I don't disagree with that at all. We are 100% heading towards a class system, largely separated by people born into families that own lots of property and those born into families without it.

My point is that "earning" wealth via a professional degree isn't all that it's cracked out to be. Firstly, if you can earn $140k a year in various trades, you might be better off not spending all that money and taking a decade out of the work force. And, secondly, getting a professional degree, with a few exceptions, isn't going to help you overcome generational wealth. If you aren't earning the big bucks from property, you may not be better off going the professional degree path.
