away most applicants.
There are so little opportunities out there
