> And should such people go to university? Absolutely. The caveats are that if your family is rich/aristocratic class, then it probably matters much less and if your only options are mid tier universities, they might not be worth it. Universities offer resources, opportunities, a network, prestige (it really does), and an environment where the latest trends are talked about and examined, easy access to the latest journals and the like. I think a lot of people who grow up in the west don't understand what an impact western universities have on their societies. If you get a degree from a high tier university, many countries will let you in without much struggle, you are definitely in demand. Where I went multiple people became bitcoin multi-millionaires because they were reading block chain papers when the BTC price was below a dollar. I can't give such glowing reviews for universities for mid tier schools, but if you can get top 10/top25 on the world stage, I would say definitely.
