The UK hasn't fallen so far that they have no negotiating power with China or the USA. They still have the fifth largest economy in the world. Your argument also relies on the fact that the EU was acting in the interest of the UK and not just the EU as a whole and that those two interests are one and the same.
I think you also fail to recognize the class divide in the UK. If you did a poll, you'd find very few people from lower class backgrounds working in high paying IT jobs in the financial sector, free education or not.
I'd also like to see figure of UK citizens working abroad in other parts of the EU and how much they are making. And once again, my guess it that many of those working abroad in the EU are not from the working classes. I doubt UK citizens are out competing Polish labourers in Poland for pay rates. If they are forced to do that, there's something fundamentally wrong.
