TL, DR; It is much easier to do X if you have some basic level of financial security in your life.

Same goes for education. "Rich" people can pursue and education in terms of opportunity costs. Some kids I went to HS with had to work part time to support their own families, having less time to invest in their education ... really sad story.

Don't forget the unpaid internships. Only wealthy kids can take advantage of those.
