> Stats don't lie though, parents income and education is highly correlated with their childrens' success Is the lesson that parents' education causes this, or that parents who value education/learning produce that type of child? Not to be a "correlation != causation" parrot, but it's worth considering. Maybe being raised in an environment where participating in "the system" (school, college, salaried job) is the norm produces children who are more likely to participate in the system themselves? > but I got the interviews because I have a degree I wouldn't argue against this point on another site, but it should go without saying that here in hacker land this isn't really a thing.
