Both are equally hard workers, but Bob makes considerably more money, since he has his master's degree.
It's pretty obvious that Josh isn't lazy, and Bob should realize that a considerable amount of his success is a result of being born into a well-off family.

when people hate the transfer program it has nothing to do with people. It has to do with the practicality and 'utility' of a program.
