    Very few highly educated folks are poor, in fact, majority come from money.

    “More than three-quarters of medical students came from families in the top two quintiles of family income”

    I am from a family in the 3rd quartile, nobody ever said I could grow up to be a Doctor. Most told me to ‘go to state school and get a shitty office job and be happy with it’. In my college all the kids studying to be med students were driving used BMWs/Mercedes and paying several grand extra a year for parking, new dorms, and the like.
