> is the opportunity to take risks without feeling the true punishment of hard failure Then it is not true a risk. I can see how this could lead to less effort

  It's risk of a person's time, which is obviously a finite resource for each of us. Those with less privilege typically need to spend that time addressing immediate financial imperatives rather than focusing on delayed financial or academic rewards.

    Doesn't that still make it a lower risk since for the poorer person, there is less available time (assuming priority is giving to addressing the financial situation & providing basic needs) ?
