This is a problem with culture, to start with. What a disgusting attitude - to get an education to simply earn more. And to be disappointed when it did not happen. Think of some counter-examples: there were very educated, very cultured populations that were stuck in poverty and disadvantaged by the state - e.g., the Jewish population in the Imperial Russia. They perceived education as a worthy goal on its own, no matter how it affects the outcomes in life. And there are numerous more examples. I cannot really sympathise with anyone who only learn to earn money, no matter, on school level, or higher education.

@frogandspanner and this is exactly the culture issue. Cultures that do not value knowledge per se are crappy cultures and are very hard to change. A positive culture takes many generations to grow.

@MeiinUK Mind elaborating your point? Or you're just a point in case here?

@OnlineEnglish-wl5rp were not disadvantaged? Really? What planet are you from. They cannot be employed by the state. They had no right to live anywhere close to the central regions.
