Definitely. I think it's all deeply complex and you can't just throw money at schools and fix it.
Economically segregated neighbourhoods and social networks in general put people at a disadvantage. If you grow up surrounded by affluent people, your network provided opportunities are huge. If all your friends and classmates are working minimum wage, they aren't going to help you score that sweet internship.
It's all really hard.
