What a depressing article. I actually disagree that if you don't go to a prestigious school or come from money that you can't get a decent paying job. My dad was a humble mechanic, my mother stayed at home and looked after the house. We didn't have a lot of money and we always rented, I went to a public school and I didn't even end up attending college/university after I finished senior studies. But here I am, earning a lot more than my indebted friends many of whom did study and get expensive degrees. As a front-end developer, I earn a six figure salary and have a comfortable life with minimal debt. I think these kinds of articles are demoralising and dangerous. Anyone from any walk of life, no matter their upbringing can succeed and get a high paying job. You just have to work a little bit harder than those with a headstart to get there. You will face a lot of setbacks, I know I did, but I didn't let it stop me from achieving my goals and getting a career that has opportunities. Yes there are companies out there who will discriminate talent based on what school they attended or what their last name is, but not every company offering a high paying job is like this, definitely not in Australia anyway.
