Citizenship by descent, from the UK. Parents who live in France, but work in Switzerland. I would have to pay rent to live at home. They refused to pay for anything now I'm over 18. The article is saying that society ignores merit, and I agree, because it's much more about rich families supporting their children who inherit wealth. Earning wealth seems impossible.
I'm now 27. I was 21 when I graduated (accelerated Masters in 4 years straight from high school). I was 23 when I tried to start the PhD program.
I went for a terrible job in India because there was nobody else who would hire me. I sent hundreds of applications, mostly to Taiwan because I wanted to come here, but also other countries. Most companies just ignored me, or required me to fly somewhere at my own expense for an interview.
